" Therefore, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets us, looking unto Jesus, The Author and perfecter of our faith....".[hEBREWS 12:1-3]
What is the essential ingredient we must posess in order to ...'make it'' !...
We must have faith...but that in itself is not enough !... to ensure our eternal reward !!!
We must... P-E-R-S-I-S-T......until the end ...
Remember the great American phrase...'It ain't over until it's over' !!!!!!!!!!!...????????
So there's NO going back....... giving up....... .packing in....... 'throwing in the towel'..... .or whatever else is used to descibe a defeatist attitude !!!..
.Instead we will be the ones who ...like our GLORIOUS PREDECESSOR... THE LORD JESUS. CHRIST..............persist ...........
Why?............because our eyes are fixed on the eternal..........not the temporal...!!! ..............
May The Lord Bless you.
