Is it better to live or to die?
The righteous who are saved by the grace of God is better to die than to live.
The reason is because for to them to live is Christ and to die is gain.
The reason is because they desire to depart and be with Christ which is better by far (Phil. 1:21-23).
However, the wicked who have not yet been saved are better off living than dying.
The reason is because it is better for them to be physically alive than to die forever
So that they may receive the grace of God’s salvation and have eternal life (1 Tim. 2:4).
