Bible Verses About Heaven & Hell
What does the Bible really say about heaven and hell?

Many Bible verses record Jesus speaking about
heaven and hell, and the consequence of ignoring these Bible verses about heaven and hell is eternity in
the latter.
Consider these Bible verses about heaven:
"Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of
evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for
great is your reward in heaven..." (Matthew
5:11-12)
"Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and
become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.
Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the
kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 18:3-4)
"One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor,
and you will have treasure in heaven..." (Mark 10:21)
And consider these Bible verses from about hell, bearing in mind that Jesus taught
about hell more than anyone else recorded in the Bible:
"If your hand causes you to sin, cut
it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than
having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be
quenched." (Mark 9:43)
"... And whoever
says to his brother, ‘Raca!’ shall be in danger of the council. But
whoever says, ‘You fool!’ shall be in danger of hell fire."
(Matthew 5:22).
"And do not fear those who kill the
body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to
destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matthew 10:28)
Contrary to the efforts by some to deny or obfuscate the existence of heaven and hell, the Bible clearly
teaches about both and adds that compared to eternity either of
them, our life
on earth is
"but vapor":
"Indeed, You have made my days as handbreadths, And my age is as nothing before
You; Certainly every man at his best state is but vapor." (Psalm 39:5)
"...For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and
then vanishes away." (James 4:14)
For how to get to heaven after your vapor
"vanishes away," see
Justice of God.
