There are two places where men will spend eternity: One is heaven with the Lord; the other is the lake of fire with - well you know.
The Bible in the book of John 14:1-3 tells us; “Let not your heart be troubled: you believe in God, believe also in me. 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. 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 you may be also”.

But Jesus meant more by His statement; His gentle assurance was meant to transform our struggle into an understandable, exciting journey with an identifiable destination.
These words or comfort for the living, those who know life through the experience of being “born again.” There would always be room for speculation if Jesus had not gone on to lay the groundwork, presenting Himself as; “the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comet to the Father, but through Me” (John 14:6).
The magnitude of that one statement cancels out and shows the emptiness of statements by “educated men” who wish to believe that “heaven is such that all who have lived well, of whatever religion, have a place there.”
