The Bible teaches that those who are in Christ will die in peace, having no condemnation.
The Bible presents a profound assurance for believers regarding death, particularly in Romans 8:1, which states, 'There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.' This indicates that for those who are united with Christ through faith, death does not mean judgment or wrath but is an entry into eternal peace. The concept of dying in peace is reflected in Josiah's story, where God's promise assures him that he will be gathered to his grave in peace despite the turbulent circumstances he faced during his reign. This peace is grounded in the gospel of Christ, who is our righteousness, thereby providing believers with tranquility in heart and mind as they approach their end.
