How does Jesus assure believers about life after death?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus assures believers of eternal life by promising them that they will be with Him immediately after death.

This assurance is vividly expressed by Jesus when He speaks to the thief on the cross, stating, 'Today you will be with me in paradise' (Luke 23:43). For believers, death is not an end but a transition to an everlasting communion with Christ. Paul echoes this in 2 Corinthians 5:8, where he asserts that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. This certainty provides profound comfort, replacing fear with expectation as believers look forward to eternal fellowship with Christ and the fulfillment of all His promises.
Scripture References: Luke 23:43, 2 Corinthians 5:8
