To say you are saved because you did anything is to rob God of His glory: "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags" (Is. 64:6). The Belgic Confession expresses this most eloquently:
"And verily, if we should appear before God relying on ourselves or on any other creature, though ever so little, we should, alas! be consumed" (Isa. 33:14; Deut. 27:26; James 2:10).
Trust in Christ alone. And render Him due praise for what you could never have done of yourself.
It's my belief that G*d has given us freewill and we must make a conscious decision to accept Jesus into our heart.
