Heaven and Hell are true .They are like the air we breathe. Our body perishes but soul never dies. In hell there is suffering but joy in heaven. It is important to give some time to our soul as we give time to our body. God has given self-will to do decide where to go. He never compels us. But He loves us. Many people have made effort to reach Him through good deeds or visiting Holy places. I have found peace joy in Jesus. We have a great hope we will meet Jesus when we die. He is coming soon to take up those who believe in him. It is worth Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

I think it flies in the face of what all the churches say is how to get saved. This verse as well as many many others make it very clear that salvation comes through works of obedience.
