Believers who die in the Lord enter into rest from their labors and receive eternal life with God (Revelation 14:13).
When believers die, they experience the fulfillment of the promise of eternal life. Revelation 14:13 indicates that they rest from their worldly struggles and labor, entering into the presence of God. This rest is not a cessation of existence but a profound experience of joy and holiness in a state free from sin and suffering. God's Word assures us of this transition, highlighting the profound hope that believers can have in Christ, which transcends the fear typically associated with death. Thus, their earthly struggles are left behind, and they experience the ultimate peace of fellowship with their Savior.
