It is not in The Bible as such but part of Protestant theology.
The general idea is that those who are to be saved are already pre-chosen. The "normal" way to "identify" if someone is pre-chosen is to examine what works or good deeds they do. These good deeds are the reason why God, in his infinite wisdom, would have chosen that person for entry. This is called a Covenant of Grace. Of course, not everyone who does good deeds is necessarily one of the pre-chosen because of some other defect or future misdeed that is to be counted. These people, who in life appear as good as the pre-chosen are actually not chosen. This is called a Covenant of Works.
