Endurance Required

I have listed below most of the scriptures that indicate Christians must endure or continue in the faith in order to recieve the promise of salvation. The word that is translated as ENDURE MEANS TO ABIDE, TO STAY IN PLACE, TO REMAIN, ETC.

Matt. 24:13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Mark 4:16 And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; 17 And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.

Mark 13:13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Col. 1:21-23 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled 22 In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: 23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel,

1 Tim. 4:14-16 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. 15 Meditate upon these things; give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all. 16 Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.

1 John 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

Heb. 10:35-36 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward. 36 For ye have need of patience, {endurance} that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
