Have you found heaven, yet? If not, let me remind you how to get there:

From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." Matt 4:17 RSV

In other words, if you’ve repented, you’ve found heaven.

How so?
 
Worries only disappear when you know that of Christ and the promises of God. There is much more then to repent as is described in Romans Chapter 10.

If I tell one that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, but do not explain why he is and just say to one you have to repent in order to go to heaven then one will only repent and become that of there own righteousness and not of Gods righteousness. I hope you see where I am going with this.

I don't know that you'd call it worry but there is abiding in Christ that one must do.

We need to love the Lord with all our hearts, minds, and souls, not to mention love our neighbors as ourselves. There's work to do, but I don't think it's a burden.

First, we are to love the Lord with all our hearts, minds, and souls. The Lord also has instructed us to love our neighbors as ourselves. On these two commandments rest all the law and prophets (Matt 22:34-40). The Lord gives us some specific commandments to help us understand (Do not kill, do not murder, do not bear false witness, do not commit adultery, honor our fathers and mothers. Luke 18.20)

If you do all of this, one day you will find that all your worries are gone. What will there be to worry about?
