He Is The Same yesterday and today and forever!
Many things may have changed over the course of time since God created the heavens and the earth:
-Armies
-Boundaries
-Circumstances
-Daily Living Standard
-Economies
-Fashions
-Governments
-Hobbies
-Incomes
-Jobs
-Kings and queens
-Laws of the Land
-Mentalities
-Norms of Societies
-Organisations
-Politics
-Quantities
-Religions
-Societies
-Technologies
-Universities
-Viewpoints
-Weapons of war
-Xpertises
-Youth cultures
-Zones of warfare
Nevertheless, the Answer/Solution to what is our eternal destiny after our earthly temporary life is ALWAYS the same:
Jesus Christ!
Jesus Christ Is still The Way, The Truth, and The Life. No one can go to the Father or to Heaven without Him (John 14:6)
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever (Hebrews 13:8)
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever (Isaiah 40:8)
Praise God! Hallelujah!
Be encouraged, brother! Be encouraged, sister!
Be strong in Our Lord Jesus Christ who said, " All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Amen and amen.

FIVE essential commandments of God are:
1. Love God with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength (Mark 12:30)
2. Love one another (in God's Family) as Christ has loved us (sacrificially unto death) (John 13:34)
3. Love our neighbor (any needy unbeliever) as ourselves (Mark 12:31)
4. Go and make disciples of all peoples (Matthew 28:18-20)
5. Manage the earthly resources and environment wisely (Genesis 1:28)
If we live by these principles faithfully, we will be doing God's will in all areas of our lives unto His praise, honor, and glory and the blessing of the whole world.

From nominal to born-again Christian
I was born and raised in the multi-religious country of Mauritius Island, in the Indian Ocean. My parents placed me in a Roman Catholic elementary school. I got sprinkled, had my first "Holy Communion", and confirmed in Roman Catholicism as ayoung child. I attended masses, and confessed my sins to the priest...This went on for years but I still felt something was missing in my life. My heart experienced a void and emptiness...
One day, in my youth, I got invited to a Youth Gospel meeting. As soon as I stepped in there, I felt love in the atmosphere and environment. I was challenged by the preaching of the Word. The preacher quoted John 14:6 which declares that Jesus Is the Way, the Truth and the Life, and no one comes to the Father except through Him. After a few more such meetings, I finally got convinced and convicted of my need of Jesus Christ as My Savior and Lord. So, I finally repented, confessed, and received Him into my heart through a sincere humble prayer. I had decided to follow Jesus-No turning back.
Ever since I got born again in Christ, I have truly enjoyed the peace of God in my heart no matter the circumstances. No more emptiness in my heart. I know that I am now living in the Truth and the Light. Thank You and Praise You, My Most Precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
