John 14:2 In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Mansions here means "abiding places"...from the Greek mone (#3438 derived from #3306 meno) meaning: abide, dwell, be present. Put your dwelling in God and He will be present with you now and in Heaven.
Oft times folks get hung up on there being actual "mansions" in Heaven, as we know them here on earth. God is not about material things on earth, so why would that change in Heaven? We are clothed by our good works on Judgment Day, Revelation 19:7-8, so you can be naked as a jaybird or clothed in fine linen as is your choice right now in what you do. Aside from being clothed by your works, you will reside and dwell in God/Christ and that is better than any brick/mortar mansion filled with all the riches of this earth!
