Salvation includes all of the things shown below (and there is Scripture for everything):
1. Justification by God's grace and the gift of imputed righteousness.
2. The forgiveness of past sins.
3. The gift of the Holy Spirit.
4. The gift of eternal life.
5. The gift of Christ within.
6. Regeneration by the power of the Holy Spirit.
7. A new creation in Christ and newness of life (a new heart, an new mind, and a new spirit).
8. The cleansing of the soul from all guilt and sin.
9. The empowerment of the believer over the sin nature through the Holy Spirit.
10. A hunger for righteousness and truth. This is a part of sanctification.
11. A hunger for the Word of God.
12. A desire to commune with God in prayer.
13. Separation from all that is evil and sinful and opposed to God and Christ.
14. A desire to engage in good works and demonstrate the love of God to others.
15. A desire to share the Gospel with the lost, and bring them to Christ.
16. A desire to honor and obey God and Christ in all things, beginning with baptism.
17. A desire to exercise the spiritual gifts given by the Spirit.
18. A sincere love for the brethren.
So all of this includes (a) deliverance from Hell, (b) deliverance from the devil, (c) deliverance from the world, and (d) deliverance from self (the sin nature). But it also means being removed from the kingdom of darkness and being placed within the Kingdom of Light. Therefore those who are saved are (1) children of God, (2) heirs of God, (3) joint-heirs with Christ, and (4) within a Royal Priesthood. Their citizenship is in Heaven. They will therefore live and reign with Christ. Those who have been faithful in small things on earth, will be given large responsibilities in eternity. The first shall be last, and the last shall be first.
At the same time God expects His children to live and act as children of God while on earth. We must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ to be judged for our works and our words. Those whose works and words have eternal value (gold, silver, precious stones) will receive corresponding rewards and crowns. And those whose works and words have no eternal value (wood, hay, stubble) will suffer the loss of rewards and crowns, but not the loss of salvation (which is a free gift of God's grace).
Salvation does not exempt Christians from trials, tribulations, temptations, and testings. In fact Satanic and demonic attacks begin immediately and do not abate. Instead they intensify.
Therefore God gives His children "the whole armour of God" and the Holy Spirit within. All the apostles were martyred, and today thousands of Christians are being persecuted worldwide for their faith in Christ. But in eternity they will be greatly rewarded and honored.
