These are made treasuries and pure habitations of God: For I will dwell in them, said God, and walk in them, and I will be their God Levit. xxvi. 12; 2 Cor. vi. 16.. The divine Scripture likewise saith that the souls of the just are in God’s hand Wisd. iii. 1. and death cannot lay hold of them. For death is rather the sleep of the saints than their death. For they travailed in this life and shall to the end Ps. xl. 9, 10., and Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints Ibid. cxvi. 15.. What then, is more precious than to be in the hand of God? For God is Life and Light, and those who are in God’s hand are in life and light.
