Don't let the confusion on here discourage you. I think they got to debating and forgot you were the one looking for some answers. The salvation doctrine. Oldest debate on the face of the earth. We are saved by Grace/God's love and favor/ through faith/ that comes from Him too not us/ and not of works/ that means to can't earn it, or work for it if so then it becomes rightfully yours and it is given as a wage for effort and not a gift as God intended it to be for the simple fact no one in the Old testament could keep the law of commandments to be perfect. So today some actually think they can.
You follow Jesus and not man, be still and wait on Him. He has promised to do all things in his time...
