I'm reading a series of sermons by Philip Henry (Matthew Henry the Bible Commentator's father), and thought I would share some quotes as I go along. Using the book "Christ All in All" as a devotional, I'm reading just one sermon a day, but each one is full of rich doctrine!
When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
—Colossians 3:4
"While soul and body are together, we live. When they part, we die. Now who brought them together, who keeps them together? Jesus Christ. Then He is our natural life."
"Spiritual life is the life of the soul flowing from its union with God. When God and the soul come together, the soul lives, When they part, it dies. Your soul is but the carcass of a soul if it have not union with God. Now there is no union with God but by Jesus Christ."
"Life spiritual, the life of grace, is life eternal, the life of glory begun. And life eternal, the life of glory, is life spiritual, the life of grace perfected. They differ as the child's life and the man's life; as the morning sun from the noon sun; as the spring from the summer, the budding rose from the blown rose."
"Presume not, neither say, "I will tomorrow," for tomorrow is none of ours. The uncertainty of the continuance of life natural should make us hasten to secure life spiritual and life eternal."
