Yes! The Lord Jesus is the only way. If you believe that He is who He claimed to be - God and that He died on the cross to restore all those who would trust Him for salvation then you will go too. If you just try to be a "good person" and get there on your own, you will not make it. To enter heaven you must be Holy and since no one is, God has declared that all of those who trust His Son Jesus for righteousness (right standing with God) they will be given His Holiness and therefore access to eternal life. Those who refuse His generous offer will be given over to eternal dying in hell.
There are some good books, I've read lately on people who have actually visited heaven. "We saw Heaven" by Roberts Liardon. "Heaven: Close encounters of the God kind." "Within the Gates" by Rebecca Springer. Check 'em out. God Bless!!

NO
However let's look at what activities Christians say will and will not be in heaven.
1. There will be NO SEX!!! This will be replaced with PRAYER!!
2. The church service will not be over in an hour or two. It will go on and on FOREVER!!
3. The singing will not end. EVER!!!
4. Everyone will tell God how they love him endlessly FOREVER!!!
5. There will be no ability to make a choice of your own!! In order to make a choice you must be able to choose good or evil. In heaven there is NO EVIL!! So there is NO CHOICE!!
6. You are the slave of God FOREVER!!!
Now who wants to go there???
Come on don't be shy!!!

I do believe in Heaven. Will I make it there? That is my goal. Do I have issues that may come between the union? Perhaps.

If the thief on the cross went heaven, then so can I.
The Right to Enter Paradise
Death is inevitable. The thief on the cross knew when his would occur, but we can not predict our own. After his death, the crucified criminal went to live in paradise with Jesus. Some of us will also live eternally in God's presence. But others will experience everlasting torment, forever separated from Him.
If we receive Jesus as our Savior, our penalty for sin is paid. We are adopted into God's family, and Heaven is our eternal home. If we reject Jesus, we remain alienated from the Lord and under condemnation for our sin. We are destined to experience eternal judgment. God won't accept any of man's excuses because there is no acceptable defense for unbelief. (Acts 4:12)
Become part of God's family today. Acknowledge your sinfulness, and express your faith in these words:
"God, I have sinned against You. (Romans 3:23) I've followed my own way and refused to give You the right to rule in my life. (Romans 3:10-12) I recognize I am separated from You and cannot rescue myself. I do believe that Jesus Christ is Your Son. I accept the truth of the Scriptures? that His death on the cross paid my sin-debt in full. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4) And I ask You to forgive me of my sins. (1 John 1:9) By faith, I receive You, Lord Jesus, as my personal Savior from this moment on."
If you just spoke those words to God, then, like the thief on the cross, you have received salvation? a gift of God's grace. The heavenly Father welcomes every person who comes to Him through His Son, regardless of background, age, or current situation. Through Jesus, the right to enter paradise is yours!

I believe in 3 degrees or kingdoms of glory:
Celestial - where God and Christ dwell
Terrestrial
Telestial
I believe I am making the necessary steps I need to to attain glory in the highest kingdom, Celestial. I hope and have faith that I can endure and do what I need to make it there!

To me, heaven is being with God. I will most certainly be there after I leave this earth. That is based on a promise to me from God Himself.
Matt 5:3
3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
(from New International Version)
Matt 10:32-33
32 "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven.
(from New International Version)
Phil 3:17-4:1
17 Join with others in following my example, brothers, and take note of those who live according to the pattern we gave you. 18 For, as I have often told you before and now say again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.
(from New International Version)
