**Sermon summary:**

The sermon explores the biblical promise that those who endure to the end will be saved, using Matthew 24:13 as the central text. It outlines three key aspects of this endurance: the necessity of genuine conversion rather than mere religious habit, the divine reasons for God's people persevering through His presence and love, and the practical call to hold fast to faith and obedience.

The preacher emphasizes that true salvation requires a lifelong walk of faith, supported by the Holy Spirit and anchored in Christ's righteousness. Believers are urged to remain diligent in spiritual disciplines and trust in God's confirming grace despite trials or doubts.

Ultimately, the message offers hope that steadfast reliance on Jesus ensures eternal security and final deliverance.

Seeking for the help of the Lord, I direct your prayerful attention to the Gospel according to Matthew, Matthew chapter 24 and verse 13. This is the same or similar account as what we read in Mark chapter 13. Reading for our text, Matthew 24 and verse 13.

But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And it's specifically the words unto the end that is upon my spirit and whether I found in other parts of the word as well, relative to this same truth. The end. Well, there's two ways that each one of us here shall see the end. One is our death, that time when the Lord shall take away our breath and we shall go the way of all the earth, that we shall die. The other way is when the Lord comes, when, if we are alive on the earth, it shall be equivalent to death, a transforming, a change, but shall usher in the rolling up of this world, the finishing of time and heaven and earth passing away. and the Lord coming with power and great glory. There is an end, and we are told in Proverbs, surely there is an end, and thine expectation shall not be cut off.

It's very easy for us to be so taken up with life, especially if we have things all the time set before us, from children you're aiming at, jobs, or maybe a partner in life, or something that we've got in view before in our own minds, we shall come to our end. But many that are young have proved that they've never got to those positions in life. Some have never had a job. They've never got old enough for that. They've never grown old. They've been cut off short.

But we have that thought that we shall continue and keep going. But it's good for us to really remember this truth that there is an end. There is an end to our existence. here below. Having just been to the Pilgrim Home, one of the residents there in the last month or so has just passed away at 104. Her daughter is in there, she's in her late 80s. And yet each one of us, we must come so that we part with all here below.

And may we remember this, the word says, O that men would lay it to heart, the righteous taken away from the wrath to come. And to realize those of us that are older, that thinking of the 104 year old, that many of us, if we were to live another 40 years, but we'd exceed that age, And there are more years behind us than there are before us, even in the natural scheme of things, even if we lived as long as we could expect to live. And so we could say, well, in 40, 50 years time, we'll be in eternity, either with the Lord or in hell, either in peace or in torments. And it is a sobering, sobering thought to put into perspective the worries and concerns and burdens and things of this life.

Our Lord says when he spoke to Mary and Martha that one thing is needful. There was Martha careful and troubled about many things, no good things. religious things and serving the Lord, but Mary was sitting at the feet of the Lord and hearing his word. We need to get our priorities right, and I speak as much to myself as any, but here is a beautiful promise, really, He that shall endure unto the end shall be saved.

Endurance, or to endure unto the end, means to suffer through something difficult or painful without giving up. To survive the test of time. The test of time. But it leaves us with a Solemn thought, what are we to endure in? And I want to begin in three points with that as our first point. What we are to endure in. And then secondly, why God's people shall endure unto the end. And thirdly, how we are to endure unto the end. But firstly, what we are to endure in.

If we were to say, or to quote this word, to someone that was in nature's darkness, to someone that was unconverted, and yet they were attending our chapels, regularly attending our chapels, but without concern, without desire for their souls, just happy with chapel attendance. If we were to say to them, he that shall endure unto the end shall be saved, and they interpreted it I need to endure still at the chapel, still attending the chapel.

I always remember the most solemn event when I was probably about eight years of age. You had a lady at Melbourne Chapel and she got ill and she thought that she was going to die. And she called my father and seemed to have a very good testimony And my father wanted us children to go and hear her testimony. I remember going to her bedside and her taking my hand and saying to me, Roland, never go away from that little chapel. Never depart from the little chapel. That was her advice. There was one problem she recovered.

