Larger Catechism #85 (paraphrased into modern English) | Since death is the wages of sin, why are the righteous not delivered from death, seeing that all their sins are forgiven in Christ? |
At the Last Day the righteous shall be delivered from death itself, and even in death they are delivered from its sting and curse. Therefore, even though they die, it is out of God’s love so that by this means he sets them perfectly free from sin and misery, and makes them capable of fuller communion with Christ in glory, into which they enter at death. |
|
Shorter Catechism #37 (paraphrased into modern English) | What blessings does Christ give believers at their death? |
