The Source- Truth 2 Die By
Most of us won't be visited by an angel. We won't see Jesus until after death. Are you ready for that? We need a source of truth that is so reliable that we can not only live by it but die by it as well. Many have died for a wrong cause because they were led astray. What a waste!
The Bible is the most unique book ever created. In it are some amazing claims. In the book of 2 Timothy, Chapter 3 and verse 16 the Bible records-

All scripture is given by the inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness...
The emphasis here is that every writer of these books was inspired by God to do so. That's quit a claim! Look at 2 Peter 1:20-21 (NET translation).
Above all, you do well if you recognize this: No prophecy of scripture ever comes about by the prophet's own imagination, for no prophecy was ever borne of human impulse; rather, men carried along by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
Again, this concept that God directed the writing of scripture is radical. It should make us pause and ask "What if it is true?" Hopefully, you've finished the article "Outrage..." showing how many people saw Jesus alive after He had been dead. But taking a step back from what is in the Bible itself- do you realize that the Bible was written over a span of 1600 years by 40 authors in three languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek), on hundreds of subjects? And yet the primary theme that runs through it all: God's planned redemption of humankind, remains consistent.
If you want to dig deeper and check out the reliability of scripture- do so! Look at the available manuscripts compared to any other classical literature and the rules to judge them by. The Bible is far above them all. There are outside sources that also provide collaboration.
Check out archaeology and see how many times the Bible has been proven right in the face of skeptics. Look into the astounding prophesies of the Bible. This area in itself has led many to believe that God has put his stamp on the Bible writings.
You can be pretty certain of taxes. You can be 100% certain of death. The Bible is reliable and trustworthy. It is a clear road-map for the steps required to be reunited with God. You have to make the choice to follow the map now- after you die it will be too late.
You probably have a Bible sitting around the house. If not, we are blessed in the USA to have them at stores everywhere, in libraries and even online. Just do it.
