God can, and God only can deliver from death; no creature in heaven or earth can speak this but by commission from God; none can open this secret till God interpret it. Deliverance is the Lords salvation; and the word of salvation from sickness, as well as of salvation from hell, comes out from the Lord.
But is it not said (Pro: 11.4.) Righteousness delivereth from death.
But is it not sayd (Pro: 11.4.) Righteousness delivereth from death.
I answer; when it is said, Righteousness delivereth from death, The meaning is, God delivereth the righteous from death. He delivereth them from the sting and terror, from all that which is properly called the evil of corporal death; and he delivereth them wholly from the least touch or shadow of eternal death. And this righteousness which delivers from death is not our own, but the righteousness of Christ made ours by the appointment of God, and received as ours by faith. 'Tis neither any righteousness wrought in us, nor any righteousness wrought by us, but that righteousness which is wrought for us, which delivereth from death: and that delivereth us from death, because God saith of such a righteous person, deliver him, as often from temporal death, or going down to the pit of the grave, so always from eternal death, or going down to the pit of hell.
