How do we know that death is gain for Christians?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible asserts that for Christians, death is gain because it leads to being with Christ, which is far better (Philippians 1:23).

In Philippians 1:23, Paul expresses a desire to depart and be with Christ, which he considers 'far better'. This highlights the Christian hope that death is not the end but a transition to being in the glorious presence of Jesus. The apostle underscores that leaving behind a world filled with sin, pain, and suffering is a gain, as it allows believers to experience true life and joy in fellowship with Christ. This perspective fundamentally contrasts with the worldly view of death as a loss; for believers, it is an anticipated gain, a fulfillment of the promise of eternal life in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:8).
