The Bible's answer
God selects a limited number of faithful Christians who, after their death, will be resurrected to life in heaven. (1 Peter 1:3, 4) Once they have been chosen, they must continue to maintain a Christian standard of faith and conduct in order not to be disqualified from receiving their heavenly inheritance. - EPHESIANS 5:5; PHILIPIANS 3:12-14.
What will those who go to heaven do there?
They will serve alongside Jesus as kings and priests for 1,000 years. (Revelation 5:9, 10; 20:6) They will form the "new heavens," or earthly society. Those heavenly rulers will help restore mankind to the righteous conditions that God originally intended. - ISAIAH 65:17; 2 PETER 3:13.
Next time: How many will be resurrected to heaven?
