Death has no sting to a Believer. Once death was the penalty of sin-sin being forgiven, the penalty ceases and Christians do not die, now, as a punishment for their sin, but they die that they may be prepared to live!
Death is the justification of all the ways of the Christian, the last end of all his sacrifices, the touch of the Great Master which completes the picture.
Live in Christ, die in Christ, and the flesh need not fear death.
All I ask is that my final months be happy ones, and that I be permitted a husband who will see to my proper Christian beheading and burial.
No Christian is abandoned at the moment of death. The angels are the ushers, and our passage to heaven is under their escort.
Needless to say since Christ's expiation not one single Christian has been known to sin, or die.
Reflect on death as in Jesus Christ, not as without Jesus Christ. Without Jesus Christ it is dreadful, it is alarming, it is the terror of nature. In Jesus Christ it is fair and lovely, it is good and holy, it is the joy of saints.
The ancients dreaded death: the Christian can only fear dying.
See in what peace a Christian can die.
I have sent for you that you may see how a Christian may die.
Death is the Christian's vacation morning. School is out. It is time to go home.
When we grieve over someone who has died in Christ, we are sorrowing not for them, but for ourselves. Our grief isn't a sign of weak faith, but of great love.
