Good morning,
The reason why you are not taken up to heaven immediately you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour is so that you can win souls.
Necessity is laid on us to do this since the dead are not coming back to do it. We have to evangelize to all the nations of the earth to save people from hell fire.
Peace be unto you
