I post this list for the benefit of those who have eyes to see, ears to hear, etc.
[FONT="]Col 1:22-23 He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, [/FONT]
[FONT="]and blameless, and above reproach in His sight [/FONT][FONT="]if indeed you continue in the faith[/FONT][FONT="], [/FONT]
[FONT="]grounded and steadfast, and are not moved away from the hope of the gospel [/FONT]
[FONT="]1 Cor 15:1-2 Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, [/FONT]
[FONT="]which also you received and in which you stand, by which also [/FONT]
[FONT="]you are saved, if you hold fast that word which I preached to you unless you believed in vain.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Heb 2:1-4 Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, [/FONT]
[FONT="]lest we drift away[/FONT][FONT="].[/FONT][FONT="] For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, [/FONT]
[FONT="]and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward, [/FONT]
[FONT="]how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation ?[/FONT]
[FONT="]Heb 10:36-39 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, [/FONT]
[FONT="]you may receive the promise: For yet a little while, and He who is coming will come [/FONT]
[FONT="]and will not tarry. Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, [/FONT]
[FONT="]My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who draw back to perdition[/FONT][FONT="], [/FONT]
[FONT="]but of those who believe to the saving of the soul. Oh, really? Paul always encourages.[/FONT]
[FONT="]1 Tim 4:16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, [/FONT]
[FONT="]for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Jude 1:20-21 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, [/FONT]
[FONT="]praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, [/FONT]
[FONT="]looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Phil 2:12-16 work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; [/FONT]
[FONT="]for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. [/FONT]
[FONT="] that you may (not will) become blameless and harmless, children of God without fault[/FONT]
[FONT="] holding fast the word of life, so that I may (not will) rejoice in the day of Christ [/FONT]
[FONT="]that I have not run in vain or labored in vain[/FONT][FONT="].[/FONT]
[FONT="]1 Pet 1:5-9 the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that [/FONT]
[FONT="]perishes, though it is tested by fire, may (not will) be found to praise, honor, and glory at [/FONT]
[FONT="]the revelation of Jesus Christ receiving the end of your faith the salvation of your souls.[/FONT]
[FONT="]1 Tim 6:9-14 But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into [/FONT]
[FONT="]many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition (i.e. hell). [/FONT]
[FONT="]For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith [/FONT]
[FONT="]in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. But you, O man of [/FONT]
[FONT="]God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called [/FONT]
[FONT="]I urge you in the sight of God who gives life to all things, and before Christ Jesus that you[/FONT]
[FONT="]keep this commandment [/FONT][FONT="]without spot, blameless until our Lord Jesus Christs appearing[/FONT]
[FONT="]Rev 2:10 Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, [/FONT]
[FONT="]that[/FONT][FONT="] you may (will) be tested[/FONT][FONT="], and you will have tribulation ten days. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of (eternal) life.[/FONT]
[FONT="]James 1:12 Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, [/FONT]
[FONT="]he will receive the crown of life[/FONT][FONT="] which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Heb 3:6,14 Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are, [/FONT]
[FONT="]if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm to the end.[/FONT]
[FONT="] For we have become partakers of Christ, [/FONT]
[FONT="]if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end[/FONT]
[FONT="]2 Tim 2:12 If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.
[/FONT][FONT="]Because of all of the above verses [/FONT]
[FONT="]1) Christians see the following passage as having a double-meaning:[/FONT]
[FONT="]Matt 10:22 But he who endures to the end (of his life) will be saved. (also Mark 13:13, Matt 24:13)[/FONT]
[FONT="]2) Eternal life is actually granted (or denied) some time after one dies![/FONT]
