The Bible actually says very little about the afterlife. Some of the things it does say are as follows:
1. The afterlife is eternal. (Mt 25:46)
2. If we are faithful Christians who believe that Christ's atonement for our sin is the only reason we are saved, we will be with God for eternity. (Doing good deeds has no bearing on being saved or not. Yes, good deeds are wonderful and the Bible says, "Faith without works is dead." (James 2:17) However, we are saved by God's grace alone. (Acts 15:11; Eph 2:5; 2:8; 2 Tim 1:9)
3. The afterlife is likened to paradise. (Luke 23:43)
4. Hell is eternal separation from God. (Mt 25:41-46)

∙ 7y agoBeliefs change over the centuries, even within Judaism and Christianity. Ecclesiastes 9:5-6 tells us: For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten. Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

Why is the afterlife important?
The existence of an afterlife is important to those who believe in such things as that as, if the y reach the "good" afterlife it will confirm that they were right all their life. Most believers in an afterlife do not give much thought to what happens if they were wrong.To believers in many non Abrahamic faiths do not see the afterlife in the same manner as the typical western their. It becomes, for Buddhists as a an example, a loss of personal identity and a merging with a selfless whole. This loss of desire and identity is seen as a desirable state/ For atheists and apatagnostics there is no concern with an afterlife even if it exists. SO it is not important.
