Conflicts bring experience and experience brings that growth in Grace which is not to be attained by any other means!
Charles SpurgeonDeath has no sting to a Believer. Once death was the penalty of sin-sin being forgiven, the penalty ceases and Christians do not die, now, as a punishment for their sin, but they die that they may be prepared to live!
Charles SpurgeonThere should be as much difference between the worldling and the Christian, as between hell and heaven, between destruction and eternal life.
Charles SpurgeonGod knows where every particle of the handful of dust has gone; he has marked in his book the wandering of every one of its atoms. He hath death so open before His view, that He can bring all these together, bone to bone, and clothe them with the very flesh that robed them in the days of yore, and make them live again.
Charles Spurgeon
