This is a common saying but it is not true when it comes to the salvation in Jesus Christ.
The Bible speaks of Salvation as a free gift rather then something we did for ourselves.
The Apostle Paul tells us in his letter to the Romans “for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Rom. 3:23)
That means that everyone misses the mark in his own deeds. All great and small have missed the mark for all have sinned. He further states that sin has consequences: “the wages of sin is death.” (Rom 6:23)
Paul, who had a personal encounter with Christ, the Saviour of all mankind, concludes: “but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Then back to Romans 3:24, the Bible says, “being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,”
This Gift, my friend, is available to all, by faith. In Romans 10:13, the Bible says, “whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” God is a respecter of no person. His salvation is available to all who will call on His name.
The truth is God will help those who cannot help themselves and will call upon him for salvation in Jesus Christ. Do you know Jesus?
