But all will eventually believe. God will not and cannot fail. If there are people currently in disbelief it is because God has not called them out to believe. Jesus told His disciples, ' you haven't chose me, I have chosen you'.
I know you believe that, but such is not taught in the New Testament - the fullness of the mystery of the Gospel.
God never fails in any of His promises. God has promised salvation to those who repent and believe, and will give eternal life to those who remain faithful to the end.
The Scripture provides no guarantee that your faith will continue, because that is
your responsibility and
obligation before God to receive His gracious free gift of eternal life.
Romans 8:12-13 (NIV) 12 Therefore,
brothers and sisters, we have an obligation — but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it. 13 For
if you live according to the flesh,
you will die; but
if by the Spirit
you put to death the misdeeds of the body,
you will live.
Matthew 24:11-13 (WEB)

But he who endures to the end will be saved.

23 He said to all, “

34 “
So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly. 35 For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth. 36 Therefore
be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and
to stand before the Son of Man.”
Acts 14:21-22 (WEB) 21 When they had preached the Good News to that city, and had made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, 22 strengthening the souls of the disciples,

Romans 8:16 (WEB) 16 The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God; 17 and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ,
IF indeed we suffer with him, that
we may also be glorified with him.
Romans 11:20-22 (WEB)
20 True;
by their unbelief they were broken off, and
you stand by your faith.
Do not be conceited, but fear; 21 for if God didn’t spare the natural branches,
neither will he spare you. 22 See then the goodness and severity of God.
Toward those who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness,
if you continue in his goodness;
otherwise you also will be cut off.
1 Corinthians 10:11-12 (WEB) 11 Now all these
things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come. 12
Therefore let him who thinks he stands be careful that he doesn’t fall.
Galatians 6:7-9 (WEB) 7
Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, for whatever a man sows, that he will also
reap. 8 For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh
reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit
reap eternal life. 9
Let us not be weary in doing good,
for we will
reap in due season,
if we do not give up.
Colossians 1:21-23 (WEB)
21 You, being in past times alienated and enemies in your mind in your evil deeds, 22 yet now he has reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without defect and blameless before him, 23
if it is so that you continue in the faith, grounded and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the Good News which you heard, which is being proclaimed in all creation under heaven, of which I, Paul, was made a servant.
Ephesians 5:3-9 (WEB)
3 But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints; 4 nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate, but rather giving of thanks.
5
Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater,
has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.
6
Let no one deceive you with empty words. For
because of these things, the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience. 7 Therefore
do not be partakers with them. 8 For you were once darkness, but are now light in the Lord.
Walk as children of light, 9 for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth
2 Thessalonians 1:5 (WEB)
5 This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that
you may be counted worthy of God’s Kingdom, for which you also suffer.
1 Timothy 1:18-20 (WEB)18 I commit this instruction to you, my child Timothy, according to the prophecies which were given to you before, that by them
you may wage the good warfare, 19
holding faith and a good conscience, which
some having thrust away made a shipwreck concerning the faith
2 Timothy 2:11-14 (WEB)
11 This saying is trustworthy:
“For
if we died with him, we will also live with him.
If we endure, we will also reign with him.
If we deny him, he also will
deny us.
If we are faithless, he remains faithful; for he
can’t deny himself.”
14 Remind them of these things, charging them in the sight of the Lord, that they do not argue about words, to no profit, to the subverting of those who hear.
1 Timothy 4:1-2 (WEB) 4 But the Spirit says expressly that in later times
some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons, 2
through the hypocrisy of men who speak lies, branded in their own conscience as with a hot iron
1 Timothy 4:14-16 (WEB) 14 Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the elders. 15 Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all. 16
Pay attention to yourself and to your teaching. Continue in these things, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
Philippians 3:12-14 (WEB)
12 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
13 Brothers,
I do not regard myself as yet having taken hold, but one thing I do: forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, 14
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus..
1 Timothy 6:18-21 (WEB)
18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share; 19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that
they may lay hold of eternal life.
20 Timothy, guard that which is committed to you, turning away from the empty chatter and oppositions of what is falsely called knowledge, 21 which some profess, and thus have
wandered from the faith.
Hebrews 3:12-15 (WEB)12
Beware, brothers and sisters, lest perhaps there might be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in
falling away from the living God; 13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin. 14
For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence firm to the end, 15 while it is said,
“
Today if you will hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion.” [
