If someone asked you this question, how would you answer it?
"Is it possible for someone to be 100% sure about what happens to them after they physically die?"
I recently took a trip to Kansas City, and on the plane ride back to Atlanta airport, I asked the man sitting next to me this same question. This is how he answered, "I think when you die, that's it. You die and become dirt." I then asked him, "Does that ever make you sad? Ya know, to think that you only live for roughly 40-80+ years and then that's it!" He looked down at his bag of peanuts and then said, "Well, yeah, I guess. What do you think happens?" For the next hour, we began to talk about our lives, our families and our religious backgrounds. It turns out that this man had a history of bad experiences in the Protestant church. His mom was very "religious," with a background in a charismatic church and she had fervently tried to get her son to adopt her faith. His father, who died several years ago after serving 31 years in the U.S. Air Force, had been raised Catholic but he had never really attended Church for most of his life.
As we were finishing our peanuts and soda, I pulled out my Bible and began to share some Scriptures with him. I explained how I based my beliefs on what information the Bible gave concerning "on the other side," after earthly death. I gave him some information to read and he thanked me with a big smile.
By the end of the conversation, as our ears were filling up from the cabin pressure, he said to me, "I really need to figure out what I believe, and why I believe it. I guess the idea of where I'm going to spend eternity is the most important thing I'll ever figure out in the short time I'm here on earth. I want to be able to tell my sons what I believe too. I think I'll try Church again too."

The Bible says this, "For GOD loved the world in this way: HE gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life." -John 3:16

Do you know what you believe? Do you know the "why" behind what you believe? What truths or proof do you base your beliefs upon?
