Why is faith important for Christians at the time of death?

Answered in 1 source

Faith is crucial for Christians as it assures them of eternal life and peace during death.

Faith serves as the foundation for a believer's hope and peace, especially at the time of death. As seen in 2 Corinthians 5:8, Paul expresses confidence in being absent from the body and present with the Lord. This indicates that believers do not need to fear death, as their faith promises them eternal life with Christ. Furthermore, Hebrews 11:1 describes faith as the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen, which provides comfort and assurance during the transition from this life to the next. Without faith, one faces death unprepared, lacking the assurance of salvation that comes from knowing Christ.