And yet she came to the chapel for a while, read her novels in the back, replied against my father when he reproved her, and then she left the chapel. I don't know whether there was any follow-up, whether she was ever converted. But if she had died in that illness, I'm sure my father and others would have thought that she had been saved. But the test of time proved that it wasn't a real conversion. Looking back as well, what she said to me, she wasn't exhorting me to believe and to cleave to the Lord Jesus Christ.

She was setting up in front of that, the chapel, the place of worship, the external things. But things like this, that was some 10, 11 years before I was converted. but remains a strong memory, a solemnity, the memory also when she came back in the scenes in the chapel, a solemn, solemn character.

And so when we think about enduring, we want to be in a position first that we want to continue. And so we could ask ourselves how we are now, Would we want to, at the end of our life, or the very end when everything is rolled up, finished, would we want to be what we are now? Now, of course, if we are found now as a seeker and praying and seeking and desiring the blessing of the Lord, we won't want to endure unto the end in that condition, We'll want to keep seeking, we'll want to keep praying, but our desire will be, Lord, do hear my prayers, appear for me, bless my soul, give me to know my interest in the Savior's precious blood, that I am one of thy children. And if we have that witness, if we are converted, We do have that assurance, but as yet we have not walked in obedience in the Lord's house, the ordinances of the Lord's house, or we have not walked in the way the Lord has shown us that we should do, then we don't want to endure to the end as obstinate, rebellious, refusing to do what the Lord has told us to do.

So we do need to be very careful when we have a word like this, a beautiful promise like this. He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. We need to be saved and we need to continue to be saved. Now we know that God's people will be, we know that, and we come to that in a moment. But the trial, the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is.

And this is why the promise is given in this way, because there are many, and the Apostle Paul spoke of those in several of his letters, That had begun well, but then they'd fallen away. Those even like Judas, who was one of the apostles, appeared very much to be one of the Lord's people, but in the process of time, it was proved he wasn't. Simon the sorcerer, baptized by Philip, in the process of time, found that he wasn't one of the Lord's. Ananias and Sapphira, wanting to be counted as God's people, and so imitating the works of God's people, but found out as lying to the Holy Ghost, they perished.

We read on that occasion, there's great fear upon the church, and it is right for us to really search our hearts as to what our real standing is. Are we safe? Do we have faith in the Lord Jesus Christ? Are we solely trusting in his work? Are we sure that we have a good hope beyond the grave? Would we be happy if the Lord told us that he was to take us from this world today?

One of the dear friends at Pilgrim Home, she said to me as I was leaving, She says, I do want the Lord to come and to take me. I don't want to stay here all the time. She seemed to be in quite a softened, a nice spirit. And it's nice to see those that are ripening for glory and ready to be taken. Over the years, some 24 years or more I've been going there, I've seen many in that position. And my prayer often is, Lord, that I might have that same comfort The same assurance when coming down to the end of one's life.

But we don't know. I might be taken, you might be taken, before those that are there in the home in their 90s. And so we need to be aware of that end that God knows, but we do not know. and that we be found in a right place in the hope of the gospel, a hope built on nothing less than Jesus' blood and righteousness. Himmler says, I dare not trust the sweetest rain, but wholly lean on Jesus' name.

We are justified by faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and is the faith of Jesus Christ. He gives it to his people. He maintains it in his people. And this is why the great blessing of being able to continue, continue in a hope, a good hope, with the right foundation, a right base. He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

We're not to look for great things for ourselves. We're not to look and expect great things, but count it the greatest thing to be put in the way, through the straight gate, through Christ, who says, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father but by me.

And then to be kept in that way, in the way of obedience, the way of faith, the way of our Lord Jesus Christ. So what we are to endure in is a very important consideration. I don't want to discourage any in waiting, in praying, in seeking the Lord. But may it be a real wrestling point with the Lord. to come into that blessed place of assurance and hope that we feel now we have what we desired of the Lord.

