Why is assurance important for Christians facing death?

Answered in 2 sources

Assurance is vital for Christians as it provides peace and confidence in God's promises during the time of death.

For believers, assurance in God's saving grace through Christ offers profound comfort when facing death. Knowing that their redemption is secure fosters a sense of peace that transcends fear (1 John 5:13). This assurance is grounded in the certainty of salvation and the promise of eternal life, as given in Romans 8:38-39, which states that nothing can separate us from the love of God. Dying grace comes as a result of this assurance, allowing believers to face death without dread, as they can be confident of their impending transition into glory. Thus, assurance helps believers to embrace death as a welcomed passage into eternal communion with Christ.
