Argument XII.
Lastly, Let no Christian be affrighted at death, considering that the death of Christ, is the death of Death, and hath utterly disarmed it of all its destructive power.
LAstly, Let no Christian be affrighted at death, considering that the death of Christ, is the death of Death, and hath utterly disarmed it of all its destructive power.
If you tremble when you look upon death, yet you cannot but triumph when you look believingly upon Christ.
For (1) Christ died (O believer) for thy sins, Rom. 4.25. his death was an expiatory Sacrifice for all thy guilt, Gal. 3.13. so that thou shalt not die in thy sins: the pangs of death may, and must be on thy outward man, but the guilt of sin, and the Condemnation of God shall not be upon thy inner man.
