Revelation 7:10 KJV
And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
Our salvation can be ascribed to God alone, and unto the Lamb. Salvation comes from no work we have done or ever can do. The context concerns those who have gone through great tribulation.
Perhaps they lost their lives for the cause of Christ
Perhaps they witnessed for the Lord in a time when witnessing was punishable by death
Perhaps they endured unspeakable tortures for the name of Jesus
But when they stand before the throne of God they know that salvation is utterly a work of the Almighty and nothing to do with what they had gone through in the earth.
We must remember we lean only on the Lord. He has a work for us to do. We are each called upon to sacrifice in unique ways. We will accomplish either more or less than another in our life. But all of that is of little consequence in heaven.
There we will know all glory belong only to God.
