Chris
The Anger of God will surely come upon all people who disobey Him unless they repent whilst living on this Earth. Surely Eternity is for those people whose lives are washed by the Blood of Jesus Christ and who love Him and endeavour to obey Him. To obey the Lord is an important part of our Christian life. It is our Light shining in a dark world.
