Contrary to popular beliefs and culture, heaven is not meant for people who have tried their best to live a good life but for those who have repented and place their faith in Jesus.

Acts 20:21
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.

John 3:36
He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

it is meant for both

No wonder the Pope keeps trying his best to avoid heaven for as long as he possibly can.

No SINNER will enter into Heaven. Instead only those who have been made Holy/Perfect in the sight of God from knowing(trusting and obeying) the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ (Truth), transformed into Sons of God, as a result, will.

Without Holiness, it is impossible to enter into God's Heaven and the only way to be Holy even as God in Heaven is Holy is through complete continuous submission to and obedience of the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, the one who is the New Covenant Law in the Kingdom of God - the Gospel.

And According to Jesus Christ, only those who do works of Righteousness(good works) as listed by Jesus Christ Himself, will enter into His Heaven - Matthew 25 vs 31 - 40. So. If you are here on earth believing you can simply ask forgiveness of your sins without actually doing the works of obedience the Master informed you of over 2000 years ago, be sure you will never enter into Heaven.

It is home for both. It is not easy oh for one to avoid sin in today's world

Your statement is like saying heaven is for rats not for rodents, or heaven is for fowl not for chicken
Repentant sinners or good people, they are the same, no difference.

And such who have done these, do they do evil and wickedness?

I surely do hope you know the accurate and True Answer.

Uh Oh O! Tell him!

As many that receive him he gave them power to become the sons of God.

According to the same Jesus Christ, it is those who then go on to Know the Truth- the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ- that are then set free from slavery to sin by the Truth and transformed in to Holy/Perfect vessels , Sons of God - John 8 vs 31 - 44

It is not enough to have the power, you have to use it - submit to and obey - , prove yourself worthy of Jesus Christ in other for His Truth to transform you into a Son of God. And this according to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ who also taught us that those who belong to Him , those who love Him and are called Sons of God, are those who live their lives in continuous submission and obedience of His commandments, the Truth of God - John 14 vs 15 - 25. It is in these that He abides in as they continue to abide in Him - John 15 vs 5 -11

The clincher as far as Heaven is concerned is found in Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46 where Jesus Christ finally explains that only those who attain righteousness, not your repentant sinners, will be rewarded with Heaven. So no matter how repentant a sinner is, if he or she refuses to become holy/Perfect vessels to be used by God in doing good works, there is no Heaven for such a vessel.

Jesus is Lord

Heaven is for BORN AGAIN Christians only!
They are baptized twice, water baptism and the Holy Spirit will also baptize them.
So after their death here on earth there's no record for them in the list of those expected back here because they're going to stay with Jesus and follow him wherever he goes!

Jesus came for the sinners not for the righteous.
