Here is the thing most believers were never taught: death, in the Bible, is not extinction. It never means you stop existing. From cover to cover, death means separation.
"O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ."
"Our Savior Christ Jesus, Who annulled death and made it of no effect and brought life and immortality (immunity from eternal death) to light through the Gospel."
"For I am persuaded beyond doubt (am sure) that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities, nor things impending and threatening nor things to come, nor powers, Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
The Bible never once defines death as the end of your existence. Never. From Genesis to Revelation, death means one thing: separation from God. And because of what Jesus finished at the cross, that separation is broken. Which means a child of God, in the true biblical sense, does not have to die.
Every time the New Testament promises you eternal life, the word is Zoe. Not bios stretched forever. Not a long ride with the same battery. God's own life, in you, right now. Eternal life is not a reward you pick up after you die. It is a present possession.

Christians experience biological departure, but they do not experience biblical death. In Scripture, death means separation from God. Because nothing can separate a believer from God (Romans 8:38-39), death has no jurisdiction over the child of God. The body may sleep until the resurrection, but the spirit and soul never taste separation from the Father.
The Greek word for sting is kentron - the lethal barb of a scorpion or viper. Paul says death carried a sting, and that venom was sin, backed by the law. At Calvary, Jesus paid the full penalty for sin and extracted the sting. Death has lost its power to accuse, punish, or condemn the believer.
Hebrews 9:27 describes the fallen Adamic condition. But the next verse says Christ already bore the judgment. For the believer, physical departure is stripped of condemnation. It is not entering death; it is stepping into the unveiled presence of Christ (Philippians 1:21-23; 2 Corinthians 5:8).
Eternal life is not unending chronological time. It is the uncreated life of God Himself - Zoe (ζωή) - distinguished from mere biological life (Bios). John 5:24 says the believer has already passed from death to life. It is a present possession, not a future reward.
