| But why is it that God has chosen to leave us here instead of taking us to heaven the moment we get saved? It is because we are left to represent Christ in this world where He was rejected and crucified. We are left to worship and glorify Him, and left to shine as lights, and to be ambassadors as we wait for His return. “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world” (Philippians 2:15). He has given us a message to deliver to precious souls that He loves, and we are responsible to go to them with this message of salvation that they need so much. |
