How do we know that death is not the end for Christians?
Answered in 2 sources
Christians believe that death leads to eternal life in the presence of God, as affirmed in scripture that assures believers of their hope beyond death.
The assurance that death is not the end for Christians stems from the promises of scripture. For believers, the significance of death transforms because of Christ's redemptive work. Death for us is no longer an execution of justice or a severing of hope; instead, it represents a passage to eternal glory. As stated in 1 Corinthians 3:21-23, believers are promised a departure from this world to be with the Father. Thus, death for a Christian indicates a fulfillment of God’s promises and a joyful reunion with Him in heaven.
