I am sorry to see that dear Gail died in 2010 already--too young. I always liked her; but I remember she had come up to me at a previous class reunion, at least 25 years ago, and was excited to tell me that she was a born-again Christian! "Jesus answered and said to him (to Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews), 'unless one is BORN AGAIN (born from above, spiritual transformation thru the Holy Spirit, after receiving Christ as Savior), he cannot see the Kingdom of God'." ..."UNLESS one is born of water and the spirit (spiritual cleansing, not with actual water), he cannot enter the kingdom of God." John 3:1-5
I'll see you there one day, all you who call upon Him "in His name" (meaning to believe that Jesus is the Son of God, receive God's "free gift" ("For by GRACE you have been saved through FAITH, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, NOT of works, lest anyone should boast." Ephesians 2:8-9), and believe He was born of a virgin, died for your sins, and was resurrected; then you can "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are MANY who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are FEW who find it." (It calls for knowledge of the TRUTH, repentance, submission to Christ as Lord, and a 'willingness' to obey His will and word. We will never be perfect here on earth, but we must be willing to obey and seek His will, not ours.)
"For God so loved the world that He GAVE (a gift) His only begotten Son; that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16 ❤️
