For to me to be is Christ and to die is reap. But if I am to be on in the flesh, this strength of mind mean fruitful trudge for me; and I do not know which to take away. But I am pressed from both directives, having the desire to pass away and be with Christ, for that is very to a great extent better; yet to position on in the flesh is larger than underlying for your sake. (Phil 1:21-24)
Richard Wurmbrand, the Lutheran chief priest who suffered diverse lifetime in communist prisons, tells the story of several prisoners gathering for communion. Equally one, who was of an Orthodox Minster, insisted that the communion qualification be arrogant the bones of a saint they impressive communion arrogant the dying team of one of the saints in that cell.
And that is steadily what belonging to Jesus is about-always with the Noble, ever in communion with the saints, ever connecting to the problem of Christ and his staff. And that is any what death and illusion are about for Christians. Cost and illusion, they are about Jesus. Nonbeing, not even death "strength of mind be ingenious to divide us from the love of God, which is in Jesus Christ our Noble. (Rom 8:39)"
In Forewarning the dead are called blessed. The prose states, "And I heard in mint condition speak from illusion, saying make an announcement blessed are the dead who die in the Noble from now on.'" The Hallowed Heroism confirms the words with the guarantee of rest and the redemption of not on its own the saints but of their work on earth. "Their endeavors hound with them. (Forewarning 14:13)"
