Believers need to persevere

Do you think everyone gets the same chance to be saved or people can get better chances ?

In the above link post I said

I have thought before but I do not share it because I don’t know if it is true that salvation is a free gift that if you are always willing to believe if one never rejects the truth without a cause but because of another he can be saved if he actually loves and trusts the Christian God for salvation
Because I kind of believe John when he said he who believes in the Son has everlasting life but he who does not believe the Son shall not see life but the wrath of God abides on him

I need to make a correction because I should have known better to not teach what I thought I should teach to please others but made sure it is true in the scripture I do not think supports that those who commit suicide can go to heaven if they are in their right mind and it is not an excuse not to repent for everyone makes their own decisions and one needs to accept that and he must repent to go to heaven . God alone can judge if person could control himself or such a person lost their mind that they don’t know they would put themselves at risk but all who think they might need to be careful. Perhaps people are judged if God used others to make them know they are at risk or they are required to persevere themselves if they already know it may be wrong. Paul said I have fought the good fight of faith I have finished the race. So it is necessary as Paul said that people do as He said you have not yet resisted to bloodshed striving against sin. I don’t mean to offend or to be insensitive to people pain but people need to accept that others could have made their own decision and if there are factors that make them not responsible God alone knows but we assume if they are aware it is probably a condemning sin they have to not do it

Hebrews 10:36-39
36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
37 “For yet a little while,
And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul

though I suppose some people really suffer beyond their ability to cope not every trial is promised to be willed by God to need to overcome only that which is a temptation that is from others that tempt you not if God had a purpose to test if people do not judge or do. If one can control himself he must but if somehow in a state where they are not able to control themselves anymore made by choices they didn’t know would kill them because when James said no temptation that exists exists except which is common to man but God is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able he may mean if you are tempted from your own evil desires that you accept from the devil you can resist but not all temptations are from satan to test one so God has not promised that sometimes you may not be able to control but if you are able to control you must

Hebrews 10:36-39
36 For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:
37 “For yet a little while,
And He who is coming will come and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith;
But if anyone draws back,
My soul has no pleasure in him.”
39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul

These verses show keeping the faith is necessary to be saved and to have done the will of God however late.

One should accept salvation today because if one does not accept salvation today he does not know if he would have opportunity to later and that is doing the will of Christ because it is about receiving christ and trying to live for him from now on as evidence of salvation you received and such is required for salvation to be doing what you are able to do

I think some of what I said initially is misleading and we can’t say that God would let people lose control of their actions just because they lived worldly lives but some people may have different trials and God wants us to understand that that some people may not be able to control their actions but those that can must. Maybe those who did good things in their life or had good heart who did His will in some way He allows some of them to lose control to teach not to judge those in difficult circumstances yet if He doesn’t for some it means they have to control themselves and He wills for them to persevere
