- Our sins prevent us from going to heaven to live forever, but God has made a way for our sins to be erased.
- 00:10
- If you become a follower of Jesus, He will save you from the penalty of your spiritual crimes. So how does a person become a disciple of Jesus?
- 00:18
- First, you must believe in God. The Bible says that anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek
