There Will Be No 'Participation Ribbons' Handed Out In Heaven

The trend for many years now has been to hand out 'Participation Ribbons' to everyone...
whether they won or not
whether they showed up or not
whether they participated and did their part or not
So that...
noone feels excluded
noone feels left out
and to boost self-esteem
and sense of accomplishment
even if they didn't win or do much
or anything to obtain the goal.

But there will be no 'participation ribbons' handed out in heaven.

✔️We must each do our part to strive and enter in.
✔️We must be faithful to daily pray.
✔️We must be faithful to daily Bible reading.
✔️We must be obedient to God's commands and instructions  (which are found within the pages of the Bible.  EVERYTHING that is written in those pages are for us to learn from. Romans 15:4)

✔️We must be faithful in ALL things for it is only those who are faithful that will hear "well done thou good and faithful servant, enter in to the joy of the Lord." Matthew 25:21

A servant does not just "show up".
A servant does not get by with just doing the minimum while everyone else does the work.
A servant must serve and do the will of the authority over them.
It is only the servant who has been faithful and been obedient to God's Word no matter what He says do or not do that will hear, "well done, enter in!"

Jesus warned, "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.”
  — Matthew 7:21 (KJV)

There Will Be No 'Participation Ribbons' Handed Out In Heaven

If we want to make it to heaven, we must be faithful in all matters and do, not our will, but the will of the Father, whatever He requires of us.

For it is only those who are faithful that will hear, "well done thou good and faithful servant, enter in to the joy of the Lord."
