Amen. 1 Tim. 6:13-16

This is why the resurrection of Jesus was called "the good news" or gospel. Because there is hope of life after death.
Proof texting and heresy. The passage must be put into context...
I Timothy 6:11-16 (ESV)
11 But as for you, O man of God, flee these things. Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who in his testimony before[d] Pontius Pilate made the good confession, 14 to keep the commandment unstained and free from reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which he will display at the proper time—he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.
The subject is the risen Christ (who is also God). He alone is no longer subject to death. Why? Because He is risen from the dead. This has nothing to do with the afterlife.
