What are you sure of?
The Lausanne Movement is holding their once-per-decade meeting in Cape Town this year. As part of the run-up for the conference, they’ve partnered with Christianity Today to create a series of videos to go along with The Global Conversation initiative. Previous videos have explored global partnerships and the idea of following Jesus while still being a Muslim. This month they’re talking about truth and common ground.
In the following video, they ask people on the streets of Madison, WI a simple question: what in life are you completely sure of?

How would you answer that question? What in life are you completely sure of?
[HT: Out of Ur.]
I am sure that there is a God Who rules in the affairs of men and that His name is Jesus Christ. I am sure that Jesus Christ is the Savior and Lord of my life. I am sure that I will face Him in judgment and be received into eternal life with Him because of the grace and mercy He shows to all who call upon His name. I am sure that we are living in the last days before the coming of Jesus Christ for His own. I am sure that the Antichrist is alive and will assume power within the next few years. I am sure that some will think that I am “off” because of these statements–but I am sure that I am not.
In Him…
I am sure that Jesus Christ is my Lord, my King and my Brother. He is the author and finisher of my life and faith, and HE is the only way to my heavenly father who is the only God and creator of all. Only by following His example, with the guidance of the Holy Spirit can I overcome my sin nature.
By His death on the cross he has paid once and for all for all my sins. Nothing I have done, or ever will do could ever entitle me to the salvation God offers. It is purely by his freely given Grace I have received this eternal gift.
I am sure He will come back for his people. I am also sure that we must not turn our backs on and stop supporting his people Israel.
God be with you all.
The Will of God will never lead you where the Grace of God cannot keep you.
I’m sure of the things that had happen to me and my family is a very unique way of God teaching to each one of us that without his love we can never be complete.
Running away from his presence is impossible and jesus christ always very time send out someone to help guide us.
I’m definitely sure of he is the most loving and his grace are amazing
Is it even possible to answer this question? This question is hard to answer on so many levels and no one really came close to giving an answer. It is definitely a great conversation starter. It was interesting to see how all the answers became wishes, beliefs, hopes… I guess we can speculate no one is sure of anything.
