What does the Bible say about being fit for heaven?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that believers are made fit for heaven through the Father’s grace in Christ.

The concept of being fit for heaven is rooted in the biblical understanding of salvation as a divine act. As stated in Colossians 1:12, 'Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light,' it is clear that being qualified for heaven is not due to our own merits but entirely through God's merciful act of making us fit in Christ Jesus. Scripture teaches that all people are unfit for heaven by nature, being sinners, yet through Christ's redemptive work, believers are made sufficient and enabled to partake in the inheritance reserved for them.
