 MARCH 28 Our Souls Are Immortal |
PRAYER. Eternal Father, You created me and placed my soul in this mortal body. When this life passes, be merciful to me. |
|
IN the case of all, the soul, when severed
from the body, returns to God. God gave it.
He made it. He sent it into the body and He
upholds it there. He upholds it in distinct
existence, wherever it is. It animates the body
while life lasts. It relapses into the unseen state
upon death.
The point to be considered is this, that every soul which is or has been on earth has a separate existence, whether joined to a body or not. |
