How do we know the blessedness of dying in the Lord?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that the death of God's saints is precious and blessed, as seen in Psalm 116 and Revelation 14.
Scripture emphasizes the blessedness of dying in the Lord through multiple passages. Psalm 116:15 states, 'Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints,' illustrating God's affectionate regard for His faithful servants at their passing. This theme continues in Revelation 14:13, where it says, 'Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth.' This blessedness is rooted in the believer's assurance of eternal life and their ultimate victory over sin and death through Christ's redemptive work. The Reformed understanding of death frames it positively, as a gain and a transition to fuller communion with God, dispelling the fear often associated with mortality.
