I don't have to "do" anything. All I need to do is to accept the gift given to me by Jesus.
No one has to "do" anything to get to go to Heaven.
None of us "deserve" to live in Heaven. However, God provided a way for all of us be there.

I follow his commandments and do His biddings to the best of my ability. I remain humble and contrite of heart when I approach him in prayer.
I don't know if I deserve to live in paradise. His judgment upon me is yet to come.
In His Love,
J.

God does not need any favors from anybody or any deeds to give us a place in paradise.We make our own hell or.paradise right here on this Earth by our own actions.

We can't do anything to make ourselves deserve living in heaven.
God opened the doors to heaven when we were still sinners, and all we have to do is believe and turn away from our sin and the darkness in our lives and he will make us ready to go there.
Acts 26:15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;
17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,
18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

if you do something for someone expecting to get something back, the whole purpose of the good deed is lost.
a good deed is done becuse of the willingness of a person to help other just for the satisfaction of helping.

Nothing. If it happens it will be by His grace. I can never do enough to earn my way in.

I don't have to do anything for Him, in order to be in His Presence; faith is sufficient.
I have faith in Him, because of everything He has already done for me.

We aren't saved by works, but by salvation.
