Why do so many Christians think that Jesus' command to follow Him means only until they don't want to anymore" For those that think they are still a follower of Jesus while living in unrepentant sin, I say, be prepared to hear on that day, "Depart from Me. I NEVER knew you, you who continue in sin." despite your cries of all the good you have done, miracles you participated in, churches you attended or even calling Him 'Lord, Lord'...the key is found in the letters to all seven churches...He who endures to the end will be saved. Not that you can lose what God has given....but don't assume that you have been given grace if your "apple tree" only bears lemons.
