Ah. Now I understand. A little communication does go a long way, yes?

NO. Jesus Christ paid my ransom from sin and death centuries before I
was
born. How could I have done anything to cause that to happen?

These answer the question:

"And this is eternal life: to know you, the only true God, and the one
whom
you sent-Jesus Christ." Joh 17:3

"So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes by the
preaching
of Christ." Rom 10:17

"Although he was a Son, he learned obedience through what he suffered;
and
being made perfect he became the source of eternal salvation *to all
who
obey him*." Heb 5:8

"Keep on struggling to enter through the narrow door. For I tell you
that
many people will try to enter but won't be able to." Luke 13:24

"For many are invited, but few are chosen." Matt. 22:14

God gets no joy from seeing people serve Him out of fear of punishment,

coercion, or any other reason than LOVE. In fact, God IS love. (1
John
4:8)

No one can endure on their own. Either way, salvation is *yet future*
in Christ's statement.
