Jehovah’s Witnesses: How do you get eternal life?

Which of the following statements about eternal life is closest to your views?

(1) Being saved & staying saved (i.e., having Eternal life) depends on avoiding bad works and doing enough good works. A person who doesn’t meet Jehovah’s righteous expectations has no hope of living forever in paradise earth.

(2) Good works are the necessary evidence (fruits) of a genuine saving faith. In other words, God doesn’t maintain some sort of naughty & nice list when it comes to determining who gets eternal life. Salvation depends totally on accepting Jesus, not on good works.

1 John 5:13 says that Christians must KNOW that we have eternal life. If your view about salvation is number 1, please explain to us how many works of righteousness Jehovah requires in order to earn a spot in paradise earth. Obviously, no Christian is perfect. So if I am 94 percent righteous and six percent sinful, will Jehovah overlook the six percent failure rate?

This question might sound nitpicky, but seeing as how scripture tells us that we should KNOW that we are saved with absolute clarity, it seems that a precise standard is needed.

Can you tell us what standard that is?
