I am not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance. Luke 5:32 ASV

The grace of God is offered to all sinners but His grace does not save sinners. Think about it: why would Jesus die if sinners could be saved? Ezekiel 33:13

We are saved by grace not by our own necessary righteous deeds to become holy like God because no man can pay for the punishment of the original sin. Matthew 7:21, Ezekiel 33:13.

It takes only Jesus to sanctify the holy ones (saints) to God Father and no one else

While we must be obedient to every single iota of the will of God to reach perfection and love one another to be saved, we cannot brandish our total obedience as the reason we qualify to be a citizen of the world to come. Salvation is by belief, faith, or trust in Jesus (John 3:16).

No one can bypass Jesus (YHWH God) and go straight to God the Father for salvation. That is impossible because we all died in the garden of Eden. Jesus [MESSIAH YHWH] is our Lawgiver (Isaiah 33:22). He destroys and saves (James 4:12).

To escape the death sentence, God the Father has offered His Son YHWH God to become Jesus to die in our place so that we do not perish forever but have eternal life in Jesus. Jesus never says that believing in God the Father or any other gives eternal life. Jesus says in many declarations that He is Salvation. As such, to avoid the impending destruction of John 3:16 at the second epiphany of YHWH God (2 Timothy 4:1), we must believe in MESSIAH YHWH Jesus and do exactly as He says.

John 14:4-18 ASv
(4) And whither I go, ye know the way.
(5) Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way?
(6) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.
(7) If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
(8) Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
(9) Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show us the Father?
(10) Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works.
(11) Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
(12) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father.
(13) And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
(14) If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do.
(15) If ye love me, ye will keep my commandments.
(16) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever,
(17) even the Spirit of truth: whom the world cannot receive; for it beholdeth him not, neither knoweth him: ye know him; for he abideth with you, and shall be in you.
(18) I will not leave you desolate: I come unto you.


But we believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in like manner as they. Acts 15:11 ASV

even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved), Ephesians 2:5 ASV

for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Ephesians 2:8 ASV

who saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before times eternal, 2 Timothy 1:9 ASV

For Jehovah is our judge, Jehovah is our lawgiver, Jehovah is our king; he will save us. Isaiah 33:22 ASV

There is one lawgiver, the one being able to deliver and to destroy. But you, and who are you who judges the other? James 4:12

Paradox of impossible salvation with sin or without sin (our own holiness) of Leviticus 20:7-8

If sinners could be saved, there would have been no need for Jesus to die to pay for sins. Ezekiel 33:13-20
If our own necessary holiness could save us, we would not need the holiness (sanctification) of Jesus (His grace) to sanctify (make holy) our own holiness. Ephesians 2:5-8.
