Approach Quote by Enoch Fitch Burr
“At the conscious approach of death, faith in the Biblical Religion, with its God and Christ and written Revelation, never weakens, but almost or quite always strengthens, and very often advances to a splendid assurance; while unbelief under the same circumstances never strengthens, but almost or quite always weakens and falters, and very often fails utterly.”
About This Quote
Faith in Christianity strengthens during death, while doubt weakens; belief offers assurance, doubt leads to faltering.
In simple terms: Faith grows near death, doubt declines.
