Remain in faith unto the end,but there are people that err from the faith.
Faith is the substance of things hoped for,the evidence of things not seen.
Jesus said,blessed is he that has not seen Me,but still believes.
Without faith it is impossible to please God,for we must come to Him knowing He exists,and is a rewarder to all who diligently seek Him.
It is not enough to believe,and confess Christ,for we must have the proper perspective of faith,for that faith to be effective in our life.
We must have the proper perspective of God,and His kingdom,for us to have true faith.
We cannot say we have faith,and then not have a proper perspective of God,and His kingdom,for does the vice president go against the president,or is he with him,and does he have the proper perspective of his position,or is he going against the agenda of the president,and his cabinet,and what he is trying to achieve.
God hates sin,and says it is sin that separates us from Him.In the Old Testament they could not have the Spirit.In the New Testament we can have the Spirit,and the Bible says a Spirit led life can abstain from sin,for if the person does not want sin,and hates sin,and allows the Spirit to lead them,they can abstain from sin,for God will not allow them to be tempted more than they are able,and will give them an escape from the temptation so they are able to bear it.
People that say we cannot abstain from sin as if it is impossible,and hold unto sin,does not have the proper perspective of God,and His kingdom,that He hates sin,and wants us to abstain from sin by His Spirit,and there is no excuse,for the man Christ Jesus is the judge of the world,for He obtained access to heaven,so no one has an excuse for the same power is there for us by the Spirit,and His kingdom represents goodness.
If a person does not continue in God's goodness they shall be cut off,and were a lot of people even saved in the first place,for did they truly repent,for how could they if they believe we cannot abstain from sin.
God is love,and His kingdom love,and God only blesses with our needs,and not our wants,and John said if anyone has the means to feed the poor,but they do not,then the love of God does not dwell in them,and Paul said they have erred from the faith,and James said faith is void in their life.
The prosperity Gospel,and people that believe God blesses with material things,and money,does not have the proper perspective of God,and His kingdom.
If they try to obtain wants,and spend money on entertainment,and things of the world,they do not have the proper position of faith.
For to have faith we must not only believe,and confess Christ,but we must also have the proper perspective of faith,or it is not faith,for how can someone say they are following someone,and their agenda,and then go contrary to it,for how are they truly for them.
If people believe we cannot abstain from sin,and hold unto sin because they think they cannot beat it,and spend money on their wants,and worldly enjoyment,instead of helping the poor,then they do not have the proper perspective of God,and His kingdom,so how do they think they are right with God,and we can have the Holy Spirit to give us the proper perspective to have true faith.
If we do not have the proper perspective we do not have true faith,and it is void in our life.
Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
Gal 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.
Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.
Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
Rom 11:21 For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

1Jn 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1Jn 2:17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
1Ti 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
1Ti 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
1Ti 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
1Ti 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain.
1Ti 6:7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.
1Ti 6:8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.
2Pe 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2Pe 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
2Pe 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
Rev 3:16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Rev 3:17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
Look at it,look at the world,there are millions of them out there,not abstaining from sin,believing we cannot beat sin,holding unto sin,being worldly,neglecting the poor,caring about material,and money,prosperity,believing the prosperity Gospel.
All the while they think they are right,and will ignore the multitude of scriptures that testify against them,being fleshy,and not spiritual,gumming up the works of representing the truth of God,and His kingdom,hypocrites,causing people to turn their backs on Christianity,leave it,and ignore it.
2Co 6:3 Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed.
