Part 2 of 3 However, if you are talking about did we do anything to merit salvation? The answer is no we did not because our own self righteousness will not get us into heaven, Titus 3 5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost This is why you need to do more than just believe and live right. The devils believe and tremble, James 2 19. We have to take it a step further and follow Acts 2 38. Our own righteousness is as a filthy rag, Isaiah 64 6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags and we all do fade as a leaf and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away .
