RockChalk had this question, but where is post? "So what's your point? That we should all be eager to die since we believe in heaven? This is a stunningly cavalier statement considering ..."

Respose: Wasn’t this Paul’s dilemma, Philippians 1:23? And for Paul, “We have no tenting place here.”  This world is not important. Christians were counseled to hate the world.
1 John 2:15.  

Weren’t Christians fleeing the world, off to deserts, mountains tops, monasteries, etc.? 
What is the point of cling to the world when heaven & the Beatific Union is the end goal? Let's get life over with for the ultimate end: to be with God forever, as Baltimore Catechism indoctrinated.
Of course, Christian theology does throw in the devil package.
Those who cling to life here don't wanna be with the devil forever?
Slow to leave here, then?
