God's love for us saves us, but God doesn't save us unless we also become like Him by loving others. God's love opens the gates of heaven to us. But we have to walk the narrow road to enter into the Kingdom.

Thank God my salvation does not depend on my ability (or inability) to do anything, but only upon the finished work of Christ upon the cross.
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)... For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." -- Ephesians 2:1;4-5;8-10"And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins...
"For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?" -- 1 Corinthians 4:7
God's love opens the gates of heaven to us. But we have to walk the narrow road to enter into the Kingdom.
