There are a lot of people in the world that are unaware of what occurs after death. Christians, however, are knowledgeable about both paradise and hell. There is no hope for those who do not put their faith in Jesus.
According to the Lord, he will eliminate all the rears and transform this planet into a magnificent home for his righteous people (Isaiah 25:8-9). Jesus also gave us the assurance that one day he will return and receive his people into his kingdom. We can learn more about how he will treat us in his kingdom if we read his words (Matthew 5:17-20).
Jesus also states that he is entering heaven to create space for his followers. He claims that there are numerous rooms in his Father’s house where he will accommodate his followers, and during his second coming, he will return to do the same (John 14:2-4).
Heaven and hell are undoubtedly actual locations. The righteous will have eternal life in the Lord’s presence and will receive the kingdom of God.
Let’s look at the following texts where God says that the righteous will go to heaven. In order to enter heaven, a place of eternal residence, we must therefore exercise caution in how we live.
