What does the Bible say about death for Christians?
Answered in 5 sources
The Bible teaches that death is a gain for Christians, leading them to be with Christ in glory (Philippians 1:21-23).
The Apostle Paul emphasizes in Philippians 1:21-23 that for Christians, death should be perceived not as a loss, but as a significant gain. Death is the portal through which believers transition from life on earth to the rewarding presence of Christ in heaven. Paul portrays being with Christ as the ultimate blessing, surpassing even the blessings experienced during life. This perspective reassures Christians that death ultimately leads to a richer, more fulfilling existence.
