Heaven is NOT eternal life

Hello people, do allow me to touch your theology a little as opposing the strong belief we have that all our goal as christians is to just make Heaven. This is the revelation or perspective: if let's say there is no more Heaven, will you still have the Faith or follow Jesus Christ? Note that all things are contained in Him and it pleases the Father to place all things in His care so to know Him or have Him is much more than just getting to Heaven Col0ssians 1:19-20,2:9-10. Even though, it is all emcompassing. Getting to Heaven for some people is all about eternal life while just KNOWING HIM is eternal life John17:3. When Jesus was leaving the earth, He promised to come back for us having gone to prepare a place for us that we also may be where He is. So where is He? John 15:10, 17:23.
I believe IN HIS LOVE. This is our destination which is God Himself; Heaven and earth plus all creation are in Him. Yet He is creating another earth and Heaven to settle with us finally where He will live among us FOREVER Revelation 21:1-4. The race of Faith is never intended for just making Heaven but to create A RELATIONSHIP between God and man; the expression of LOVE in all ramifications. This is God's singular desire for creation. Heaven is not our escape route from the troubles on earth but the kingdom throne to execute righteousness and justice for all creation, never created for man to reign Psalm115:16. Man is expected to occupy the place of authority for the kingdom extension on earth not to flee to Heaven. Will you take so seriously henceforth YOUR LOVE affair with Jesus Christ the True God so you can just live in Him so that WHEREVER He is, THERE you are also. Selah!
