Saved people are saved through the relationship they have with God, they have put their love and trust in the Father's ways and all the Father is. It is like a good relationship with a good, loving earthly Father.
A good earthly Father does his best to lead a child into a good life, so does a heavenly Father. It is the love shared between the two that counts, not the amount of obedience the son has to these Fathers. But the relationship still is influenced by the actions and beliefs they both have.
Our heavenly Father does not want his children to follow false fathers. It makes me wonder about the way our people look to the stars for guidance, all newspapers have something about star signs to follow. Can we put our love and trust completely in our heavenly Father, and look to those articles for love and guidance, also?
