Christ’s love-driven gift completely released us from the stains and chains of our sin, making us forgiven and right before God, acceptable to see Him and to enter His kingdom.

You must no longer get your orientation and perspective from this world. What a limited view! But listen and commune with heaven constantly through unceasing prayer, even as you live for a little while longer on this earth.
