I think the goal shouldn't be heaven, that's the reward. The goal should be knowing Christ and becoming like him. The goal is to learn everything I can about myself and others and to draw others to His grace.

How about trying to make heaven right here on Earth now instead of hoping to get there when you die?
How about realizing "heaven" is a state of mind that is the realization of the eternal infinite of your conciousness?

Isn't "going to heaven" a goal for your "next life"?

Go to heaven, but see how close you can get to going to hell. If a "C" is passing and getting into heaven, then I want to get 69.5.

Love your neighbor as you would love yourself. In other words, be kind to others. Treat people as you would want them to treat you.
