To keep being saved by Jesus, having fellowship with him and God, you keep learning the teachings of Jesus, believing he is the light from God, and you keep learning to live by his teachings where appropriate. If you keep being his disciple, his student, he keeps saving you.

You expressed a meaningful idea — that ongoing relationship with Jesus involves continual learning, belief, and living by what he taught. Many Christians would resonate with what you’re saying: discipleship is not a one-time event but an ongoing walk.

Different traditions express this in different ways, but what you said reflects a common theme in the New Testament:
* Jesus calls people to follow him continually, not just once. ("If you hold to my teachings, you are really my disciples." – John 8:31)
* To believe he is the light of God is to walk in that light. ("I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." – John 8:12)
* Learning his teachings implies not just knowing them, but acting on them. ("If you love me, keep my commandments." – John 14:15)
* Discipleship is ongoing — a continual relationship. ("Take my yoke upon you and learn from me" – Matthew 11:29)

Some Christians describe salvation as both a gift received through faith and a journey lived out daily through discipleship. In your wording, "he keeps saving you as you keep following him" expresses that ongoing relationship.

If you’d like, I can help explore this more deeply — such as:
* How biblical writers describe fellowship with God and Jesus
* What it means practically to live as a disciple
* How different Christian traditions understand salvation, grace, works, growth, and perseverance

Just let me know the direction you’d like to go.
