Though we may be good citizens outwardly, because of our sinful inner nature, we are all at enmity with GOD (All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, every one, to his own way. Isaiah 53:6) -- we have no peace with GOD.
But GOD so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16) The One True GOD is love manifested in JESUS.
Salvation (freedom) from the condemnation of sin (eternal separation from GOD -- hell) is by the grace of GOD. Redemption is by the grace of GOD only -- not by any amount of good works is a sinner saved. Grace is GOD's undeserved, unmerited favor. It's from GOD's infinite mercy and perfect goodness -- His gracious character -- not at all from any goodness (perceived or real) of the sinner.
