Why is the day of death better than the day of birth for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

The day of death brings believers into eternal glory, freeing them from sin and suffering.

In Ecclesiastes 7:1, we learn that the day of one's death is better than the day of their birth, particularly for believers. This perspective is rooted in the understanding that birth introduces one into a sinful and troubled world, while death signifies the end of suffering and sin. Isaiah 57:1 affirms this, indicating that the righteous are taken away from evil. For believers, the day of death marks the transition into the presence of Christ, where they will experience eternal joy and peace, far surpassing the trials of earthly life.
