Quote by Timothy Keller
If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to add to God's salvation you subtract. If you try to merit God's salvation you haven't believed at all, even if you try to do a little bit.
Summary

It suggests that any attempts to enhance or earn salvation through personal efforts actually detract from its true meaning and purpose.

It implies that salvation is not a result of human actions, but rather a gift from God to those who wholeheartedly believe.
