What does the Bible say about passing through death into glory?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible assures believers that death is merely a passage into eternal life with Christ, where fear is removed.

Scripture presents death for the believer as a passage rather than an end. It is described as a transition from this world to eternity, specifically stated in Philippians 1:23, where departing this life brings us to Christ, which is far better. Death is depicted as crossing a river, akin to Israel's passage through the Jordan to the promised land, symbolizing a safe journey into glory. Thus, for the believer, death opens the door to everlasting fellowship with God, emphasizing that through Christ, the sting of death is taken away (John 11:25).
