Olivian's Dying Saying

“Olivia7i, whe7i dyi7ig, co777forted with that pro77iisey (Isa. liv. lo,)’ The 77ioimtai7is shall depart, a7idthc hills be re77ioved; but 77iy ki7id7iess shall 7iot depart fro77i thee.’ Bei7ig 17i the agonies of death, he said, ‘’Sight is go7ie, speech a7id heari7tg a7’e departi7ig,feeli7ig is al77iost go7ie, but the lovingki7id7icss of God will 7iever depart J The Lord give 21s such a co72fide7ice 17i that day that we 77iay die glorying 17i the prese7’vatio7i of our

Redeemer P To this end let us live in the like assurance. It is certain that God can never leave those who put their trust in him, and it becomes us to be certain of this certainty. The security of the saints is grounded, not upon their own faithfulness, but upon the faithfulness of him to whose keeping they have committed their souls. If the Lord can depart from his people they will assuredly depart from him and perish; their comfort is that he has said in his covenant, “I will put my fear in their hearts, and they shall not depart from me.” Our soul may live and die on this one sure promise.
