22and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
Endures what?
To the end of what?
Will be saved from what?

Grace of Justification is salvation.
Eph 2;8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

To justify is to declare righteous. Justification is an act of God whereby He pronounces a sinner to be righteous because of that sinner’s faith in Christ....ref, Got Questions. Where is Got Questions wrong?
ps 23:3 He restores my soul

supernatural virtue of hope!

Hope is the supernatural virtue by which we firmly trust that God, who is all-powerful and faithful to His promises, will in His mercy give us eternal happiness and the means to obtain it.

no one hopes for that which he already possesses!

Romans 8:24-25

24 For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

25 But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

the prodigal was lost then found, dead then back to life!

that makes eternal security impossible!

Then I "hope" you're going to make it into heaven....because if you think you have anything to do with your salvation you're going to find out just how wrong you are.

You're faith is faith in what you do rather than what Jesus did.
Your hope become a wish, a desire....rather than a sure thing.
Your charity removes the love of Christ from the gospel and places the love of God as being dependent on what you do or don't do.
