Let's Clear things up
Hebrews 11:6
It is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”
Hebrews 6:1
So let us stop going over the basic teachings about Christ again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don’t need to start again with the fundamental importance of repenting from evil deeds and placing our faith in God.
Saved by GRACE - received by FAITH
We do not achieve salvation we RECEIVE salvation
1 John 5:12-13

Jam 4:14
How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog—it’s here a little while, then it’s gone.”

God has entrusted us with time, money, opportunities
Can we be trusted with more?
Luke 16:10
