Saved:
Matt 10: 22. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Matt 24: 35. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; 1 pet 3:18-20
We are all infected with sin (Romans 3:23). We are born with sin (Psalm 51:5), and we all have chosen at one time to sin (Ecclesiastes 7:20;1) (John 1:8). Sin is what makes us unsaved. Sin is what separates us from God. Sin is what has us on the path to eternal destruction.
Because of our sin, we all deserve death (Romans 6:23). While the physical consequence of sin is physical death, that is not the only kind of death that results from sin. All sin is ultimately committed against an eternal and infinite God (Psalm 51:4). Because of that, the just penalty for our sin is also eternal and infinite. What we need to be saved from is eternal destruction (Matthew 25:46;Revelation 20:15).
