am I a good person? Do you go to heaven for being good? works salvation. all have sinned.

Welcome to BIBLEvsLIES.com a ministry of the Pioneer Baptist Church of Cloverland, Washington

"I'm a Good Person"
Summary: A common misconception is that salvation and going to heaven has something to
to do with how good you are and how many good things you do. This idea is absolutely
wrong. The Bible teaches that everyone has sinned, and that works do nothing to earn
favor in God's eyes. Salvation and a home in heaven come only by accepting Jesus Christ
as your personal savior. Jesus Christ paid the price for your sins on the cross, and there is
nothing we can do or need to do to receive salvation except believe on Christ and what he
did.

Before reading further, ask yourself this question: When you die, why would you go to heaven?

If your answer to this question has anything to do with how "good" you are, the good things you’ve done, or the bad things you have not done, then it is a Biblical fact that you are unsaved and bound for Hell ,a place of literal fire and pain, when you die.

The entire theme of the Bible is that mankind is sinful and that the perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ, God’s son, is the only thing that can pay the price for our sin. Salvation is a gift from God. You don’t work for a gift, you simply must have enough faith to accept it.
