The gates of the New Jerusalem are opened wide, and no one who wants to enter and would be happy there is denied.
The reason is that the gates of the New Jerusalem are the same as the arms of Jesus. He has said, "Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out" (John 6:37).
And the last page of the Bible is full of the Savior's welcome: "The [Holy] Spirit and the Bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely" (Revelation 22:17).
So what the Bible says is, "Him that comerth to the New Jerusalem because he will be happy there, Jesus will in no wise cast out."
Have you sinned? The Son of God is a Savior who forgives. "Out of the depths have I cried unto Thee, O Lord. ... There is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared [reverenced]" (Psalm 130:1-4).
The Son of God is a real Person; He has given Himself to us, the human race; He is "on call" for us day and night, 24 hours, 7 days a week.
Your "job" is to come to Him.
If you don't know how to pray, the familiar "Lord's Prayer" is a good one: "Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name ..."
Come; just kneel, and wait before Him.
"Wait, I say, on the Lord" (Psalm 27:14).
