Ephesians 2:4-10 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved-- and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Notice that we don't do anything to gain our own salvation. He, because of His great love, saves us by His grace. So what is our part? Believe in Him (that's faith) and love Him (including walking in the good works that He has prepared for us). Oh yes, one more thing: Be thankful for all that He has done for you.
