Why is the death of a believer considered a gain?

Answered in 1 source

The death of a believer is considered gain because it signifies the transition to eternal life with Christ (Philippians 1:21).

According to Philippians 1:21, the Apostle Paul famously states, 'For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.' This notion of death as gain for believers stems from the understanding that death represents the end of earthly struggles and the beginning of eternal fellowship with Christ. When a believer dies, it is not simply an end but a significant entry into a fuller, richer existence beyond the constraints of this world. They gain an immortal body, escape from sin, and enter into the eternal presence and joy of God, which embodies the ultimate fulfillment of their hope and faith.
