The completion and ultimate realization of salvation must be kept in perspective as the circumstances in life come along the way of the believer. The times those circumstances are troubling, difficult, and suffering in their nature heighten the anticipation of the future promised by God to the believer. This hope enables perseverance so knowing the truth of what God has revealed that is to come is of utmost importance. Ones eschatology will determine ones ethics, i.e. how one lives will be directly influenced by what one believes concerning the future especially as concerns the future life after physical death.

The destiny of the believer with their heavenly citizenship makes for a different course of life and lifestyle than that of the unbeliever and their destiny in hell. The believers ambition in life that drives their way, ways, and choices is to be pleasing to God in all respects.
