Can't inherit Salvation

How to recieve it ? 

He said to them, Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. Once the owner of the house gets up and close the door, you stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Sir, open the door for us. "ButHe will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from. Luke 13:24,25

Finding Salvation requires more concentrated effort than most people are willing to put forth. Obviously we cannot save ourselves---there is no way we can work ourselves into God's favor. 

The effort we must put out "to enter through the narrow door" is earnestly desiring to know Jesus and diligently striving to follow Him whatever the cost. 

We dare not put off making this decission because the door will not stay open forever.
