"These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him. Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see."
John 9:22-25

Many people have asked me, "How do you know for sure that Jesus Loves you and cares about you?  How do you know for sure that when you die you will be with Jesus for Eternity?"

I join with the blind man and say, "One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see".  I have always been able to see with my eyes, but I was blind for so many years in my heart.  I hated every person and didn’t trust anyone.  I had no desire to live because I never saw any love being demonstrated to anyone.

I can’t explain how I know these things in my heart to satisfy the doubting person.  However, if you are really seeking to know Jesus, then I can tell you that once you give your heart and life completely to Jesus, you will know and never doubt again.

I know that Jesus Loves me.  He does not turn His Love for us off and on like we do for our family and friends.  Even when we hurt Him, and all of us hurt Him in some way every day of our life, He still Loves us and is waiting with open Arms and a longing Heart for us to return to Him.  Do you know for sure that you are going to Heaven?
