Your Mistakes are not your Identity

Always remember that you are still learning,…

Day 482 – John 3:36
Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them. John 3:36, NIV Jesus alone can give us a chance to experience eternal life. It’s His sacrifice on the cross that opened the doors of heaven.

We will never experience what true life is because even here on earth, we will be given a chance to experience the Holy Spirit as long as we receive Him as our Savior. Whoever rejects…
