When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable,
and the mortal with immortality,
then the saying that is written will come true:
“Death has been swallowed up in victory.”
“Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is
your sting?”
The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is
the law.
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm.
Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves
fully to the work of the Lord,
because you know that your labor in the Lord
is not in vain.
1 Corinthians 15:54-58
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
Psalm 42:1,2
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
Psalm 116:15
