You don't necessarily have to be good.  As long as you accept Jesus as your savior and really believe in him, you will get into heaven.

To worship God, and do as many good deeds as possible so on the Day of Judgement we'll make it to Heaven.

If you believe in heaven and hell, then you'd believe that you have to do good things to get into heaven, and bad things to get into hell. If you indescriminately nuke people then you'll probably go to the hotter one of the two.

No we can never do enough. We should keep obeying Him and doing good deeds. Pray for forgiveness and mercy. God will decide who deserves Heaven and who doesn't.

first off let me say your not a bad person if you don't go to Church but to get the full understanding of god and Jesus and the holy sprite and why he died for you and for me then you need to get under someone teaching of the bible and yes to get into heaven you have to be baptized repent of your sines and start a relationship with god so he can direct your path of life and also if you can sit through a TV show you have seen over and over again then why can't you sit through something that can make you a better person in god eye sights? think about it he died for you to me that deserve ever thing that you have to give your time love and effort to get to know him and secure your spot in eternal life.   THINK ABOUT IT AND GOD BLESS!

If God didnt ever show His goodness to us we would never know to seek Him. Sometimes what brings someone to salvation is Gods good work to someone who completely doesnt deserve it. In fact thats always what it is. None of us are righteous and all who have salvation were shown the goodness of Him. Think about the drug addict who gets a secound chance, or the attempted suicidal person who finds new hope... They didnt deserve a life but God can do miracles.\n\nOn the other hand how can God let bad things happen to good people? First of all none of us deserve any better than hell for it is His divine mercy and grace that rescues. And secoundly trials make us stronger and prepare us for His kingdom.

ALl are good! God is so awesome. He loves you very much and has a great plan for you. Just believe in him. And remember to do good to others how you'd want them to do to you. (Luke 6:31)\nLife will seem better with God.

No, you must, of course, believe in Christ as Savior to get to heaven.  The pope can guarantee NOTHING!

Yes I agree but then again how could we compare if we obviously haven't been to Heaven yet?  I do think the world would be quite a better place but if it were, how would we know what ''isnt good'' ? have a nice day :)

The Bible says that doing good isn't the criterion for getting to heaven.  anyone who desires and strives for absolute purity could make it. But the biblical criterion is recognising that, perhaps despite the fact that we may think we've lived good lives, we're still sinners in need of a saviour, and so we should accept that Jesus Christ allowed himself to be killed on a cross so he could take the punishment for our sins, and we should turn away from everything we know to be wrongdoing. I am thankful that getting to heaven doesn't depend on how good we've been. If the criterion for getting to heaven was being good, then people who made a sincere commitment to Christ not long before they died after having lived immoral lives would find themselves going to hell despite their latter commitment to follow him and turn away from their sins, because the number of years they had spent sinning would far exceed the amount of time they later spent doing good. Or if they'd done one thing that was very bad but then spent years regretting it, it might still outweigh all the good they'd done and be enough to get them sent to hell, particularly since no one can be entirely good and everyone does things that aren't good throughout their lives. But the love of Jesus extends to people who've spent years doing evil things, if they'll only sincerely accept him and turn away from them.

Good works won't get you into heaven. Only having faith in Jesus Christ and believing that He died on the cross for you and rose again will. Jesus forgave all of our sins when He died on the cross.

False. If you want heaven, you have to run for it...\n\n"Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus. Brethren, I do not regard myself as laying hold of it yet, but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" - Philippians 3\n\n"Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able." - Luke 13:24\n\n"Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win." - 1 Corinthians 9:24\n\nThere are many other verses to this nature. God is not an idiot. He will not be mocked. Heaven is His abode. If someone expects to be in His presence they must allow the person of Christ to sanctify them. This is a work that takes some time and experience.

you should be a happy person yourself. But make sure that you know the limitations of having fun and being a good discipler. You can never be successfull and not a boring if you think that there is always a good and bad. there can only be limitations and not wrong and right.
