Titus 3v4-7
But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to His own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that being justified by His grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

We are heirs to eternal life only by the grace of our God through Christ’s death and resurrection. And in the resurrection His Spirit, His power was made available to those who believe and follow Him. We owe Him all the glory and we must realize this life isn’t the end all be all, it is really just the beginning.
