What does the Bible say about the desire to be with Christ?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible expresses that believers have a desire to be with Christ, which is illustrated in Philippians 1:21-23.

In Philippians 1:21-23, the Apostle Paul conveys the deep heart's desire of believers to be with Christ. He states, 'For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain,' indicating that a believer's true life is found in Christ. Paul expresses his inner conflict, desiring to depart and be with Christ, which he assures us is far better. This longing is not merely a desire for death but a profound yearning for the fullness of life found only in Christ.
