To live the life of God we must have the nature of God.

Your yearning for God must supersede all other desires. It must be like a gnawing hunger and a burning thirst.

Remember that “where God guides, He provides. Where He leads, He supplies all needs.

Has God designated any one person here on earth to speak with final authority about Him? No—the one Man who could do that lived two thousand years ago, and we crucified Him!

If we have no mercy toward others, that is one proof that we have never experienced God’s mercy.

For centuries mankind has been on an incredible journey, taking him across every generation and through every conceivable experience in his search for God.

Many people say they do not fear death, but the process of dying. It’s not the destination, but the trip that they dread.

Death for the Christian is the doorway to heaven’s glory. Because of Christ’s resurrection we can joyously say with Paul, “Where, O death, is your victory?” [1 Corinthians 15:55 NIV].

Death is not the end of the road—it is merely a gateway to eternal life beyond the grave.

For the Christian, death can be faced realistically and with victory, because he knows “that neither death nor life . . . shall be able to separate us from the love of God” [Romans 8:38–39 NKJV].

If people paid more attention to death, eternity, and judgment, there would be more holy living on earth.

Death is said in the Bible to be a coronation for the Christian.

Death reduces all men to the same rank. It strips the rich of his millions and the poor man of his rags . . .Death knows no age limits, no partiality. It is a thing that all men fear.

One of the primary goals in life should be to prepare for death. Everything else should be secondary.

Death for [a Christian] is no accident. With God there are no accidents, no tragedies, and no catastrophes as far as His children are concerned.

When we all reach the end of our earthly journey, we will have just begun.

From the moment a child is born, the death process, and the fight against it, begins.

Life and death is not a do-it-yourself project.

Christ did not die by accident. He died voluntarily in our place.

Someday this life will end, but for the Christian death also marks a beginning—the beginning of a new life with God that will last forever.

Death carries with it a certain dread. It [is] the enemy, the great, mysterious monster that makes people quake with fear.

Someday a loving Hand will be laid upon your shoulder and this brief message will be given: “Come home.

Death of the righteous . . . is not to be feared or shunned. It is the shadowed threshold to the palace of God.

We now have the advantage of a few years more of life, but death is still standing at the end of the road.

Cut out some of your “important social engagements, ” and make your home the center of your social life. God will honor you, and your children will grow up to call you “blessed” [Proverbs 31:28].

In many homes and among so-called educated people—it has become fashionable to joke about the Bible and to regard it more as a dust-catcher than as the living Word of God.

If there were no heaven and no hell, I would still want to be a Christian because of what it does for our homes and our own families in this life.

The world is not a permanent home, it is only a temporary dwelling.

It is far easier to live an excellent life among your friends, when you are putting your best foot forward and are conscious of public opinion, than it is to live for Christ in your home.

If you are a true Christian, you will not give way at home to bad temper, impatience, fault-finding, sarcasm, unkindness, suspicion, selfishness, or laziness.

The Bible takes the word home with all of its tender associations and sacred memories, and applies it to the hereafter and tells us that heaven is home.

God does not want an apartment in our house. He claims our entire home from attic to cellar.

One final reason for choosing God’s path is of supreme importance: It leads us home.

For the believer there is hope beyond the grave, because Jesus Christ has opened the door to heaven for us by His death and resurrection.

Faith points us beyond our problems to the hope we have in Christ.

Earth’s troubles fade in the light of heaven’s hope.

Only because Jesus is God and we have confessed Him as Savior and Lord, can He bestow and we receive these benefits, this blessed assurance and hope (see Romans 10:9).

All mankind is sitting on Death Row. How we die or when is not the main issue, but where [we] go after death.

Death is not a trip, but a destination.

Someone has said that death is not a period, but a comma in the story of life.
