Strive to Hear Well Done Good and Faithful Servant

The same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.     2 Peter 3:7 NIV

For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.  2 Corinthians 5:10 NIV

For all that is in the world–the lust of the flesh [craving for sensual gratification] and the lust of the eyes [greedy longings of the mind] and the pride of life [assurance in one’s own resources or in the stability of earthly things]–these do not come from the Father but are from the world [itself].  1 John 2:16 AMPC

By God,

It is written: “ ‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.’ ”  Romans 14:11 NIV

Therefore in the interim,

My son, do not despise the Lord’s discipline, and do not resent his rebuke,  Proverbs 3:11 NIV

In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising him from the dead.”        Acts 17:30-31 NIV

For,

If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all. They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness. No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. “Make level paths for your feet,” so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed. Make every effort to live in peace with everyone and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.  Hebrews 12:8, 10-14 NIV
