“He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.” 1 John 5:12 . “A heart that has received the heavenly seed is changed in its speech, changed in its thinking, changed in its way of life, changed in its senses.

“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
