Rom. 8:37-39 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Jn. 3:16-17 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. Each man thought that his…
