One has nothing to do with the other in the Kingdom of God. Besides the Word of God says that there is none good, no not one. We can never do enough 'good' to make it to Heaven on our own. If that were the case there would be no need for Jesus to die on the Cross. We all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God. That is the Word of God. There is not enough money or deeds we could ever do in life to merit us getting to Heaven on our own. Getting to Heaven can not be measured on our deeds but it is Jesus and what He did that helps us be who we are. There is none perfect, no not one. May God Bless

Many people ask this question. If I am saved why am I not in heaven? Well, God keeps us here so that we can teach other people how to be saved. There are over six billion people out there you know.

Sounds like you have some issues over religion and faith!
Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
We are all sinners, according to many Bible verses. But there is good news:
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
We pay for our sin with our physical life and our spiritual life. But the good news is that God offers us forgiveness for those sins in Jesus! that happens like this:
Romans 10:8-13
But what does it say? "THE WORD IS NEAR YOU, IN YOUR MOUTH AND IN YOUR HEART" that is, the word of faith which we are preaching, 9 that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; 10 for with the heart a person believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth he confesses, resulting in salvation. 11 For the Scripture says, "WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED." 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."
So, why am I still here? Not because I'm so pure or so good, but God leaves us here for your sakes!
Philippians 1:21-24
For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose. 23 But I am hard-pressed from both directions, having the desire to depart and be with Christ, for that is very much better; 24 yet to remain on in the flesh is more necessary for your sake.
