The Bible does not seem to say that the goal of a Christian should be to get into heaven, for that would be selfish, and God wants unselfish glory given to Himself. God can be selfish if he wants to. As near as I can tell from reading the Bible and trying to ignore all thatâs said about it, you become a Christian by faith. That means that you decide to experience something new and quite mysterious. It means you must let go of the old, believing that no real loss is involved. In return, God creates a free space into which His Spirit can flow. Take it or leave it, the Bible seems to say, for better or worse.
