 We're not saved by good works. We're not saved by what we do. Going to church, reading your Bible, praying, none of these things will get you to heaven. The only thing that gets you to heaven is what Jesus Christ did on the cross on your behalf and on my behalf. See, we are sinners incapable of saving ourselves. God says, well, illustrate it this way. If this is you and me and my wallet, that's our sin.
