Do you believe with a surety in God?

Luke 1:1-4 (KJV)
1 Forasmuch as many have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which are most surely believed among us,
2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which from the beginning were eyewitnesses, and ministers of the word;
3 It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
4 That thou mightest know the certainty of those things, wherein thou hast been instructed.
I have used bold text for the parts that I want to write about.
There are many things that I believe such as: the world is round; my car will start and the lights will come on each time I flip the switch. However, I had enough times happen when the car did not start or the lights did not come on, and I have never personally seen the earth from space so I cannot know with a certainty that the car will start, that the lights will come on or that the earth is round.
Some of the things that I know most surely and for a certainty is that Jesus volunteered to come to the earth and that he volunteered to go to the cross to die a horrible death for us.
Since I have given Him control of my life things have gone better for me than they would have otherwise. I know this for a fact, because every time I have made a choice of what to do without asking God. . . . it never turns out the way I thought it would/should. Nevertheless, when I go according to God’s will for me though it may be scary or rough or sad, it does come out very well. Thus, I know with a surety or certainty that God’s way is the best way.
So, when you are facing something new or scary or hard, be sure to find out what God wants you to do and when you do it God’s way it will always turn out better than if you had tried it on your own.
Remember, when we follow God’s will in our lives it is better and the more that we do this, the easier it is to know what God would want us to do. Which means that we will have a “certainty of those things.”
