“The entrance into heaven is not at the end of this life”
— Jonathan Edwards

Simplified Meaning:
The quote is saying that experiencing true happiness or peace doesn't only happen after we die. We can find parts of that same joy while we are still living. Think about someone who spends their life helping others, like Mother Teresa. Even though her ultimate reward might be in the afterlife, she found a kind of heaven in the smiles and gratitude of the people she helped. In our daily lives, doing good deeds, being kind to others, and finding joy in small moments can give us a taste of true happiness, not just later but right now. You don't have to wait until you die to experience peace and joy; you can create pieces of it every day through your actions and attitudes.
