What does the Bible say about entering the kingdom of heaven?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that many will seek to enter the kingdom but will not be able to.

In Luke 13:24, Jesus admonishes to 'strive to enter in at the straight gate', indicating that the path to Heaven is narrow and difficult. He warns that many will seek to enter but will not succeed, emphasizing the importance of recognizing that self-righteousness can keep one from entering the kingdom. The call is to come to Christ, not with self-justification, but in recognition of one’s need for His mercy.
