The idea is that, yes, you're saved, but you're also being saved, and you hope that you will be saved.
It's because it's through time, and time is something that we experience, but the whole story is already told at that kingdom-of-heaven level.
It's already a foregone conclusion. God wins.
But we're living through the story, so it's: am saved, being saved, hope I will be saved. If you were a strict legal nominalist, you would be like, 'That's a contradiction. Either you are or you aren't.'
But God is not contained by our limitations of space and time and Aristotelian logic.
That's not how God works. God transcends those categories.
