Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?"  1 Peter 1:3 - Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, John 3:16 - 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.  1 Corinthians 6:14 -  "And God raised the Lord and will also raise us up by his power."
