John 10:11 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it in all its fullness. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd Lys down His life for the sheep. Hebrews 11:25 Therefore He is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through Him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf. For if, when we were enemies of God, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life! ~ Romans 5:10 Everybody is called to pray.
