READ: 2 Corinthians 5:10-21

“…that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,” – Ephesians 1:18

I was once chatting with a taxi driver in London about Christianity and Heaven.

He commented, “If Heaven is really so nice then why don’t we all commit suicide and go there right now.”

According to Revelations 14:13, your works will follow you into Heaven. What you do on earth will determine how your stay in Heaven will be like. If you know why Christ has saved you, you will have a lot to do for Him here on earth.

This taxi driver brought up a very valid point. If we are all just waiting to enter Heaven, why not just go there right away? Unfortunately, the journey had ended and I could not explain the hope (the reason) of my calling as a Christian.

The answer is simple: Christians are not expected to kill themselves! Christians have an important calling to save souls and to establish people in the Lord. We cannot just rush to Heaven now! The hope (reason) for our calling is to bear fruit and win souls in this life. That is why we are still here and have not left for Heaven yet.

Christians were not recreated for nothing. God intends for every one of us to fulfil our divine call. Every Christian is called to a ministry (Ephesians 2:10). We are called to do good works. We are called to be unmovable, steadfast, always abounding in the work of the Lord. To me, Christianity has always been an experience of soul winning and establishing other Christians in the Lord
