To be "Saved" in the Christian sense means to be freed by Christ's sacrifice of Himself for us. When He died for us, He broke the power of sin and death over us, allowing us to enter a new life of love, service and joy, in communion with God, by faith in Christ, and through grace and the power of the Holy Spirit. In this sense, fully accepting Christ's teachings, we are "saved".
(References: Matthew 1:21; John 3:16, 10:10; Acts 4:12; Romans 8:2; 2 Corinthians 5:17)

walking from henceforth in his holy ways: Draw near with
faith, and make your humble confession to Almighty God,
devoutly kneeling.
