There is a difference between looking at what Christ did as being a GIFT, and as being OWED once you Believe.
There are going to be many who have deceived themselves over the issue of Grace.
How do I know?
Revelations gives us an example on Judgement Day of those who thought they were Believers and did things in Christ Name like preach/teach/miracles and Christ ultimately states to them, "I never knew YOU, Depart from ME

Are you connected with Manifested Sons of God? Your writings remind me of their quest.
I believe in Sonship. But, the foundation must be secure to build on or it will topple in the end, and destroy the one whose desire might be pure, but cannot ever attain to. The scripture comes to me now that it’s in seeing Him, that we become like Him, for we see Him as He is.
finding...
1Jn 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.
1Jn 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
1Jn 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
1Jn 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
1Jn 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
1Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
There’s a lot said in these words but unless we are reading through the finished work of Jesus and His atoning blood, one can truly misunderstand.
In the new birth, the bent to sin of our human nature is put to death instantly and we are born again. Our desires change. And as babes who will stumble, we will continue changing as challenges rise.
The changes come when we look back to the Cross and realize, it’s been done, victory comes and we can exclaim with Paul out of Romans 8, thank God for Jesus Christ!
Change will always be from our eye sight. Looking to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.
Believing God about His Sons sacrifice for each of us personally, is what pleases Him. Even to the point of Him granting our requests.
True?
