In Randy Alcorn's book "Heaven," he emphasizes that many Christians who significantly impacted the world often focused on the life to come rather than solely on earthly matters. This perspective encourages believers to look beyond their immediate circumstances and consider the eternal implications of their actions. By reflecting on the next life, they are inspired to make meaningful contributions in the present.

Alcorn suggests that this dual focus fosters a sense of purpose and commitment among Christians. By prioritizing spiritual growth and the promise of heaven, they can navigate worldly challenges with hope and resilience, ultimately enhancing their ability to serve others and create positive change in society.
