So many people think that being saved by the Lord is something that we do but it isn't at all. If we could save ourselves or anyone we would have the power of God and we don't. When the Lord saves us it is a free gift that we are given that we did not earn. We can't earn it because the knowledge of sin was brought to us.
We can, however, damage ourselves to we are unfit to receive salvation.
When we labor to live without sin we are blessed. As the Jews have proven it makes us smarter, wealthier, better educated, helps our families be stronger, and gives many blessings. But it does not earn us salvation, that is God's gift to us if God chooses to give it to us.
