God so loved the World,
that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believes in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life. - John 3:16
Beloved,
True peace and rest for the soul come from the Lord Jesus Christ and from knowing Him. It is when we know Him that we may call upon His name in the day of trouble and expect Him to hear us. God promises strength and help for those who are His children, those who belong to Him.
How can you become a child of God and know Him personally? How can you know you will be with God throughout all eternity?
