If a person is saved, why would he still need a Savior?

So then a saved person is not a saint? If not, when is he__ in your estimation that is?
Yes, a Saved person is a Saint, any person Christ died for is a saint, any person God elected in Christ is a Saint ! The elect are always saints from the aspect of always have been set apart by God. When they are born again then they are manifested as saints !
Rom 2:28-29
28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:
29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

Christ died for all. All have been redeemed. Salvation for anyone is another issue. That's good bible.

I will never stop needing Jesus, despite the fact that He has already saved me once and for all.
Light, I don't believe it is so much to be about needing Him but rather, more about being in union with Him and the Father per John 17. With this understanding comes the realization that we are to become as He is. This also I believe the entering the Kingdom of God is to be about__Not salvation but becoming, after salvation.
Salvation is not finalized till the judgement. After all, what are we saved from save the judgement of our own sins? We have freewill and we don't lose it when we become Christians; if anything scripture upholds the idea that we are more free.
Isn't that a contradiction? if we are saved from judgement then how is our salvation not finalized?
But we are already judged, God has said we are sinners and must die, we sadly had to agree with His verdict...then He showed us the Saviour.
Oh happy day, oh happy day
when Jesus washed my sins away
He taught me how to watch and pray
and live rejoicing every day
Hallelujah happy day.
Now some people do not agree with God's verdict, they point to their religion, or they try to amend their own lives.....best to be like Peter and throw ourselves upon the Lord with a shriek "Lord save I perish"
