When Jesus died for your sins, it wasn’t so you would just wait around for heaven. Eternal life starts the moment you believe in Jesus! There is life to be lived here on earth. If God didn’t want you to be here, He would have just taken you to heaven right away. God has an awesome plan for you that starts right now! Live the life that God has called you to instead of just waiting for the end. Jesus saved us for more than just heaven.
