That's simply not true. It's fully in your hands. You must choose to work out your salvation by having faith in and practicing the Ten Words and eventually be "saved" by God "revealing" himself to you, that is to say, "enter the kingdom of heaven."
Here, straight from the "horses mouth," which also addresses your faulty beliefs with regard to being saved by faith, grace or however the actual evangelical phrase goes (emphasis obviously mine):
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."
“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
And so on and so forth, and this is just if I go strictly with Bible, which you claim to adhere to, and set aside my own experiences which are, for obvious reasons, easy to dismiss (even though they confirm what Bible says in those passages to a T).
