apparently, the carvakas in anceint hinduism were materialists and skeptics, arguing that consciousness ends with the death of the body and that therefore we should take pleasure in this life while we possess it and practice compassion toward others.

For God’s true believers, the work of evangelism is obedience to Jesus Christ’s great command to ‘Go out into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature’ (Luke 16:15).

The meaning of His name is also clear from the purpose for which He came, the purpose of which He was Himself aware and which He carried out on the cross of Calvary and sealed with the glorious resurrection. Jesus is the anglicised form of Jeshua, 'The Lord is salvation.
