You are saved by faith in Christ alone, no works:
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith--and this not
from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not by works, so that no one can
boast." Ephesians 2:8,9 NIV
Jesus Christ did all of the work of salvation when
He bore the sins (past, present, and future) of the whole world. The only
reason anyone will go to hell (the Lake of Fire) is because they never
believed in Jesus Christ.
The issue is: "What do you think of Christ?":
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son,
that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For
God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save
the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but
whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not
believed in the Name of God's one and only Son." John 3:16-18 NIV
You cannot buy your salvation:
"For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or
gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you
from your forefathers, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb
without blemish or defect." 1 Peter 1:18,19 NIV
Once you are saved, God wants to continue blessing you:
"He who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all--how
will he not also, along with Him, graciously give us all things?"
Romans 8:32 NIV
So how can you get these blessings during your life on earth?
"Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and obey
it." Luke 11:28 NIV
Obviously, to obey you must first hear the Word of God. After you have
believed in Jesus Christ, you should start a daily Bible study program
under the direction of a Pastor-Teacher who teaches from the Bible.
"It was He who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to
be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare God's
people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of
God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of
Christ." Ephesians 4:11-13 NIV.
