Q. Who are we saved from? Ourselves, God, Satan or Other?
This is a question. Please take a guess.

it sounds like a miracle to me: it has been for a couple of days now that I began asking this question from myself and every time the answer is "Myself". When I look back at the path I walked so far, I see my own shortcomings behind every bump, every failure, and every flaw. I may not blame anyone but myself, though at the time it seemed to me that I am the victim for other agents who ruined my life. but i was all wrong.

God’s wrath is his love in action against sin.
This is counter-intuitive, but hear me out.
God is love, and God does all things for his glory (1 John 4:8; Romans 11:36). He loves his glory above all (and that is a good thing!). Therefore, God rules the world in such a way that brings himself maximum glory. This means that God must act justly and judge sin (i.e. respond with wrath), otherwise God would not be God. God’s love for his glory motivates his wrath against sin.

Admittedly, God’s love for his own glory is a most sobering reality for many and not good news for sinners. It is after all, “a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:31).

So in my view, we are saved by God from God.

It was all part of the plan to bring about the purpose of God which allowed us to choose and fall, but have an opportunity to repent, thereby allowing us to qualify for salvation.
