WHO WILL BE SAVED
To be deserving of heaven in the next world, one must experience it in this world: one must attain the spiritual uplift which will qualify one for heaven in the hereafter.
Fear of Judgement-day should make the hair on one's body stand on end. One's heart should be illuminated by manifestations of God's glory which make one feel close to Him. One should suppress feelings of anger and ven-geance, demonstrating thus what the forgiveness of the Lord will be like. One should witness through one's own tears of contrition the scene of a forgiving master par-. doning his repentant servant.One should pardon those who are at one's mercy in the hope that God will be forgiving on the day that one will be totally at his mercy. One should control one's tongue though one is able to speak at will. One should bow before the truth on earth, as others will in eternity.
The believer is a flower of the garden of paradise, which sprouts in this world and blossoms in the next. He experi-ences in this world what others will experience after death, when it is too late. People's reaction to the various circumstances they face in life will determine whether they. are fit for heaven or hell; if they respond in a satanic manner they prove themselves fit for hell, and if they respond in an angelic manner they prove themselves worthy of heaven.

WITHOUT PAYING THE PRICE
Man has to offer his own being the return for paradise.
Whoever sacrifices his life for God will find eternal reward. There is no other way of earning salvation.
There comes a time in everybody's life when one has to sacrifice something -one's selt, one's honour, one's property or one's life itself -for the sake of one's religion. whoever makes the required sacrifices at such times is worthy of God's favour. Whoever stops short of self-sac-rifices in God's path will be permanently denied His bles-sings.
Paradise is so priceless that nothing we have can pay for it. God has nonetheless put a trivial price on it, that is, the sacrifice that we must make for it. The only thing that lies between man and paradise is that he should give up his insignificant self to God; that he should expend all his paltry wealth for the sake of God; that he should spend his time on earth serving God. To accept truth is a sacrifice; to give up one's wealth for the cause of God is a sacrifice; to spend one's time and energy working for God's cause is a sacrifice; to put up with displeasing circumstances for God's sake is a sacrifice.
What a small price to have to pay for such a great gift!
Yet man is so unwilling to pay even this paltry price, that he passes his short time on earth without doing so. ences in this world what others will experience after death, when it is too late.
