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)

First the Holy Spirit unblinds your Mind and you get a Chance to ask Jesus to Save you. If you Give Jesus Permission to Recreate your Spirit, you will become Born-Again.
After you are Saved(Born-Again), the HolySpirit will continue to Lead and Guide you into All Truth.
At some Point in the Learning Cycles, you Will come to Know that Heaven is your Home.
Satan can only Keep you in Doubt and Unbelief for a Limited amount of Time, you Will Learn What Jesus Provided for you, after you Become his,her Child by getting Saved (Spirit Recreated).

thats a good question because people actually believe they go to heaven after they die but they fail to realize that if they did not live right and confessed their sins and accepted Jesus as their personal savior then they will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

We go to heaven on god's grace! If you truly accept Jesus Christ into your life and you live for him and he is truly in your heart, you will enter the kingdom of heaven. Blind faith and walking with the lord. Read your bible, pray, and seek him. He's waiting for you. John 3:16 sums it up pretty good!

Jesus died on the cross so I and many others can go to Heaven, like some have already beatifully responded. Why should I not believe what he says?

Because I've done everything the bible tells me to do, or really, I've done everything God tells me to do, because the bible is his word.
And I can't judge anybody but myself. Just the way it is. I don't know who else is going to heaven, I just have faith that I am.

Because I have spent many years studying the bible. I have experienced the things I have read in the bible all around me, being proven true before my eyes, in the world, in my heart, in my life. I believe the bible to be what it claims to be, given by inspiration of God. Therefore, what it teaches, I believe. God says "come to me, and I will show you great and mighty things, that you know not". He has.
