These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth–(Heb. 11:13.
It most certainly is true, that all men shall die (Heb. 9:27). However, it is not true that all men shall die in faith, for all men have not the faith of God's elect (2Thes. 3:2). Those who die in faith are those given to Christ Jesus in the eternal covenant of grace (Eph. 1:3-6). Those who die in faith are those for whom the Lord Jesus Christ lived as high priest to represent us (Heb. 2:17) and died as the atoning sacrifice to redeem and justify us (Heb. 9:12; 26). Those who die in faith are those for whom the Lord Jesus Christ as the forerunner occupies the very throne of God as Advocate and Mediator (Heb. 6:20, 7:25; 1John 2:1; 1Tim. 2:5). Those who die in faith are those who have heard the gospel of God's sovereign grace in Christ and have been given life to believe and trust Christ alone for all their righteousness before God (2Cor. 5:17; 1John 5:1). Those who die in faith are those who live by faith (Heb, 10:38), looking to the Lord Jesus Christ to provide all things in salvation for us (Heb. 12:2; Phil. 4:19). Those who die in faith are those who are persuaded the gospel is true (Rom. 4:20). Believers do embrace and love all the promises of God in Christ (2Cor. 1:20). The redeemed will confess that they are looking and longing for our heavenly inheritance in Christ (Heb. 11:10). Those made new by His grace declare plainly that they are seekers of Christ (Heb. 11:6). God's sheep desire better in Christ (Heb. 11:16), better covenant, sacrifice, and substance (Heb. 7:19, 22; 8:6). Oh, my friend what a privilege to be granted and given faith in the Lord Jesus Christ (Eph. 2:8-9). No wonder Peter called it, "precious faith" (2 Peter 1:2). Oh, for grace to trust Christ more and more.
