According to Christianity we have not one life, but two. We are given the chance to form our character on earth by commanding a mortal body, and our decisions while restricted to this form will shape who we are forever. Once the body has died the immortal soul is freed.
The reason Christians believe this are manifold. Suffice it to say that they boil down to: Because God told us; and because we are clearly strangers in this world.
Christians believe in life after death because the God we worship has promised us that if we believe in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ we will receive eternal life ( John 3:16, " For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life".

∙ 11y agoAs with most things I answer very simply yet very honestly. Christians believe that first that there is a physical death and a spiritual death. The soul or spirit of a person who is saved goes to God and the soul of one who is not goes to hell or what we have come to term hell. After all is said and done on the Great Day of the Lord, all will give an account of themselves to God. Those who are written in the Book of Life, those who are saved with ever be with the Lord and those who aren't saved will be cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. The first death is the death of the body.

∙ 8y agoThe longing for immortality is a universal condition. Since we clearly can not live forever in the flesh, most advanced religions hold out hope for immortality in the spirit. Christians believe that they will go to a place or state of paradise, known as heaven. This is a Christian teaching and therefore Christians should believe in eternal life.
