Will being a good person earn me a place in Heaven?

The short answer is NO.  Being a good person will not get you into Heaven when you die. You must also make Jesus Christ the master and ruler of your life.

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.  Apostle John, 14:6

Have you thought of yourself as a good person?

Do you think that being a good person will gain you entrance into Heaven? If you think that being a good person will get you into heaven, then you are wrong. God must forgive your sins, and only through Jesus can you receive forgiveness for your sins. Your good deeds are never enough to earn your way into heaven. Only faith and adherence to Jesus will gain you entry into heaven.

Said once again: Being a good person is NOT enough to get you into heaven. You must also make Jesus the Ruler and Boss of your life.

God will forgive your sins when you make a sincere effort to stop sinning because you have made Jesus the Boss (Lord) of your life. This is called “repentance.”

Remain in the life that Jesus commands us to live. This lifelong dedication to Christ is called “abiding in Him.”

If you sin after dedicating your life to Christ, your sins are forgiven. Tell God that you have sinned. Confess your sins to God, and He will forgive you.

This is an important point to make

To enter Heaven, you must make Jesus Christ your Savior and Lord (Boss) for life. When Jesus is the Boss of your life, you must act like He is the Boss. Therefore, forsake sin and follow Jesus.
