Michael, the chief of the angels, is the protector of your people, and he will come at a time of terrible suffering, the worst in all of history. And your people who have their names written in The Book will be protected. Many of those who lie dead in the ground will rise from death. Some of them will be given eternal life, and others will receive nothing but eternal shame and disgrace. Everyone who has been wise will shine as bright as the sky above, and everyone who has led others to please God will shine like the stars.
Daniel 12: 1 - 4
Is there a difference in telling someone about Jesus Christ and in encouraging a person to please God?
Perhaps not, but there can be. If the message you share is all about how a person can be saved from the fires of Hell and not have to suffer the consequences of their own sin, but leaves out the part about how they can please God by giving their hearts to Jesus and being obedient to God, then there is a big difference. Heaven will not be filled with people who learned some “Spiritual laws” and qualified for Heaven by following a "plan of salvation," but had no heart for pleasing God!
I you lead a man or women to seek to please God, they will do the things the Bible says are "necessary" to be saved! And according to these verses in Daniel 12 you will shine like a star and point the way to God!
“Lord Jesus, may my life be pleasing to God even as Yours was and is. Help me to lead others to please God as well. Praise Your Holy Name now and forever. Amen.”
