It's true we can't save ourselves without Christ, our salvation is found only in Christ and Him alone. It's a slogan or catch-cry used to emphasise that we aren't saved by our own good works. In that context it is correct. But this catch-cry can so easily and wrongly be thrown around , that it becomes unscriptural. The idea that salvation has nothing at all to do with us? How scriptural is that?
Scripture says:
Act 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
Yes, we do in fact save ourselves by trusting in Christ (yes, repent in there too, if you want to be picky), and then He saves us. Two-way relationship, not one-way.
