About This Book

A sermon meditates on the apostolic claim that whether believers live or die they belong to the Lord, contrasting worldly self-centeredness with gospel-shaped dependence and holiness. It argues that conversion reorders desires and duties so life becomes an offering to Christ and death a passage to eternal existence rather than an occasion for earthly vanity. The preacher grounds obedience in Christ’s redeeming work, urges humility, mutual equality among believers, and the bearing of the cross, and calls listeners to align conduct and choices with faith and the prospect of eternity.
