why do Christians believe in life after death?

Answer 1

Because Jesus Christ rose from the dead.
May I add He totally changed my life from the inside out, at a time I was not expecting it and did not even know it was possible.

Answer 2

I am not religious, I follow no faith, but have experienced too much personally that points to an "afterlife" not to believe in it. Why do some religions believe in "nothing" why do some believe in "re-incarnation? Religion is about following a doctrine, faith is about following what you belive to be true. At the end of the day does it matter? If there is nothing you will know nothing, if there is something you will find it, better to live a good and loving life now than to ponder what may happen. Either way you are a longer time dead than you are living. lol.. Love is all you need!

Answer 3

Because God spoke of it, it gives a reason to live as a good person here on earth so that you can have the after life in heaven, death with out an after life scares people, why not have an after life?... on and on and on be blessed

Answer 4

I am not a member of any organized religion and I believe in life after death!

Answer 5

The Bible has an Authorship proven to be from the eternal perspective. It states clearly that there is life after death. Science has no hope for what occurs after life ceases. It has nothing on which to observe or test. Once a person dies, and is dead for a day or two--science, in all its knowledge, cannot bring them back for discovery for what lies beyond.

Jesus was dead for three days, and proved that He had the keys to death and the grave by raising Himself from the dead. He made clear what to expect in the afterlife. He provides free access to eternal life if you would just believe His report.

It seems as if science today is more concerned with discrediting the given evidence in order to hold on to its own lack of knowledge. And thus, those who hold to science for their religion, choose the dangerous road of "taking ones chances that the Bible is false" regarding the afterlife. A dangerous gamble indeed seeing eternity is in the balance.

Science is limited to the physical. Your soul is eternal. The Bible deals with what is eternal where science cannot venture. The physical realm will pass away, and science will pass away with it. What you want to do is latch onto that which will last forever, and that is the Word of God.

Answer 6

I believe in live after death because it is true.

Answer 7

Egghead, I am more scared at the thought of life after death than just ceasing to exist.

Answer 8

Many religions do. I think it's because humans have a hard time comprehending that there is an end to their individual existence. I mean, it's certainly not an easy concept to swallow, and was one of the more difficult things for me as an atheist. Approaching one's own death, and that of loved ones, is much easier when you "know" there's an "other side".
