In John 3:16, Jesus said, "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life." And in Matthew 5:48, he said, "Be perfect, just as your heavenly Father is perfect." Once we believe in Jesus, we don't become perfect right away. So to make heaven, believing in him is required and becoming perfect should be our goal. The Christian life now looks like this: We continue to sin and then repent and ask for God's forgiveness each time, in hope that we'll sin less and less. Sadly, many seeming good people are not even interested in taking that first step of believing in Christ.
