That is what Jesus preached.
GT, in love, how do you EVER get that it is right to try to earn grace?
What do you say to those who "fall short" when trying to do more than God has already done? There is only damnation and failure when we try to do what has been completed. Jesus said, "It is finished!"

Grace is that we don't have to get circumcised, adhere to a special diet, observe special days, and do various external washings, and sacrifice animals.
What ever possessed you to think we are saved by NOT obeying God, or not obeying is to obey?

You know this then, remember.
Amen and amen
Last I checked, I am not God. I don't believe anyone here is, either. I cannot do more than God has done. I do not wish to try. Why are you trying so hard to earn grace?

It is a good thing that Noah performed works because of faith and showed us how it is supposed to be done.
Hebrews 11:7 7 By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith. |

What?
Jesus tells us what to do.
Where do you get that it would make you God to be a servant to God?
What do you mean why am I trying so hard?
Jesus says it is light, easy, and not burdensome.
Exactly how much must we "do" in order to earn salvation? How many works are required? Are they measurable?
Because she is a pit dweller, and desires the company of other prideful boasters and deniers of Rom 5:18-19.

You trust Jesus.
He tells you what to do.
He will save you when he accepts you.
You are not supposed to give up or give out or given in.

That is close to what the verse is stating, but it goes deeper than that.
Ephesians 2:8 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: |
The word gift is a specific Greek word, g1435 δῶρον dōron, in 17 times out of the 19 times it is found in the New Testament it is referring to offering sacrifices to God in the Temple.
(one exception is Revelation 11:10, the other possible exception is this verse)
Also, the Greek does not state that it is a gift from God; The phrase used is for a gift that belongs to God.
Paul is stating that our salvation is a gift that God has given to Himself because we have found favor in His sight (Grace) through our faith.

There are people who repent of their sins and get put in Hell for it?

Ask God and let Him tell you whether you are being a good and faithful servant or not.
