based on 34 ratings

| 7,546 views

There is no substitute for salvation through faith in Christ. There is no substitute for those who clearly teach such truth!

While many poeple may feel uncertain of what will happen to them when their life comes to an end, God wants us to know exactly what to expect. These words from 1 Thessalonians bring confidence and comfort to the Christian in the face of death.

And we like to have answers because it makes us feel more in control, more secure, more prepared. That’s probably one of the reasons that doctors ...read more
