How do Christians find peace about dying?

Peace in the face of death comes from knowing Christ as our Savior. The Apostle Paul expresses this in Philippians 1:21, where he states that 'to live is Christ, and to die is gain.' For believers, death is not a fearful end but the beginning of eternal communion with Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:8 assures us that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. This hope allows Christians to face death without fear, knowing that Christ has overcome death and that our righteousness is secure in Him.
