"who walk not after the flesh". Don't miss that part. People usually skip right over that part as if it's not even there.
You have to keep believing to stay in Christ. The person who has stopped trusting in Christ lives in the flesh. That person will not be saved when Jesus comes back.

John 15:5
I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for
without me ye can do nothing
.
Who is it that grows this fruit, again? You?
Galatians 5:22-23
[SUP]22 [/SUP]But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
[SUP]23 [/SUP]Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Just in case you missed this one key verse...;
Romans 11:29
Will the person who wonders "What if", the double minded man, be the one that makes it in? Did you believe hard enough? Did you believe long enough? At this one particular moment, are you as saved as you were when you first believed? If YOU have to do it, did YOU get it done?
Or will it be the one who has 100% faith and confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ the one that makes it in? Not in our own sufficiency but in His. Not that we believed enough but that the Lord Jesus Christ is Powerful to Save.
