You cannot be saved by being a 'good person':
"For by grace are ye saved through faith...Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8a-9)
"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." (John 14:6)
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;" (Romans 3:23)
"For the wages of sin is death..." (Romans 6:23a)
"...fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." (Matthew 10:28b)
Jesus died on the cross for your sins:
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
And then He rose from the dead, conquering death:
"Him God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;" (Acts 10:40)
"...by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life." (Romans 5:18)
"...the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23)
But just like any gift, it doesn't become yours until you receive it. To receive God's gift of eternal life you must call on the name of the Lord:
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." (Romans 10:13)
Time is growing short and you should not put off your decision. The Bible tells us:
"(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time;
behold, now is the day of salvation.)" (2 Corinthians 6:2)
