Heaven is for bad people because we, as sinful people have been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ. We (the bad people), are blessed to enter heaven.
Heaven is also more than earthly things. Not to mention due to our limitations, our imagination or "demands" of how we want heaven to be might not exactly turns out as our plan. Nobody knows what heaven is like. Moreover, in the bible itself, very little information about the bible is available. It is written in the book of Daniel and Job that dead people who did not believe in Christ will be put in a place called "Sheol". And those who believe will be in Paradise which has the tree of life. A familiar tree that comes to our mid that grows in the Garden of Eden. These people would wait till judgement day DURING Jesus' second coming.
Heaven is also now because when Jesus died on the cross, spiritually, we are in heaven along with him. However, our earthly body (
badan jasmani) is still on earth. Heaven is also in our heart when we receive Jesus Christ.
As the time is drawing near, we, as children of God should definitely manage our time and sacrifice our comfort zone to spread the gospel in order for our loved ones to have the opportunity to experience the greatest joy of salvation.
