It was the shed blood of the Perfect God that could cover sin for the believer, anything less than that would not have taken away sin. This is why our good works will not keep us saved, they are simply not good enough. Only if we are covered in the blood of Christ will we go to heaven.
Anyone who is working to stay good enough weren't good enough in the first place and cannot stay something they never were in the first place.
If you think you are doing well enough in the keeping of your salvation then perhaps you never trusted Christ and could not have believed Him when He said, "it is finished" while He was on the cross.
The only way to know if you are born again, is if you have stopped trusting in your own good works to keep you saved and begin trusting Him for salvation to begin with. Only He can be good enough to save us and keep us.
