WHAT DOES ALL OF
THIS MEAN?

While listening to accounts of near-death experiences is fascinating, you might be wondering how to interpret what it means.

Why did Heidi, a Jewish girl, immediately meet, and embrace Jesus? Why did Paul go straight to “hell” after his cocaine overdose? Is what happens after we die based on good deeds versus bad deeds as so many religions teach?

Is what happens after we die based on good deeds versus bad deeds?

Maybe you’re wondering why people of different faiths, or people who had completely rejected religion, like avowed atheist Howard Storm, meet God or Jesus and describe Him so similarly? More intriguing, why don’t people see the God they’ve been taught to believe in, such as Shiva?

How can we make sense of these after-death stories?

WHAT DOES SCRIPTURE SAY?

The first thing to note is that every person who reported meeting God and walking in a heaven-like place describe a God of light and love who reveals all things–good and bad. They describe a place of incomprehensible beauty, peace and acceptance. They describe having perfect sensory abilities and meeting family and friends who passed away earlier.

It might be helpful to know exactly what the Bible has to say about life after death.

These observations are made by people around the globe, those with a prior belief in Jesus, and those with no religious affiliation at all. These is another place where all of these same things have been reported and described in similar detail: in the Bible. If NDErs are validating claims in the Bible, it might be helpful to know exactly what it has to say about life after death, right?

SO, WHAT’S NEXT?

As you explore this site, you’ll see compelling evidence for life after this life. NDErs have accurately described details about things happening around their dead bodies and details about their resuscitation. So, could they also be accurately reporting details from another dimension—details about “heaven” or “hell”?

Perhaps you have had a bad experience with “religion” or didn’t get much out of it if you’ve belonged to a church in the past. Maybe you know people who profess to be religious but are not accepting or loving of others.

We’re not suggesting that you put your faith or trust in anyone but God. We are all broken people, incapable of sharing the overwhelming love NDErs described feeling. But there is something hopeful we can learn from what NDErs report. Despite all of our flaws and brokenness, God loves us!

A lot of people have a hard time believing God loves us.

A lot of people have a hard time believing this but NDErs confirm it. Whether they were followers of Jesus or atheists, they all felt unconditional love from something or someone they identified as God. Experiencing this kind of love was so powerful that upon returning to life, most NDErs dramatically altered their lives.

What they experienced was powerful enough to change their minds and their hearts.

What they experienced in those after life moments was powerful enough to change their minds and their hearts. They all concluded the same thing, they want to live for Him now, to know Him, to see, Him, to be with Him again someday. They know where they want to be for all eternity and who they want to be with.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

If knowing God is the way to gain access to a place of total acceptance, unconditional love, complete peace, and eternal life, we encourage you to seek a personal relationship with Him. The first step is to simply start talking to Him. It’s called prayer, but it’s really just reaching out and verbalizing your desire to understand and to experience His kind of love. There are no magic words to recite. All that is needed is a heart-felt desire to know Him. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you personally and start cultivating the relationship of this lifetime that will take you into eternity.

If you’ve got questions (and we bet you do), there are lots of people in Austin you can talk to who have also met Jesus and have had a personal encounter with the living God—without having a near-death experience.

Yes, millions of people know Jesus personally and intimately because they have chosen to surrender their lives to Him and follow the guidance that only God can give to a person on the path to eternity.

There are no magic words to recite. Simply start talking to Him.
