What does the Bible say about death being precious for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible calls the death of God's saints precious because it signifies their homecoming to eternal joy and communion with Christ.

According to Psalm 116:15, the death of the saints is precious in the sight of the Lord. This is because, for Christians, death is not seen as a calamity but as a transition into eternal life. It represents the final step in their journey toward full communion with Jesus, one that is purchased by His redeeming blood. The Lord values the eventual bringing home of His redeemed children, thus making their death precious.
