You've heard the words of God, they have called you to Faith. You confess the Lord and receive the gift of Salvation! Congratulations, you have taken the first baby step on the most wonderful journey there is.
So now that you are 'saved', you will most likely announce your Faith, be 'born from above' and be made a new creature. Doesn't matter if you are 6 or 60yrs old, the gift of Salvation is the same for every single soul. From the mother of Jesus to the thief on the cross, ALL ARE SAVED BY THE GIFT OF JESUS, all receive the exact same gift. Praise ye the Lord!!!
Even so, what will your 'eternity' look like? THIS ISN'T THE SAME BY ANY MEANS. Faith without works doesn't let anything follow you. Naked you will be and standing next to you is one draped in fine linen. You, hopefully at the very least, a vessel of honor wood, maybe brass but standing right next to you a vessel not only of honor but OF GOLD. WHY? Not because the 'Holy Spirit' did a BETTER work in them but THEY followed the will of God and they followed the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit and their works are of a life time and they are many and they will help decide how they will spend eternity.
HOW ARE YOUR WORKS? Anyone try to convince you they are anything but good? SURE hope you aren't listening to that nonsense. WORKS are all we can take with us. How do you think GOD knows what 'body' to give you? That 'seed' contains not only DNA but the memory of your works. It has to if they follow you. No choice.
So next time anyone questions what your intentions are with your works, tell 'em "GOLD, I am looking to WIN THIS RACE!!!!!"
Cause that is what your competition is doing.
Hebrews 6:9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

Hebrews 6:11 And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:
2 Timothy 2:14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.
2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
2 Timothy 2:17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
2 Timothy 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
2 Timothy 2:20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.
2 Timothy 2:21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work.
1 Corinthians 15:35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
1 Corinthians 15:36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
1 Corinthians 15:37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that HE IS a rewarder of them that diligently SEEK HIM.
Hebrews 11:7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Hebrews 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Hebrews 12:4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.
Hebrews 12:5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
Hebrews 12:6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth.
