How do believers view death according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Believers view death as a departure to be with Christ, not as a final end.

From a biblical perspective, believers understand death not as a termination but as a passage to eternal life with Christ. The Apostle Paul makes it clear in 2 Corinthians 5:1-8 that the earthly body is merely a temporary dwelling. When believers depart from their earthly tabernacle, they are promised a new, eternal body. This view reframes death to be more about the hope of life with Christ in heaven, rather than a fear of death itself. It aligns with the biblical teaching that dying is gain, pointing to a more fulfilling existence in God's presence.
