follow me. For whoever wants to save his life

will find it. What good will it be for a man if
he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?
Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul?

1 John 31-5 How great is the love the Father has
lavished on us, that we should be called children
of God! And that is what we are! The reason the
world does not know us is that it did not know
him. Dear friends, now we are children of God,
and what we will be has not yet been made known.
But we know that when he appears, we shall be
like him, for we shall see him as he is.

Creator.
