Hello Ferris,
From me being saved comes from an experience that comes from understanding and knowing that it is because of the Lord Jesus Christ that anyone is saved. It is to believe on Him, and to do as He commanded which was to always firstly love God, with all your mind, and all your heart and all your soul or strength (I forgot). And to love your neighbor as yourself.
The works of faith, are to believe on Him, and to Love. Love is the commandment from my understanding and the only things that remain out of all our emotions and the things in the world is Faith, Hope, and Love.
It is because of everything that the Lord Yeshua had fulfilled having fulfilled the law and the prophet, and God (Father) Yahweh, saw this success and appeasing having suffered death for the sake of all the world, and not himself. Because of the pure blood that Jesus had shed on behalf of all people, now today people come into being right with God by faith, in the Son of God who came down from heaven, died, and was risen again by His Father, who deemed Jesus (The Word of God) - The Only begotten-Son, in which first he was deemed my beloved son.
That is what my thoughts are on being saved, and being seen right with God it is because of Yeshua/Jesus that a person is made right with God, however this is incorporated into one single human beings life when they choose to say to themselves "Hey you know what, maybe my life does matter to God, and he does care about me, but not only my own life, he also cares about others life too" and by hearing good news from the Bible does a person really become in ensconced in knowing truth by desiring to seek for it and it is unsolicited.
Thank you for reading.
