그렇게 쉽게 깨지진 않을 거야

Acts of the Apostles 16:31 31: He said, "Trust the Lord Jesus, and you and your house will be saved." Jesus was crucified as a Passover lamb and died. Jesus died on the cross in place of my sin on behalf of us who are sinners. 31: He said, "Trust the Lord Jesus, and you and your house will be saved."
