Never Fear Dying, Beloved.

Fear living!

(Charles Spurgeon)

"I desire to depart and be with 
CHRIST, which is better by far!" 
Philippians 1:23

Never fear dying, beloved. 
Dying is the last, but the least 
matter that a Christian has 
to be anxious about.

Fear living--
that is . . .
  a hard battle to fight,
  a stern discipline to endure,
  a rough voyage to undergo.

There is an essential difference 
between the decease of the godly--
and the death of the ungodly.

Death comes to the ungodly 
as a penal infliction--
but to the righteous, as a 
summons to his FATHER'S palace!

To the lost sinner, 
it is an eternal execution--
to the saint, death is an 
undressing from all his sins, 
sorrows and infirmities.

Death to the wicked, 
is the king of terrors!
Death to the saint, is the end 
of terrors and the commencement 
of glory!


"Let them fear death--
who do not fear sin!" 
Thomas Watson
