Christians go to be right with the Lord after death. They do not soul sleep. Saints in heaven are awaiting the resurrection of the dead. Those who are still alive will be caught up with them. Paul was ready to go be with the Lord but at the same time he wanted to stay on earth and fulfill his mission.

Q2. (Philippians 1:23-24; 2 Corinthians 5:8) According to these verses, where will Christians be immediately after death?

ANSWER: Everything Scripture says about the death of believers indicates that they are immediately ushered consciously into the Lord's presence. When a Christian dies, he or she immediately enters the presence of the Lord. Some refer to this as an intermediate state because our final state is a bodily resurrection that happens following the second coming of Christ.

Where do we await the resurrection?

ANSWER: The instant we die, we go into heaven in our soul-state, and then we await the final consummation of the resurrection of our bodies. We're waiting for our bodies to be redeemed after we die physically and are then resurrected as Christ was. Or as someone put it: Our adoption is complete; we're just waiting for our father to come and pick us up so that we can be with Him.
