The bible is very clear in that there is no way you can get to heaven by good deeds. God is perfect, holy & pure and we are not - we are far from deserving heaven according to His high standards.
Note: God did not originally create hell for you and me but for the devil and demons - we send ourselves to hell because of our sin - one sin is enough to keep us from going to heaven - so what now? We've already messed up.
God loves us so much that He provided a payment for us that came with a very high price - that's how valuable you and I are to Him.
The question is 'what did God do for you so that even though you don't deserve heaven you can enter?'
He sent His Son, Jesus, who was perfect and had never sinned to pay the penalty of death. Those who put their trust in Him receive forgiveness and heaven. Those who reject Him are left to pay their own sin penalty in eternal (forever) separation from Him.
It's a very fair deal. If eternity is forever and ever, do you think it's important to know where you will spend it?
