Please everyone, come to Jesus Christ. If you follow God and do his will and put your faith in Jesus Christ, you can be saved and have everlasting life with God in Heaven. God is good and loving and although we sin and have problems in life, if we come to him, he can give us new life and if we follow him, new eternal life. There are a lot of hardships and evil in the world, But if we come to God and repent and are baptized and do his will,he can protect us and save us and give us more than we could ever ask for. He is good and to those who truly seek him, he can be found and he can give us better than we would have ever had otherwise. May God bless you and keep you and lead you in the truth!🙂
