THE DEATH OF A RIGHTEOUS PERSON - PRO 14:32
By Robert Arthur
Indeed, the hope to die a righteous death is the ultimate goal of every Christian. The word of God has quite a sizable number of importance and benefits in and for those who die in righteousness.
Balaam, the prophet seeing the need to die the death of the righteous after he has been lured into the luxury offers of King Balak to curse God's people prayed this prayer "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his" Num 23:10. But remember, to die the death of a righteous is not a prayer request, it is nothing more than our good deeds done in this life.
BENEFITS OF DYING THE RIGHTEOUS DEATH:
1. It is a great gain for the Christian - Phil 1:21
2. It is priceless to God - Ps 116:15
3. They are gone to rest - Isa 57:1-2
4. It is regard as being asleep in the Lord - 1 Thess 4:13-18
