Is It Written Whether We Will Endure To The End?
Hello Mike,
Love your site still. Your site shows more understanding of God’s sovereignty than any other! Thank you for your hard work of your writing with scriptures and your staff.
I read “FAQ” in “What is the Difference Between Knowing and Believing We Are God’s Elect”. I learned you said:There again is that pronoun ‘we.’ ‘In whom we have obtained an inheritance according to the purpose of Him who works all things after the counsel of His own will,’ in no way whatever contradicts the fact that ‘He that endureth to the end shall be saved.’
We must ‘endure to the end’ before we experience ‘The manifestation of the sons of God.’So, if the person is to endure to the end to be saved, and that is not in himself, it is of God. Suppose the person failed to endure or fell from grace or if he preach to others but is cast out then was it all really of God’s purpose before they were born? Like David and Malachi said:
Psa 139:16 Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them.
Mal 3:16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.I believe “they that feared the Lord” and “he that endureth to the end shall be saved” were written in God’s book even before they were born. And if they failed to fear the Lord or gave up enduring to the end it was still written in the book from God before they were born. Am I understanding correctly?
Thank you very much of your site, amazing!

Hi B____,
It is good to hear from you! Thank you for your encouraging words. Yes, you are exactly right. Whether we endure to the end or fail to endure to the end, it was all “the days that were ordained for me and were written in thy book… before there were any of them.”
Psa 139:16 Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them.
Hope this answers your question for you,
Mike
