<p>This is a very interesting question.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I may be approaching this from a little different angle from others (not much of a stretch for me) but I believe that the period that we are on earth in fellowship with the 'One Who inhabits eternity' will only make heaven more desirable here and wonderful over there.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I believe also that the 'level of holiness'( if there is such a thing) is achieved when we enter into a true and abiding relationship with the Lord. It is His righteousness that opens the way to heaven and it would be difficult ( if not impossible) to improve on that. Although I totally agree that we should strive (by His grace) to draw closer to Him each day by walking in obedience. This aids our 'focus' in dealing with this world as well as heightening our anticipation of the world to come. Just my opinions.</p>

<p>to look at oneself to see if one is in the faith, to call the Lord our Lord and do not what He sais . Then are we saved by accepting Christ and not keeping the commandments, for who can keep them for we are all sinners,</p>

Then theres grace, but its the willingness on our part to be and to do His good will, we see in Matthew chap. 7 there were those who claimed to be the Lords but did things that God had not told them to do and said things were from God and told lies, God said He knew them not. or even like that of the son who sais yes I will go then don't and the son who sais now I wont go then changes his mind and goes, who was the one who was obedient in this. the preparation and alteration in our lives are in His hands, at the end of the day its for us to be in submittance and willing to obey His voice. that shows us to be His sons and daughters for real. unless we give ourself other to Him who made us how can we be changed into His image !</p>

<p>Jenny,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We must obtain Christ's holiness in our account. :) The process of sanctification is a real one and the evidence that there has been an internal renewal, but the primary thing is to have Christ atonement/purchase/shed blood placed on our account. We need Christ imputed righteousness. :)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Blessings to you sis.</p>

<p><strong>is there a necessary 'prep period' in this life that makes us ready for Heaven?</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Haha - I like your question. It made me smile. Prep for heaven hahaha. Nothing can prepare us for heaven. Eyes have not seen, mind has not conceived, what God has for us and not just when we get to heaven; it starts here. The kingdome of God is near us.</p>
