After death, we immediately go to be with Jesus. We have this confidence because we have been told that by Him. But, the goal of life isn’t just for our soul to go be with Him, but for all of creation to be redeemed. Our great is hope is that our King is coming back to restore the whole earth. When the Lord comes, we will rise to meet Him and we will lead Him right back down to earth to redeem it. And when the Christian understands we can’t lose, it effects the way we play the game.
