Reformed Christianity offers one path to eternity with God: Christ. We are saved by grace, which is freely given. That’s salvation.
If you know Christ, you’ll try to live according to the law God set out for us, which does include turning away from sin. That’s sanctification. It’s hard. We fail. But if we repent, we are forgiven of all of it.
I don’t have to wear special clothes or turn around three times and pat my head or sacrifice goats or give half my money to the church. Those things won’t save me. Only Christ. And he already did.
Justification and salvation are free gifts, according to the Bible: “... justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.” -Rom 3:24
If Lutherans say God’s love is free and true, they’re right, but I’m just going by what the Bible says.

I’m not scared. I’m free.
