The New Testament teaches that getting into Heaven isn't about how good you are. Nobody is good enough to go to Heaven. No, not even Billy Graham or Mother Theresa. God gives us grace through His Son, Jesus. If you believe that Jesus is God's Son and accept Him as your savior, then you go to Heaven.

You can't get into heaven by being good. There is no Biblical provision for "goodness" currently in effect.
You can only enter God's heaven through the sacrifice that Jesus made.

Not good at all -- heaven is here and now and can be had right now by an enlightenment experience. God/heaven/whatever is always there ... it's just the illusory concept of our individual self that blocks it. This self sees itself as real, as separated from others and everything ... once this goes away (e.g. via mind training), heaven is experienced.

No-one is good, says so in the Bible. You have to be saved. That is the only way into Heaven.

it's not about being good, if you have ever sinned even once you have fallen short of God's standard and cannot earn your way into heaven. Only through the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ can you be saved.
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
(NKJV)

You cannot get to heaven by your good works. If you believe that you are lying to yourself. You must accept Jesus as your savior, repent of your sins, and acknowledge that Jesus died for your sins on the cross and invite Him into your heart and life. Then you have become a born again Christian.

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
John 3:16-18
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
only Gen 22:2
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Acceptance of Jesus as your savior is the only way to get to heaven.

The way to heaven is by God's grace.....forgiveness.
It is not earned by believing hard enough, praying long enough, or by strictly obeying a set of religious laws

It's not our goodness that gets us into heaven... it's God's goodness...

There is none that is good, no, not one. Salvation is by faith alone, through grace alone, in Christ alone. If you want to try to obtain eternal life on your own, you must keep every law of God perfectly, from beginning to end. Disobey one law, and you are guilty of all. You cannot get to Heaven on your own merit.
