Luke 路加福音 15:8-10 8 「或是一個女人，有十個銀幣，失去一個，哪能不點上燈，打掃屋子，細細地找，直到找著呢？9既找著了，就請朋友鄰舍來，說 ：『請大家和我一同歡樂，因為我失去的那個銀幣，已經找到了。』10我告訴你們，因為一個罪人悔改，　神的使者也必這樣為他歡樂。」 8 “Or what woman, if she has ten silver coins and loses one coin, does not light a lamp and sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost!’ 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”

Genesis 創世記 2:8-9 8耶和華　神在東方的伊甸，栽了一個園子，把他所造的人放在那裡。9耶和華　神使各樣的樹從地上長起來，能悅人的眼目，也好作食物。園子中間又有生命樹，和知善惡樹。 8 The LORD God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed. 9 Out of the ground the LORD God caused to grow every tree that is pleasing to the sight and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

約書亞 Joshua 22:5 只要切切的謹慎遵行耶和華僕人摩西所吩咐你們的誡命律法，愛耶和華─你們的神，行祂一切的道，守祂的誡命，專靠祂，盡心盡性事奉祂。 Only be very careful to observe the commandment and the law which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, to love the LORD your God and walk in all His ways and keep His commandments and hold fast to Him and serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul. 出埃及記 Exodus 3:12 神說：我必與你同在。你將百姓從埃及領出來之後，你們必在這山上事奉我；這就是我打發你去的證據。 And He (God) said, “Certainly I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall worship God at this mountain.”

Whatever you do in this life, echoes in eternity!

Matthew 馬太福音16:26 人若賺得全世界，賠上自己的生命(永遠的生命)，有甚麼益處呢？人還能拿甚麼換生命呢？ For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?
