What does the Bible say about who will be in heaven?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible reveals that a great multitude, from every nation and tongue, will be in heaven, chosen by God and redeemed by Christ.

According to Revelation 7:9, a great multitude that no one could number will be present in heaven, comprised of people from all nations and tongues. This multitude represents God's chosen people, His elect, who have been predestined for salvation. The foundation of their presence in heaven rests upon God's sovereign grace and the truth of the gospel as foretold in Scripture, highlighting God's mercy in choosing a vast array of individuals out of the world to be His own.

Additionally, the passage emphasizes that God has counted these people and has known them before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4-5). Each individual in this crowd sings praises for their redemption through the blood of Christ, affirming that they are there because God chose them and Christ died for them. Therefore, the hopeful promise of being in heaven is contingent on being part of God's elect, who are called and saved through faith in Christ's atoning work.
