“There are no guarantees.” In this you do err, for a Promise from God is already a reality when He makes the Promise. There is no greater guarantee than a Promise from God. Salvation upon faithing in God’s Promise IS a guarantee which goes into effect the instant we attach to that Promise. The thief on the Cross is the prime example, a man who trust in God and asked that Jesus remember him when He came into His kingdom. The man died that day a saved man, as attested by the Savior Himself back to the man.

But to add to the promise destroys understanding!
God’s promise demanded that we “endure to the end.”
Those that slide off and fail to endure have no claim to any promise.
