Q.85. Given that death is the wages of sin, why are the righteous not delivered from death, since all their sins are forgiven in Christ?

A. At the last day, the righteous will be delivered from death itself. In the meantime, even when they die, they are delivered from the sting and curse of death,[1] and God’s love[2] completely frees them from sin and misery,[3] enabling them to have a deeper communion with Christ when they enter into his glory after death.[4]
