If you were to die today? Do you know where you will be? Even if you do know, are you sure about it?
Questions we generally get…
- Is it true that am I going to receive eternal life, after I die?
- What is to be done to be saved?
Like wise there are so many questions for which we don’t have any answer.
Are you sure you will go to Heaven when you die ?
Is there a clear answer?
Do you really not know about what you already have and what will you receive?
