It's a construct of a reward/punishment system that has been keeping people both scared of not obeying church law and when they are obeying confident they'll be rewarded. It's like saying I'll spank you for being bad but you get a lolly for being good, except the spank lasts forever and the lolly is everlasting. It's rubbish.
There is an interesting concept that this is Hell and when we die we go somewhere better. It is interesting that though the concept of Heaven has been with us for thousands of years it is the christian concept of it that we think of when anyone mentions the word Heaven.
