What does, “But the one who endures to the end will be saved” mean?

I think one of the major issues of contention, whether or not The Elect of God, Christians, will go through the Great Tribulation, is due to a major misunderstanding of the scripture in both Ephesians 2:8 and Matthew 24:13. It is my hope this article saved in my favorites file for years now will assist in clearing that up.

In Matt 24:13, Jesus says the famous words:

But the one who endures to the end will be saved. (ESV)​

Perhaps the most common understanding of this passage is that we must endure in good works to the end of our physical lives to be saved from hell. This understanding contradicts Paul’s words in Eph 2:8a:

For by grace you have been saved through faith. (ESV)​

Notice two differences between Eph 2:8a and Matt 24:13: First, the Matt 24:13 salvation is by enduring whereas the Eph 2:8a salvation is by grace through faith. Second, the Matt 24:13 salvation is future (“will be saved,” from the Greek future tense, sothesetai) whereas the Eph 2:8a salvation is past (“have been saved,” from the Greek perfect tense sesosmenoi). Salvation from hell was by grace through faith and has already happened to me, so what is the future salvation by endurance that Jesus is talking about in Matt 24:13? The answer is in the context.
Matthew 24:13 is part of an answer to the question that Jesus’ disciples asked earlier in the chapter:

As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” (Matt 24:3 ESV)​

It makes sense that the salvation in vs 13 should be in the future tense; after all, the disciples are asking about the future. Specifically, they were asking about the 7-year tribulation period. One reason we know that the Tribulation is in view is because Jesus says that the abomination of desolation (which Daniel talks about in Dan 9) will occur during this period. We also know that this is the tribulation because they asked immediately after Jesus said that not one stone of the temple would be left on another – surely a reference to the replacement of the 2nd temple with the temple that Ezekiel writes about in Ez 40-48.

Yep. There are still stones on top of each other.

We already know that the salvation in question is not salvation from hell, so what is it a salvation from? In verse 22, Jesus indicates that salvation from physical death is in mind:

And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. (ESV)​

When Jesus says, “He who endures to the end will be saved,” He does not mean that you must be good until you die to be saved from hell. He is talking about a specific group of people in the future who will need to endure to the end of the tribulation in order to be saved from physical death.
Understanding Matt 24:13 is good news for several reasons. It’s good news to know that we don’t need to endure to the end of the Tribulation because we aren’t in the Tribulation. It’s also good news to know that we won’t even be in the Tribulation, in fact, this is the doctrine that Paul points to for us to encourage each other with.1 Perhaps most of all, it’s a relief to know that we can take Jesus at His word to give eternal life to whomever believes in Him for it:

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. (John 5:24 ESV)​

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. (John 5:24 ESV)​

​

​

The kingdoms of the world get more and more powerful, with the media of TV, Movies, and newspapers pounding us with their rules, ideas, and ways. The media has even created an idol of their ideas instead of iron and stone for us to believe in called "The Farce".​

​

Many of our churches are following these ideas instead of having faith in what Christ tells us. They say to fight for our rights, and Christ says love and do good for our enemies. They make leaders ones who can entertain us or can throw some ball perfectly, and Christ says our leaders are servants. They praise beautiful homes and cars and Christ says to not lay up treasures on the earth but treasures in heaven. Christ gives joy, they give pleasure.​

​

Good citizens of the kingdom of heaven live eternally, the world is temporary.​

Sin = death
we need salvation from sin which is the cause of all pain and death.
Matt 24 and Eph 2 do not contradict each other. It is by faith that we are saved and freed from death, but faith without works is dead. The verses are looking at the means to be saved and the result of being saved. By faith in Jesus we can endure and be born again, which results in a Christ-like life.

1Jn 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.
1Jn 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

By faith we endure to the end.

Why not just read the article instead of going over the same arguments generated in other threads?


You confuse our facing earthly conflict due to our faith with that what is described as The Day of the Lord, The Day of Wrath, aka, the Great Tribulation.

We endure conflicts in this world due to our faith sustaining us. Our level of endurance doesn't secure our Salvation.

would you reword the the scripture to say.,,,Those that endure to the end are already saved?

 

[arthurfleminger]

This scripture means exactly what it says, very clear. Those who endure until the end will be saved. Those that believe in Jesus and follow His teachings until the end of their lives will be saved. Those that don't practice the faith until the end of their lives are in jeopardy.

'Those who endure until the end will be saved is a clear repudiation of 'once saved always saved'.

 

[p_rehbein]

John 3:16 says "whosoever believeth on Him"

This believeth is NOT a one time thing. It is a never ending believing in Jesus. This is the explanation for "he who endures to the end."

Those who remain steadfast in their belief in Jesus until the end of their lives, are those that shall be saved.

Matthew 24:13 does not stand by itself in Scripture. It is one part of what Jesus was teaching..........context necessary.......

4And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
5For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
6And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
7For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
10And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.
11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
12And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.
13But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

FYI: we are currently living in the Tribulations/end times............MARANATHA!

Yeah, there is eternal salvation and then being delivered from persecution, trials, etc... 'saved' in the sense of daily deliverance.

Getting the difference right in the context of scripture is very key.

' I got saved from drowning'

'I got saved from eternal death '


Big differences

 

[rayzor]

it was the best of times it was the worst of times it was the epoch of hope it was the epoch of despair in short it was very much like today.Same old same old like the days of Noah,,,Lai lah tov = good night.

 

[justbyfaith]

I think that James 1:12 can be applied to the verse in question (Matthew 10:22).

