So you want to go to heaven, which means will you use to achieve your vision?

Question

I understand one has to die to go to heaven. How true is this!

Answer 1

Death should be a understood as something that Jesus already conquered and has no power over us who believe in Christ and have dedicated our lives to Him. Going to heaven is a place for all believers and the coming of the son of God nobody really knows but only God. 

Enock and Elijah never swa death hence death is not a must for us to reach heaven. 

Comments

There are two ways we as believers can reach heaven. Either we live our lives then die in these last days or Christ comes back to usher in his kingdom and take us to heaven with him.

Answer 2

I am not questioning the claim by many that if we die, we can go to heaven. In fact, I have not seen any proof about this matter. When I was in high school, my religion teacher cannot even answer my question about it. How can we be sure that there is really life after death?

Comments

Quite simply, we can't, and we have to ask in what way we can assume that some form of life after death CAN exist? The evidence is extremely ropey and based on ancient texts that can be rejected just as easily as they can be accepted.

---

We can be sure there is life after death because it is written as a fact taken by faith in God's word which is called the Bible.

---

If someone chooses to believe that there is no life after death that does not make their belief right just because they cannot prove it.

---

@LibrayJohn I do think the main idea is still vague. There are no concrete facts that heaven or even hell exists.

---

@huntaking I do agree that the written words were embedded in the Holy Bible. But we have not seen the actual pieces of evidence visually.

Answer 3

When ever you here about heaven there will be a war or definitely there will be something to sacrifice, which may be your life or your happy. A bliss full person will not become a soldier to die for a king, hence in ancient period the king has said that those who die in the war become sacred and will enter to haven.   

Comments

As soldiers for Christ, we are already assured the victory so that even if we die for our faith we take comfort that we will get our reward from God in heaven.

Answer 4

Death doesn't mean immediate way to heaven. Death is just a way to end someone's body while it's soul is the one that will rise to heaven. If you committed the wrong way of dying then it will not guarantee you a chance to go to heaven

Answer 5

One has to die to their sinful self and if Jesus do not appear in their lifetime then the person will have to die a physical death in a saved state to make it to heaven.

Answer 6

At this present state of the world i think anybody who would really make heaven would have to die first before going to heaven because i don't think anybody would descend

Answer 7

If you want to go to heaven,try to live a holy life and believe that Jesus christ is the only way"for God so love the world that he sent his only son that whosever believes in him shall have eternal life"

Answer 8

First, the only way to achieve the goal of going to heaven as by the Bible says, one should be able to follow the way on Jesus Christ including the ten commandments

Answer 9

 In fact, I have not seen any proof about this matter. When I was in high school, my religion teacher cannot even answer my question about it. How can we be sure that there is really life after death?

Answer 10

There are two ways we as believers can reach heaven. Either we live our lives then die in these last days or Christ comes back to usher in his kingdom and take us to heaven with him.

Answer 11

It is not a must that a person dies before he or she can go to heaven you can still be alive on earth and then you will go to heaven through rapture

Answer 12

The concept of achieving Heaven varies among different religious and philosophical traditions. Here are some general principles from a few major belief systems:

1. **Christianity:**

   - **Faith in Jesus Christ:** For many Christian denominations, faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is central to achieving Heaven. It is often emphasized that salvation comes through faith in Christ's atonement for sins.

   - **Repentance and Forgiveness:** Sincere repentance for one's sins and seeking forgiveness from God is important.

   - **Good Deeds:** Leading a life marked by good deeds, love for others, and following Christian principles is often taught.

   - **Grace of God:** Many Christians believe that ultimately, salvation is a gift of God's grace, not something that can be earned through deeds alone.

2. **Islam:**

   - **Faith in Allah:** Belief in the oneness of Allah (God) and the prophethood of Muhammad is foundational.

   - **Good Deeds:** Performing good deeds and living a righteous life are essential. Muslims believe that actions will be weighed on the Day of Judgment.

   - **Submission to God:** Islam means "submission" to God's will. Obeying God's commands and living according to the Qur'an is central to achieving a place in Paradise.

3. **Hinduism and Buddhism:**

   - **Karma:** Good deeds, often guided by dharma (righteous duty), are believed to accumulate positive karma that can lead to a better future existence.

   - **Spiritual Progress:** Achieving the ultimate goal of moksha (Hinduism) or Nirvana (Buddhism) involves spiritual and moral development, often through meditation, self-discipline, and right understanding.

It's important to remember that these are simplified explanations of complex belief systems. Beliefs about achieving Heaven or a positive afterlife can vary significantly within and among different religious traditions and denominations. Specific religious teachings and practices, as well as personal faith and spirituality, play a significant role in shaping one's beliefs about how to attain a place in Heaven. If you have specific questions about a particular religious tradition or faith, it's advisable to consult with religious authorities or leaders for a more comprehensive understanding.

Answer 13

To achieve a vision of reaching heaven, one might strive to embody virtues such as kindness, empathy, compassion, and generosity. These qualities can foster harmonious relationships, create a sense of community, and contribute to a more positive and uplifting environment for oneself and others. Additionally, living with integrity, honesty, and humility can help build trust and strengthen bonds with those around us. Practicing gratitude, forgiveness, and self-reflection can also lead to personal growth and spiritual fulfillment on the journey towards realizing such a vision.
