"...in order to trust in Christ for one's salvation, one must completely abandon any trust in one's own goodness or merit. Faith in Christ and a reliance on ourselves, even to the smallest degree, are mutually exclusive."
-- Excerpt from The Discipline Of Grace by Jerry Bridges
That is quite the fundamental difference between Christianity and others. Salvation was a given awaiting acceptance, not alloted based on performance.
