Someday you will read in the papers that Moody is dead. Don't you believe a word of it. At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I was born of the flesh in 1837, I was born of the spirit in 1855. That which is born of the flesh may die. That which is born of the Spirit shall live forever.

Summary

This quote expresses the belief that physical death does not equate to true death of the soul. The speaker, Moody, suggests that although his physical form may eventually cease, his spiritual self will continue to exist and thrive. He emphasizes the distinction between being born of the flesh, a temporary state bound to mortality, and being born of the spirit, an eternal essence. Moody challenges the idea of death being the end, asserting that true life extends beyond the boundaries of the material world and continues indefinitely.
