If you live a good, moral life, you'll end up where you're supposed to.
In that, you are saying that you can "do good" yourself into heaven. If that is the case then Jesus died for nothing.
In reality, there are none who can merit going to heaven without Jesus' righteousness imparted upon us None! It's the work of the cross not our own good works. No matter what you (or I) do, we will never be good enough to go.
Romans 3:23 NIV ..... for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Isaiah 64:6 ...... But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousness [good works] is as filthy rags
Amen. That hits the nail on the head. Good reply.
"Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life." (Prov 4:23)
