In the face of the last enemy, Death, my Overcomer gives me trust in the True God, who is my highest good, nay, my only good. The first issue to be dealt with is syncretism, which adds trust in something else besides God alone. Unbelief is the enemy that wants to “cover all the bases,” instead of just hitting a home run.
When trust is firmly placed in Christ alone we discover that we have everything we need; we don’t possess everything, but by the grace of God through the faith given to us we possess the Possessor of all things. In place of sorrows we have: a solid destiny, a pleasant place, a beautiful inheritance, wise counsel and direction, the presence of God for protection and blessing, inner joy, rest in hope, fullness of joy today and pleasures forever.
Finally and climactically, I will not be abandoned in death because of the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, which resurrection I share. I rise up in confidence against the danger of death; Jesus rose up in confidence from the stronghold of death. Amen, it is so.
