There is no safe place in this present life. There are no guarantees. Jesus does not promise His followers good health, a long life, and material riches. It is more likely Christians will find trouble, adversity, opposition, and trials, but they will... inherit the kingdom of God. The only sure refuge is one¡¯s relationship with God. Jesus said the most important thing in life was to repent--that is, to be in a right relationship with God at all times.
