If you and I have been guaranteed a place in eternity with our Saviour, then we also have been guaranteed all the grace we need along the way.  The promise of future grace always carries with it the promise of present grace.  If the end of my story is secure, it means God cannot abandon or lose me along the way.

Paul David Tripp, Dangerous Calling (Wheaton, IL: Crossway, 2012), 223.
