I'll try to be brief with a huge subject. The benefits God would provide are: life and love itself; the ability to love; resurrection after death to a home God created for me; a continued loving relationship with God; God's protection from various evils, inabilities or shortcomings of others that would otherwise result in my destruction, corruption, isolation, etc; reunion with family and friends; continuing to discover the nature of reality, God, maturing in love, knowledge and wisdom. My life long experiences, God, inward recognitions and numerous sources provide me understanding and faith in these things. Numerous sources describe God's character (I am the Lord who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness, for in these I delight.) (And we know & rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way love is made complete among us so that we may have confidence in the day of judgement.), and God/Yeshua's promises (I give eternal life to them, and they will never perish; and no one will snatch them out of My hand), and that God has the power to fulfill what God declares.
