Why, why, after reading the Bible, I'm a hundred thousand whys. But suddenly one day, I found that the Bible does not need to ask why, just accept his words. God is indeed omniscient and omnipotent. If not, how can the Bible say that he is superior to the whole world. God says that I am superior to the world. If this is a debate, and the Bible advocates debate, then Who has told you that there are very few who are saved? The Bible says that not all who call me Jesus are my disciples. It has also been said that the road is narrow and few people have been found. But does this mean that there are few people saved? If it is not to save all people, why make atonement for the world? In other words, if you think that some people or most of them can't be saved, maybe this understanding is the wrong starting point. This is not finding the right way, because the road is very narrow, so narrow that many Christians think that there are few people to be saved. Who can't be saved and who is missing? the one who thinks that someone can't be saved, there may be only one person who can't be saved It seems to make sense that there are few people to save that missing The one who thinks that someone can't be saved, God's purpose is to save the world. Jesus said that he would rather save the one than save so many, rather save so many than save this one. The Bible says, first of all, you should pray for all people, no matter who they are. Jesus said that if you believe in me, whatever you ask of me will be fulfilled, then I believe in Jesus, and I pray that all people can be saved. Can't he Jesus accomplish it?
Did you really trust in Jesus for salvation?

Huh?
When did I call you a "name?"
As for the rest of your response........it is just silly. Much like your OP.
Here, lemme help ya:
SHOW me the Scripture that says we DO NOT have to live OBEDIENT to Christ and the Commandments He gave to the Church.
As for continuing to "confess, repent," if we are NOT to ask for forgiveness for sins we commit after our salvation, then WHY, pray tell, did Jesus Himself INSTRUCT us to? You DO KNOW He said to, right?
Matthew, Chapter 6:
9) After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10) Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11) Give us this day our daily bread.
12) And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13) And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
14) For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15) But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
Maybe you should do just a wee bit more study before you come to teach us about Scripture............

What so very many people forget, like this one, is that Salvation is the BEGINNING of our life walk with Christ..............NOT the END.
So VERY MUCH MORE follows our salvation!
Carnal (earthy) believers (not yet infilled) see with carnal (earthy) eyes.....and do not understand. The Apostle Paul spoke of these and their need to grow in Christ so as to become Spiritual believers (infilled with the Holy Spirit) so they can see the Spiritual Truth of Scripture. Why is this important? Because, as Scripture says: God is a Spirit, and to worship Him you must worship Him in Spirit and Truth.............. Carnal/earthy limitations quite often skew the deeper, Spiritual meaning of Scripture.

I see salvation as the beginning in the sense of that we Are saved from Hell ,the penalty of sin . Before this we were lost and heading for hell . After this we realise that everything is secure and our future is secure. All that remains of our salvation of course is Glorification , the Adoption which is also Guaranteed. For now we eagerly await the Adoption ( rom 8.23 ) We should now tell others this good news whilst we have time.
Bro did you even read that verse? "If you love me..."
Nowhere do I see if you don't do this you will not be saved in that verse. There are other verses for those things but each should be handled with care so as to have clean motives for engaging those verses and what the spirit IS saying with them.
Now there is a verse about the love of the Father not being in a person, but that's a different place. I'll leave you to draw out a connection between the two (if it exists beyond "line upon line")
