The Words of Christ Jesus More Valuable than Money
Nobody yet knows how the human mind is generated in the brain. Nobody yet knows how this universe was generated. Nobody especially knows how his fate is decided.
Without knowing what their minds are, people often deny existence of the God, life after death, the spirit world, etc., thinking that the God is what is generated in the human mind although they do not fully understand what their minds are. It is as if he denies existence of his mind while using his mind. It is as if he denies his life while living.
So, it is reasonable to believe in the words of Christ Jesus who is the greatest and wisest man who has ever lived in the human world. The culture and civilization of the mankind in these 2000 years are owed to His teaching and His influence on the human history. If you cannot be sure about anything important, you had better listen to the the greatest and wisest man.
The most important teaching of Christ Jesus is: I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (John 11).
In this context, life after death is real and true. Even 400 years before Christ Jesus, Socrates and Plato presented their idea on death: Death, however, is a rite of purification from the "infection" of the body. As the philosopher practices death his entire life, he should greet it amicably and not be discouraged upon its arrival, for, since the universe the Gods created for us in life is essentially "good," why would death be anything but a continuation of this goodness? Death is a place where better and wiser Gods rule and where the most noble souls exist: "And therefore, so far as that is concerned, I not only do not grieve, but I have great hopes that there is something in store for the dead ..., something better for the good than for the wicked."(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phaedo)

John 5, King James Version
22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
