All God s works are shrouded in impenetrable mystery. Life, natural life, in its origin, in its nature, its processes, baffles the most careful investigator.

Its nature, the laws which govern it, the causation, all lie beyond the purview of human inquiry.

The new birth is the dividing line between Heaven and Hell. In the physical realm there is no such thing as being between life and death. A man is either dead or alive.

Let that spark go out altogether, and. though you may dress the body in beautiful clothes, nevertheless, it is nothing more than a corpse.
