We have and will continue to have the opportunity to choose or reject Salvation many times every day until the moment of our deaths.
"Hope is a gift? Chapter and verse please..."
"This Spirit he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life." - Titus 3:6-7
Hope. infused in Grace, is a theological virtue because its immediate object is God, just like the other two infused theological virtues of faith and charity. Hope reminds us that we are not home on this earth, but rather, on a journey to God. Hope, which is also a grace that we receive by asking, both compels and leads us on, reminding us constantly that God is faithful and that His promises will be realized if we persevere in the faith. Hope is nourished by faith which leads to it.
When we succumb to presumption or despair we sin against hope.
Peace be with you.

Yup: I agree...
