What does the Bible say about the death of a believer?

Answered in 8 sources

The Bible describes the death of a believer as precious in the sight of the Lord (Psalm 116:15) and a departure to be with Christ (2 Corinthians 5:8).

Scripture speaks of the death of believers in a positive light, declaring it to be precious in God's sight (Psalm 116:15). For believers, death is not viewed as an end but as a transition to eternal life with Christ. The Apostle Paul indicates this in 2 Corinthians 5:8, where he expresses a desire to be 'absent from the body and present with the Lord.' This anticipation reflects an assurance that, upon death, believers will be welcomed into glory, experiencing the fulfillment of God's promises concerning eternal life.
