Abide in Me

"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me." John 15.4

To abide in Him means persevering to follow Him. Everyone has the power to decide whether to continue or to quit it. Jesus gives us the right to choose to continue or quit walking with Him, and if we choose to abide in Him, then He will remain in us. Otherwise, no deal. Nobody can blame others or the devil for failing to follow the path of salvation.

Persevere

"But he who endures to the end shall be saved." Matthew 24.13

Certainly, perseverance has not been the strongest trait of the majority. However, there is no other alternative to achieve the salvation of the soul.
Why?
Because the devil perseveres in his quest of getting back the souls he lost. And whoever is more perseverant wins. Those who get discouraged lose.
That is why Jesus exhorts us to persevere to the end.

LIKE A WAVE OF THE SEA

"But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind."    James 1.6

Just like a ray of light breaks through the darkness, faith does the same with doubts. But that does not mean that doubt will give up. Persevering in believing what is written in the Word of God is the only way to get rid of your doubts. 

TEETH AND NAILS

"But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience."        Luke 8:15

Only 1 out of every 4 people that hears the word, bears fruit.
Out of every 4 who hear the Word of God, only 1 keeps it and gives good fruit.
What is this person's secret of success?
They listen and practice, listen and practice, listen and practice...
In other words, they fight, persevere and defend their faith with teeth and nails, even if they have to go against the world all by themselves.

Safely Kept

"Because you have kept my word about patient endurance, I will keep you from the hour of trial that is coming on the whole world, to try those who dwell on the earth."

Revelations 3:10

We have been seen catastrophes coming against many nations, bringing about pain, death and suffering. But God's chosen ones, those who have been persevering, will be spared from the trials of the final days.

To Do

"But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does." James 1:25

The realisation of dreams by faith depends on the constant practice of the Word of God. And the promises will be fulfilled in a natural way.
