HOW DO YOU BECOME A CHRISTIAN?
There is life after death. The Question is what kind of life you are going to have after death? It either will be eternal life with Jesus in heaven of a life of suffering in hell with Satan. The bible says
Matt 7: 13-14 “Enter through the narrow gate for wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
