One day soon, either through physical death or the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, we are going to pass out of this world. At that time we will leave every earthly possession behind, and at that time every mere earthly relationship and association will be severed and lost to us forever. Will this be the end of all of your joys, treasures, pleasures and dreams? It will be unless you are NOW dying to this world and this world is NOW dying to you, and you are living on Christ and Him crucified (Gal. 6:14). To true believers, leaving this world is not looked upon as a loss, but as great, precious, and eternal gain (Phil. 1:21). It is that "deliverance" which they have longed for (Rom. 7:24). For the first time since they have known Him who washed them from their sins in His own blood (Rev. 1:5; 5:9), they will be able to do that which they "WOULD" (Rom. 7:15-25; Gal. 5:17), that which they desire. Now they shall see, know, love and worship their Redeemer perfectly; that is, without sin. Now they shall dwell in that "better country," that "heavenly country" (Heb. 11:8-16). Now their faith is swallowed up in glorious sight. Now they see Him as He is and are made like Him (I John 3:1,2). Now they are "SATISFIED" (Psalm 17:15).