Psalms 95:7-8]
Hebrews 4:11 (WEB)
11
Let us therefore
give diligence to enter into that rest,
lest anyone fall after the
same example of disobedience.
Hebrews 12:14-17 (WEB)
14 Follow after peace with all men,
and the sanctification without which no man will see the Lord, 15
looking carefully lest there be any man who falls short of the grace of God, lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and many be defiled by it, 16 lest there be any sexually immoral person, or profane person, like Esau, who sold his birthright for one meal. 17 For you know that even when he afterward desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no place for a change of mind
though he sought it diligently with tears.
Hebrews 12:25 (WEB)
25 See that you do not refuse him who speaks. For
if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who
warns from heaven,
James 1:12-16 (WEB)
12
Blessed is a person
who endures temptation, for
when he has been approved, he will receive the
crown of life, which the Lord promised to those who love him.
13 Let no man say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God,” for God can’t be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own lust and enticed. 15 Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin. The sin, when it is full grown, produces death. 16
Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers.
1 Peter 1:13-19 (WEB)
13 Therefore
prepare your minds for action. Be sober, and set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ — 14
as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance, 15 but just as he who called you is holy, you yourselves also
be holy in all of your behavior; 16 because it is written, “You shall be holy; for I am holy.” [Leviticus 11:44-45] 17
If you call on him as Father, who without respect of persons judges according to each man’s work, pass the time of your living as foreigners here in reverent fear, 18 knowing that you were redeemed, not with corruptible things, with silver or gold, from the useless way of life handed down from your fathers, 19 but with precious blood, as of a lamb without blemish or spot, the blood of Christ
2 Peter 1:10-11 (WEB)
10 Therefore, brothers, be more diligent to make your calling and election sure.
For if you do these things,
you will never stumble. 11 For
thus you will be richly supplied with the entrance into the eternal Kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 2:1-2 (WEB)
2 But
false prophets also arose among the people, as false teachers will also be among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies,
denying even the Master who bought them, bringing on themselves
swift destruction. 2
Many will follow their immoral ways, and as a result, the way of the truth will be maligned.
2 Peter 3:11-12 (WEB)
11 Therefore since all these things will be destroyed like this,
what kind of people ought you to be in holy living and godliness, 12 looking for and earnestly desiring the coming of the day of God, which will cause the burning heavens to be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?
2 Peter 3:17-18 (WEB)
17 You therefore, beloved, knowing these things beforehand,
beware, lest being carried away with the error of the wicked, you fall from your own steadfastness. 18 But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.
1 John 2:15-17 (WEB)
15
Do not love the world or the things that are in the world. If anyone loves the world, the Father’s love isn’t in him. 16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn’t the Father’s, but is the world’s. 17 The world is passing away with its lusts, but
he who does God’s will remains forever.
Revelation 3:1-5 (WEB)
1 “I know your works, that you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2
Wake up and keep the things that remain, which you were about to throw away, for I have found no works of yours perfected before my God. 3 Remember therefore how you have received and heard.
Keep it and repent.
If therefore you won’t watch, I will come as a thief, and you won’t know what hour I will come upon you. 4 Nevertheless you have
a few names in Sardis that didn’t defile their garments.
They will walk with me in white, for they are worthy. 5
He who overcomes will be arrayed in white garments, and I will in no way blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.
Revelation 3:11-12 (WEB)
11 I am coming quickly!
Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown. 12
He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he will go out from there no more. I will write on him the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my own new name.
Revelation 12:11 (WEB)
11 They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death.
Revelation 14:12-13 (WEB)
12
Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
Revelation 21:6-8 (WEB)
6 He said to me, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.
I will give freely to him who is thirsty from the spring of the water of life. 7
He who overcomes,
I will give him these things. I will be his God, and he will be my son. 8
But for the cowardly, unbelieving, sinners, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their part is in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
Hebrews 10:24-31 (WEB)
24
Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another, and
so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
26
For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth,
there remains no more a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which will devour the adversaries.
28 A man who disregards Moses’ law dies without compassion on the word of two or three witnesses. 29
How much worse punishment do you think he will be judged worthy of who has trodden under foot the Son of God, and has
counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified an unholy thing, and has
insulted the Spirit of grace?
30 For we know him who said, “
Vengeance belongs to me. I will repay,” says the Lord. [Deuteronomy] 32:35 Again, “
The Lord will judge HIS people.” [
Deuteronomy 32:36;
Psalms 135:14] 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
