yes yes yes

You pass from death into life by saying yes to me. This changes your status and citizenship in a moment. Yet have you known people who said yes to me once, and never again? Do you wonder about their standing with me? You do not need to make a determination about them, for I taught you not to say, even in your heart, ‘who shall ascend into heaven and who shall descend into hell?’ Leave them in my hands, but for your own sake think of eternal life as saying yes to me not just once, but continually. This is how you are transformed, and the process by which you are changed into my likeness.
