The Bible teaches that believers can be ready to die through faith in Christ, as His work is sufficient for salvation.
Believers can approach death with confidence knowing that what Christ has done is enough for their salvation. In the sermon, it was highlighted that David, approaching his death, encouraged Solomon to be strong and faithful. Likewise, Paul also referred to death as a departure to a better place, emphasizing that believers are ready to depart because they rest in Christ's finished work. Being in Christ means having assurance of eternal life, which brings peace even in the face of death.
