Spiritually speaking, each and every one of us was under a death sentence without Jesus. Not physical death, mind you, but the deserved promise to spend eternity apart from God. A place of eternal punishment. But, Christ has changed our eternal destiny - that death sentence has been ended and we now have a sentence to life eternal, which begins the moment we accept Jesus as our Savior. ...  Read More
