Quotes about Death

Life in death concerns those who are titled and whose titles, since they are timeless, may not be extinguished by death.

What greater pain could mortals have than this To see their children dead before their eyes

There can be no reproach to pain unless we assume human dignity, there is no reason for restraints on pleasure unless we assume human worth, there is no legitimacy to monotony unless we assume a greater purpose to life, there is no purpose to life unless we assume design, death has no significance unless we seek what is everlasting.

Christians must share their faith in obedience to the Great Commission, because we are only seeing the fruit of sin this side of death.

Don't listen to the enemy. The devil came to kill, steal and destroy (see John 10:10). All he offers is death. Instead, if you want to live, listen to the life-giving words of the Word of God.
