About This Quote
When Jesus said, “We are not here to live in the past. We are here to start living in the future,” he was talking about using the gospel to create a better world. The gospel is not just about heaven, but about having life even here on earth. When people believe the gospel, they want to take the gospel and share it with others so that they can have life even here on earth.
