Who will go to heaven, and why?
Millions long for life in
heaven. Jesus said that his faithful apostles would live there. Before he died,
he promised to prepare a place for them with his heavenly Father.—Read John 14:2.
Why will people from
earth be resurrected to life in heaven? What will they do there? Jesus told his
apostles that they would be kings. They will rule over the earth.—Read Luke 22:28-30; Revelation 5:10.
Do all good people go to heaven?
In most lands, only a few
people are rulers. Since Jesus resurrects people to heavenly life so that they
can rule over the earth, we would expect those chosen to be few. (Luke 12:32) The Bible says exactly how many will rule with
Jesus.—Read Revelation 14:1.
Jesus has prepared places
in heaven for some of his followers. Do you know what they will do there?
Those going to heaven
will not be the only ones rewarded. Faithful subjects of Jesus’ Kingdom will
enjoy life without end in a restored paradise on earth. (John 3:16) Some will enter Paradise by surviving the
destruction of the present wicked system of things. Others will enter by
resurrection.—
