SUMMING UP...
Briefly speaking, Adam and Eve sinned and from there the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23). All of us from there are doomed to die (eternal death).
Christ came as a man and died for us, paying the price of death.
"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
And now He offers us the salvation of grace, without charging anything. Even because nothing we did could pay the price for salvation (the price of sin).
We obtain, accept, get hold of, this salvation by faith. Through faith we accept this salvation that has been given to us freely.
"8 For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God." Ephesians 2: 8 - And as we read, according to the Bible, even our faith is the gift of God,
But our faith has to bear fruit. The acceptance of this grace, of the salvation of grace that Christ gives us, has to change our lives, if we are bad, we become good, if we are rough we become loving.
This love of Christ that we accept, leads us to love our neighbor and to want to do good things for him, at last we become a new Creature. An example of this was the apostle John who from son of thunder became a loving disciple.
We began to do good works not to save us, but because we accepted the grace of Christ and it changed our lives.
We are saved by grace, but judged by our works.
"... and the books were opened; and another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by the things that were written in the books, according to their works. "Revelation 20:12
