What happens to believers at death according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Believers immediately enter the presence of the Lord upon death.

2 Corinthians 5:8 succinctly states, 'to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.' This means that when believers die, their spirits are immediately in the presence of Christ, signifying a profound transition to eternal life. This understanding brings comfort and hope, affirming that their physical death is not an end but a glorious beginning in the Lord’s eternal kingdom.
