@ByGraceThroughFaith Thanks for this testimony! :)

Hi @Pathfinder7 So had you heard of the group before?

@soul man I must admit I hadn't heard of that group...

@Pearl Great contribution! :)

John 19.30 was the verse that I also immediately thought of. Hebrews chapters 9 and 10 also very strongly testify to this glorious fact.
