My Only Comfort

Q. What is my only comfort in life and in death?

A.  That I am not my own, but belong - body and soul, in life and in death - to my faithful Savior; Jesus Christ.

For the Bible Tells Me So...

1 Corinthians 6:19,20 

• Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? 
• For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. 

Romans 14:7-9 

• For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 
• For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 
• For to this end Christ died and rose and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 

1 Corinthians 3:23 

• And you are Christ’s, and Christ is God’s. 

Titus 2:14 

• …who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
