By the sin of disobedience of one perfect man Adam, mankind came to be in the bondage of sin and death. To salvage man, a sacrifice was needed to be done by another perfect man - i.e. Jesus - who had to die a sinless death. By virtue of Jesus's obedience even till death, salvation was achieved for man by Jesus. This is God's magnificent provision for man's salvation.
Salvation through means - we have to belive in this magnificent provision of God.
Yes, promised "everlasting life is true" - No one is given immortal life on earth. Jesus himself promised life in paradise to the thief who died with him. In paradise we know, when it is established, there will be everlasting life.
If one wants salvation, then ONE SHOULD BELIEVE
Ps: very good question.

Hi,
Salvation means your after life, if you believe in God & that Jesus is his son, you will be saved, no scripture no books can proove to you that unless you try to read it by your self and start mediatating, it does not come like that especially if you did not have a background since childehood, of course sometimes God speaks to men, but in general cases, you need to read the bible many times and meditate and one by one God will speak to your heart and you will have the sead of believing growing up by it self in you will start to have faith by yourself and you will be sure without any proof, of course we all have doubts we are human beings, but with prayers faith becomes strong and steady!

Have you ever wondered about the reason of our existence? Have you ever wondered why we die, and where we go after death? What will happen to us in the end? Have you ever asked yourself why God made the earth and all that is in it under man’s dominion? Why were the night and the day, and the sun and the moon created? What are we supposed to do during our lifetime? Were we created just to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves before we die? As one poet put it:
“I do not know whence I have come.
I saw my feet walking on the road.
As they please I go and stop.
What am I doing here?
How did the road find me?
I do not know! I do not know! I do not know! ”
God has emphasized in many verses of the Qur’an that He did not create us without purpose. He said: “What! Do you think that I created you simply in jest? And that you would not be returned to Me?” (23:115) He also said: “What! Does man think that he will be left to roam at his will?” (75:36) In addition, He said: “Do people think that they will be left to say: “We believe,” and they will not be held accountable?” (29:2)
Indeed, God Has created human beings for a purpose and with a purpose: TO WORSHIP HIM ALONE (Monotheism). He said: “I have not created the Jinn and humankind except only to worship Me. I don't require provision or feeding from them. Surely Allah is the All-provider, the Possessor of all strength, the Firm.” (51:56-58) In fact, all prophets told their people to worship God alone (Monotheism) and shun worshipping His creation (Paganism). God said: “I assuredly sent among every people a messenger with the command: Worship Allah and avoid worshipping false gods.” (16:36)
Prophet Abraham, for example, believed in One God, who had no partner. Anyone who holds a different understanding of God than this has contradicted the religion of Abraham and follows falsehood. God says in the Qur’an: “Those who reject the religion of Abraham make fools of themselves.” (2:130)
Prophet Jesus was reported in the Gospels to have said: “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only’.” (Luke 4:8)
Prophet Jacob also said (in the Qur'an) to his people: “Indeed, those which you worship besides Allah are only names that you and your forefathers have established, for which Allah has sent down no authority. The command belongs only to Allah. He has commanded that you worship none but Him. That is the right religion, but most people do not understand.” (12:40)
