Are you good enough for God and for heaven? We all fall short. But we do not have to arrive at perfection. New life is possible right now – through faith.

“What must I do to be saved?” was a question once asked of Jesus. What is the final answer to that question? How can we experience God’s saving power, both now and forever? The answer in the Scriptures is revolutionary.

You have a glorious future! But what if the present is not so great? Our ultimate destiny can shed new light on today and can inspire us in our earthly journey.

How do we get to heaven? Can people who are not Christians go to heaven? The Bible gives a clear – and perhaps surprising – picture.

Will we see our loved ones in heaven? From the prophets to Jesus to the book of Revelation, the Biblical Word puts forth the vision of “the feast of heaven,” which tells us a great deal about the destiny that we have through Christ, and how we are to live with one another now.

Many people today, if they think of hell at all, take it lightly; or they think of hell in simplistic terms. The real Biblical picture pushes us to think more deeply—to take hell seriously and to see the real hope that we have through the grace of Jesus Christ.

What is heaven like? The Bible gives us marvelous imagery, which points to the real nature and glory of heaven, with implications for our lives now.

Is heaven only future? Or can something of heaven take hold in our world now? Human beings seem far from heaven in many respects! But the Bible proclaims that as we trust in Christ we can begin to experience today something of heaven on earth.

Do people enter heaven at the moment of death? Or is there some kind of “resurrection at the last day” at the end of time? There is much confusion on this subject, but it all makes sense when we get the Biblical vision of eternity—a vision that can help us to comprehend events in life today.

The Bible rejects the two most common ideas that people have today about death—that death is simply annihilation, or, on the opposite end of the spectrum, that we have an “immortal soul” which by nature will never die. The Bible proclaims resurrection, which takes seriously both our mortality and God’s power to give life.
