Pleasant Words from the Gospel

Then they will go away to eternal punishment [hell], but the
righteous to eternal life [paradise]..." (Matthew, 25:46)

But in keeping with His promise we are looking forward to a
new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness. So
then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make
every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with
Him. (2 Peter 3:13-14)

For in the Gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a right-
eousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written:
"The righteous will live [in paradise] by faith." (Romans, 1:17)

... Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal
life [paradise]. (John, 3:16)

I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or
brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for
me and the Gospel [for God's approval] will fail to receive a
hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers,
sisters, mothers, children and fields—and with them, persecu-
tions) and in the age to come, eternal life [paradise]. But many
who are first will be last, and the last first." (Mark, 10:29-31)
