And that means he loves me, an Arab and a Muslim. And then he went on to say that he said, I thought I had for so long thought that that your Bible only teaches that God loves... He didn't know. He said, I thought your Bible said that God only loves Christians and Jews. And now I believe that the Bible says that God of the Bible loves me. And he put his faith in Jesus, man. It was just...

It was dramatic and beautiful and wonderful. And, oh, I was so excited. That was November of 2014, but then maybe October.

I mean, it's just, oh, man. I mean... Yeah, I still remember him saying it that day before. Can you believe it, Tim? God loves the whole world. That means he loves me. Beautiful. Yeah, but when he died, oh my goodness. You're asking, why would God let this man come to Jesus and then die soon after entering the kingdom?
