Yes, it is. It is a fact that heaven is an actual place. Jesus told us about it in John 14.

John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
John 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Heaven is a real place only one of two places you can go to after you die. Isn't there another alternative? Yes, HELL. Heaven is a wonderful place beyond the imagination of anyone who has ever lived. Words can not describe it.

1 Cor 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Psa 16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Why Can't Everyone Go To Heaven?

Everyone can that's the beauty of the message of grace and the work of Jesus Christ. People send themselves to hell, not God.

Acts 2:21 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Who Is Going To Heaven?

People who believed in the finished work of Jesus Christ and the Gospel.

Will My Soul Sleep?

NO! Your last second on Earth is your first second in Heaven. Soul sleeping is a lie. Do not believe it.

2 Cor 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

Luke 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

Be assured that Jesus will be there the moment that you die. You'll see Lord of all creation. You'll experience a feeling of love and peace that you've never known. You'll be in paradise!

What Will Heaven Be Like?

Heaven is where Jesus is present. To be in his presence is Heaven and fulness of joy.

Psa 16:11 Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Rev 22:5 And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.

John gives us a magnificent description of Heaven in Revelation.

Rev 21:10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
Rev 21:11 Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
Rev 21:12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
Rev 21:13 On the east three gates; on the north three gates; on the south three gates; and on the west three gates.
Rev 21:14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and in them the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
Rev 21:15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, and the wall thereof.
Rev 21:16 And the city lieth foursquare, and the length is as large as the breadth: and he measured the city with the reed, twelve thousand furlongs. The length and the breadth and the height of it are equal.
Rev 21:17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hundred and forty and four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of the angel.
Rev 21:18 And the building of the wall of it was of jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glass.
Rev 21:19 And the foundations of the wall of the city were garnished with all manner of precious stones. The first foundation was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the fourth, an emerald;
Rev 21:20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolyte; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, a topaz; the tenth, a chrysoprasus; the eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst.
Rev 21:21 And the twelve gates were twelve pearls: every several gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as it were transparent glass.

It is beyond description. Jesus tells us not to miss Heaven no matter what we have to do. You don't want to miss Heaven.

Mat 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Mat 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Will There Be Animals In Heaven?

Yes, there will be all kinds of animals in Heaven.

Isa 11:6 The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
Isa 11:7 And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
Rev 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

I would say that there are animals in Heaven. All species found on Earth and even new ones. Remember we can only imagine half of what Heaven is like.

1 Cor 2:9 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Paul is telling us that we should dream what Heaven is like. No matter how hard we try, no matter how great our imagination, we can only visualize half of the splendor of Heaven. Heaven will be wonderful indeed.

We Will Know Each Other.

Mat 17:1 And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart,
Mat 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Mat 17:3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

Peter, James and John recognized Moses and Elias, who were born hundreds of years before. Yet, they still recognized Moses and Elias.

1 Cor 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

We will know everyone, those who we met and loved in this life and those we never met.

Not Of Works, But Grace.

There are many religions that teach faith plus works is necessary in order to get into heaven. Stay away from these teachings because they are false.

Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

I am not condemning doing any of these things but do not rely solely on them for your salvation. It is a gift. You do not earn a gift.

Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

No matter how hard you might try you can never earn salvation. It is written. This is what God says.
