Why is this so? Because then we feel hemmed in on all sides. If we look back, we are met by unpaid sin and unforgiven evil; if we direct our gaze forward, we meet God, the impartial Judge, eternal blessedness — which we have lost for the fleeting sweetness of sin — and the torments of hell, ready to swallow us up forever. In short, we fear death because we are sinners. Were we righteous, it would be otherwise. We would meet death not with terror, but with joy.<br><br><span></span></div><a href="http://www.mystagogyresourcecenter.com/2026/02/on-what-is-necessary-in-order-to-meet.html#more"></a>

My choice was the latter arrangement.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br/></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://mega.nz/file/CAghBR4B#g6Y4h5U4hsjBsUBkEidTTIFb7TxdZ34f-d-6oUr8nFQ" target="_blank">https://mega.nz/file/CAghBR4B#g6Y4h5U4hsjBsUBkEidTTIFb7TxdZ34f-d-6oUr8nFQ</a><br/></div> <div style="clear: both;"></div>
