If you believe your efforts are salvific, then from a Lutheran position it is quite theologically wrong, and completely contrary to Scripture. We do not choose Christ, Christ chooses us; we do not come to God, God comes to us.
As I once heard from a Lutheran many years before I became a Lutheran myself, "God always comes down, we never go up." God comes down to Moses in the burning bush, God comes down to lead the way of the Israelites as a pillar of fire and smoke, God comes down in the Word of the Prophets, God comes down Incarnate in the womb of Mary as our Lord Jesus the Christ, God comes down on Pentecost, God comes down in the proclamation of the Gospel, God comes down in the waters of Baptism, God comes down in the bread and wine of the Supper, and on the Last Day God comes down to renew and restore all things.
Indeed, in the very beginning, when God had planted a garden in Eden and gave it to man to tend, we read that God came down and walked with Adam and Eve.
God always comes down. The direction throughout Scripture is always God coming down to meet us, not us going up to meet Him. God condescends, God meets sinners, God finds us in the wilderness, in our suffering, in our sin, in our death, in our tragedy. God comes down, finds us, meets us, loves us, and rescues us.
We never go up.
