Live in Christ and the flesh need not fear death.
– John Knox –
If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one GO there UNWARNED and UNPRAYED for.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Live in Christ and the flesh need not fear death.
– John Knox –
Sin is a poisonous weed that throws the whole nature out of order. The inner life disintegrates; the flesh lusts after forbidden pleasures; the moral judgment is distorted so that often good appears evil and evil good; time is chosen over eternity, earth over heaven and death over life.
– AW Tozer –
I shall ask God mercifully to protect us. Then I shall fumigate, help purify the air, administer medicine and take it. I shall avoid places and persons where my presence is not needed in order not to become contaminated and thus perchance inflict and pollute others and so cause their death as a result of my negligence. If God should wish to take me, he will surely find me and I have done what he has expected of me and so I am not responsible for either my own death or the death of others. If my neighbor needs me however I shall not avoid place or person but will go freely as stated above. See this is such a God-fearing faith because it is neither brash nor foolhardy and does not tempt God.
– Martin Luther –
concerning The Black Plague death of his day
Live in Christ and the flesh need not fear death.
– John Knox –
Faith is a living and unshakable confidence — a belief in God so assured that a man would die a thousand deaths for its sake.
– Martin Luther –
Hope fills the afflicted soul with such inward joy and consolation, that it can laugh while tears are in the eye, sigh and sing all in a breath; it is called “the rejoicing of hope” (Hebrews 3:6).
– William Gurnall –
I have but one candle of life to burn, and I would rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light.
