Who Will Be In Heaven

I personally can't judge who will go to heaven, but I know where to get the answer.  This subject is covered in many places in the Bible, but we will look at the end of the book of Revelation for our purposes here.

When one reads the obituaries it becomes clear that most people, if they care at all, believe that virtually everyone is going to be in heaven.  So we will see a different story as we look at Revelation.

Chapter 21, excerpts:
"And I saw a new heaven and a new earth...
Then I, John, saw the holy city...
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying....
He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.  But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

Chapter 22:14, "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.  But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters and whoever loves and practices a lie."

It is evident that God cares about saving those who have dedicated themselves to Him, to those who have done His commandments.  That, for sure, is harder than some people think it is going to be; i.e., many think that God just loves everyone and will save everyone.  We see in His Word, the Bible, that there is more involved than that.  He loves everyone, but He is going to save only those who have served Him in this life.

So, thank you for reading again.  Feel the love.  Serve the Lord.
