The Heaven Answer Book

Without anyone left to demonstrate Christ’s compas sion and righteousness, what kind of world would it be? Without anyone left to tell others about God’s love, how would people ever hear about Christ or put their trust in Him? The answer is obvious: our world would be condemned to perpetual spiritual darkness. Jesus’ command to His disciples has never been revoked: “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all cre ation” (Mark 16:15). I don’t know anyone who looks forward to sitting for hours in a waiting room. Neither should we be content to sit idly waiting for Heaven. Instead we should be busy at work in the name of the Lord, so many others will join us on that heavenly journey home. We are all called to be witnesses for Christ, bringing His love and transforming power to a broken and confused world.
