Sidney (Jr.) Johnson

God reminds his people about life after death in John 5:24 using these words.  "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life." This scripture explains the meaning of eternal life because if we believe in God, he says that the Lord will radically changes everything when we die.  

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted.  Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 Sidney (Brant) Johnson, Jr., was born June 22, 1959, to Dr. Merdis Johnson and the late Sidney Johnson, Sr., in Brooklyn, New York.
