8For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8
Like this scripture says God saves people based on their faith which rewards them with his grace. Many religions such as Catholicism which really isn't Christianity, believe that you have to earn your salvation through rituals and rights. Jesus came to save us from the curse of sin and death through the law (old testament sacrifices and laws) since it was weak through the flesh(romans8:2) meaning that that man can't achieve salvation based on his mortal power. Man needs God's spiritual and eternal power to be perfect like him.
