God is One. God is the only one that has Eternal Life, and He is Eternal Life. And anything that had a beginning has an end. And if you're just a member of a church, it had a beginning. But the Word of God has no beginning, God has no... And when you are borned of God, you're borned of the Word, then you become a son of God, and your name was put on the Lamb's Book of Life before the foundation of the world. And you, the color of hair you have, the color eyes you have, the statue that you're in, God seen you before the foundation of the world. And He seen you, a human being, like you are. And though there come a million years yet, there's nothing can keep you from coming back to that perfect image that God ordained for you in the beginning, "My sheep hear My Voice, a stranger they will not follow."
