Now Jesus paid for us the ransom and it duration of effectiveness is forever. whoever is good on math can calculate how much Jesus paid for each of us?
Therefore that we commit our life to Him our life is not only faithful, but also logical. A limited compare with unlimited, we really repay to Him nothing.

Hosea 13:14
