John 3:16 tells us that Jesus died, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life. It is good news that if we sincerely repent of our wrongdoings and turn away from them, God forgives us.

As I understand what I've read in the Bible, the reward for believing in God will be the same regardless of the amount of time we served Him. If a 10 yr. old gives his heart to Jesus, and lives a Godly life his reward will be the "same" as for the 70 year old who accepts Jesus as a Savior in the winter of his life: Eternal life is what God promised. I hope this helps.

The wicked seem to prosper, but eventually, if there is no repentance, they will perish. We decide our eternal future by the daily choices we make. Let us live with that in mind and be a light and an inspiration to others.
