Death is a solemn event for everyone. It is the winding up of all earthly plans and expectations. It is a separation from all we have loved and lived with. It is often accompanied by much bodily pain and distress. It opens the door to judgement and eternity - to heaven or to hell. It is an event after which there is no change, or space for repentance.
J. C. RyleLet us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.
J. C. RyleIf I never spoke of hell, I should think I had kept back something that was profitable, and should look on myself as an accomplice of the devil.
