“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:14 First Peter 1:4 declares that all believers have an inheritance reserved for them in heaven, an inheritance that is incorruptible, undefiled and that does not fade away. For many, the thought is that we will not […]
