Church Triumphant

Church Triumphant refers to believers who have died and are now in eternal life with God in heaven. It contrasts with the Church Militant, which includes living members actively practicing faith, and the Church Suffering, those in purgatory undergoing purification. The term signifies the victorious, eternal presence of the faithful who have completed their earthly journey and are now in divine fellowship. It emphasizes hope and the ultimate reward of faithfulness, highlighting the belief in life after death and the ongoing communion of saints across time.
