Is there life after death?

What happens when we die?
What happens to us; a person, an individual when we die?

Have you ever thought about it?

Is there life after death? Is this life all there is?

And how do we really KNOW what happens after we die? I mean, all the different religions have their idea of life after death. Cults have their idea of life after death. Even Christianity is so mixed up at times. I get on facebook and read what some Christians put, and although I am no Bible scholar a lot of what they put I've yet to read in the Bible, where are all these "Christians" getting their idea of life after death? So who is right? Is there more than one right?

And where do I start to know?

My heart is truly that you come to know truth.

First, seek God. If you truly want to know the answer to these questions then God will truly reveal Himself because you see, He is the answer, the only answer to these questions.

Although God is speaking to the Israelites in these words they have long-reaching implications, because ultimately, God's eternal purpose is that we come to Him and He gives Himself to us.

The Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord drives you. There you will serve gods, the work of man’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see nor hear nor eat nor smell (false religions and cults). But from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him if you search for Him with all your heart and all your soul. When you are in distress and all these things have come upon you, in the latter days you will return to the Lord your God and listen to His voice. For the Lord your God is a compassionate God; He will not fail you nor destroy you nor forget the covenant with your fathers which He swore to them.- Deuteronomy 4:27-31

And these words from once a religious fanatic, even to the point of murdering Christians to one deeply in love with the One True God:

So Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, “Men of Athens, I observe that you are very religious in all respects. For while I was passing through and examining the objects of your worship, I also found an altar with this inscription, ‘TO AN UNKNOWN GOD.’ Therefore what you worship in ignorance, this I proclaim to you. The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things; and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation, that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, ‘For we also are His children.’ Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man. Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent, because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead.”- Acts 17:22-31
