Answer 5

Actually, when I came to a realization that not everyone that is good goes to heaven and that there really is no place of eternal torment such as has been preached from the 'pulpits' for centuries that got my attention.

Then, when I learned that, for true Christians there are two destinies, that perked my interest even more.

Then when I learned that God's Purpose for the earth (Genesis 1:28) had not changed and that the vast majority of obedient humans can actually live forever on a restored and cleansed earth........... now, that........blew me away.

"For evildoers themselves will be cut off,
But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth.

ו
"And just a little while longer, and the wicked one will be no more;
And you will certainly give attention to his place, and he will not be.
But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." - Psalms 37:9-11

"Hope in Jehovah and keep his way,
And he will exalt you to take possession of the earth.
When the wicked ones are cut off, you will see [it]." -Palms 37:34

HOW MANY GO TO HEAVEN?
Since they are to rule over the earth, it is clear that those who go to heaven will be tried and tested followers of Christ. This means that babies or young children, who have not been fully tested during years of Christian service, will not be taken to heaven. (Matthew 16:24) However, such young ones who die have the hope of being raised to life on earth. (John 5:28, 29) So the total number who go to heaven will be small when compared with the many who will receive life on earth under Kingdom rule. Jesus told his disciples: “Have no fear, little flock, because your Father has approved of giving you the kingdom.”—Luke 12:32.

How small a number will that class of Kingdom rulers be? Will it include only the apostles and other early followers of Jesus? No, the Bible shows that the “little flock” will include more. At Revelation 14:1, 3 the Bible says: “And I saw, and, look! the Lamb [Jesus Christ] standing upon the [heavenly] Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand . . . who have been bought [or, taken] from the earth.” Note that only 144,000 persons are seen with the Lamb, Jesus Christ, on heavenly Mount Zion. (Hebrews 12:22) So rather than all good people going to heaven, the Bible reveals that only 144,000 tried and faithful persons will be taken there to rule with Christ.

WHY CHOSEN FROM THE EARTH
But why does God choose these rulers from among humankind? Why not have angels rule with Christ? Well, it was here at the earth that Jehovah’s right to rule was challenged. It was here that the faithfulness of men to God could be put to the test under opposition from the Devil. It was here that Jesus proved his full loyalty to God under test and gave his life as a ransom for mankind. So it was from the earth that Jehovah arranged to take a “little flock” of persons to be associated with his Son in the heavenly kingdom. They are the ones who, by their faithfulness to God, proved false the Devil’s charge that men serve God only for selfish reasons. It is fitting, therefore, that Jehovah uses these humans for his glory.—Ephesians 1:9-12.

Also, think how wonderful it will be to have as rulers persons who proved faithful to God on earth, many of them even sacrificing their lives in behalf of the Kingdom. (Revelation 12:10, 11; 20:4) Angels have not faced such kind of testings. Nor have they experienced the problems common to humankind. So they would not fully understand what it is like to be a sinful human and to have the problems we humans do. But the 144,000 will understand because they have had these very problems. Some of them have had to overcome very sinful practices, and they know how hard it can be to do so. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11) Therefore, they will deal with their earthly subjects in an understanding way.—Hebrews 2:17, 18.

Answer 6

Several favorite verses.

"Those who wait upon the Lord, will find new strength. They shall mount up on wings as eagles. The shall run and not grow weary, and they shall walk and not faint." Phil. 40:31

"I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16

"But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." Matthew 5:44

Lesson learned:

That I have everlasting life with Christ seeing as I am saved.

God loves everyone and wants everyone to be saved, but He gives everyone the free will to choose Him. In my opinion it is best to choose Him.

Answer 7

When Jesus asks Peter 3 times if he loves him and tells him to take care of his sheep. When you look at it and think of how loud and boisterous Peter was when Jesus asked questions like this before and how calm he seems at this point. He's probably thinking of the 3 times that he denied Jesus. And the whole time there is just this loving tone. Jesus could've said, "I told you so", but instead, it was like, "It's ok... It's time to move on."
... that rooster cries for me often, and Jesus is right there saying, "It's ok, you messed up... It's time to move on. Follow my commands and sin no more."

Answer 8

Proverbs 31:30

Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised
