Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

Comfort on a Dying Bed

Certainly happiness lies not in those things that cannot comfort a man upon a dying bed. Is it honors, riches, or friends that can comfort thee when thou comest to die? Or is it not rather faith in the blood of Christ, the witness of the Spirit of Christ, the sense and feeling of the love and favor of Christ, and the hopes of eternally reigning with Christ?
