I have done nothing to deserve heaven, I was born a sinner and deserved to be eternally separated from You. However, Jesus knew I would be in this situation and loved me so much that He took my punishment. He washed my sins away, I accepted the fact that there was nothing that I could do and accepted His free gift. In one word my answer is JESUS!!!
For those who have not receive Jesus Christ as Savior, death means everlasting punishment. However, similar to the destiny of believers, unbelievers also seem to be sent immediately to a temporary holding place, to await their final resurrection, judgment, and eternal destiny.
For the believer in Jesus Christ, the Bible tells us that after death believers’ souls/spirits are taken to heaven, because their sins are forgiven by having received Christ as Savior. For believers, death is to be “away from the body and at home with the Lord”.
This bible verse is written to Christians 2 Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, yes, well pleased rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord. So yes if you are a Christian you will be in a better place. The problem with being a non-Christian is that since God is absolutely holy, He cannot be in the direct presence of sinful creatures. Therefore, all who are sinful must be separated from God and cannot be allowed to enter into His home (heaven). Hell is the place where these people must go, away from the presence of God. Jesus Christ died on the cross to pay for your sins and then after 3 days in the grave he rose from the dead to prove that he was God. Your sins are paid for. The unforgiveable sin is not accepting God’s gift of salivation by accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Pray the sinner’s prayer.
Dear Lord Jesus, I admit that I am a sinner and I am in need of You and Your forgiveness. I want to turn from my sins and follow You completely. I believe that You are the Son of God who died on the cross for me and all my sins; You were buried, rose to life again and You are coming back. I accept the Father's gift of eternal life through faith and belief in You alone. I receive You as Lord and Savior of every part and area of my life forever and ever. Now Lord, fill me with Your Holy Spirit.
In Jesus Name.
Amen
It is not the prayer that saves you it is Jesus Christ.

I am silent. There is no reason at all. There is absolutely no reason but the will of God for my entry into heaven.
I've heard promises by religions, but I don't think they are reliable.
hehe ... this is not how it works.
-- there is a Judgement Day
God sits on His great white throne ... to JUDGE.
christians will stand in one group, unbelievers in a separate group.
the name of every unbeliever in written in the Book of the Dead vs Book of Life [christian].
Judgement is done on earth ... NOT at the gates of heaven.
we all must make our choice NOW ... in our living years NOT after you're dead .

I'll just hand him a warrant and tell him to stand aside as I push past.
Last I checked, that's not really how it works...
But I would shrug. "What, you're going to let everyone else in, but not me? Pshaw. Nice one, God."
I would recite his own words at Psalm 37:29.
Because you already know I'm here to overthrow you. Sure you can prevent that from happening but I wanted to be upfront about it and see what you say.

I'd say " God I've read the bible honestly. You're a mass murder of babies. Come closer so I can give you justice."
