Yes, there are I don't have my bible on front of me right at this moment but from the top of my head if you look at Phil 1:6 I believe you will find out that it says that God is continuing a good work in you until the day you die. Basically what's going on is that there is a theological term called justification which means after a person is saved he is now postionally rightous before God, there is also a term that called santification and that is what phil 1:6 shows that it is an on going process that we go through that Christ is confirming us to his likeness every single day until the day we die. Also in I believe John 6 i can't remeber the verse but if you read the chpt Christ says that he will not lose anyone that the father has given to him not even one. If I am off with the verse I will fond it for you.
