How does the expectation of an infinite and highly-desirable afterlife impact time preference?

I could see this going two opposite ways:

- Do the bare minimum to guarantee access to said afterlife and, once infinite pleasure is expected, take on no additional responsibilities nor lower time preference any more than necessary to maximize current satisfaction.

- Alternatively: once infinite pleasure is guaranteed, realize that you can endure _any_ dissatisfaction now during your finite life, knowing that ultimate satisfaction awaits.

yeah, option one i've heard it described as the "once saved always saved" story, usually involving baptism

but i'm inclined to say that you aren't really taking it seriously if you don't cultivate a better character and focus your life towards healing and righteous action
