I Shall Be More Alive Than Now
Story★★★★Once the famous American evangelist, Mr. Moody, remarked in a sermon, “Some day you will read in the papers that 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 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. That which is born of the flesh may die.
That which is born of the spirit will live for ever.” And that is the sure and blessed hope the Gospel inspires. “O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory ?
Thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
The point
D.L. Moody declares that physical death is merely leaving the body for a glorious, incorruptible one, and expresses confidence in resurrection victory.
