Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death. Why shouldst thou be afraid to die, who hopest to live by dying!
— William Gurnall
Christ’s Death
It is true that we are sinners – but Christ has suffered for us. It is true that we deserve death – but Christ has died for us. It is true that we are guilty debtors – but Christ has paid our debts with His own blood. This is the real Gospel! On this let us lean while we live. To this let us cling when we die. Christ has been “lifted up” on the cross, and has thrown open the gates of heaven to all believers.
— J. C. Ryle
Death
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
Death of Christ and Sin
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
