I’m not following you exactly…please elaborate.
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God (1 Peter 3:18)
OK. . . what it like being with God?
At your right hand are pleasures forevermore. (Psalm 16:11)
Amazing.
The beginning of the greatest letter ever written:
Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ,
To all those in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 1:1–7
“I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.” —The Apostle
The Christian Gospel is news, but it is not new news.
"The Father incomprehensible, the Son incomprehensible, and the Holy Spirit incomprehensible. The Father eternal, the Son eternal, and the Holy Spirit eternal. And yet they are not three eternals but one eternal. As also there are not three uncreated nor three incomprehensible, but one uncreated and one incomprehensible. So likewise the Father is almighty, the Son almighty, and the Holy Spirit almighty. And yet they are not three almighties, but one almighty." -- ATHANASIAN CREED
The incarnate Son is the image of the invisible God (Col. 1:15), the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature (Heb. 1:2), and the one in whom we see the Father (John 14:9–10).
“Ask the universe, the adornment of the heavens, the brilliance and arrangement of the stars, the sun, the sufficiency of the day, the moon, the solace of the night. Ask the Earth, bearing fruit in herbs and trees, filled with animals, adorned with men. Ask the sea, full of such great and varied aquatic creatures! Ask the air, flourishing with such great flying creatures! Ask all things if they do not, in their own sense, as it were respond to you, ‘God made us!’”
Augustine

God speaks through His Word. The Bible is unparalleled. Supreme. Perfect. Without contradiction. Better than gold. Sweeter than honey.
When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.” And they went with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. (Luke 2:15–16)
