Without accepting Jesus Christ nobody can be judged into heaven. God is a holy God who does not allow any sins to be in heaven. He was gracious enough to become flesh, sacrificed Himself, buried, and resurrected so that anyone who accepts Him as Savior for their sins will be righteously judged into heaven. Hope you will believe that soon. 🙏 Jesus loves you.
