Nope. But even if you live a humble, good life in devotion of God, you still won't go to hell (you won't go to heaven, either). You've gotta make the most of the time you have on this earth.
But not by works like Catholics believe.
AND everything that you do must be for the glory of the Lord.
i.e. You must walk the walk AND talk the talk
Yes, it is VERY hard to do.
I came to Christianity late (early 30's) in life.
But I now know that Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior, and
I know that if what I do glorifies the Lord I will have everlasting life.
I know that He is watching what I do, even typing this post.
I know that when I get to Heaven God wants to see His Son in me.
That's the hard part to strive for.l
