For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life John 3:16

Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. John 14:3-6
