What Life Would Be Like

Okay, so I am listening to the song "What Life Would Be Like" by Big Daddy Weave on my Ipod, and it got me thinking a little bit. Well, first off, the song talks about the things that Jesus did on this earth and what He is still doing for us. The song also muses about what life would be like if we lived with Christ in our lives.
This song makes me really curious when I listen to it. Seriously, what would life be like? It would be crazy awesome, that's what! There would be no divorces, there would be no abortions, there would be no abuses, no rapes, no fights, no murders, no terrorism... none of that! You could walk the streets of Iraq or Afghanistan without fear of being blown up. You could talk about Christ without getting shunned or persecuted. Everyone would be friends. There would be no differences in religion because Christ would be the religion (even though I really don't like that word). Conversations among teenagers would be wholesome and pure. Men wouldn't fall prey to lusts. Women wouldn't use their bodies for lust. Children wouldn't be starving. Families wouldn't be hurting. Marriages wouldn't be broken. In essence, life would be a utopia.
But then I got to thinking, that was what Eden was like, wasn't it? That is what Heaven is! Why wouldn't we want a life like that? Why is it so hard to accept Christ? Personally, I don't understand it. I know that sin has spread like a wildfire in our generation, but Christ is still bigger than that. And everything He offers only benefits us. Yet we still keep living in our sin.
I guess I will just have to wait until Heaven to see what life would be like.
