What About Going To Heaven?

If you grew up in a religious household you were probably taught certain doctrines that conformed to that religion. One fairly universal doctrine that is taught to children is the idea of going to heaven after death. Adults like to tell stories to children to comfort them. But what is the truth of the matter? Have people been going to heaven?

Absolutely not!

"And no man has ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, [even] the Son of man which is in heaven" (John 3:13).

Question:

Then you are saying there is no reward for the righteous?

Answer:

No, there is a reward for Christians who overcome. They will be given power over the nations (Revelation 2:26).

For those who overcome, they will be resurrected from the dead into spirit bodies that do not die (1 Corinthians 15:52-54).

Those Christians ruling with Christ on this earth will have been called, chosen and faithful (Revelation 17:14).
