They Ate and Were Satisfied

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son.” This well-known and beautiful verse from the Gospel of John reveals the deep love the Father has for us. God gave us life and a beautiful world to live in, but we turned away from Him. Yet instead of abandoning us, He chose […]

Eternal Life

But Jesus assures us that it’s not. In Matthew 25:46, He says, “And these will go off to eternal punishment, but the […]