Be like Simeon, really. The Lord has said to him that he should not die until he has seen the Lord's Christ. When our Lord as a baby was brought into the temple for to do for him after the custom of the law, He took him up in his arms. Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation. He'd had what he had been told he should see.

And to realize that the Lord has given us that interest in him and that blessing. and be ready to die. But with many of us, we may look back over times that we've had a real assurance, and then lost it. I remember years ago, speaking to the Lord's dear servant now in glory in New Zealand, and I asked him concerning assurance, and he said to me, assurance, have you got assurance?

Don't look for it ten minutes later. And I knew what he meant. It's not meaning that we are a Christian one moment, saved one moment, lost the next moment. But the sweet realization, all the doubts removed, and be able to believe with perfect assurance that we are the Lord's and will be taken home, doesn't last long. We believe in it, we lean upon it, But most of the way is not by sight but by faith. And when we say not by sight, it doesn't mean like a literal sign. It means not walking in the sweet blessings or sweet assurance of those blessings.

We don't need the labor of faith When we're filled with the love of God shed abroad in our hearts and the Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are His. But when we're in trials and darkness and tempted and tried and sins arising and temptations everywhere, then it takes faith. Then it takes faith to rest on the word of the Lord, rest upon the Lord's keeping and what He has done for us and believe that He won't forsake us and that what He has given is sure and it is eternal. And that for the most part of God's people is a labor and walk of faith day by day. And trials, they try it, they sift it, and it's a great mercy to get through those trials And we're still found, still looking to the same place, the same way, the same blood, the same salvation as we were right at the beginning.

Take the little snapshot of Peter's life. The Lord said, Satan hath desired to have you, sift you as wheat, but I prayed for thee that thy faith fail not. And then he's left to deny his Lord three times. Peter, where's your assurance? Where's your hope of heaven? Are you ready if the Lord comes? If you are called to stand before him, sad place he got to, but his life is spared and he's brought the other side of it. And his faith is still there. He still loves the Lord. He still trusts the Lord. He still answers the Lord three times, Lord thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I love thee.

And often our lives are like that. We go into places like Peter was in, but then brought out again into a sweet place, a blessed place, a believing place, a place of assurance. but then off and back again, and it's tried again, it's a labor of faith again. But we are to walk by faith, not by the sweet blessings of the love of God in the soul and when everything seems very bright for that song. In most places, In me, that is in Christ, you shall have peace, but in the world you shall have tribulation. And sometimes we're so tossed to and fro and about, you don't know who we are and what we are. Or if we were asked to give a testimony, it is a hope so.

But may we truly be saved and then endure unto the end and be saved. He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. Another reminder here is of what the Apostle says regarding the resurrection. There were those in the Corinthian church that said that there was no resurrection of the dead. The apostle said, if in this life only we have hope in Christ with all men most miserable. And our text then is not looking for just this life, it is looking to the end. It's looking to be saved at the end.

Not just saved from this trial, that trial, and that thing, but our souls saved eternally. So if we have that good hope in the gospel, a hope in the Lord Jesus Christ, unto the Lord, secondly, why God's people shall endure unto the end. Of course there's many, you could go through much of the scriptures and see many reasons why we could say because our Lord Jesus Christ has suffered, bled and died for them, he's purchased them, they are his and he will not lose his purchase. We could speak of the covenant that is ordered in all things and sure again the Lord's promised that he would redeem his people and save them.

Thine they were, thou gavest them thee. There are many of these things, but I just want to confine our thoughts to three passages where we have these same words that are in our text, unto the end. The first one is in Matthew 28 and verse 20. We read these words, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. I want to refer to this passage again a bit later, but at the moment, just to think of these words, that the Lord gives assurance that he is with them, with his people. And lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

The Lord's presence with his people, is this what he has promised? You might say, but our Lord ascended up into heaven. He sat down at the right hand of the throne of God on high. Maybe this is one of the scriptures, again, we can point that our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is both God and man in one person. Because the only way that our Lord can say this is that he is truly God. And so God is everywhere, but in a special sense with his people by his spirit and by his grace. The disciples at one time they puzzled how it was that God should reveal himself to them and not to the world. for their Lord Jesus Christ be revealed to them and not the world.

