One of the greetings that I get occasionally is, “What do you know for sure?” If it were more than a greeting, and was a genuine question with interest I could list a lot of things that I know for sure. If someone asked me today I would respond, “I know it is hot!”

When I am talking to people about faith in Jesus, I will often start with the question, “If you died tonight, do you know for sure, without a doubt, that you would go to heaven and not hell?” Most people don’t give me a straight-up “yes or no” answer, just around the bush, not sure what to say, fuzzy talk. Sometimes, depending on if I perceive any interest, I will follow up with, “I know for sure that I am going to heaven when I die; I could share with you how you could know for sure as well if you wanted.”

Ecclesiastes 3:11 God has also set eternity in their heart,

That verse means that all people know for sure that when they die, they don’t just turn into dirt; something in them lives on in consciousness. But because they don’t know anything else beyond that for sure, it is easier to say that beyond death, there is nothing.

Romans 1:19-20 because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse.

The fact that there is a God is evident inside us; God puts the awareness that there is a God in every person; we know for sure that there is a God, an intelligent creator, but many ignore that evidence and even deny it.

Because I know for sure, without a doubt, that I will live beyond death, and because I know for sure without a doubt that there is a God, if I didn’t know what happened to me after I died, I would diligently seek for an answer. I don’t know how people can live in that state of limbo, not knowing for sure what their eternal destiny is and where they will live, especially in light of how hot it was today!
