Matthew 24:13
Excerpted from: The Wonderful Ordinance of Water Baptism

The reward of the firstfruits of the Kingdom is so great, because it is such a narrow and difficult way for those who follow God's call, and are placed in God's church by God. Following Christ is a lifetime commitment.

Matthew 24:13 tells us that those who endure to the end will be saved. A lack of total commitment has terrible consequences. As Luke 9:62 says, no one who looks back is fit for the Kingdom of God. If people fall away after receiving God's Spirit, they will not repent.
