At our 2011 Fall Conference, R.C. Sproul explained why right now counts forever. 

Transcript

If all right now counts for is right now, then it doesn’t count at all. Because right now is already gone. It’s gone. Right now counts forever because there is a forever, and because there’s a forever, everything that we do, everything that we experience, every pain that we endure, every tear that we shed is significant forever, and ever, and ever.
