→Christianity: Updated with a proper encyclopedic third-person POV, example of good deeds
==Christianity==
==Christianity==
In [[Christianity]] heaven is being in the presence of God with places prepared for us by [[Jesus]] and is viewed as eternal bliss beyond that which can currently be known. We will be given new bodies that do not decay and death will be gone. Marriage is not a part of heaven. It is also possible there are different 'levels' of heaven. The conditions to enter heaven in Christianity, (the state of "[[salvation]]"), often revolve around some standard of piety achieved through knowing [[Jesus]].

In [[Orthodox Christianity|Orthodox]] and [[Catholic|Catholic Christianity]], belief in Jesus and proper works are often considered necessary and go hand in hand. Sins of earth must first be cleansed through [[Purgatory]] before one can enter heaven. In some versions sufficient good deeds can lead to entering heaven even without belief in Jesus if one never had the chance to know about Jesus.
