My answer would be---"But only by Thy grace."
I respect the right not to believe as I do---I just want to see other people's opinions.

Grace alone through faith in Christ. (Ephesians 2:8-9) Nothing else will pass muster.

I will not have to say much because Jesus is my Savior and He will be with me at the judgment seat of Christ. God will know that by grace I am saved. I will probably be on my knees in tears and telling Him how sorry I am for sinning against Him and thanking Jesus for dying for me and my terrible sins. This was kind of a hard question because we are still here in the flesh living through Jesus Christ, but on that day I am sure nothing in earth can even compare.

I know many feel seperated from God and thereby imagine a day when they will be reunited but that is the illusion of the mind. In truth we are never seperated, we are one with God, that is the oness of Life. Hence the only necessity to salvation is to awaken to the ulitmate "truth" or "awareness".
Your comment "But only by thy grace" is recognizing the inability of understanding that, by use of our mind. The Peace that surpasses all understanding or salvation will not be attained by figuring it out, by use of our mind, but by quieting our mind so our awareness of our true nature can be eventually realized.

The Bible recognises the existence of the Canaanite god Ba'al in several places. The truth is that Christian monotheism originated in the deserts of Egypt which was formerly Polytheist. Hence the early followers were on very close guard for the old influences. In later times the Egyptian ideas were tempered with the ideas of Zoroastrianism with its bi-polar right/wrong mentality which remains the lynchpin of Christian morality to this day. Before that it was simple obedience hence Commandments, Deuteronomy etc.

John 3:16[kjv] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
so when we believe in JESUS we have eternal life.JESUS lived a sinless life and gave up his life as a sacrifice so we can be sin free. Ask JESUS to come into your heart and forgive ur sins and cleanse ur past with his blood.
With a simple prayer like above u can be saved.JESUS loves u and wants u to be saved.

I agree with the supplement that you have given to the question.
I also know that His grace will entitle me to a meeting with a real saint.

Through pure as is truth. Then I would say: Come on God you really did not have anything to do with writing the bible did you?

Should he exist, which I doubt, I will stand before him, with my fiercest mean momma face and ask of him, "By what do you hope to attain my forgiveness? You, who had power and responsibility for all mankind to make disease, pain, sin, and suffering. You, who had the power to love and chose to create horror and sin and punish people for it. By what right have you to ask anything of me but my forgiveness and grace. You, who would call yourself Father and treat your children thus. Excuse me, but I have nothing to be saved from."
