Jesus explains the way to paradise
“‘Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's [God’s] house [paradise] are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.’
“Thomas said to him, ‘Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?’
“Jesus said to him, ‘I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
‘If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.’

There are several requirements, most of which are mandatory based on the language used by Jesus. Here are a few
Love your God and neighbour (Luke 10:25-28)
Sell everything you own (Luke 18: 18 - 22)
Hate your family (Luke 14:26-33)
Be like a child (Mathew 18:2-3)
Be more righteous than a Pharasee (obey the 600 odd judaic rules) (Mathew 5:17-20)
Be born again (John 3:3-8)
Believe in Jesus (Jonh 3:16)

IN MY FATHER HOUSE
John 14:1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
14:4 And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.
14:5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; and how can we know the way?
14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Thru Jesus Christ; for he said "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one comes to the Father but by Me."
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have eternal life."

" I am The Way, The Truth, and The Life; no man can come to the Father except through me". -- Jesus Christ (Jn. 14:6)
" Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved". (Acts 4:12)

In our present age of grace (Ephesians 3:1-11) where Paul ask us Gentiles to listen/follow him (Romans 11:13) the way to eternal life is by simple faith (1 Corinthians 15:15) For by grace we will be saved through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9) not of works lest anyone should boast. The way to eternal life now is so simple because its by simple faith! that many religious leaders cannot accept its simplicity. So they are twisting plain simple statements of St. Paul's 13 epistles and fit to their likes that makes them guilty of spiritual and moral crime, an intellectual suicide which cannot be accepted by fundamental Bible-centered Christian.

THE ONLY HOUSE FOR ME. .. .
Heb 3:6 But Messiah as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.
Heb 3:7 Wherefore (as the Kodosh Spirit saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,
Heb 3:8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
Heb 3:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.
Heb 3:10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in [their] heart; and they have not known my ways.
Heb 3:11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)
Heb 3:12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living Yahweh.
Heb 3:13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.
Heb 3:14 For we are made partakers of Messiah, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;
Heb 3:15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Heb 3:16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.
Heb 3:17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? [was it] not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?
Heb 3:18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?
Heb 3:19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
