Salvation is the Cross

Eternal Life Comes With Belief: John 3:36 

"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on them."

Salvation Through Faith: Romans 6:23 

"For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Titus 3:5
