Just get over it already... For by grace you have been saved by faith... Grace gave you the Cross ... You now have to save yourself-

You can't do both. Either I am saved by faith or I save myself

But nobody CAN save themselves.

The only one who can forgive a debt is the one to whom it is owed. The good works that I do or try to do cannot pay the penalty I owe for my sin, which is death.

There is no way to have the record of debt I owe God for my sin canceled except that it be forgiven by Him.

And when He forgives, it's forgiven.

Psalm 103:12 .... as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

[narses]

But lay up to yourselves treasures in heaven: where neither the rust nor moth doth consume, and where thieves do not break through, nor steal.

[stonehouse01]

You can do both and You Must

...’The only one who can forgive a debt is the one to whom it is owed.

Jesus gave the debt for mankind -

He did not give us a Free Pass!!
