If you don't love Jesus now, then you really don't want heaven later.
The Bible teaches us that the citizens of heaven are obsessed with the praise of Jesus Christ--the very thing the natural person eschews. Anyone not in love with Christ would naturally despise heaven. On the other hand, it can be truly said that no one who truly desires to go to heaven would ever be excluded. The hearts of sinful humans are given a longing for heaven only by hearing and believing the gospel, which, of course, means that the church's obedience to the Great Commission is of the utmost importance.
