Because Jesus said that He was the way to heaven, and any trying to enter is any other way is a thief and a robber.
So no. "There is none good but God."

You have set yourself an impossibility. No one can be good all the time. We are born into a world where the social order is contrary to God's will. While perfection would, in theory, lead to salvation, all fall short.
Picture a pair of cliffs ten feet apart with a rope strung across the tops. A number of people try to make it across on bicycles. Some make it four feet, some make it seven feet, some make it 9-1/2 feet, but no one is able to make it all the way across. All fall into the chasm and are destroyed.
Now picture Jesus with a rope on the other side. He reaches out with it as the riders approach. All they have to do is grasp onto it and let Jesus pull them the rest of the way. That is why we must accept Jesus to be saved.

Part of it. You also have to accept Jesus.
I don't like the typical protestant answer because If all you have to do is accept Jesus, admit your a sinner and ask his forgiveness then after you have completed that you can go out and commit any kind of sins you want and all is forgiven in advance. No I don't think so. You have to at least try to live a good life otherwise your profession of faith is meaningless.

Being good will reward yourself in body, spirit, and soul. Going to heaven is according to Bible, only through Jesus because He took our sins on the cross.
If you do sin in the body your body will get affected, so you will get diseases depending upon the sin. body cannot enter into the Heaven. The spirit will go to the Lord God who created and blown His spirit into the body.
The soul will be in Heaven or Hell according to the deeds.
If any one is IN THE LORD JESUS, there is no condemnation according to The Bible.
For being in the Lord, you need to accept and believe the Lord Jesus is the Son of God and He died for our sins and follow Jesus Christ as far as you can. Rest of the things He will fulfill.
For more details please read The Bible fully.

people who % him even in the face of ridicule persecution and dying, a highway can't get any narrower, and further extra Jesus replied, "in case you desire to be ideal, flow, sell your possessions and supply to the poor, and you ought to have treasure in heaven. Then come, stick to me. what number of so noted as Christians do you think of accompanied that commandment? yet many Christians could say then how can we feed ourself? then the bible could say , GOD will feed you like he fed the 5000 with some fish in case you extremely provide your existence over to Jesus then Jesus will safeguard it ( that's the factor of being a born back Christian ). << this would not sound like a path anybody could desire to take that is why that's narrow , provided that's an ordinary yet no longer ordinary existence to stick to because of the fact it calls for self sacrifice, ( that's what Jesus meant while he mentioned take on your bypass and stick to Me.

No.
You must believe God's son.
I guarantee you, because I know for a fact that none of the people believes God's son.
To my knowledge there's not even an angel who believes God's son.
I'm not guessing.
No angel or any of the people knows for certain who God's son actually is. They are assuming they know.
I know, because I know for a fact that Jesus Christ isn't actually God's son as many believes.
Jesus Christ for a fact is the father, not the son. The father appeared in the image of his son. He wasn't actually his son.
You must believe God's son.
The bible warns that it isn't God who you must believe, it is his ons who you must believe. Also, the bible warns, being good isn't enough, because you must also believe his son.
By the way. How many of you believes what I have just explained?

Being good helps but not Guarantees.
Being good is like a vacuum cleaner, it clears upper dust. If dirt is deep rooted some other tools r required.

Yes, if the goodness is written in your heart. (Romans 2:11-16)
Jesus himself says those that love him are the ones that obey him also, his disciples. (John 13:34-35.)

There will be many "good" people in hell along with the evilest to have ever lived. Salvation comes from faith in Christ to save you - no amount of good will get you into heaven
