IF we live life without GOD we have wasted the greatest opportunity to be saved and sealed in Christ eternally.
IF we reject the FREE GIFT of GOD we have no hope for eternity but we will be thrown in THE LAKE OF FIRE with the DEVIL and his fallen angels and all the lost souls of all ages.
BUT GOD IS GRACIOUS and MERCIFUL and HE IS CALLING ALL MEN TO RECEIVE HIS FREE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE!
​Once you understand how VAIN and LOST YOU ARE and BELIEVE and RECEIVE THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST,GOD will save you and seal you eternally and you will go to be eternally in HEAVENLY PLACES with CHRIST.
