It is such a bizarre and prideful idea, that someone could earn their way to heaven through their behavior. Such a concept is completely foreign to Scripture.
Some people make the claim that one needs to "sin less" to be saved. So how much less sinning does one need to do? How would you even quantify that since the mere thought of foolishness is sin (Proverbs 24:9)? It's a completely absurd man-made idea.
Same goes for doing good. If doing good was tied to salvation, how much good would you have to do? Three nice things a day? Four? Don't you find it funny that scripture never mentions such a thing? Actually if you were to earn heaven you would have to have lived a completely perfect life. Only Jesus ever did that, and He died for you to offer you the FREE GIFT of eternal life based on HIS righteousness. HE gets the glory. Not you.
