It's kinda sad, how on the day of judgement...those who you loved on earth, and those who you had a close relationship with in the temporary life...won't really matter at all when we get to heaven. You don't know them the same way in heaven...which is, they are no longer close to you (in the same way as if u were on earth); because we'll ALL be TIGHT in heaven. There is no rank, there is no relationship, we're jus one BIG family.
At present time, you wish to bring each and every loved one to eternal life in heaven. But when you get to heaven, you no longer have that same "connection", or relationship. God forbid, if someone you loved so dearly, could not enter the gates of heaven...simply because he had not received and heard the gift of salvation; That would suck...if you had to look down from heaven, and see such a sight happen right before your eyes. Fortunately, in heaven, there is no sadness, and there is no sorrow, so you can't feel sad for someone you knew on earth who you didn't get to meet again in heaven.
But on the other hand, if you look at it, it ALSO sucks...looking at it from an earthly perspective. On earth, you worked so hard to spread the gospel and lead ppl to Christ. Some accepted, some didn't. And when ppl don't...you are broken inside, that you may never be able to see him/her in the future kingdom in heaven. But once, you're in heaven...there IS no relationship...so you would NOT know how to feel sorry for the guy who you always wanted to share this gift to, but fell away (or never heard) in the end. Or else, heaven wouldn't be a place of joy, and happiness.
All the friends and family on earth mean everything to us at the moment. But rmb...God made everything, He can also take it away. When we're in heaven, there is no relationship...because we have become a family in Christ, in heaven; and we live only to serve and glorify Him forever nd ever.
My question was always (summary): On earth, we care so much...but in heaven, it won't matter. What we do on earth...means nothing (emotion wise) when we get to heaven...if we get to heaven.
"It matters to us now.
It won't matter to us then."
These were my previous, recent thoughts. But i realized, this isn't exactly the best way to look at it. It DOES matter now. In this earthly life, God created us, and we're all children of God that He so treasures the most. We wanna bring all the children that belong to Him...back to Him. So in this life, it is important to do what we were sent to do on this earth. Don't wait, until the day of judgement...you won't even know how to regret it.
Take hold of this opportunity...seeing that, it's one that we may all work best in, b4 it's too late.
(I think i repeated many of my ideas through out...srry, to whoever's reading)
