The closest relation on earth–the marriage bond–has an end. Marriage is only “until death us do part.” But the relation between Christ and the sinner who trusts in him, never ends. It lives when the body dies. It lives when flesh and heart fail. Once begun, it never withers. It is only made brighter and stronger by the grave. “I am persuaded,” says Paul, “that neither life, nor death, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature–shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord!” (Romans 8:38,39).
