We are FREE SPIRITUALLY!! And it is a GIFT!!
Romans 5:17 King James Version
17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:17 J.B. Phillips New Testament
17 For if one man’s offence meant that men should be slaves to death all their lives, it is a far greater thing that through another man, Jesus Christ, men by their acceptance of his more than sufficient grace and righteousness, should live all their lives like kings!
If you could earn it, it would not be free.