And our Lord's answer was that it is through the Holy Spirit. The world cannot see the Spirit, and therefore they cannot, they don't believe in Him, they don't partake of the Spirit, but all God's children are indwelled by the Spirit. The Holy Spirit takes up His residence in the souls of those of God's people, those that believe on his name.

It is a sealing of the spirit of truth. And so in this way, I am with you all way, even unto the end of the world. This is a reason why God's people shall endure, because the Holy Spirit is given to them. May we value and prize the Holy Spirit. We are warned that we are to take care lest we grieve the Spirit, whereby we are sealed unto the day of redemption. Those tokens, those sealings are unto that day of redemption or unto the end as it is spoken here. So where we may tremble, where we may feel our weakness, and maybe feel at times so alone, the Lord has said, no, I am with you.

This is one thing that was vividly illustrated with the children of Israel going through the wilderness. When they came out of Egypt, immediately They had the cloud by day, the fire by night, resting over them, and then when the tabernacle was built, over the tabernacle. And it went with them. We read the apostles saying they drank of that spiritual rock that followed them, and that rock was Christ. The Lord was with his ancient people. Yes, they sinned, they rebelled, they tried him, He corrected them, many of them perished, but as a whole they were brought safely to the promised land.

And so it is in this way that we sing in our hymn, let the fiery cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through. So this is the first reason then I bring, my God's people shall endure unto the end. The second one we find in the Gospel according to John, in chapter 13, and verse 1. And this is the love of God.

We read now, before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come, that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end. The love of God. One beautiful chapter concerning this is how Paul finishes the eighth of Romans, and he says this, Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. The Lord has loved his people with an everlasting love and therefore with loving kindness has he drawn them. We have known that drawing love of God. If we have known that love of God that is begotten a love in us we love him because he first loved us then that love will never let go of his people and so what he says here having loved his own which were in the world he loved them unto the end and that's why they shall endure if once we've tasted his love that love shall never be taken away. It is an eternal love.

Read at the end of Psalm 107, who so is wise and will understand these things, and observe these things, even they shall understand the loving kindness of the Lord, and that he won't take away. from his people. Value every time that Lord has given you a love to him. Peter was asked, love us thou may, love us thou may. Value such times. Those times when the Lord has demonstrated his love in things like Psalm 117. Brought down into trials, we've cried unto the Lord, He's delivered us. Not once, but again and again. The Lord's love is demonstrated in that way. It's demonstrated in chastening, as in Hebrews 12.

Again, with a parent to the children, their love is demonstrated to those children. in different ways, sometimes in gifts, sometimes in chastening, sometimes in protection, sometimes in warning, may we be able to discern the love of God to us. And once that has been shown, to be assured of it, that that love will not depart from us. The third one I bring before you is that spoken by Paul to the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians chapter 1.

In verse 8 we read this, Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ? The verses prior, it is so that he come behind in no gift waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. What an attitude, waiting. This is a picture of a lively church, a picture of the Thessalonian church. And they were called, it was to wait for his son, from heaven, I trust that. That is an attitude as we go through life, we may be waiting for the Lord, not dreading the Lord's coming, but waiting for his coming. The apostle says that he was in a strait whether to depart and to be with Christ, which is far better, or to remain for them, absent from the body, present with the Lord. But here he says, who shall also confirm you unto the end. That's something to lay hold of as well. Sometimes we might be tempted, well look, you're a believer. Do you need anything else? Do you really need it confirmed? Can't you rest on that which you've had before or years ago?

But here is a promise the Lord will confirm. His people. Every time He visits in love, every time He protects, when He provides, when He answers prayer, there are many things that we may view. The Lord is confirming His people that they are His people, that they are in the way, that they shall be saved. right down to the end.

Do you think of what is said regarding fruitfulness? The Lord has said, from me is thy fruit found. They shall bring forth fruit in old age. Just because those may be in pilgrim homes, several of them there, they'll be missionaries, very active in their lives in the service of the Lord.

