We cannot gain our salvation through good works because our best works are not good enough to outweigh our sins.
Salvation is a gift from God, received only through faith in Christ, not good works (Ephesians chapter 2 verses 8-9).

Are you saying that since it is a gift, it's not an offer, and we don't have to place any sort of a claim on it? Or choose it? Or have the option of refusing it? Or lose it, it's really ours to keep?
Then I think this to be a question with profound insight as to what faith really is, and you've given all of the glory to God instead of splitting it between God and man. That's real Christianity.

Yes. I would like a nice gift from France of 3,000 bottles of their finest Bordeaux region wines.

Faith without works is dead. So, believing is NOT enough.
Jesus said, 'take up your cross and follow Me'. That shows believers need to act on their faith.

I have it. I received it at my baptism when I was a few weeks old. God's grace is amazing. Thanks for asking.
