"The Character and Happiness of Them That Die in the Lord" by William Dealtry is a sermon delivered in the early 19th century, specifically in 1822. The work falls within the genre of religious discourse focused on themes of faith, mortality, and the triumph of the righteous after death. The sermon addresses the topic of Christian consolation and the blessed state of those who die believing in the Lord, provided they have lived in accordance with Christian principles. In this sermon, Dealtry reflects on the significance of dying "in the Lord," expounding on the nature of true faith and the blessings that accompany spiritual assurance at life's end. He emphasizes that only those who possess a living faith, manifesting itself through good works, are deemed blessed in death. The sermon offers a comforting perspective for mourners, highlighting that while life is filled with trouble, those who die in faith find rest from their earthly labors, and their righteous deeds continue to follow them into eternity. By illustrating these points through theological reflection and personal anecdotes about a recently deceased minister, Dealtry seeks to inspire hope and encourage a steadfast commitment to the Christian faith amidst life's trials.
