Which Direction to Go? Heaven or Hell?

Ever hear anyone say "Everyone wants to go to heaven but NO one wants to die" or same sentence with the last word replaced with "go to hell?" Unfortunately people do not get the choice of not dying, they only get to choose where they end up.  What are the options after physical death?  The places to go for eternity are heaven or hell.  The choice is life in heaven or torment in hell.  

It does not matter if you believe in joys of heaven, but not the reality of hell, the Bible speaks of both.  While He walked on earth, Jesus actually talked more about hell than he did of heaven.  Why?  Christ does not want anyone to go to hell so He warned about the devil's evil plans, and the finality of hell.  Jesus Christ was the ultimate sacrifice made to save mankind from hell.  

"And an highway shall be there, and a way, 
and it shall be called The way of holiness; 
the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: 
the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein."- Isaiah 35:8
