Can my Good Works Save me ?

Read a recent article about salvation in Jesus Christ which has a intricate yet an open ended discussion on the subject of "SALVATION"

From Ages, n number of philosophers , religious leaders, hermits and modern gurus have tried to answer a way back question " What must i do to attain salvation?" ( A question which has been pondered upon by each one of us at some point of time in our life.) but none have reached to a satisfactory axiom.

As a child the answer seems to be simple and understandable in terms of chapters of moral science but as we grow older its complexity increases by many folds and we always seem to be in doubt about it

Defining Good Works
If the defination is left to us, we the individuals then just can't come to a common conclusion; as what may seem be good to one may not be good according to another

How many fill the Pot ?
Another problems arises as to how many good works are required for attaining salvation and how could one keep a count of it and above all what if the good works done by us are not worthing in the eyes of God?

Eliminating the Bad Deeds
Can we still attain salvation if our good works are greater in number then the bad ones? If what matters is just the end figure this would give a license to many of us to do bad deeds and then get them erased by good ones. More over the defination of a bad work is also equally ambigious as a good one.

Probabality of good works
Our work reveal what we are; rather than what we could make out of us. If our works could make us good, then we would not need God.
