“You might wonder what comforted me in Life and in Death?”

“I was comforted and strengthened by the fact that I belonged body and soul, in life and in death, to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ.

I knew He had fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood and that He had set me free from the tyranny of the devil. Throughout my life He watched over me in such a way that not a hair fell from my head unless it was His will that it do so. For all the days of my life, God caused everything to work together for my good, the easy things and the hard things as well. Because I belonged to God by faith in Christ, I was assured of eternal life, and willing to follow and live for Him no matter what.”

If you would enjoy God’s comfort in life and in death you must, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you too will be saved!

John 3:16  “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him. 18 “He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
