Words of Love
by C. H. Spurgeon
July 11
Yes, LORD, we believe it; we shall never die. Our
soul may be separated from our body, and this is death of a kind; but our soul shall
never be separated from God, which is the true death -- the death which was threatened
to sin -- the death penalty which is the worst that can happen. We believe this most
assuredly, for who shall separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus
our LORD? We are members of the Body of Christ; will Christ lose parts of His Body?
We are married to Jesus; will He be bereaved and widowed? It is not possible. There
is a life within us which is not capable of being divided from God: yea, and the
Holy Spirit dwells within us, and how then can we die? Jesus, Himself, is our life,
and therefore there is no dying for us, for He cannot die again. In Him we died unto
sin once, and the capital sentence cannot a second time be executed. Now we live,
and live forever. The reward of righteousness is life everlasting, and we have nothingless
than the righteousness of God, and therefore can claim the very highest reward.
Living and believing, we believe that we shall live and enjoy. Wherefore we press
forward with full assurance that our life is secure in our living Head.
