Classic Christian doctrine would assert that there is nothing we can rightly "do" or even perhaps "believe" in order to attain salvation. It is, however, only by the grace of God and the atonement of Jesus Christ that our sins are forgiven and we are reconciled with the Father.
It is something offered...not earned. If so, we'd all be screwed because we can't NOT sin. Right now, i'm just sitting here. But I'm probably sinning.
Very well put. That's sort of what I tried to say up there. Except I was in a hurry, so it didn't come out exactly right.
Thanks, Ricky.
