This is a common desire and expectation that church people have. Other religions might add having a lot of virgins to this list. However, all this is to idolize lesser things. To be with God in heaven is to be everyone’s overriding desire.
Luke 14:25-26 KJV
[25] And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,
[26] If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Isaiah 65:17 KJV
[17] For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:
and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into
mind.
Psalm 73:25-26 KJV
[25] Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.
[26] My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
