"You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy.  He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.
~Revelation 3:4-5~

"As it is written: 'No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him'--but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God."
~1 Corinthians 2:9-10~
 
*Some would assert that these verses do not allude to heaven (see the MacArthur Study Bible, along with this article and this one), but I can't help but disagree.  In trying to find someone who is in agreement with my disagreement, I discovered this commentary by Vincent's Word Studies (scroll waaaaaay down in order to reach it).
