Certainly good people go to heaven. That is true. But who defines good? God does. How is it defined? As perfection. Are you perfect?
Yes... if you are good enough... meaning, if you are perfect. That's God's standard... perfection. Have you ever broken any of God's laws or commands? How many lies have you told? Have you ever taken something that does not belong to you? Has there ever been anything more important than God to you? God says, “All have sinned.” That means you have sinned... and deserve the just punishment... but there is an answer...
Jesus. There is no other answer.
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." - Romans 3:23
"The wages of sin is death... - Romans 6:23a
"All liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death. - Revelation 21:8
"...but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord - Romans 6:23b
"God demonstrates his own love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. - Romans 5:8
"Therefore having been justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." - Romans 5:1
Faith does not mean a bind faith. It is a faith based in solid, historical facts:
"Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and He was buried, and He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and He appeared to Cephas (Peter), then to the twelve. After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me (Paul) also." - 1 Corinthians 15:3-8
It is a historical fact, Jesus Chris died, and three days later rose from the dead. His resurrection proves there us life after death. Life that we can have with Him.

You cannot hide anything from God, and you can't hide from God:
'Can a man hide himself in hiding places So I do not see him?' declares the LORD 'Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?' declares the LORD. - Jeremiah 23:24
Imagine you have an SD card in your head that records every thought and dream. We record for a month and then rent a theater. All your friends are invited as we play that SD card on the big screen. How would you feel?
That's what God sees. He is disgusted and knows that because of your sin (those thoughts we all see on the big screen) you will never be with God. But God still loves you, and He made an incredible sacrifice for you. He died in your place.
You have a choice. Reject God... and get what you say you want... you'll spent eternity separated from God. And that means separated from EVERYTHING that is good. Think about that.
Or accept the gift God offers... trust that Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay the penalty you've earned (remember those thoughts on the SD card). Jesus paid your penalty in full. It is finished
There is no darkness or deep shadow Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. - Job 34:22
