To Depart Out Of This World

Summary

The sermon explores the biblical concept of departing from this world to be with the Father, emphasizing that believers' souls immediately go to be with God upon death. It contrasts this present evil world, ruled by the devil, with the eternal world to come, where there is no death or marriage, only the family of God. The preacher highlights God's unwavering love for His people, the sufficiency of His grace in trials, and the hope of a prepared heavenly dwelling. Key biblical examples include Jesus' departure, the thief on the cross, and the faith of the patriarchs looking forward to a heavenly city.
