Sovereign God rules all creation, but He favors those who are in a faith relationship with Him. As we all shall inherit heaven upon the basis of the Lord Jesus sacrifice. (2 Corithian 5:8 & Revelation 7:9-11) Though we are saved by grace and not of works (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 8:15), yet as Kingdom citizens it is our responsibility to strive to enter in. (Matthew 7:13-14; Acts 14:22; Matthew 11:12; Revelation 3:2). For even those entering into the Kingdom there is a difference made of those who strive versus those who only arrive. (1 Corinthians 3:12-15). One’s position in the Kingdom is determined by how much work one does. (Luke 19:15-19)