 

[DavidTree]

This was good until you "added to the LORD's words what HE did not say"

You said: "Understanding Matt 24:13 is good news for several reasons. It’s good news to know that we don’t need to endure to the end of the Tribulation because we aren’t in the Tribulation. It’s also good news to know that we won’t even be in the Tribulation,"

These are your words and Not the words of the Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 24.

Nowhere, not one verse does the LORD say you will be pre-trib raptured. JESUS never says you will be pre-trib raptured.

This is a clear example of how a false doctrine emerges from a carnal mind and in opposition to the Holy Spirit.

Jesus is the Bridegroom - Matt 9:14-15 His Disciples are the Bride - John 3:29

Matthew chapter 24 - the Bride of Christ asking Jesus: “Tell us,” they said, “when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age?”

Matthew ch24 is about the Second Coming of Christ - adding word's to Christ's, pre-trib, comes from satan.
Jesus said: let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.

Matthew 24: 29-31
Immediately after the tribulation of those days:
‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken.’

At that time the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and all the tribes of the earth will mourn.
They will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory.
And He will send out His angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather His elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Compare TRUTH with TRUTH = Acts 1:9-11

After Jesus had said this, they watched as He was taken up, and a cloud hid Him from their sight. They were looking intently into the sky as He was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. “Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky?
This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen Him go into heaven.”

Seek to please God by only speaking TRUTH - Thy Word is TRUTH.

If you seek to please men, satan will fill you with lies.

Every word of God is flawless;
He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.
Do not add to His words,
lest He rebuke you and prove you a liar. - Proverbs 30: 5-6

Beautiful Scripture and Truth - there will be those whom the Lord hides until His Coming.

 

[justbyfaith]

Beautiful Scripture and Truth - there will be those whom the Lord hides until His Coming.

Some say it refers to a pre-tribulation rapture.

For I would even ask the question, how will those who remain on the earth be hidden from what is going to happen in Revelation 13 and 14? For that is going to affect all who dwell on the face of the earth at that time.

In Matt 24:13, Jesus says the famous words:

But the one who endures to the end will be saved. (ESV)​

Perhaps the most common understanding of this passage is that we must endure in good works to the end of our physical lives to be saved from hell. This understanding contradicts Paul’s words in Eph 2:8a:

For by grace you have been saved through faith. (ESV)​

Notice two differences between Eph 2:8a and Matt 24:13: First, the Matt 24:13 salvation is by enduring whereas the Eph 2:8a salvation is by grace through faith. Second, the Matt 24:13 salvation is future (“will be saved,” from the Greek future tense, sothesetai) whereas the Eph 2:8a salvation is past (“have been saved,” from the Greek perfect tense sesosmenoi). Salvation from hell was by grace through faith and has already happened to me, so what is the future salvation by endurance that Jesus is talking about in Matt 24:13? The answer is in the context.
Matthew 24:13 is part of an answer to the question that Jesus’ disciples asked earlier in the chapter:

As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” (Matt 24:3 ESV)​

It makes sense that the salvation in vs 13 should be in the future tense; after all, the disciples are asking about the future. Specifically, they were asking about the 7-year tribulation period. One reason we know that the Tribulation is in view is because Jesus says that the abomination of desolation (which Daniel talks about in Dan 9) will occur during this period. We also know that this is the tribulation because they asked immediately after Jesus said that not one stone of the temple would be left on another – surely a reference to the replacement of the 2nd temple with the temple that Ezekiel writes about in Ez 40-48.

Yep. There are still stones on top of each other.

that's alright.

For I would even ask the question, how will those who remain on the earth be hidden from what is going to happen in Revelation 13 and 14? For that is going to affect all who dwell on the face of the earth at that time.

Good Morning Brother and thank you for the Question.
The LORD always wants us to know the Truth from His Word and the best part is - We need not add to it - Amen.

The life and story of Elijah and Jezebel is a perfect example of Believers in great tribulation and enduring to the end by the Power of God.
And there he went into a cave, and spent the night in that place; and behold, the word of the Lord came to him, and He said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
So he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.”

What was God's response? Yet I have reserved(KEPT) seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

No pre-trib lie for Elijah. The faithful were slaughtered by Jezebel and even in this great tribulation God KEPT/Reserved/Remained
7,000 Faithful Witnesses.

WAIT, WAIT you say - Elijah was raptured - Yes he was, but Not pre-trib - He was in it from the beginning all the way to the end.

Why did God rapture Elijah then? ANSWER: Who are the Two Witnesses in Revelation ???

Maybe now we are getting to the TRUTH.

Do not add to God's words - satan does that

 

[justbyfaith]

Jesus said that the church would have tribulation in this world.

He did not say that the church would go through the Great Tribulation.

For that is the wrath of God on a Christ-rejecting world (Zephaniah 1:14-15, Luke 21:23).

And God has not appointed us to wrath (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

 

[DavidTree]

Jesus said that the church would have tribulation in this world.

He did not say that the church would go through the Great Tribulation.

For that is the wrath of God on a Christ-rejecting world (Zephaniah 1:14-15, Luke 21:23).

And God has not appointed us to wrath (1 Thessalonians 5:9).

Stay with what Jesus said: "In the world you will have tribulation" and this includes all who are waiting for His Coming.

And YES, the LORD did say we will go through the Great Tribulation - He said it Matthew and in Revelation.

Now show me that Scripture that says: 'Jesus said; you will not go through the Great Tribulation' ???
