How does one get to go to 'heaven'?

Answer 1

I apologize that this is VERY long...but to answer your question correctly and to help you to gain accurate knowledge about heaven, I deemed it necessary to use all of this information....

Do all good people go to heaven?

Acts 2:34: “David [whom the Bible refers to as being ‘a man agreeable to Jehovah’s heart’] did not ascend to the heavens.”

Matt. 11:11: “Truly I say to you people, Among those born of women there has not been raised up a greater than John the Baptist; but a person that is a lesser one in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he is.” (So John did not go to heaven when he died.)

Ps. 37:9, 11, 29: “Evildoers themselves will be cut off, but those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth . . . The meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace. The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.”

If Adam had not sinned, would he eventually have gone to heaven?

Gen. 1:26: “God went on to say: ‘Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and the domestic animals and all the earth and every moving animal that is moving upon the earth.’” (So, God’s purpose for Adam was that he be caretaker of the earth and of the animal life there. Nothing is said about his going to heaven.)

Gen. 2:16, 17: “Jehovah God also laid this command upon the man: ‘From every tree of the garden you may eat to satisfaction. But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.’” (It was not Jehovah’s original purpose for man someday to die. God’s command here quoted shows that he warned against the course that would lead to death. Death was to be punishment for disobedience, not the doorway to a better life in heaven. Obedience would have been rewarded by continued life, eternal life, in the Paradise that God had given to man. See also Isaiah 45:18.)

Must a person go to heaven to have a truly happy future?

Ps. 37:11: “The meek ones themselves will possess the earth, and they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.”

Rev. 21:1-4: “I saw a new heaven and a new earth . . . I heard a loud voice from the throne say: ‘Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.’”

Mic. 4:3, 4: “They will not lift up sword, nation against nation, neither will they learn war anymore. And they will actually sit, each one under his vine and under his fig tree, and there will be no one making them tremble; for the very mouth of Jehovah of armies has spoken it.”

To how many does the Bible hold out hope of heavenly life?

Luke 12:32: “Have no fear, little flock, because your Father has approved of giving you the kingdom.”

Rev. 14:1-3: “I saw, and, look! the Lamb [Jesus Christ] standing upon the Mount Zion [in heaven; see Hebrews 12:22-24], and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads. . . . And they are singing as if a new song . . . and no one was able to master that song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, who have been bought from the earth.”

Answer 2

It's simple, really. There is going to be a very strange war during which the sky will be bright for 1 1/2 days. After this war, a Kingdom will be set up with Jerusalem as it's capital. Go to that Kingdom. Leran the laws, and keep them. The rescue from this dying planet to the new Earth in a new "heaven", another galaxy, will be the rescue of those people living in that Kingdom. See http://proventruth.org for more details.

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!

Answer 5

Jesus is the only way to heaven and while many argue that heaven doesnt exist , it doesnt change the fact that it does...so, trust in Jesus as your savior...read the Bible and youll know the way..

Answer 6

Relax... you're in "heaven" right now. Live every day to the fullest and have fun. Do good things for others and be your best at whatever you do. Heaven is now.

Answer 7

You must trust in God, and Jesus Christ with all your heart, mind and soul. Jesus is the only way his saving grace provides the way. Get to know him first, the easiest way is the New Testament. However he is also the God of the Old Testament too. But in order to understand the Old Testament you first need to know your God the easiest way is to pray, read, and study the scriptures.

Answer 8

i prayed every night for three weeks and siad, "God if you are real then prove it." and for three weeks strange things kept happening, but i kept passing them off as coincidence, then a preacher on tv was praying for people to be healed, and He explained my problem with my Chronically bad back and said God is healing you right now.... i felt the power of God flush over me and then it was done.... the Lord healed my back and i havent had any pain since. its been about 20 years now and i have a poweful relationship with Jesus Christ now... since this incident i have prayed over blind and lame people and have wittnssed the Lord heal them all.... no kidding.... i don't care how anyone tries to explain all of that away... it really makes them look foolish when there is such overwhelming and convincing evidence of a Loving God.... so in Short... Jesus is the answer.... lol....

Answer 9

Believe in Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. Pray and ask Him into your heart, confessing your sins and accepting that He died on the cross as payment for those sins, so that you may have the gift of eternal life in "Heaven". Know that your sins are forgiven and that even though you will continue to sin in your life, be accountable and learn from those sins.

Answer 10

God chooses you to be a Saint. Then after or if you pass the refining you get the heavenly resurrection upon your death or after the great tribulation when all the rest of the Saints still on earth are removed in on go.

If you don't pass the refining, you become chaff that is burned or destroyed for all eternity!
