The consciousness of "what He did for us out of love" may not be at the forefront. What would be at the forefront is that Christ -- GOD in human form -- died for my personal sins and guilt, and shed His blood for the forgiveness of my sins and the cleansing of my soul. Then He rose again for my justification. That I would receive the gift of eternal life.

The order that it occurs in the New Testament is as follows.
1) You believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ
2) Because you believe in Jesus Christ you are given the gift of the Holy Spirit
3) When you receive the Holy Spirit, the gifts of the Holy Spirit should become apparent
4) One of the gifts of the Holy Spirit is love
5) Now you commence your Christian walk
Therefore, one cannot earn salvation, because salvation is a gift granted to those that believe in Jesus Christ.
Love flows from the gift of the Holy Spirit after you believe.

I never expected such a silly response. Jesus said that you should be willing to lose a limb because Hell is so fearful. "But no mention is made of fear". Really silly.

Yes, we do have 2000 years of scripture available to the masses.
Why is that you say?
For many centuries, the public reading of the scripture in church was the practice. It is not how modern churches conduct their services. But it was the way that the early churches performed their service. They recited creeds, and sang doctrinal songs.
When you take a look at the revelation of the Christ and His atonement for us. There is not a lot of information to absorb.
The gospel is simple and many of Paul's letters were also simple letters.
