Why bother doing any good thing if it is only in our hearts? The future coming Kingdom is one thing. Living and loving God's kingdom into existence in the here and now is part of what we as Christ followers are supposed to do. Building a world via God's love is super hard, but it is the only thing to do, IMO. I want this world to be better around me because I am learning to love as Christ did.

Our good works aren't merely external; they're the fruit of God's grace transforming us into His likeness. Its in our hearts, so that we may be welcomed into His kingdom after our time has come. As we love and serve, we become partakers of the divine nature. We don't build God's Kingdom, we cooperate with His will through genuine love, making heaven visible on earth, within our hearts and the hearts of those we care about.
