It is difficult to get people to understand that they are not yet saved. That they are only on the path, and the journey has only started.
At one time, I was challenged by a person in our group when told this. I asked him if he was aware of all the passages that said "If." He was not, so I copied the passages on paper and give them to him. He had never known of these, and it came as a shock.
I believe the understanding of this would change some minds if it were widely known.
