Quite the question, right? Now, if you don’t have the ultimate arrangement with the Gatekeeper of Heaven, then, well, don’t even think about it. You are not entering.
There is a meet-up down the road
No arrangement made? Then, realize you are in The Show: What’s Beyond The Door! The stakes are gargantuanly humongous!
But, if you are ready to meet your Maker, then —– Hallelujah, you have already been granted entrance, and, no worries, you will be welcomed into Glory with angels singing!
Think about it: How do you want to arrive in Heaven? It is up to you. Right now, for the rest of your temporary life here on earth (however brief the time left) — you determine your rewards and punishments. Jesus rewards the good life. He already damned the rest.
21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.
– Jude 1:21
*See: Rewards from God: search of BibleGateway
Yes, even the born again will be judged for how they lived-out their life on earth. We will all arrive there, but some …like as if their clothes are a smokin’, having lived badly. Saved, yes, but arriving with clothes a smokin’ from God’s displeasure (“…as [one who has barely escaped] through fire”).
But if any person’s work is burned up [by the test], he will suffer the loss [of his reward]; yet he himself will be saved, but only as [one who has barely escaped] through fire.
– 1 Corinthians 3:15
…love [that is, unselfishly seek the best or higher good for] your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; for your reward will be great (rich, abundant)
– Luke 6:35
“Be [very] careful not to do your good deeds publicly, to be seen by men; otherwise you will have no reward [prepared and awaiting you] with your Father who is in heaven.
– Matthew 6
He who plants and he who waters are one [in importance and esteem, working toward the same purpose]; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
– 1 Corinthians 3:8
knowing [with all certainty] that it is from the Lord [not from men] that you will receive the inheritance which is your [greatest] reward. It is the Lord Christ whom you [actually] serve.
– Colossians 3:24
The never-again-condemned ones …never again damned
Never again will we be subject to His condemnation (eternal praises to God for that!), but our works are going through the fires of His final check-in to Heaven (1 Corinthians 3:15).
Sure as Heaven, I am one of the “steadfast”. I will assuredly pass the test and be approved — because Jesus saved me already! (See FAQ: Being Set Free) Did Jesus save you already?
Blessed [happy, spiritually prosperous, favored by God] is the man who is steadfast under trial and perseveres when tempted; for when he has passed the test and been approved, he will receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. – James 1:12
But without faith it is impossible to [walk with God and] please Him, for whoever comes [near] to God must [necessarily] believe that God exists and that He rewards those who [earnestly and diligently] seek Him.
– Hebrews 11:6
What about you? Ever grasped that feeling of being wrong with Jesus? Get past that today – and get saved for sure: Know that you know you know.
See: Being saved means forever never again condemned
What will your reward be?
What will you receive on that day? I want to live in such a way that I…
“receive the [victor’s] crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him”.
Don’t be one who lives badly, producing these, perishable stubble:
Therefore, as the tongue of fire consumes the stubble [from straw] And the dry grass collapses into the flame, So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away like fine dust; Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts And despised and discarded the word of the Holy One of Israel. – Isaiah 5:24
Our obligation to Him
We are reminded in Deuteronomy 11:1 of “…our obligation to Him” See: Job 8
“Therefore you shall love the Lord your God, and always keep His charge, His statutes, His precepts, and His commandments [it is your obligation to Him].
FOR MORE:
We have an obligation to our Savior — to live for Him in all things. How’s that going for you? There are great rewards coming for those who are faithful to the core.
