Enduring till the end<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beloved, when you wholeheartedly choose Christ, our Master and Lord, you experience peace that passes all understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the prince of this world, who hated Christ, will raise indescribable persecution and pain against you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This was exactly what he did against Christ our Master and Lord<\/p>\n\n\n\n
John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. 15:19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 15:20 Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also. 15:21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name’s sake, because they know not him that sent me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t be surprised if you are hated by those who don’t believe what you are standing for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 John 3:13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But then whatever happens, you must endure to the end through His unfailing grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthew 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Great blessings are yours for this privilege of being persecuted because of your faith in Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthew 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even when you are persecuted you must not just endure but witness for Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under no circumstances, must you deny Him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Matthew 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 10:35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. 10:36 And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household. 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 10:38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 10:39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must determinedly cleave to Him until the very end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acts 11:23 Who, when he came, and had seen the grace of God, was glad, and exhorted them all, that with purpose of heart they would cleave unto the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nothing must separate you from His love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Romans 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 8:36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is what you as a Bible believing believer must endure before having access to live with Him for all eternity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peter, Paul and many others experienced this, during their lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2 Timothy 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You must keep on living by the entirety of God’s words in the Bible, until very end for you not to loose your crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Revelation 3:10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 3:11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God’s unfailing grace will avail for you in Jesus name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
