Most people answer, "I think so. Or I hope so!" But did you know there's a way to know for sure?
Most people answer, "Because I've been a good person." But did you know that heaven isn't about being 51% good vs. bad. It requires 100% perfection. Uh oh. That's a problem.
Most people answer, "He probably thinks that I mess up sometimes, but I'm trying." That's probably true. But did you also know that God loves you a lot, and he really wants you to have a great life? Yep, it's true. See John 10:10
Most people answer, "An old, strong guy on a throne who's mad a lot." God does hate sin, but looks at you with great compassion. His great desire is that no one would be lost.
Most people answer, "I'm not sure, but I haven't murdered anyone!" Good job! Except Jesus said, "If you have ever hated someone, you have murdered them in your heart." So it's not looking very good for the other nine, we're guessing.
People say a lot of things, "A great teacher." "A prophet." "A nut." "A mythical character people made up." In fact, there is plenty of historical evidence about Jesus and lots of other evidence about what he did while he was here.
If you're seriously questioning belief in Jesus and his miracles, consider picking up "The Case for Christ" by Lee Strobel, or "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis. Both were staunch atheists. By the way, the Apostle Paul (an extremely religious deist) was tracking down Christians and murdering them before he became a believer. You're in good company if you're skeptical or even hostile toward Christ. You could make a great apostle of Jesus Christ!
