This is my only comfort in life and in death . . .

. . . that I am not my own, but belong — body and soul, in life and in death — to my faithful savior, Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood, and has set me free from the tyranny of the Devil. He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in Heaven — in fact, all things must work together for my salvation. Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.

- from the Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 1

(I’ve posted this in the past on my other blogs . . . and you’ll probably see it again here from time to time. It’s good to have a reminder.)

…and that indeed is the witness, that God has given eternal life and that life is in His Son, Jesus Christ!
