But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
This verse looks like God does not see anything in us. It looks like God wants us to have His amazing love. God saves us for His own Glory through His Love.
We can not earn this gift of God.
But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Once we are saved we will have good works as a evidence we are save. Our good works will not save us. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work. (Titus 1:16)
