How do we know the concept of blessings for the dead is true?

Answered in 1 source

The assurance of blessings for those who die in the Lord comes from divine revelation, specifically stated in Scripture.

The concept of blessings for the dead who die in the Lord is affirmed by a voice from heaven in Revelation 14:13, which is deemed trustworthy and authoritative. This truth is not merely a theological possibility but a definite statement of certainty given by God. The Holy Spirit reinforces this message, illustrating that for believers, there is no condemnation but rather rest and joy upon death. This is further echoed by the assurance found in scripture contexts like Matthew 25:34, where blessings are promised to the elect, established before the foundation of the world.
