Either "Christian Conservatives" don't know or don't care how much Jesus and the Gospels say about the works which God requires of us in all of the passages which we urge you to read carefully below. But, don't take our word for that. Just read what Conservatives write and listen to what they quote, and you will see that what they really believe and constantly quote is not what JESUS taught about what we must do, but what PAUL taught about was what Christ did for us i.e. :
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast." ( Ephesians 2:8-9 )
"For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of His Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life!" ( Romans 5:10 )
"God . . . saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works but according to his own purpose and grace. This grace was given to us in Christ Jesus before the ages began," { II Timothy 1: 8-10 }
" But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we had done, but according to his mercy, through the water of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life." { Titus 3: 4-7 }
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of god -- not the result of works, so that no one may boast." { Ephesians 2: 8-9 }
"So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace." { Romans 10: 5-6 }
"For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive." ( I Corinthians 15:21-22 )

"And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God." ( 1 Corinthians 6:11) "He saved us, not on the basis of deeds we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit." ( Titus 3:5 )

"For all of you who were united with Christ in baptism have been clothed with Christ." ( Galatians 3:27 )
"In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation - having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory." ( Ephesians 1:13-14 )
"He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him." ( 2 Corinthians 5:21 )
"For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ." ( Romans 5:17 )
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are Justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." ( Romans 3:23-24 )

"And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God." ( 1 Corinthians 6:11 )
"For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out, 'Abba! Father!" ( Romans 8:15 )
'But when the fulness of time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman. born under the Law. in order that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons." ( Galatians 4:4-5 )

"There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." ( Romans 8:1 )
"Blessed by the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ." ( Ephesians 1:3 )
"Since therefore, brethren, we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us through the veil, that is. His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God. let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful." ( Hebrews 10:19-23 )
As a Christian clergyman, I thought I understood what I read in the New Testament until I read the book "The Mythmaker", written by Hyam Maccoby, a Jewish Scholar a man who has a great deal to teach Christians about the Hebrew culture of Jesus of Nazareth and of Paul of Tarsus. "The Mythmaker" argues very forcefully (among many other excellent points) that
when you understand what the Pharisees actually were in Jesus' time, it's impossible to view Jesus as anything but a Pharisee and impossible to accept Paul's claim that he was a Pharisee.
when you understand what the Hebrew Priesthood and the Saducees were all about in Jesus' time, it is most likely that they were Jesus foes;
when you understand the Hebrew religion and politics of the time, that Jesus was killed for political rather than religious reasons;
when you understand the contrasts between Paul and Jesus, that Paul was much more a Saducee than a Pharisee, and that it is his influence that resulted in the Jews and Pharisees being made out to be the villains of the New Testament.
