“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus. And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them” (Revelation 14:12-13).

The first thing we see about the dead who are blessed is their position: they are in the Lord. They are in the Lord by choice because He elected them. They are in the Lord by blood because He redeemed them. They are in the Lord by calling because He drew them to Himself.

Then we see their description: they are called saints and they are described as being obedient. They keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

Finally the text speaks of their rest—all trouble ended, all conflict over—eternal rest with the Lord.
