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!

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.

I see no contradiction in Eph.
We are not saved by works..but rather produce works as a result of our salvation.

Can you address the following question I asked you previously...
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?
endures all things

implies love suffering patience

until death

then eternal salvation

explain a few verses please

Romans 6:22 But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.

Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Hebrews 10:36

if faith is unto salvation what are hope and charity

three are eternal 1 cor 13:13

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

what is this charity that empowers even faith 1 cor 13:2 ...though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, it avails nothing.

proof you can be born again, justified, new creation, having passed from death to life, and have your name written in the book of life and still be eternally lost!


You didnt list any of your so called "proof"...........all you did was again state the false claim, that a born again Chrisitan can lose their salvaiton.
This is typical of a Legalist who does not even understand the Grace of God, that is the Cross of Christ.

That's you, @faithhopecharity

rev 22:19
And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

What kind of religious nut only spends time on Forums, trying to post some verse they hope proves to themselves, that their Salvation can be lost?
Ive no doubt that you @faithhopecharity , are the exact person who should be asked that Question.
Now, Did you ever consider writing a post or a Thread that states your love for the Bible, or for God, or For Christ, instead?
= I do it all the time.........and the way i do it, is to only and always give Jesus full and complete credit for Salvation.
= For saving us and keeping us saved.
See, i spend a lot of time here telling deceived people like you, that fact.

And what i can tell you about your verse, is that you dont know how a person's name originally got into the book of Life, so, you are not going to understand that verse you posted.

And if you now run and "GOOGLE or WIKI" for the answer to that Book of Life Question.......you've wasting your time....

I will tell you this.........and that is.......that John is not talking to the born again, in that verse.....regarding that book and their name.
