Incidents of the War

We will not make the great mistake of thinking that his dear soul was saved just because he died bravely and rightly. That is not the Bible’s teaching. There is only one death that saves our sinful souls; it is the death of Jesus. The happy ones in heaven, we read (Rev. 7:1414And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. (Revelation 7:14)) have “washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb,” not in their own blood. They are forgiven and welcomed by the holy God, only because His Son bore their sins on the Cross, and they looked unto Him and were saved.” ―Bishop of Durham, in a letter of comfort to a sorrow-stricken friend.
I am sure the Word of God is the good old way that will certainly bring me to my Father’s house.” ―Bishop Beveridge.
