Some people believe in reincarnation. How can I know who is right?

The Bible teaches very clearly that we have but one life. Hebrews 9:27 says, "Man is destined to die once, and after that face judgment." We have one life, one death and then final judgment. There are no second chances, no do-overs in the scheme of life.

If a person is not ready to meet the Lord, then surely he would like to believe that he will get to keep trying until he gets it right. But, the Bible says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23). 2 Peter 3:9b says, "He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance." So, until death, it is not too late to turn to the Lord. First John 1:9 says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to cleanse us and purify us from all unrighteousness."
