Christians die in faith by continually trusting in Christ and His promises throughout their lives.
Christians die in faith in the same manner in which they live in faith—by looking to Jesus. This journey of faith isn't a one-time event but a continual and deepening trust in Christ from birth to death. Believers can face death with confidence, knowing that what Christ accomplished on their behalf ensures their salvation and ultimate victory over death. As demonstrated in the lives of the patriarchs who died in faith, their hope lay in trusting God's promises, despite not seeing them fully realized. Therefore, for believers today, maintaining that same faith means resting in the sufficiency of Christ's work and trusting His promises until the end of their earthly lives.
