Along with that we need to be loving Him right here and now in this world with an in-dwelt motivation for the next life. We are encouraged to share our excitement in Christ, and to keep living our life joyfully until we reach heaven. As it says in Philippians 1:21 “for to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better.” We are also encouraged to keep focus in 1 Timothy 6:11-12 “But you, Timothy a rare a man of God; so, run from dark things. Pursue righteousness, a Godly life, along with faith, love, perseverance. Fight the good fight for the true faith. Hold tightly to the eternal life which God has called you, which you have declared so well before many witnesses.”
There’s a difference between just living and using your time wisely. Spread the exhilarating news given by Christ! Be an eager beaver and share about His gift of eternal life. No need to be unhappy for not being in heaven yet, but how about spending your time helping others?
