What does the Bible say about hope in death?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible teaches that the righteous have hope in their death, as expressed in Proverbs 14:32, highlighting the contrast between the righteous and the wicked.

The scripture in Proverbs 14:32 presents a stark contrast between the righteous and the wicked, affirming that the righteous have hope even in death. This hope arises from the imputed righteousness of Christ, who is the only truly righteous one. Through Christ, believers are assured that death is not the end, but a gateway to eternal life where they will be in the presence of God. In the face of death's inevitability, the Christian finds hope in the promise of resurrection and eternal communion with Christ, as Paul elaborates in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18, where believers are reminded of the comfort in the resurrection of Jesus and the glorious hope that accompanies it.