They still bring forth fruit now. in patience and endurance, in helping one another, encouraging those of us who go to minister to them, and being a witness of those whose the mortal tabernacle is taken down, their inward spirit and life is renewed day by day. The Lord confirming his inheritance, setting his seal upon them, whose they are, and that he watches over them. He has bought them with his blood. He is preparing them to be with himself.

So let me not be backward in asking the Lord, especially where we have doubts and fears and troubles, Lord confirm, confirm my soul. Confirm me in the way. I think it was said, someone was asked how they got on with a particular minister. And the answer was, well, he didn't tell me anything new, but he did confirm me. And that's good when we have the word confirmed, our position in Christ confirmed, our interest in his precious blood confirmed. Look for those things.

So these are portions, these three we brought before you, that actually have the words in them unto the end, and many other reasons why God's people shall endure unto the end. I want to look now in the third place of how we are to endure unto the end. How are we to act? What are we to do? Is the scriptures got words that have these words unto the end relative to what we are to do? And yes, there are those passages.

This is where we go back to Matthew 28 and verse 20, and what we read there, teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end. So it's observing all things, and if we join that with what is written to the churches in the Revelation, In Revelation chapter 2 and verse 26, we read this word of the church at Thyatira.

He that overcometh and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations. And to keep the works of the Lord is to keep those things that he has commanded and set before us. This is a similar message that the Old Testament church had. And in Malachi, before we have the 400 year silence before Christ comes, We have the third last verse of the Old Testament. Remember ye the law of Moses my servant which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel with the statutes and judgments.

So in the Lord's ways he's also saying to remember or to teach to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. to all the gospel precepts in how we are to walk and act one to another, how we are to observe the ordinances of the house of God, those things.

The Lord said to those that believed in, recorded in John 8 verse 31, if ye continue in my word, then shall ye be my disciples indeed, follower of Christ, you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free. And so if we are to endure unto the end, how we are to endure is by the patient continuance in well-doing, as set before us in Romans 12. Continuing in the way the Lord has set us in. It's a good thing to think of it, isn't it? The Lord saying, I am the way. And if the Lord has set us in the way, to be following him and in that way, is to continue in that way.

Nearly in every time where one is lost or one doesn't endure until the end, they leave the scriptures. They take up with something else, with philosophy or some other Strange teaching, they go out of the way of understanding, away from the Scriptures. Most solemnly, even those in professed churches start to unpick the Word of God. Don't believe this, don't believe that. Take away its authority.

Well, if we are to endure unto the end, then we continue in the Word of God and how we have begun. The second one you find in Hebrews 3, and that is holding fast our confidence and hope in Christ. There's two verses in this chapter. One is in verse six, but Christ as a son over his own house, whose house are we if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end. Verse 14, for we are made partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast unto the end.

And that we hold fast is not supposing this strength, this help is in ourselves, But it is a real encouragement that we are not to let go of what the Lord has given us. taken a wrong way, but if the Lord has put us in the right way, then we are to maintain that confidence in the Lord. This is why the apostle says, he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it unto the day of Jesus Christ. Satan all the time will tempt a people to go out of the way, turn aside, you have it even with the church at Galatia. Paul speaks of them that had at first received the gospel, the free sovereign grace of God.

And then a false teacher came in amongst them. And he said, unless you are circumcised, you won't be saved. Paul comes and he says, if you're circumcised, then you'll bring yourself under the law. And if you're under the law, you're not under grace. What you've been sold is not another gospel at all. It's not a gospel. It's moving out of the way, and he's very strong with them.

And that can be repeated again and again amongst believers that have at first received the truth, the free and sovereign grace of God, and then they've gone back from that. They've added to it the law, they've added to it things that need to be done by us. But what is set before us here is not claving to our works, but claving and trusting in what the Lord has done, and having confidence in what the Lord has done. May we be encouraged to hold on to that. I remember My dear mother, I believe that she was blessed when she was 19 years of age.

