The Bible is clear. No good works on the part of humans are salvific. We cannot earn our salvation. Salvation is by God s grace, imparted to us because of the perfect work of Christ on the cross, and because of God s love for us.
Eternal life is by grace.
I hope to hear from you soon. No, we are not in the sense that salvation is God s to give, and is given only by his grace. His grace is his grace it is according to his provident, sovereign will a will that we as humans cannot ever fully comprehend. He does not wish that anyone perish, the Bible makes that clear, so it must be in some way that he, in his wisdom and will, makes provision for all.
