Obviously, since heaven is God’s kingdom, He will be there. What is remarkable is that we have the opportunity to be there and see God as He is.
Who will be in heaven with God? The angels will be there, and have been there since God created them. The Bible gives several lists of people who will not be in heaven. A summary of the activities that keep people out of heaven is listed in the table below.

The list is fairly extensive and includes some things that all of us have done. At the end of the first creation we will appear before the great white throne of God. God will go through the “books” to see if we have committed any of the deeds listed in the table above. In addition, our names will be checked to see if they are in the “Book of Life.” Anyone whose name is not found in the “Book of Life” will be thrown into the lake of fire, based upon the unrighteous deeds that they had done in their lives.God does not grade on the curve, so all people who have been guilty of any one of the violations above will be sent to the lake of fire, which is the second death.However, those who trust (believe) in Jesus escape judgment and inherit eternal life in heaven
