What happens to the soul of a believer at death?

Answered in 1 source

At death, a believer's soul is immediately received into heaven and experiences eternal joy.

When a believer dies, the soul is taken by angels into heaven, a state of everlasting fellowship with Christ and all the saints. This is illustrated in the story of Lazarus, who was taken to Abraham's bosom, indicating an immediate and joyous experience in the presence of God. The Apostle Paul also emphasizes the joy of meeting the Lord, expressing his desire to 'depart and be with Christ, which is far better' (Philippians 1:23). The soul's journey is one of comfort and bliss, not a waiting period of inactivity.
Scripture References: Luke 16:22, Philippians 1:23
