What is a good biblical verse to remember that talks about going to heaven?

Answer 1

God the Father is in heaven. John 14:6, " I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven.

Romans 10:9-11, " That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the Scripture says Whosoever believes on Him will not be put to shame.." ; :13, "For whosoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."

Answer 2

John :10:1-17

1: Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

2: But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.

3: To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.

4: And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.

5: And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

6: This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.

7: Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.

8: All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.

9: I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

10: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

11: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

12: But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.

13: The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.

14: I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

15: As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16: And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

17: Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

Answer 3

In John 14:6 (NIV), Jesus says "I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." This proves inescapably that through Jesus is the only way to get to heaven.

Romans 10:9 (NIV) says "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."

Saved from what?

"The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus" Romans 6:23

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" Romans 3:23

That is why Jesus came to die in the first place - to take our punishment for us so that we could be right with God.

"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way; and the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all" Isaiah 53:6

John 3:16 is also related.

Another answer:

There is no passage in The Bible that says: "Go to heaven"... "I'll see you in heaven"... we'll all meet in heaven"... or any of the like.

Jesus [whose Words very few people seem to believe] tells us: "...no man hath ascended up to heaven, but He that came down from heaven, even the Son of Man [Jesus, Himself] which is in heaven." (John 3:13)

The closest passage in the Bible that remotely says "go to heaven" is the obsessive heart's desire of Lucifer... the Dragon; that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan [Rev.12:9].

"For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven.." (Isa.14:13).

It's the "god of this world"... with all of his false, deceptive religions... who has put the "desire to go to heaven" [his own personal dream and ambition] into the hearts of men. [ "...Satan, which deceiveth the whole world..." - Rev.12:9]

The Lord, Jesus Christ - who came from heaven, and who is in heaven -- says no man other than Himself, who became a man, has ever ascended up to it.

There are no instructions in the Bible that say, "how to get into heaven."

God's instructions for men are to "love one another."

"...thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the Lord." (Lev.19:18)

"...the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God." (Lev.19:34)

"...thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thine might. And these Words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children..." (Deut.6:5-6).

"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another." (John 13:34)

These are God's instructions in the Bible. They're older than Moses... but God inspired Moses to write them down for us:

"...For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believe Me: for he wrote of Me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe My Words?" (John 5:46-47)

The Bible tells us that Jesus is coming back, to establish God's Kingdom on the "throne of David"... and David's throne is on the earth, not in heaven. The Father's throne is in [the third] heaven... and it is He who is giving Jesus David's throne on earth:

"He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God [the Father in heaven] shallgive unto him the throneof his father David: and He shall reign over the House of Jacob for ever; and of His Kingdom there shall be no end." (Luke 1:32-33)

A deceived modern professing Christianity... and hundreds of other pagan religious beliefs established by this world's god... has millions of sincere, yet blinded, people believing and trusting in his lies -- and doubting and distrusting the Truth of Jesus' simple Words -- [...no man hath ascended up to heaven].

Answer 4

Most of the religions of the world talk about "going to some kind of heaven" or other. Even modern professing Christians like to talk about what they will do "when they get there."

First if all, the Bible speaks of "three" heavens [see II Cor.12:2].

But in the Bible, the words "go to heaven" are nowhere to be found. In fact, Jesus tells us:

"...NO MAN HATH ASCENDED UP TO HEAVEN..." (John 3:13). A statement which few modern Christians seem to believe.

There is only ONE PLACE in the Bible that comes anywhere close to saying "go to heaven" -- but it's SATAN WHO SAYS IT!

"For thou hast said in thine heart, I WILL ASCEND INTO HEAVEN..." (Isa.14:13).

In other words... no man is allowed into the "third heaven" of God's throne [the first two heavens are another story]; but the biblical account reveals that it was (and is) Satan whose desire and obsession it is to "go to heaven" -- to BE GOD!

The religious belief that "God wants men go to heaven" is part and parcel of this world's religions... a world whose god is Satan. It is not taught, however, in the Bible.

So, "a good Bible verse to remember that talks about going to heaven" is Isaiah 14:13.

The desire to "go to heaven" was, is, and has always been that of Satan the Devil. It is not the wish of man's Creator [Jesus Christ - John 1:3] that man should go there.

"...'Yet a little while am I with you, and then I GO UNTO HIM [His Father in heaven] THAT SENT ME. Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I AM[in heaven at the right hand of the Father], thither YE CANNOT COME." (John 7:33-34)
