People find it hard to imagine what the existence of God would even be like with respect to the existence of people, but that hasn’t stopped philosophers from trying.
C. S. Lewis called it an “eternal now.” IMHO this seems to tie in well with God’s biblical title as “I am.”
The biblical philosophical treatment is sparse. “In Adam all sinned.” The consequences aren’t so sparse.
Anyhow, a lot of people vastly underestimate the divine hope that undergirds their creation. If we were only expected to putter around a bit on earth till we die, and manage not to do something so extravagant as to put ourselves in danger till we die safely, then anything else seems foolish, an excess, a pointless extravagance. But it’s the people who defy such a view whom we will be looking at in retrospect and say “Wow! What a ride.” It’s in relationship to THAT that we are right to evaluate how wretched we are. And that’s pretty jolly wretched. Afraid to do anything but die safely.
