Esther Rolle did many good works, there is no denying that. But the Bible says, "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." you must accept Jesus Christ into your heart as Lord and Savior to get into Heaven. He is the only way and says in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man commeth unto the Father, but by me."

Although Good Times was successful, Rolle fought for more relevant themes and scripts, and was unhappy when the success of Jimmie Walker's character J.J. took the show in what she though frivolous direction. As a result, actor John Amos, who played the role of the father, James Evans though actually 20 years younger than Rolle, ultimately left the show. Later on, in a stand-off with Good Times producer Norman Lear, Rolle ... quit when her contract concluded. Although the series continued without her for a time, she returned for the show's final season.[1]
