Few Years of Service with Pain & Hardships Eternal Life with our Lord and Father Weighing our Options

Hebrews 10: Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

What’s your Choice?  Lifetime of Eternal Punishment in Hell  Lifetime of Eternal Bliss in Heaven

Eternal Destruction 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9 7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;

John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Heir of Eternal Life Galatians 3: But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
