FAQ # 64

QUESTION  64 :  Christ said, “he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved” (Matt 10:22). How then are we sealed in salvation if only those who endure to the end can be saved? My Pastor even said that being baptized and Holy filled is just the beginning. He went unto say, many who have begun this race after being baptized in water and spirit will not make it because they didn’t endure. How does justification fits here?

My friend, Jesus knew that because of salvation we will be “tempted” by the devil everyday; simply because of what we have and what he lost. God knew that no matter what he did, in terms of the law, we were just “bent to backsliding” (Hos 11:7). So as stated throughout this book, he decided to reverse this and restore the spiritual likeness to man, which is imperishable. He said, “I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them” (Eze 36:27). In other words, everyone that is born of the spirit will now keep his commandments and endure to the end because of his spirit in them. John knew this and made it plain in the entire book of 1 John – please read it.

Your pastor is clearly in error, sad to say. The Holy Ghost is the agent that will make sure that we will endure to the end. If it wasn’t a fact, many scriptures wouldn’t have said it and God’s promise would be a failure and of course we know that cannot be.

Remember this, “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ” (Php 1:6); speaking of salvation.

Here are some more verses on that line: Jude 1:24, Heb 10:14, Eph 1:3, 2 Cor 1:22, Eph 4:30,

I hope this helps.
