He highlights the importance of living a life that reflects the extraordinary claims of Christianity, rather than an ordinary existence. Poonen calls for a deep repentance among Christians for failing to demonstrate the heavenly life through their relationships and attitudes, particularly towards material possessions. He stresses that true Christian leadership involves living out the values of the kingdom of God, empowered by the Holy Spirit, to show the world what heaven is like. Ultimately, he challenges believers to forsake earthly attachments and to live as heaven dwellers, demonstrating the transformative power of the gospel in their daily lives.
