John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” This passage is the basis of Christianity.  It is written for all the world to read yet much of the world ignores its life saving truth.  You and I have heard many times—life is short, eternity is long.  Why would anyone ignore the future for the short pleasures of the present?  Believe.  Teach this wonderful truth to your children and grandchildren.
