What does it mean that believers will not be hurt by the second death?

Answered in 1 source

Being unharmed by the second death means that believers have eternal life through faith in Christ, shielding them from eternal separation from God.

In Revelation 2:11, Jesus promises that, 'He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death.' The second death refers to the final judgment and eternal separation of the unrighteous from God's presence. For believers, this assurance underscores the victory won through Christ's death and resurrection. Because of our union with Him, we are granted eternal life and are kept from the ultimate consequences of sin, affirming our secure position as children of God. This promise is critical for understanding the Christian hope and assures followers that their trials are temporary and their eternal joy is secure.
