Everybody is not a winner

Eternal life is not for everybody, it is only for those who endure until the very end. Somebody asked Jesus whether those who are being saved are few and He said,:”Narrow is the door, straight is the gate that leads to life and few there be that find it.”

There are many who receive the hope of salvation because if you accept Jesus as your Lord and you are baptized in water and you start following Him then you only have the HOPE of salvation, IF YOU ENDURE UNTIL THE VERY END. But many think that they have already arrived, but they have never started following Jesus. Discipleship requires ENDURANCE and DISCIPLINE. Discipleship stands for discipline, SELF-DISCIPLINE. You need to discipline yourself every day to follow Jesus Christ or else you won't do it!

A professional athlete does not get to the top just because he started training or he started going to the gym. He has got to push Himself to the limit and then often it is not even good enough. The same with following Jesus, not everybody is going to make it, very few will make it. Very few will endure until the every end. Most will drop out. Only very few will make it and will enter in. Are you one of the few? Or are you one of those who thinks that because he has said:”Lord Jesus I love You” now he is saved? NO, dear friend! ITS ONLY THE START OF THE RACE, now the hard work starts! But if you don't build those muscles, if you don't train, if you don't strain and put everything into it, you are not going to make it.

WITHOUT RIGHTEOUSNESS, WITHOUT HOLINESS, WITHOUT ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE TO JESUS CHRIST, you won't make it! It might cost your life? Not everybody is going to make it, only very few! Those who FOLLOW Jesus, who LISTEN to His voice and who ENDURE until; the very end, they are the ones that will make it. The rest, they have got no chance. They disqualify themselves.

Are you in the race? Have you started the race? Are you following Jesus or do you think that you are already saved and secure, on your way to heaven? NO dear friend, EVERYBODY IS NOT A WINNER. Everybody that starts the race does not finish it, only those who run in such a way that they finish the race. You need to endure. You need to follow Jesus until the very very end.

May Jesus bless you.
