No human can convince you of this. Go to God in prayer. If you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you, and you will begin to feel his presence and develop a relationship with God.

Only God Himself can convince you of His truth. He makes it very obvious to us throughout His creation, that this is no cosmic accident, rather, it is a plan and a design by Him and for His glory. Many of the things we take for granted, are proof of Gods Divine fingerprints in the making up of the universe. Have you ever wondered how birds instinctively know to fly south in the winter? How bears know it is time to eat their fill because hybernation time is approaching?
How Salmon know to swim upstream during mating season?
How do we continue to breath when we are asleep and even more amazing, we do this from birth, from day one.
Next time you are in the bathroom, preparing to bathe, stop for a minute and stand in front of the mirror and look at your body, your eyes and ears, your nose and mouth, all your teeth and the tongue with which you speak, your arms and legs, your stomach, now think of all the internal workings of your body, all the arteries, muscles, skeletal structure, brain and central nervous system, What about your mind, what about thought and dreams and emotions? How about the miracle of birth? Could all these things exist because of a cosmic accident? Now look into space and see all the planets rotating on their axis, revolving around the sun. What holds the sun in place? Why does it not move about like the planets? What about the electricity we use every day, yes, we can harness it and use it for our own purposes, but we cannot explain it or understand all about it.
Why is our planet earth so different from all the other planets?
God has made it very clear to us that He is the Creator, all we have to do is look around and use the mind He gave us to come to the right conclusion.
I would be happy to share more with you, feel free to e-mail me if you would like.
God Bless You....Peace.

Listen, if you have no faith at all, it all comes down to the most simple logic:
Say you dont know if when you die you will just die or go to heaven or hell. Wouldnt you rather be safe and believe? Because if you dont believe and there is a hell, your going there. But if you do believe and you do have faith in god then you may not go to hell, and if you do believe and there is nothing then well at least you tried to protect yourself.
So, basically, better safe then sorry.

Fear of Hell is perhaps the worst reason to believe in Heaven and God. There is no evidence of these phenomena.
