Characteristics of heaven-goers

I wonder if anyone is like me. Sometimes i lack the emotional attachment to my salvation. If i didn't know better, i'd be asking if i really have the final destination of heaven in my future. But we are not supposed to doubt, and for each season of wavering human faith is an answer in God's word to reassure me of my future in Paradise. In a previous quiet time, God brought this list to mind of what the Bible says about those who are saved unto eternity spent in the presence of God in Heaven:

1 They are prepared to be surprised by His coming (Matthew 25:1-3)
2 They are known by God (Matthew 25:12)
3 They are blesssed of the Father (Matthew 25:34)
4 Their hearts are willing to serve the unfortunate (Matthew 25:35)
5 They are sealed by the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:13-14)
6 They yield fruit by the life of that same Holy Spirit in them (Galatians 5)
7 They are conscious of many divine promises (Ephesians 1:11)
8 They claim the divinity and supremacy of Christ as Lord (1 Corinthians 12:3)
9 They hold on to a hope of Heaven (Philippians 3:20-21)

Hope this comes as an encouragement to some fellow travellers.
