Heres the problem: sadly, there are many cults and false religions which teach that you have to work to gain your salvation.

Listen, I dont care who you are or where you are from or what your religious beliefs are, but NOTHING you could ever do will never be sufficient enough to save you. The Bible says that our righteousness are nothing more than filthy rags before God. God's favour cannot be bought by our good deeds, but our good deeds are bloodsoaked, filthy rags tainted by sin before a holy, righteous and perfect God.

The Bible says:

Isaiah 64:6

New King James Version

6 But we are all like an unclean thing,

And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags;

We all fade as a leaf,

And our iniquities, like the wind,

Have taken us away.

And also

Romans 8:8

and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

There is only one thing which is pleasing to God, and that is the perfect sacrifice of His precious son Jesus Christ.

We have all broken the law, and the wages of sin is death

(Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord)

but the blood of Christ paid our debt and redeemed us by dying on the cross to pay our sin debt with His precious sinless blood, He was buried, and 3 days later, Jesus arose from the dead victoriously, conquering sin and death so that by putting our faith and trust in the finished work of Christ and in who He is, by faith alone, in Christ alone, we can be saved.

By faith alone in Christ alone, we can be reconciled to God and stand justified before God through the finished work of Christ.

It is only your faith in what Christ has done for you to save you that is sufficient enough to save you.

Jesus Christ upheld the law perfectly and He fulfilled the law and the prophets of old.

Jesus Christ calls us to repent from our sins and follow Him and put our faith and trust in Him.

Right, I want all of you to listen, and I want you to listen well.

This is the basics of the doctrine of the Trinity 101.

God is one being consisting of 3 distinct, simultaneous, co-equal, co-eternal persons:

God the Father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit.

God is not made of parts and He cannot be divided, as God does not consist of parts nor components.

If you do not believe the truths contained in this meme, you do not understand the doctrine of the Trinity!

To deny the personhood of the Holy Spirit is to fall into heresy.

The Holy Spirit is NOT a force that is impersonal. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity.

Amen. Regardless of what you are going through, NOTHING can surpass Gods grace for you even when things are at their darkest. I am reminded of Paul's thorn in His flesh where Paul was tormented. He pleaded with God three times to remove it, but God said "my grace is sufficient for you". While we in our flesh are weak, in Christ, we are strong because His strength is made perfect in our weaknesses.

This is a direct fulfilment of Isaiah 53.
