If your chosen from the many called you will have an inate sense of being in the Lake of God's corrective Fire right now, rather than later. You will have, so to speak, picked up your cross to follow after Christ.While suffering correction in this holy lake you will have to remain faithful to the end, do that and you in I guess.
So I further deduct that you can have excess in this life by refusing God, and suffer later, until reconciliation comes from God, or you can suffer now for following Christ and go on to the millenial reign as a reward. Of course God does the choosing, so you just have to go with the flow,what will be,will be.
Looks right on to me, with 1 caveat; if you are Chosen, you cannot not persevere to the end. Of course GOD Knows if you are Chosen, you or i do not, we need remember this.

Php 2:12 So, then, my beloved—even as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but, now, much more, in my absence, with fear and trembling, your own salvation, be working out;
Php 2:13
For (
Because) it is, God, who energiseth within you, both the desiring and the energising, in behalf of his good pleasure.
