Who Shall Be Saved ?

THE disciples at one time asked: “Are there few that be saved?” Jesus gave no direct answer, but said: “Strive to enter in at the strait gate.” Whatever may be the destiny of others, if we would be saved, we must be in earnest about it. There are difficulties in the way, and an earnest effort is needed to overcome them. The way is open, but we must strive to enter in. Christ has died, but we must believe in him if we would be saved. We must be new creatures in Christ Jesus, we must be born again. And we must be watchful and prayerful, and persevere unto the end. For if Jesus tells us not whether many or few shall be saved, he does tell us who shall be saved—he that endureth unto the end, the same shall be saved. He that endures! To endure, we must believe in Christ, we must depend on his grace and we must use the means he has appointed; we must read the word, watch and pray, walk in the strait and narrow way, and ever confide in him who alone can keep us unto the end. May we endure unto the end, so that we may be saved. —Sel.
