Triumph

Let no reader think that a triumphant death is owing to a "good" life. Far from this. It is awakening to the fact that in God's sight all are guilty, lost, and helpless sinners. Despairing of any good in self, the Holy Spirit reveals God's great love to all in the gift of His spotless Son.
Triumphant death comes from simply believing God's statement about Christ: "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son." God's love produces love, and it is in resting absolutely and only on the finished work of Christ that salvation is assured.
Reader, have you seen yourself as a guilty, lost sinner before God? Have you been brought, through grace, to rest simply in Jesus who has borne the full weight of the judgment due to you?
