As @JohnsonJones pointed out, we all have this same power for nothing but faith. Does that spoil and ruin us?

God gives us our immortal lives for free, and eternal salvation to all for nothing but humility and repentance. Not to mention the air we breathe, food, raiment, intelligence, skill, etc., etc. Are we spoiled in that? Does it ruin our souls that these gifts are freely given to all?

We do not work hard to earn our salvation. We work because we love God and He asks us to. He rewards us if we are faithful and repentant. We earn nothing, and the gift given is free.

Agree. Nothing we receive is earned. We live by God’s grace alone.
