The focus of Christians, as the name implies, is on Christ himself. His character, his story, that is what appeals to the Christian. Jesus is what makes heaven appealing to the Christian.
You'll never meet a Christian that says they're a Christian because they fear death, that is a caricature found within atheist circles.
Sure, they won't admit that as a reason. But there's a reason why accepting the redemption of Christ is the key to everlasting heavenly life. The everlasting heavenly life is the honey.
How you can assert that no Christian feels the fear of death, that's beyond my ken. I barely know 200 people.
