"Stand fast therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage." Gal. 5:1
Some publicly profess faith in Jesus Christ but lack the joy and freedom that comes from having been born again and baptized into a life of freedom from keeping the law; a thing that no one can successfully accomplish by working for it.
The day you received Jesus into your heart and were born again you became a new creature in God's sight with all your sins paid for an forgiven.
This is why the apostle Paul wrote the Christians in Galatia and told them to stand fast in the liberty that their trust in and acceptance of Christ had resulted in complete forgiveness of their sin.
Satan does not want anyone to believe this.
For that reason, Paul admonished those whom he wrote to live as new creations in Christ, and avoid becoming entangled with trying to "earn" salvation by their works.
A gift is received; not earned.
Accept God's promise that you have been purchased by His Son, and forever you are FREE!
