Death, Christian

Death, Christian – At physical death, the believer's soul and spirit separate from the human body to the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ (2 Cor 5:8). For the believer death involves a promotion (Phil 1:21,23); being face to face with the Lord (2 Cor 5:8); a new home (John 14:1-6); eternal life (John 11:25; 20:31; 1 John 5:11-12); and an eternal inheritance (1 Pet 1:4-5); Moreover, death for the believer does not involve condemnation or judgment (Rom 8:1); or more death, sorrow, crying, or pain (Rev 21:4). {83C3D5}
