That's part of it - surely, we are to "overcome" Antichrist, yes.
However, Jesus Himself tells Christians specifically what we must "endure to the end" if we're going to be saved, and it's found in the very preceding verse, but the OSAS crowd has taken over the church and can't preach truth to which they are blind to begin with, so that's why I'm here:
"And because iniquity shall abound, the "agape" of many shall wax cold, but he that shall endure to the end, the same shall be saved."
What is it that the Christian must endure and not allow to kill his "agape" love cold and dead, lest he be lost?
Iniquity aka habitual, deliberate, known sin from which he refuses to repent...because his refusal to repent is the outward evidence that Jesus is no longer sitting enthroned on his heart.

amen most importantly connecting to salvation we’re going to be judged by our works so they have to be important to our salvation , the hypervrsce doctrine has really corrupted a lot of both inking in the church
why are works for sure and absolutely important to the salvation of believers ?
“For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; and hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, and shall come forth;
they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life;
and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.”
John 5:26-29
thier works are important
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”
2 Corinthians 5:10-11 KJV
our works are important in the church
“Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
Who will render to every man according to his deeds: to them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life:
but unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;
but glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: for there is no respect of persons with God.”
Romans 2:4-11
it’s important to every soul for salvation jew or gentile make or female everyone is the same will be judged by our works our deeds we do in this world . And we will all seer to one mans word one mans judgement
We learn the right ways to live and things to do here and it promises salvation
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”
John 5:24 KJV
because that’s the judgement word we face if we reject it we’re rejecting Gods words of eternal Life which is salvstion it’s the judgement we face
“He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.”
John 12:48-50 KJV
all Christian’s and non Christian’s have to answer to the gospel word of Jesus Christ whether we believe it or reject it and our deeds are what will be judged by so what we do knowing what Christ did becomes important

Where does Jesus say, "if you quit believing in Me, I'll quit saving you"?
I asked you a question. Are you capable of an answer, or are you just going to continue to ignore my questions and keep asking yours?
You have a very serious problem.
1. you have NO verses that say what you claim.
2. you believe Matt 24:13 says endurance is required for salvation, in spite of Jesus saying that those He gives eternal life shall never perish.
3. your theology creates a serious contradiction in the Bible.
4. you don't answer any questions.
Those who know the truth CAN answer questions.
