The only thing I did for salvation was have faith, hear and believe. The Spirit convicts us.
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Galatians 2:16 know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. And we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.

you relocked it alright.
Every step of faith is by His grace..!
1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV
[10] But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Salvation is not a wage, it is a gift.
We can try to weld all we want, if we do not have the power of God. our welds will always be bad, and we will never recieve a wage, The master will cast us out of his abode and into the fire for never being able to be a welder.
But hey, I guess you tried your whole life to be a welder. I guess that has to account for something huh?? (just asking)

Rom 5:2
By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
Do you understand Paul is teaching our faith accesses grace. How can we have grace without faith. Faith is always first, accessing grace.
Please stop picking at what others post without understanding what is said. It is not correct in the sight of the Father.
Good bye..

Let us talk about the model of who a christian is. Is he a robot, who has bad control ability, and must continually make sure the Spirit guides him, nothing can be done because the believer thinks it is a good idea that is earning salvation?
Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
Matt 18:19
This is called empowerment.
I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven
Matt 16:19
This is called authority.
God empowers us to do things as part of the Kingdom, because we are new creations.
Have you ever sat back and let God love through you like a possessed doll, or is it you loving empowered by God?
The model I see here is children of the Kingdom exercising what has been written on their hearts as members of the Kingdom. They are not earning anything by action, they are doing because they are part of Jesus's people. My impression is you guys feel this idea is so alien to your experience it cannot be right. But this is not a problem of theology it is a problem of your experience.
