Yes Christ opened he door to heaven, and we must walk through the door by following God’s will with our faith and doing good works that please Him. That is earning it the hard way with His graces by loving God and our neighbor.

But Jesus told us that His yoke was easy and His burden was light.

Claiming that salvation is hard makes Jesus out to be a liar.

It's actually those who teach that salvation is hard who are the liars.

If you don’t work, you can’t accomplish God’s will.

Sure you can. You can believe and trusting Him pleases Him more than trusting ourselves.

I have a problem with both the saved by faith and saved by works crowds,

One crowd brings a picture of rituals while both crowds brings a picture of stabbing people in the back and throwing garbage in the neighbors yards.

The first crow will go and confess to a priest while the other crowd will say ha ha ha I am saved by faith so go sit on it.
