That if you regect him, why you would not go to Heaven, if my child rejected me he wouldnt come home either, but because he chose not to come home. Not because i told him he couldnt. But i have faith, I have been saved, I want to go home, but what if I sin to much and he says I cant? That I was not good enough nomatter how I tried. faith without good works is nothing, good works without faith is nothing, so how much is enough?

Pray for forgivness and you will be recieved

That is the conundrum you face when you tie works to salvation. If you are a believer, and have been saved by the work of Christ on the cross, your sins are already forgiven, all of them, the work is done. Once you are saved, you belong to God, and He will in no way cast you out. Stop trying to work to gain some position with God or appease Him, you don't have to. You are already counted among the brethren, a resident of Heaven. When He looks at you, He doesn't see your faults and your sins, He sees Christ. I advise you to go back and study the Scriptures, especially Romans, Ephesians, Colossians, and the rest of the letters. Stop striving, enter into that rest that was promised, rest from your works and rest in the completed work of Christ.

One of the biggest snares mentioned in the Bible, especially in the teachings of Paul, is trusting in God to save you through the merits of Christ's sacrifice, and then trying to earn His favor by your good works.
It is either one or the other.
Either you earn heaven, or you receive it as a gift through faith.
This is what Paul says:
"What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, discovered in this matter? If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about—but not before God. What does the Scripture say? "Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness."
Now when a man works, his wages are not credited to him as a gift, but as an obligation. However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness."
Romans 4:1-5
When you realize in your heart the goodness of God in saving you through allowing His Son to die for you, you just naturally want to do the things that please Him.
Read the letters of the New Testament, and ask God to teach you.

If my child rejected me I'd assume it's a phase he or she is going through. That's a little number I like to call "being more mature than them".

Makes me think of the parable of The Prodigal Son.

Your heart knows the true answer. There is never enough. We are saved by grace not by good works.

Our God is a God of second chances. You can never sin too much as long as you repent with your heart and accept Jesus as Savior.

I'd like to answer your question, but I'm confused because your question isn't a question, and your additional information doesn't relate to your question. But thanks for asking.
