Jesus Christ did all there was to do, that means that He shed every drop of blood, which was the requirement for the payment of sin. It was only the blood of the Perfect Lamb that could pay the debt we owed.
It makes no sense that anyone would think that they are keeping their salvation by "being good", when being good wasn't enough to gain them that salvation. They could not shed their own blood because their blood was tainted with sin.
Christ was the only One Who could do a work on our behalf and that was through the shedding of His blood. Our blood is nothing, it cannot save, it cannot pay for anything, it is tainted with sin. If the shedding of our blood can do nothing then how much less any other works we would do.
Hebrews 9:22 "22 According to the Law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness."
Ephesians 1:7-8 " 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace, 8 that He lavished on us with all wisdom and understanding."
