Add16:23 to it and it looks like he is simply telling his followers what they must do and what to expect from following him.
But as with everything Jesus said, the more deeply you think on it the more it means.
The way I see it.

Salvation is through Christ, but damnation is purely our fault if we turn from Christ and hang onto our sin, making our sin our Lord. The soul is precious!
Jesus is not telling us that we work for our salvation, for salvation only comes through Him. As believers, we follow Him because the Spirit lives within us, guiding us.
