No I don't, CHRIST IS THE SURE THING, as IF IT ALREADY HAPPENED. HOPE THAT GOD MEANT WHAT HE SAID IS A SURE THING.
HE IS THE GUARANTEE THAT HOPE IS ETERNAL SECURITY:
Romans 5:1-11 (HCSB)
1 Therefore,
since we have been declared righteous by faith,
we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 We have also obtained access through Him by
faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God.
3 And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance,
4 endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope.
5
This hope will not disappoint ⌊us⌋, because
God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.
6 For while we were still helpless, at the appointed moment,
Christ died for the ungodly.
7 For rarely will someone die for a just person—though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die.
8 But
God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us!
9 Much more then, since
we have now been declared righteous by His blood, we will be saved through Him from wrath.
10 For if,
while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, ⌊then how⌋ much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by His life!
11 And not only that, but
we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ. We have now received this reconciliation through Him.

in the hope of eternal life that God, who cannot lie, promised before time began.

Titus 3:5-7 (HCSB)
5
He saved us—
not by works of righteousness that we had done, but
according to His mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
6 He poured out this ⌊Spirit⌋ on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
7 so that
having been justified by His grace, we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.
Romans 4:4-5 (NET)
4 Now to the one who works,
his pay is not credited due to grace but due to obligation.

while we were enemies,
we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, ⌊then how⌋ much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by His life!
