Forever
Hebrews 6:19-20 “We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, the inner place behind the curtain, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.” Without the Bible, there are so…
