Because God is fully just he cannot accept any sin, even a little. He has to punish it.
Jesus Christ lived the perfectly obedient life ,that we are not even able to live, for us. He then died to pay the penalty for our sins forver.
Romans 4:25 "He who was delivered over because of our transgressions, and was raised because of our justification."
Because of this, Jesus, the Son of God, guarantees eternal life for every single person who believes in Him or puts their faith in Him.
John 5:24 "Truly, truly, I say to you, the one who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life."
John 6:40 "For this is the will of My Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him will have eternal life, and I Myself will raise him up on the last day."
John 11:25-26 "Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; the one who believes in Me will live, even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”"
If you have believed in Jesus Christ, you already have eternal life right now and any good things you are doing are towards your eternal reward from Him(example, treasure in heaven).
