On Eternal Security and Safety in the Loving God Almighty and away from the worst Terrorist, the Devil, please read:

Do you know that you are to live/exist forever, even after putting off your body (i.e death)?

A Human being is actually a spirit residing in a body. Dead body means the person inside (who is a spirit) has left, to meet God for his/her just reward: Eternal glory/bliss with God or everlasting torment with the devil.

GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER IMAGINE!
To get set/saved for Now and WHEN you will leave your body (i.e have your spirit renewed/made holy;
Please accept Jesus into Your Heart as Lord and Saviour TODAY and live for Him!

Don't delay/postpone this, you are not promised tomorrow & there is no acceptable repentance after death!

There's no other Perfect sacrifice for Your sin (they must be paid for to satisfy the Justice Nature of God Almighty) except that of Jesus. God's holiness is too high for man to attain by his good deeds;
Man's good deeds/intentions can never raise him to the level of God's holiness. Acts 4:12

Adam's sin nature (which you inherited through bloodline) and your sins, have been fully paid for/handled by God's Eternal Word who became a man, Jesus. He died in your place (God's mercy), went to hell and rose with eternal life for you. John 3:16

Jesus was punished on your behalf so you won't be punished. HE DID THIS, MANIFESTING GOD'S GREAT LOVE TOWARDS YOU! He loves you far beyond you could ever imagine!

TO GET SAVED, PLEASE SAY OUT LOUD:
Dear Loving God, I accept Jesus into my heart as Lord and Saviour TODAY! Thank You for washing my sins away and lovingly making me brand new, your child in Jesus Name, Amen! (Romans 10:9-10, John 1:12-14)

CONGRATULATIONS! You are now a Righteous Child of God! Kindly get/download and study the Bible and Rhapsody of Realities regularly so you can know and live as God intends you to. (1Peter 2:1-4)

Please message me for more information. God Bless You!
