Not persevering until the end IS denying the fullness of Jesus’ divinity, His work on the cross and His Resurrection.
And yet you cannot lose your salvation. God’s gift of salvation is a revocable.

Yeah so, I'm "persevering" through a rather painful, broken back right now. Will it save me? NOPE. Will it be a pain in my ash for a few days? That's a big fat YES.. lol

He who saith that he knoweth him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
John 15:12 & 17
12This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
17These things I command you, that you love one another.

1 John 2:3-4
Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. 4He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.
You should go on a Muslim chat site and share that scripture with them. But you won’t because you’re a coward.

In this we know that we love the children of God: when we love God, and keep his commandments.
NO YOU DON'T KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, and I PROVED IT TO YOU:


1 Peter 2:13-17 (NKJV)
13 Therefore submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether to the king as supreme,
14 or to governors, as to those who are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of those who do good.
15 For this is the will of God, that by doing good you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men--
16 as free, yet not using liberty as a cloak for vice, but as bondservants of God.
17 Honor all people. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the king. [.President Donald Trump, if you are an American.]

YOU ARE SINNING, EVERY TIME YOU GO 1 MPH OVER THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT.

YOU ARE SINNING, EVERY TIME YOU PARK ONE INCH OVER THE LINE, AND ANY OTHER PARKING VIOLATION.



YOU ARE SINNING IF YOU RIDE A BICYCLE ON THIS SIDEWALK.


ETC., ETC., ETC.

He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
Looks like all of us who understand we are saved by grace through faith are loved by God. And it’s beautiful.
