Why is faith in Christ essential at the time of death?

Answered in 1 source

Faith in Christ is essential as it is the sole means by which we can face death with assurance of salvation.

At the moment of death, the only thing that truly matters is one's faith in Christ. The preacher highlights that in the hour of death, questions arise not about wealth or status, but rather about whether Jesus Christ is our Savior. As expressed in Ephesians 2:8-9, it is by grace through faith that we are saved. This faith provides the assurance that believers will hear, 'Well done, good and faithful servant' (Matthew 25:21). Thus, trusting in Jesus as our mediator and sacrifice allows us to confront death with confidence, knowing that we are accepted by God through Him.
