Everyone wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die

As a believer, we all know we have been saved by Jesus Christ who had paid our sins once for all by his crucifixion. Therefore, we have eternal life.

And this is the testimony, God has given us ethernal life and this life is in his son. He who has the Son has life. He who does not have the Son of God does not have life. --- 1 John 5:11~12.

That means we will go to heaven and have the ethernal life. And the scriptures also tell us the world is cursed (Gen 3:17) and do not love the world.

Do Not Love This World
Do not love this world nor the things it offers you, for when you love the world, you do not have the love of the Father in you. For the world offers only craving for physical pleasure, a craving for everything we see, and pride in our achievements and possessions. There are not from the Father, but are from this world. And this world is fading away along with everything that people crave. But anyone who does what please God will live forever. -- 1 John 2:15~17

Now, we know we will be in the heaven where is a perfect place for us and we also know the world is full of sins. Then why we don't go to heaven right away?

Jesus came and told his disciples, "I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth. Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name in the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age." --- Matthew 28: 18~20

The Lord isn't really being slow about his promise, as some poeple think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. --- 2 Peter 3:9 (God doesn't want us to die.)

Here we go. God already has the purpose on each of us to preach the gospel. We, as a human being, must to fulfil the purpose and then go to heaven.
