James 4:14.
So, you can see that this life which all men have for the mere passing moment, is not real life: it is “even a vapor.”
And this death that we meet when that vapor “vanisheth away” is not real death: it is a sleep.
Only that life which is the life of God is life indeed; and only that death from which there is no resurrection, from whose power there is no possible deliverance,—only that is death indeed.
This life which is but a vapor,
and this death which is but a sleep,
form for mankind a valley of decision between the life which is life indeed and the death which is death indeed."
A.T. Jones
