Why is dying considered gain for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

For Christians, dying is gain because it leads to eternal life with Christ (Philippians 1:21).

The Christian perspective on death is uniquely hopeful, viewing it as a transition to a far greater existence with Christ. Philippians 1:21 states, 'For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.' This encapsulates the believer's conviction that life on earth, filled with struggles, pales in comparison to the eternal glorification awaited. Death is not an end but a fulfillment of God's promise, bringing the faithful into the presence of their Savior. This belief cultivates a sense of peace and purpose in the journey of life, propelling Christians to persevere through challenges with the hope of eternal joy.
