    Am I Saved? That's a question that haunted me for years. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

    For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life.  John 3:16 In August. I spent a couple weeks with my daughter who'd just had surgery. One day I bundled up the dirty clothes and headed to the laundry in her apartment building. I was welcomed by this sign.
