Dying Thoughts
Written near the close of his own life, Richard Baxter's meditations on Philippians 1:23 weigh the believer's strait between two: the goodness of remaining to serve Christ on earth against the far greater blessedness of departing to be with Him. Baxter examines his own heart with characteristic honesty, working through his doubts and fears about death to arrive at settled hope in the soul's future glory.
Based on Dying Thoughts by Richard Baxter (1683)
From the book
In Richard Baxter's own words
“Heaven is won or lost on earth; the possession is there, but the preparation is here.”
“Words and actions are transient things, and being once past, are nothing; but the effect of them on an immortal soul may be endless.”
