How do we know that believers will be with God after death?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible assures that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, confirming the immediate presence of believers with God upon death.

The conviction that believers are united with Christ after death is underscored in 2 Corinthians 5:8, where Paul states, 'to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.' This promise assures Christians that there’s no purgatory or waiting period, but an immediate transition into God’s presence. Furthermore, passages like Romans 8:38-39 emphasize that nothing can separate believers from the love of God in Christ Jesus, reaffirming that death does not sever the union with the Lord but rather fulfills it. This rich theological truth encourages believers to view death not with fear but with hope.
