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!

If we were immortal and everybody was angry at everybody else all the time, what would the world be like? It would be hell. Everywhere there be people killing and torturing each other.
If everybody had compassion for everyone else what would the world be like? There would be no stupid arguments or wars. Instead of spending trillions on weapons, we would rescue the third world. With everyone able to get a proper education, the number of scientists in the world would increase a lot. Thus technology would advance tremendously and we then would become much wealthier. Probably proper space travel and even colonization of other planets would become possible. There would be no lonely people in the world because anyone who wanted a friend would be surrounded by compassionate people who would want to help as much as they could. Technology would eliminate cancer, drastically reduce "ugliness", wipe out malaria, cure Aids, maybe even remove ageing.
In short the world would be a lot more heavenly than it is now. It would be a wonderful world.
Because our world today, is pants in a lot of ways, and because our sources of enjoyment are rather limited, t is difficult to know if heaven does really exist. However if it does, it seems that compassion is a good candidate for being able to get us there.

Why do you want to go heaven, there is nothing about going to heaven in the bible. God created earth, not to be empty, but to be lived on by man. DARWIN came up with the story about heaven and hell. The bible tells us about God bring His kingdom down to earth to be with his people for ever, Rev. 21.
Another thing; if all those in Christ goes to heaven upon dieing; who are those people in Christ, that are risen from the grave when Jesus returns the second time.
To enter the kingdom of God. you must repent of your sins, ask god for his forgiveness, be baptized in the name of God and Jesus, and obey Gods commandments.
I excepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior, when I was 17, and I have been looking for the true church every since; I have been studying the bible, and have been taking bible study study courses, I have a very good study bible, and I read it often. I am 79 in good health, I know there is a God, Hes been watching over me all my life, I once walked through a tornado with an open umbrella, and not a drop of rain or any thing touched me or the umbrella.

Everyone does bad things and there are non who have not committed errors or as they call it sin?
You need only ask for forgiveness from your seriously honest sorrowful heart. Repentance is seeing another better way and taking responsibility for your life. Jesus would say, he does not Judge you but go and sin no more.
A rich man asked him what he could do to get into the kingdom of heaven. He said go and sell all you own and give to the poor. Then come and follow me. The man made riches his God and was not able to follow Jesus and his words.
The Bible says to seek first the Kingdom of God and his righteousness and all else will be added.
Here are the rules > Love God with all your heart and soul.
Love your neighbor as you would yourself. All the other rules are in those two.
Heaven is yours if you want it. Your choices will make the difference where in that Kingdom you will live.
You are responsible for every thought word and deed. What you bind here on earth, you will take with you.
Like attracts like so as Jesus said build up your treasures in heaven not on earth. He said if you Love him, keep his words and do the work on yourself.

Follow the 10 commandments stated in the Bible, read and study God's word, God will reveal to you what you need to do to get into heaven if you ask in prayer and God is willing to forgive you of all the bad things you have done because Jesus died for our sins and through his blood we are made white (pure).

If you truly long for it, please I want you to feel deep regret for you've done so far. I want you to be strong and honest enough to promise yourself not to return back to what you've done. You may even feel the need to drop some tears. Then look to the sky and ask the God who created Heaven to show you the right path. Believe, me if you're truly honest deeeep inside he will answer your supplication and guide you. I wish you the very best!

j.c. - It is easy! Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
Get down on your knees and ask Jesus Christ to come into your heart and change you. Say, "Lord, I want to know you."
Now, get a King James Bible and read the Book of John in the New Testament. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are the gospels of Jesus Christ which is said to be the GOOD NEWS. The gospels tell you how Jesus came and went to the Cross of Calvary for you and me.
You can't be bad enough to where God can't change you. We come to Christ just as we are, full of sin and bad things and Christ starts a new life for us.
Find a good Bible believing church and get baptized.
May the Lord bless you as you grow in Him.

Ask God to repent your sins and then change your ways and keep your ways as God wants them to be well not exactly. Then I bet you will go to heaven but i'm not for sure if will not not!

There's no such place as heaven.
Make this one life, the only thing you'll ever have, something you don't completely regret.
If you can make toward those you've wronged, do so.
Then start helping make this world better. Learn, and improve yourself.
