Those making it into heaven will make that evident in them living differently, here, while here on earth. And, those words have not much to do with attending church but belief in God and in his word. And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? -1 Peter 4:18 giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: - Colossians 1:12-14
Because we'll each individually be judged alone -- by ourselves, the effect of the grace of God is the same in our lives. The effect of God's grace would cause us to depart a crowd and walk north --alone -- instead of walking south with a crowd. The effect of God's grace is God's inward dealing that no other hears or sees. It's similar to animals running in a forest, taking shelter before a storm approaching drops a spot of rain. Some would deem one who is responding to God's grace as crazy or insane. Because, faith is a matter of action: it is a response. It causes one to change. Grace and faith goes hand and hand. Grace goes on the other end of Faith. Grace be God, while faith is man. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter; choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. - Hebrews 11:24-26
