It is no wonder that a true saint is so earnest to be gone from this present
world if we consider how beneficial death is to a child of God. Death
puts an end to all his evils! In particular, there are nine evils which death will put an end to:
1. Death will put an end to a believer's SINS.
2. Death will put an end to a believer's TEMPTATIONS.
3. Death will put an end to a believer's FEARS.
4. Death will dry up a believer's TEARS.
5. Death will put an end to a believer's TROUBLES.
6. Death puts an end to a believer's CARES.
7. Death will put an end to all our NATURAL imperfections.
8. Death will put an end to the imperfections of GRACE.
9. Death will put an end to a weary PILGRIMAGE.
Though death is a bitter cup, there is sugar at the bottom. Death is the believer's best friend; for it brings him to Christ, which is far better.

Philippians 1:21 ... For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Philippians 1:23 ... For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better:
Psalm 55:6 ... And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
2 Corinthians 5:8 ... We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. ❤
