Two verses of scripture answer this question plainly:
-Hebrews 9:27 “It is appointed unto man once to die, and then, the judgment.” We’re only given this life to decide if we’re going to follow God’s ways, or our own desires. After our earthly death, there is no opportunity provided. God will judge us for the way we used the life he gave us here on earth.
-Luke 16:26 “…between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.” Jesus is telling the parable of the rich man, in hell, and Lazarus, in heaven. He says clearly that a ‘great chasm’- literally, an insurmountable distance-has been fixed between heaven and hell, so that no one can go from one to the other.
