What Man Ought to Believe Concerning God
What benefits do believers receive from Christ at their death?
Answer
The souls of believers are at their death made perfect in holiness (Hebrews 12:23), and do immediately pass into glory (2 Corinthians 5:1,6,8; Philippians 1:23; Luke 23:43); and their bodies being still united to Christ (1 Thessalonians 4:14), do rest in their graves (Isaiah 57:2) till the resurrection (Job 19:26-27).
