How do we know that death is beneficial for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Death is beneficial for Christians as it liberates them from sin and suffering, leading to eternal joy in God's presence.

Death is not only a natural part of life but a beneficial event for Christians. Philippians 1:21 states, 'For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.' This gain comes as death delivers believers from the corruptions and struggles of this earthly life, leading them to eternal peace and joy. In Romans 7:19, Paul discusses the internal struggle with sin, and how death frees believers from this conflict. When Christians die, they leave behind all pain and temptation, and they enter into the comforting presence of the Lord. This fullness of joy, as described in Psalm 16:11, reassures believers that death is not something to dread, but an elevation to the glory of God.
