Yes. The Bible promises that those who die will awaken to new life.
“Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” (Ephesians 5:14)
“For the Lord himself will come down from heaven… and the dead in Christ will rise first.” (1 Thessalonians 4:16)
“Jesus said… ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me will live, even though they die.’” (John 11:25)
2. What will you see?
You may see the Lord and the gathering of His people.
“Behold, the Lord comes with ten thousands of his saints, to execute judgment…” (Jude 1:14-15)
“They will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.” (Mark 13:26)
“Your eyes will see the King in His beauty.” (Isaiah 33:17)
3. Will it be like dreaming?
The Bible compares resurrection to waking from sleep.
“Your dead shall live… Awake and sing, you who dwell in dust.” (Isaiah 26:19)
“Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake.” (Daniel 12:2)
“We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed.” (1 Corinthians 15:51)

Yes. The afterlife is described as a real, joyful existence.
“To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” (Revelation 2:7)
“He will wipe away every tear… There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.” (Revelation 21:4)
“Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.” (Hebrews 11:1)
5. Where will you be?
Believers will be at home with the Lord in heaven.
“We know that our body—the tent we live in here on earth—will be destroyed. But… God will have a home for us… in heaven that will continue forever.” (2 Corinthians 5:1-10)
“In my Father’s house are many rooms… I go to prepare a place for you.” (John 14:2-3)
“Today you will be with me in paradise.” (Luke 23:43)
