Title- -Can True Faith Be Killed--Revelation 14-12-13-Blessed are the dead might seem like a strange verse, however, death is a blessing when you live with persevering faith. A life of perseverance brings a death full of promise. The promise in this passage is rest and reward which is the best that God can possibly give. This is why Jesus died and rose again. He died to take away the sins of many and rose from the dead to provide life eternal.
