For a good example of what is necessary to feel certain of your future and your standing with God upon your death, read Acts 8:26-40. The eunich did not have the completed Bible, the entire Word of God, so he needed Phillip to explain to him about Jesus and what he needed to do to be saved. We have God's Word, and we can read it for ourselves. We have Acts 8 and other scriptures to refer to. We are so blessed that the way of salvation has been given to us, and that we live in a society with the freedom to read and study. Bibles are available to us everywhere, even at Walmart, so we will have no excuse when we stand before the Lord someday.

Diana, explains it very well. When we die, it's all over. There is no more second chance, and if we have not lived as God wishes, we cannot say we did not know what we needed to do. There is a place of torment for those who have not lived as they should. It is my sincere prayer that we all travel the narrow road.
