God's love is eternal and relational, existing before creation. The Holy Spirit is a vital part of the Trinity and our spiritual lives.

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance, the only thing it cannot be is moderately important. ______________________________________________ 🛍️ SHOP OUR NEW DEVOTIONAL (EBOOK): https://www.modernragsministry.com/devotionals 📱Subscribe to the Modern Rags podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@gene_santiago1 📱Follow and Connect with Gene on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gene_santiago1/ 🕊️ Want To Donate To Our Modern Rags Ministry?: https://www.modernragsministry.com/giving-page-1-1 🛍️ Want To Shop Modern Rags Apparel?: https://www.modernragsministry.com/apparel Join Our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/GKSantiago?vanity=user
