What does the Bible say about death and hope in Christ?

The Scripture declares that death is appointed unto all men (Hebrews 9:27), but for believers, it is not the end. Abraham's mourning for Sarah illustrates that even great saints experience grief; however, they do so with hope. In Psalm 116:15, it is stated that the death of the saints is precious in the sight of the Lord, indicating that God views His people as precious and gives them grace in Christ. The hope of eternal life, secured through the resurrection of Jesus, empowers believers to face death without fear, looking forward to being with the Lord eternally.