She never told us specifically what it was, but she never lost sight of it or hope of it. When she was coming down to end with cancer, there was one time I said to her, because she was really seeking and seeking for her soul, she was dying, she knew it, and I said to her, Perhaps it is that because you're holding on to this, that you're not blessed. If you let go of that and hung upon the Lord, and she answered with such a strong answer, if I let go of that, I've lost everything. There was no way she would let go of it. And it must have been something that she had pleaded and hung on right through life. The Lord did come and did bless and did favor, give her wonderful peace and blessing before she died.

But it is a reminder, was a reminder to me, that a blessing that seemed to be years ago, she couldn't wouldn't let go because it was a who can tell us a hope sometimes we can have these things i had a blessing years ago in Australia in my workplace, and it was just a fleeting moment that the Lord dropped in the words, yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love, with loving kindness have I drawn thee. But it was no sooner brought to me than it was taken away. And I was left for probably a year or two or more than that, wondering whether that really was the Lord or not. I couldn't really say whether it was the Lord, but I could never forget it or remember it.

And then when we came over here, we'd only been over here a week or two, and we bought a car from down Hayward's Heath, and it went wrong. And I had to stop my secular work and drive down there to get it fixed. And at first I thought, well, I'm going to lose half a day's work here. I could well do without that.

And then I thought, well, the Lord's ordered this, and it may be the Lord will give me a blessing. And so as I started to drive, I prayed that the Lord would make that time, that forced time away from my office, a time of blessing. And I always remember the very place driving along the Common at Hawkhurst, where the Lord dropped in again that same word and immediately brought my memory straight back to my office straight back to where he'd first given it and it's that text that to me it brings the uniting Australia and here because although it's the one text it needed the two sides to make it precious and to really seal it to me. And so I always remember both the places where it was spoken, my office at work in Australia and then on the road, in the car, just passing the field at Hawkehurst.

And so you may have those things that you puzzle over. They're like Mary. You know what happened with our Lord, how when he was lost at 12, before that, when the shepherds, they came speaking of what had been told them, and we read, while other men marveled, she pondered these things and kept them in her heart. Well, she would have had to keep them for 33 years. She would not have had the full interpretation until her son had been crucified, risen again, and the Spirit given, and then she could fully know.

How many years may be you've laid up a text or a word or a hearing time, and you can never forget it, you never pass over it, but it's always a who can tell, and you often mention it in prayer. and ask that the Lord would confirm it and strengthen it.

But with the word here, don't cast that away. Hold fast that which the Lord has given, despising not the day of small things. Ask him to confirm it, to visit again, and to seal that word to you. The third one I bring before you is in Hebrews 6. and verses 9 to 11. And this is to have diligence in the ways of the Lord. He's speaking first, in the earlier part of that chapter, of those that have gone away, those that have fallen away. Solemn word, isn't it? Verse 6, if they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance, seeing they crucified to themselves the Son of God afresh, put into an open shame. But then he says in verse 9, But beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister And we desire that every one of you do show the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end. And he contrasts that in verse 12, that ye be not slothful, but followers of them who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Never does God encourage slothfulness, carelessness, indifference, fatalistic spirit, in his people, but exhorts to diligence in observing the ways of the Lord, in our prayers, our reading, our attendance to the means of grace, our seeking of blessing, and in those practical works of godliness as well.

Whatsoever you do, do heartily, as unto the Lord, and not as unto men. For ye serve the Lord Christ, and occupy till I come. If we are to endure unto the end, the Lord shows us how we are to endure, what we are to be, walking as an Really, in walking in the ways of the Lord and diligent in those ways, we have those daily tokens, whose we are and whom we serve. Because we're able to say, we serve the Lord. Even if we serve a master, even if we serve people in a secular way, we work as unto the Lord and not as unto men. We do it a good job because We testify we are the Lord and we want to do that which honors his name.

So this is a beautiful word, a beautiful promise and a blessed thing if we are found in it. If we are found in this word, he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. May we be found in the text and be blessed with Enduring unto the end. Amen.
