“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬ ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭ God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! ❤️😊

Papua new guinea is one of the most interesting countries in Asia. People there look like they have African features but are actually almost completely different and independent of them and have the most interesting unique culture. The island of New guinea might be one of the most opossing islands on earth with the very very very different Indonesian side. You can cross the same island by a few dozen kilometers and have people that look like they came from opposite sides of the earth. What a cool place.

[@derek-je9dp]

Papua new guinea belongs to Oceania

[@derek-je9dp]

What you mean by African is Austronesian ethnicity. Similar to aboriginals of Australia. It's really cool that Maori of New Zealand and Aboriginals of Australia are completely unrelated. The Pacific islands are so sparse that they can be living on nearest island from each other without a single drop of blood being mixed
