: But the second way is that, even though I know I am saved, I would not want to hurt Jesus or anyone else or offend them. It seems that people who are indifferent about the first way can not be indifferent about this way.
I say this because it can affect the amount of compassion in the world.
I had one more idea that I forgot. Does the church teach that there are different types of glory in heaven based on how much people loved on earth. For one thing, I think about the different choirs of angels and stuff and some teachings I have heard about how we might exist in different ways. Also, I think about Jesus saying how we might save our own soul like escaping through a fire or how we can be used by Him to bring many others to salvation (in any religion through love and compassion they have). Jesus seems to say that things would somehow be better for us to have brought others to heaven with us? Whatever the case may be I know I would be pleased to bring as many souls with me however this is done. Like Therese of Lisieux I believe I can do little things with great love and I want to also, like her, work for other souls and their greatest glory for them and God both.
Okay. I think that's all my ideas.
