It took me awhile to completely understand what these scriptures were exactly conveying when they said "endure until the end."
Now I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that what they are all referring to is one thing, holding onto your Faith by enduring all of the attacks that will come against it throughout your entire Life. They aren't talking about enduring struggle, they aren't talking about enduring pain, they aren't talking about enduring hard times, they are talking about enduring attacks against your Faith, and that's it.
These attacks come from every source imaginable, including yourself. They come from Evil, they come from all kinds of people including other Christians, they come from misunderstandings, they even come from your own flesh.
The one thing that you are required to do by God in order to keep your Salvation is to hold onto your Faith, and that's it. Everything else has already been done for you. Your good works mean absolutely nothing regarding your Salvation. Only by holding onto your Faith (or returning to it if you have fallen away), until you take your last breath, are you ensured Salvation.
So that means you have to guard your Faith until the end. No matter what you do, or no matter what anyone does to you, or what you perceive.
That's all you have to do. Hold onto your Faith, and That's it. If you do, you will be with God forever. It's written in His Holy Word.
You could be the worst sinner of all Christians, and as long as you hold onto your Faith in Jesus Yeshua the Christ until the day you die, it won't matter. You will be saved according to the Word of God. You will receive Eternal Life.
Romans 8:31: What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
