I think a lot of people aren’t all that familiar with the Biblical view of life after death. As Christians we have fellowship and communication, through prayer and reading/ knowing the Bible, with God. Our hope (and Christian hope differs from the more common understanding) is that we will continue that relationship
in a sinless painless realm in the presence of God and all those inhabiting His Kingdom. All of this is based on what the Bible reaches and we believe to be true. It’s not about going somewhere else. It’s about spending our afterlife with God in a wonderful place vs the alternative.
