There is no tribunal so magnificent, no throne so stately, no show of triumph so distinguished, no chariot so elevated, as is the gibbet on which Christ hath subdued death and the devil.
— John Calvin (1509–1564)

There is an essential difference between the decease of the godly and the death of the ungodly. Death comes to the ungodly man as a penal infliction, but to the righteous as a summons to his Father’s palace. To the sinner it is an execution, to the saint an undressing from his sins and infirmities. Death to the wicked is the King of terrors. Death to the saint is the end of terrors, the commencement of glory.
— C. H. Spurgeon
Sin could not die, unless Christ died; Christ could not die, without being made sin; nor could he die, but sin must die with him.
Elisha Coles
Jesus Christ never died for our good works. They were not worth dying for. But he gave himself for our sins, according to the Scriptures.
— Martin Luther
When the time comes for you to die, you need not be afraid, because death cannot separate you from God’s love.
— C. H. Spurgeon
