Most people belief in another life. Unfortunately, they err if they believe they will return as another creature. The Bible clearly states that we only get this one life here on earth and then after that comes the judgement. We will come before Jesus and He will say "...Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord," as a lord tells his servant in the parable of the "Talents" (Matthew 25:23). Or He may say "...Verily I say unto you, I know you not," as the groom says to the virgins who were not prepared in the parable of the "Ten Virgins". (Matthew 25:12)

The "More Than Good News" (what Gospel means), is that the Lord desires to give you an afterlife. This is life eternal and life with Him. When we come before the Lord, there is only one thing that will determine what He will say to us. And that is if we believed in Jesus and what He taught. When the jailer asked Paul what he had to do to be saved, Paul and Silas answered, "And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." (Acts 16:31)
