How do we know that death is a blessing for believers?

The Scripture provides profound assurance that death is a blessing for those who are in Christ. In 2 Corinthians 5:1, Paul explains that our earthly bodies are temporary, and that we have a heavenly dwelling awaits us. Death, therefore, is not a defeat but a transition into the fullness of joy and communion with God. This biblical truth transforms our understanding and experience of grief; we mourn not as those without hope, knowing that our loved ones who have passed on are with the Lord, enjoying the eternal blessings of heaven. In this way, death becomes the ultimate entrance to the greatest blessing: eternal life in God's presence.
