"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?" Romans 8:35
These are the difficulties faced by everyone, regardless of whether they are Christian or not. It is these difficulties that define whether you are born of God or not. Those who are will pass the test and remain. Those who are not will fall away. For those who are of God, NOTHING AND NO ONE CAN SEPARATE THEM FROM THE LOVE OF THE LORD JESUS.

The Throne
"He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne." Revelation 3:21
In this world, winning an Oscar (or even just sitting in the seat of a Hollywood theatre), is of great value and only for those who have done well at playing others.
However, for us, the followers of the Lord Jesus, there is an invitation to sit beside the King of Kings; a position that holds much honour and cannot be compared to anything this world has to offer. The only entry fee required is to be faithful, just and to abstain all from evil; this is what it is to be an overcomer.
