Will only a few go to heaven?
‘ He said to them, ‘Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to…’”(Lk. 13:23-24). These verses are oftentimes used to instill fear in listeners, reminding them that only a few people will end up going to heaven.
How many seats are there in heaven?
In heaven, there is one throne, which is God’s. This matters, because the Christian God is trinitarian, but is not three people. On the contrary, the doctrine of the Trinity holds that God is one. The number of thrones in heaven represents, imaginatively, the way that God may touch us in our ordinary lives.
What does the Bible say about the number of people in Heaven?
The Bible tells us there will be a vast number of people in heaven — so many that no one could count them (see Revelation 7:9). The Bible tells us many truths about heaven — but the most important is that heaven is the place where God is. In other words, in heaven we will be in God’s presence forever.
Will everyone go to Heaven?
First, not everyone will go to heaven. Matthew 7:21 states, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” Even many who claim to follow the Lord truly do not know Him by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Will there be more people in hell than in Heaven?
For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.”. There will evidently be far more people in hell than in heaven.
