Heaven, then, is not our default destination. No one goes there automatically. Unless our sin problem is dealt with, the only place we can go is Hell, our true default destination when we die.
In Randy Alcorn's book "Heaven: Biblical Answers to Common Questions," he emphasizes that heaven is not an automatic destination for everyone after death. Instead, he argues that it is crucial for individuals to address their sin problem in order to attain access to heaven. This perspective challenges the belief that everyone will naturally go to heaven upon death.
Alcorn points out that, without resolving the issue of sin, the inevitable outcome is hell, which he describes as the default destination for those who have not dealt with their spiritual state. This stark contrast highlights the importance of understanding one's relationship with sin and the necessity of seeking redemption to attain eternal life in heaven.
