Who takes the righteous away according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible states that it is the Lord who takes the righteous away from the evil of this world.

In Isaiah 57:1, the text suggests that the righteous do not just passively leave this world; they are taken away intentionally by God Himself. Unlike chance or fate, the belief in God's sovereignty assures believers that their departure from this life is orchestrated by their best friend—Christ. This theme is echoed in John 14, where Jesus assures His followers of His preparation for their eternal home. Such a perspective provides great comfort, especially in times of loss, as it emphasizes God's active role in guiding His people out of the trials of this fallen world.
