    Contributed by Antonius Fu on May 8, 2023
     | 2,182 views

    By God's grace, we receive the faith to believe in Him. And by His protection, when our faith is tested, it produces the purity of life. A life with a new quality, a life into a living hope and an inheritance kept for us in Heaven, this is a new life that is more precious than gold.
