Why should Christians not fear death?

Christians are called to face death without fear, as Hebrews 2:15 explains that Christ delivered us from the fear of death. Death is viewed not as an end but as a transition; the body may die, but the soul is taken to be with the Lord (Philippians 1:21). The assurance that death has been defeated through Christ's resurrection allows believers to face their mortality with hope. They are reminded that what awaited them is an eternal, joyous existence with Christ devoid of sin and suffering, which brings comfort amidst the fear of death.
