I think it a matter on faith actually. When we accepted Jesus Christ as our personal savior, we became saved.

Some might say this is all just metaphor, metaphor has reason. The point is of releasing fear to have an awake, joyful expectation and experience.

Now when looked at, "Saved from what?", we see that God had bought us back from Satan. When Adam broke the only rule Satan won in showing God if given free will his creation would choose to disobey.

The stakes were high, the winning pot everything that God gave to Adam and Eve including all descendants. Everything!

So God eventually could not stand to see his children suffer anymore and came personified as Jesus with the mission to take on all of humanities sins forever if they accept it.

We accepted it but we must believe it so. We need to feel that when that bottle of living water was passed to us by Jesus we took it and said thank you.

God loves us more than we could ever imagine....

with the way our society and other cultures live and breathe, it is very normal to have doubts about Life after Death

 I was raised as an atheist so I have a little different perspective on this subject.  We were taught as children that we had no soul, only a stream of consciousness.  I could never understand how people could be so presumptuous as to believe they would have eternal life.  As a child I was afraid of death, and would wish there could be a god to protect me. I am thankful that I didn't crater and fall into blind belief based on fear.  All religions seem to me equally as superstitious as the ones where they read the chicken bones. My problem has always been to try to understand why it could be normal to believe that there could be life after death.  I think you will never truly be free till you let go of these life after death superstitions.

O Men of little faith why do you doubt?Why do you not thread on your own Water with the light of truth of the spirit made in the image of the holy father.

Even peter doubt,peter as deny the lord 3 times before the roaster crowed 3 times.

Do not expect, therefore, the carnal resurrection, which is destruction; and they are not stripped of it (the flesh) who err in expecting a resurrection that is empty. They do not know the power of God, nor do they understand the interpretation of the scriptures, on account of their double-mindedness. The mystery which the Son of Man spoke about

I am he that have spoken this things to you.

Life after death is a belief, some people believe it's true other people don't ... the very fact that you ask this question is that you are doubting your own beliefs, in your own reality only you can answer this question for yourself. I would simply say that we live in a world of belief, nothing has any importance except the importance that we give it ... i consider that when we go to sleep at night we enter into the dream dimension, our sensations of the physical world become dimmed and distorted and we experience what it could be like when our presence is no longer manifest in the physical dimension.
