"Some day you will read in the
papers, 'D. L. Moody of East Northfield is dead.' Don't you believe a
word of it!
"At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now;
I shall have gone up higher, that is all,
out of this old clay tenement into a house that is immortal --
a body that death cannot touch, that sin cannot taint;
a body fashioned like unto His glorious body.
I was born of the flesh in 1837.
I was born of the Spirit in 1856.
That which is born of the flesh may die.
That which is born of the Spirit will live forever.
Dwight Lyman Moody
(1837-1899)
*************************************************************
"Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and
blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit
incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep,
but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye,
at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be
raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
"For
this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on
immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this
mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying
that is written: 'Death is swallowed up in victory.'...
"...thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord...." 1 Corinthians 15:50-58

Have you been
born of the Spirit? If so then one day you will pass into a better
life, more alive then you are today.
