It is interesting that "you" tend to despise Christianity for being so totally focused on salvation and not "going on" then come back with "we cannot add to it or take away from it" as a response to the notion that our response to salvation should be obedience to the one who saved us.
You are for going on when it you compare it to the sometimes over-focus on salvation at the expense of anything else, then despise anything else if it involves actually doing anything.

OBW,
even our sanctification is by the Spirit, Galatians 3:3 "Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?"
We do not believe that "good" after salvation will "just happen". We focus on God's economy, enjoying Christ, prayer, the Word, the ministry, the church, functioning and service, all opportunities for the Spirit to grow in us and sanctify us.
