How do we attain Salvation? (Jesus vs. Paul)

There two answers to this question, one is from Paul and the other is from Jesus himself.

Paul said:…

“A person is not made righteous through the works of the Law, but only through faith in Christ Jesus. We have believed in Christ in order that we be made righteous by faith in Christ and not through the works of the Law; for by works of the Law no person will be justified.”(Galatians 2:16)

“It is the message of faith, which we preach, that if you confress with your lips ‘The Lord Jesus’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and with the mouth confession is made for salvation.”(Romans 10:9)

“For we have come to the conclusion that a man is justified by faith without the works of the Law.”(Romans 3:28)

VS.

Jesus said:

“If you wish to enter into life keep the commandments.”(Matthew 19:17)

“Why do you call Me,’Lord, Lord!’ and do not do what I say? Whoever comes to Me and listens to My words and does them, he resembles a man who built a house; he dug and went down deep and set the foundation on a rock…But who listens and doesn’t do what I say resembles a man who built his house on the ground without foundation.”(Luke 6:46-49)

‘Not everyone who says to Me,’Lord,Lord!’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father(God) in heaven.”(Matthew 7:21)

“Whoever, therefore, abolishes the least significant of those commandments and teaches people to do so, he shall be of the least significance in the kingdom of heaven; but whosoever shall observe and teach them shall be prominent in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you that unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you shall not all enter into the kingdom of heaven.”(Matthew 5:19-20)
