If I am saved by any other means apart from grace, then I cannot be eternally saved. For I have found myself incapable of being perfect according to any standard. I believe that if one was to tell me that in order to be saved, all I must "do" is refrain from punching my hand into a brick wall, I would eventually seal my doom by smashing my hand into the wall regardless of the harm I would inflict upon myself. O how glorious the saving grace of God through what His Son did for me and you on the cross! Now I am not bound to smash my hand!
"Now then, why do you try to test God by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? No! We believe it is through the grace of our Lord Jesus that we are saved, just as they are."
- Peter, Acts 15:10-11
