"Whosoever liveth and believeth in me, said Jesus, shall never die. To him that does believe in Jesus, that is, in the spiritual truth, law, and providence which he represents, and which he lived and died to glorify, no other death is more than a transient incident, except the deadness of the mind and heart to the beauty of holiness, the gain of godliness, the preciousness of truth, the majesty of virtue. The waking up and living up of man to these great realities is the true resurrection to life immortal. By such awakening and such life, immortality begins even here. To-day, even now, the Lord, the Saviour, the captain of salvation, speaks to each one of us and says, "If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. I know that the commandments of the Father are life everlasting and thou shalt know it, when thou knowest me, and through me Him that sent me."
