I urge you to ask yourself this question, dear brothers and sisters
If it were that you were saved, and went to heaven after you died,
what would you spend eternity doing?
Wouldn't it become exceedingly dull, once you had done all there was to do and see all there was to see, as some human beings existing in heaven for eternity?
Franky, that sounds HORRIFIC
You would become so full of existential angst that you would seek union with god rather than remain as some being bored out of their minds for eternity.
Yes, heaven may be useful as a place to grow, learn and praise God,
but eventually, this too would become unsatisfactory.
This is an interesting point, and why John says "We shall be like Him (God) for we shall see Him as He is. God is never bored, He's always interesting and interested. Also, read the Book of Revelation for an update: There will be a new Heaven and Earth to reign over. IDK what the downvotes were over, but we will not remain in Heaven full-time for an eternity, because we will have some business on the Earth, as well.
you may dwell in heaven as long as you need, giving praise and glorifying almighty God. Eventually he calls us all to go beyond such selfish existence.

Think on this.

If you truly want to see my point, and have an open enough heart, read chapter 16 of the lotus sutra.
I am being attacked all across the internet currently on all platforms for attempting to get a message across.
Lol.
