For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9 NIV
As humans we have a tendency to believe that we 'work harder' at something than someone else, therefore we are more deserving of a reward. We get especially upset when someone is promoted or praised because of work they didn't do. How then would we feel if we had to work our way into heaven and someone else got in that we felt didn't deserve to be there?
God's answer is that his grace is a gift, freely given to all who ask and believe in him. God's in this business to bring mankind back tonhim, to restore what sin took away. He's not interested in how hard you work. He's interested in your faith and in your soul.
Let his grace set you free and accept his gift of eternal life.
