In today’s message Bro. Leo teaches, what God ensures through His written word,  happens to a true born again believer when their physical life ends in this world.  God does not want believers to fear death or have uncertainty about what will happen when we die, so He very clearly instructs us in His written word of the events that take place as well as where we go when we pass from this life.  God even gives us an eye witness description of heaven to help assure us.  I praise Jesus for His assurance of where my believing loved ones are now and where I will be some day!
