Who might be saved? Who is worthy of redemption.

Sometimes Hope is all we Have
Our hope is for a better tomorrow, whether it’s the tomorrow of mortality or the tomorrow of immortality. In a world obsessed with humanism, we hold hope in the highest regard. Hold on to your hope with all your might.
“Who is my neighbor?”
