Will the rewards in Heaven be much greater than being a very wealthy person living on Earth and will the rewards in Heaven be much greater than the satisfaction a rich person gets when they're having a great time in life?
I want to go to Heaven when I die and I'm willing to do whatever I can to get to Heaven.

I just wish that the people on Earth would be kind to one another and there are no bad people hurting others or no people getting treated like prisoners, I just want to be in a place where there is nothing but eternal happiness, joy, love and peace.

Heaven is beyond our human comprehension, way beyond our limited minds can handle, but God does give us a glimpse of what we can handle with descriptions in the Bible. Read Revelation 21. It describes New Jerusalem, the Holy City that comes out of heaven from God. Read Revelation 22 also. And in Rev 22:12 reads "Behold I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done". Our lives will be perfect in a perfect heaven with our more than perfect God. Nothing on earth compares to what it will be like in heaven, I'm sure of by reading God's Word and assuredness from the Holy Spirit indwelling me. All you need to do is actually very easy. Ask Jesus to come in to your heart to be the Master of your life with the willingness to follow Him and obey Him. We all make mistakes, but we are to repent and try not to repeat them with the strength the Lord gives to us. Read the Bible, get to know God/Jesus. You'll have a relationship with Jesus in asking and receive the Holy Spirit who indwells you. You will know you are a child of God with the Holy Spirit in you. Follow the Master who will never leave or forsake you. Do not straddle the fence, wanting to serve your selfish sinful nature and God both. You must choose, you cannot serve 2 masters the Lord said. God will make you a new creation after you say no to your old sinful nature. Praise God for your decision! We christians will be present at the Bema Judgement Seat of Christ where Jesus gives our rewards to us. Read the Book "heaven" by Randy Alcorn. It's great"!!

Your willing to do what ever you can to get to heaven? Well it's both hard and easy at the same time. It works like this: Humble yourself before God. Admit that you are a sinner and that you are truly sorry. Ask for his forgiveness, and show some resolve in gratitude for His forgiveness, that you will make an effort to learn from your mistakes and correct them. Do this frequently. You my friend will be guaranteed heaven by the grace of God. This is how we all get there.
Is heaven much greater than wealth? You answered your own question. Peace, harmony, love, no more hate, ignorance, suffering , or tears. A rich person having a great time doesn't get all that.
But we don't have to wait for heaven to experience Gods love. Love him, and love your fellow man, as He commanded. Love is its own greatest reward.

Bad Squi is mistaken. Rev. 21:21 shows that the streets are made of gold. If you won tickets to something you really really liked..Super Bowl, World Series, Oscar awards, concert, etc. would you be happy? Sure you would. First, you would be happy to go to the event. Second, you wonder where your seat is. The main thing though is that you got a free ticket/s to this great event. I think Heaven might be like that. Let's get there, then worry about the rest. Let's get there first,and let God take care of the other rewards stuff after that. I have heard that it might be kind of like a person is given three mansions and another is given five mansions. It's all great. There will be no such thing as a "bad" thing in Heaven. No one will be hurt, angry, or jealous of another. If I have three mansions and someone else has five, I'll be glad for them. There will be only love, peace, health, kindness, bliss, honor, glory, and more in Heaven. Being a good person and trying to do only good things is fine and that's the way we all should live. It's the way God wants us to live. But--the only way to Heaven is through Jesus. The sacrifice Jesus offered to us when He died on the cross and rose from the dead is our ticket to Heaven. It's by grace we're saved through faith. God Bless...

Heaven will be better because it is permanent and not subject to deterioration in time. Rewards will be better there too, since any "rewards" here are experienced within an atmosphere of fear. Millionaires face death, just like everyone else. Many rich people are themselves miserable and fear losing their wealth. The hard thing about this life is that any of us can lose everything dear to us in an instant. Not so heaven, as described in the Bible.
Heaven is gained by faith, and faith means believing in Jesus Christ. Your faith connects you to Him and that is the safest place in the universe, the only safe place. (John 14:1-6; John 10:27-30; Acts 16:31; Romans 8:35-39; Matthew 6:19-20.)
This world in this present life is not heaven, nor is it meant to be. And it will not be until the new heavens and the new earth are brought about by God Himself (Revelation 21:1).
By the way, those who say there is no heaven and that when we die we cease to exist. Ever wonder how they supposedly know this?

None of us have actually been there, but it is my guess that Heaven is incomparable to being a rich person and having a great time on earth. There's no telling what it will be like, but I know nothing on this earth could match it. If you want to go to heaven, don't join a church. Talk to God every day. Get to know God and develop a real relationship with Him. Churches and religion have no use in this world. It's just you and God. No middle-man is required. It's pretty sad when you see people who go to church all their lives and still have no idea who God is or where they are going. So get to know him while there is still time.

The only way you can get to heaven is to accept Jesus as God's son.
So that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but so that the world might be saved through Him.
You can not earn your way to heaven. It is a free gift that you need to accept by Faith. Once you are a child of the KIng, there are rewards in heaven for you if you do his will here on earth. Read the Bible and ask the holy spirit to show you what you need to know.
I hope this helps you.

The advantages is going to heaven. some human beings have self assurance there are diverse ranges of heaven in accordance to the failings you probably did. whether that is all sturdy up there. often in case you do something sturdy you're rewarded here; this is, till you get run over by technique of a bus or something formerly you get the advantages. yet in some way someplace, what you do, sturdy or undesirable will come back to you.

Yes, heaven can only exist in the construction of the mind. When we die our bodies are either cremated into flames or rot into the ground, our time here like other animals is limited by biology.
I'm afraid you'll be dissapointed to find that there is no heaven, just death after life--its as simple as that. You can try to convince yourself over and over again that there has to be a tidy, happy ending to everyone's struggles but that plane of belief tied to a 'reality' doesn't exist. In a spiritual sense, heaven is just a pyschological yearning for a divine refuge from our complicated lives.
Accept the fact that life is made meaningful if you do something that makes you feel proud.

Heaven belongs to God. Getting there means belonging to Him in this life. The only way the Bible teaches is by recognising that we live in disobedience to God. That's the first step. Then, we ask Jesus to be our Lord and Saviour - but there's no negotiating. If we ask Him to be our Lord, He's just that. We belong to Him. We are put right with God when we believe in Him and have God's peace. He gives us a radically different view of life and He gives us His Spirit to live in us. It's a new life. A life that leads to heaven. The words and ideas may sound strange but that's just because we're not used to living God's way. Ask God to help you each step of the way - and remember that He is love. There's nothing to be afraid of.
Don't be put off by cynics - they don't know Him anyway. They laugh at God and heaven - you want to get there.

Heaven will be better than anything money can buy, humans only use 10% of our brains and I think we also only use 10% of our spirits and when we do go to heaven it is like we have full access to our whole beings which will feel better than anything our human form is able to feel. To get into heaven you have to be a good person if you sin you must ask for forgiveness and truly mean it and try not to do it again, also you have to be saved. Also catholics feel like they must suffer to get into heaven I have kinda adapted this by fearing going to hell- I think it is a sure fire way to get in good luck
