I often find myself thinking about eternity. Life here on earth is fleeting, but what we do in this short span matters for forever. The phrase “Let’s make Heaven crowded” stirs something deep within me because it points to the heartbeat of God Himself: that none should perish, but that all should come to repentance (2 Peter 3:9). If that is God’s desire, then it must be mine too.
In this post, I want to share why making Heaven crowded is not just a catchy phrase but a biblical mission entrusted to us, the followers of Christ.
God’s Heart for the Lost
From Genesis to Revelation, the story of the Bible reveals God’s desire to redeem His people. Even when Adam and Eve sinned, God promised a Redeemer (Genesis 3:15). That thread of redemption runs through Abraham’s covenant (Genesis 12:3), the prophets, and ultimately culminates in Jesus Christ who declared, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
Jesus left Heaven to make a way for us to join Him there. His mission was crystal clear: “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost” (Luke 19:10). If that was His mission, it becomes ours too.
The Great Commission: Our Marching Orders
When Jesus rose from the grave, He didn’t just defeat death—He handed us a responsibility. In Matthew 28:19–20, He commanded, “Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them … teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.”
Notice He didn’t say, “Go if you feel like it” or “Go if it’s convenient.” He said go. Evangelism is not reserved for pastors or missionaries—it’s a calling for every believer. Whether through conversations, kindness, social media, writing, or serving, each of us has a part to play in making Heaven crowded.
Why Urgency Matters
Eternity hangs in the balance. Hebrews 9:27 reminds us, “It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment.” We are not promised tomorrow. That’s why it matters so much that we share Jesus today.
Think of the people in your life—family, friends, neighbors, coworkers. Do they know the hope of Christ? Romans 10:14 asks, “How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?”
You and I may be the only glimpse of Jesus some people will ever see.
Overcoming Fear and Excuses
I’ll be the first to admit—I’ve had moments when I stayed silent because I was afraid of rejection. But then the Holy Spirit reminded me: it’s not about me. It’s about Jesus.
Paul wrote in Romans 1:16, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.” Sharing our faith doesn’t require perfection—it requires obedience.
And God equips us. Acts 1:8 promises, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses … to the ends of the earth.”
Practical Ways to Make Heaven Crowded
Pray daily for the lost. Prayer softens hearts—ours and theirs.
Live authentically. Let your life reflect Christ’s love (Matthew 5:16).
Use your gifts. Whether teaching, writing, encouraging, or serving—your gifts can be tools for evangelism.
Speak boldly. Share your testimony. Revelation 12:11 says we overcome “by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony.”
Invest in people. Sometimes evangelism looks like showing up, listening, and loving consistently.
Hope in the Promise of Heaven
Revelation 7:9 paints a breathtaking picture: “After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.”
That’s the future. A crowded Heaven filled with people who were touched because ordinary believers like you and me took Jesus’ words seriously.
