Great point.I chose other. We don't "achieve" salvation, we are given it as a gift by grace when we accept as true that Jesus Christ is the Saviour. Eph.2:8
We are saved by Grace through faith, there’s a little more than just accepting Jesus, but its the first step! The Bible is our manual on how to be saved and it’s important to read it for ourselves so we will not be deceived when hearing people who claim to be of God, but not teaching the scriptures which we are warned about. Isaiah 8:20 We build our relationship with Jesus though reading and studying His Word, prayer, worship and devotion. Too many people miss this important piece and don’t read their bibles or spend time in prayer.Great point.

Why do you say, "achieve"? Or what do you mean by it?Please use the scripture you believe supports your view. How does one achieve salvation, by grace, faith or predestination or all of the above? Did Christ accomplish salvation or must a human work accompany the work of Christ?
No one "achieves" salvation. It is God's gift. If I try to make a car, I will never get there because I don't have the skills or resources. If I buy a car, it is a cost to me, even if someone else makes it. If I'm given a car, then I have nothing to do but be thankful and to learn how to drive it. Salvation is a gift. Romans 5:15 and many other verses make this clear.Please use the scripture you believe supports your view. How does one achieve salvation, by grace, faith or predestination or all of the above?

I find the word achieve wrong as well, please reply with a suggested word.Why do you say, "achieve"? Or what do you mean by it?
"God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." - Ephesians 2:4-10Please use the scripture you believe supports your view.

But does even dead faith save?Yet faith without works is dead.
Jas 2:17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
You cannot build a relationship until you have one and you cannot have one unless you are saved. You confuse being saved from death which, is what Christ died to save us from (the result of our sin) and being saved from our ignorance and the evil of this world. You cannot work out a salvation you do not have. (Phil.2:12)
