"The Lord is not slow about His promise,

as some count slowness, but is patient

toward you, not wishing for any to parish

but for all to come to repentance"

(2 Peter 3:9 NASB)

manthano: About me! It really does not matter. But what does matter is that there is a God in heaven above. He created this world and gives us life and our breath. But we have ignored him. We have gone our own way and done our own thing. This is called sin. God said, "everyone has sinned and is far away from God's saving presence." (3:23) And, "For sin pays its wage - death; but God's free gift is eternal life in union with Christ Jesus our Lord." (6:23) [That is the death of the soul - the real you. Thrown into the Devil's hell forever. But his gift is life forever with him in heaven.] So, "If you confess that Jesus is Lord and believe that God raised him from death, you will be saved....As the scripture says,'Everyone who calls out to the Lord for help will be saved.'" (10:9,13) God loves you enough that he came to earth and died for you. Turn to him and accept his gift of love for you. The quotations are from the Holy Bible, book of Romans, Good News Bible version.
