If I give to charity, raise a family the right way, help people whenever they need help, and just life a good life, why will I still go to hell, according to Christianity?

According to Christianity, yes, because you haven't accepted Jesus.

You are not saved. Your mind has not been renewed to the Word. It is all a matter of the heart. Confessing and believing that God came and sent His Son 2000 years ago to die on a Cross for your sins and mine. The sins of teh whole world. Sure, you can be a good man and do alot of good works but it will never equal what God wants to give you. Not on your best day, will you measure up to the standard God has. That is why He sent His Son to die for all mankind. Just look at John 3:16 and you will find yoru answer. Start believing in your heart, but first: Confession must be made publicly taht you are saved. Not a private deal here. This is public. Before men. Christ was not ashamed to walk 200 feet to go to the Cross and die. Likewise, you should not be afraid to make a stand before men that you are His and He is yours. I pray you will find the truth only found in Him and He alone. This is a serious matter. Not something to deal around with. I hope you make the right decision that you know you need to make. I am here for you if you need more...

The word "hell" is found in many Bible translations. In the same verses other translations read "the grave" the world of the dead and so forth.Other Bibles simply transliterate the original-language words that are sometimes rendered " hell"; that is they express them with the letters of our alphabet but leave the words untranslated.

you do not get to heaven by works, we are saved by grace and it is free, it cant be earned, Jesus paid the price for us, all we have to do is ask for forgivness and ask him to be Lord of our life. there will be many Good people that do not make it... as the bible tells us there is only one way,there is a verse in the bible that talks about people going before the Lord and saying that they did this and that and how good they were, and God says go i never knew you. thats a scary thought to stand in Gods presence and he says go..i dont know you. its not what you do...but who you know.and that one is Jesus...read John chapter 3;16-21

Cos we our good acts could never buy our way to heaven. God wants no one to boast that their own good acts got them there. There is only one way, that is through the death of God's Son, believing in him AND following him, no other name has been given by which we can be saved. To trust in self, is the epitome of sinfulness. Self, self-works, self-praise, focus on self, is not the way to God.

Never be afraid of anything. Religion is rubbish. Just believe in wat u really believe. Do ur duties and never do anything which u believe is wrong.
