The choice of heaven or hell is not just about a destination, but about a relationship with Jesus. As a believer, death is not something to fear, but rather a transition to a direct route to heaven. However, for the non-believer, death is the ultimate tragedy, and the future destiny is hell. The rich man's story in Luke 16 reveals the great gulf fixed between heaven and hell, and the importance of making a choice now, as there are no second chances after death.
