Correct.
For if after they have escaped the defilements of
the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and
are overcome, the
last state
has become worse for them than the first. For
it would be better for them not to have known the
way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn
away from the holy commandment delivered to them. It
has happened to them according to the true proverb,
"A dog returns to its own vomit," and, "A sow, after
washing, returns to wallowing in the mire." 2 Peter
2:20-22 (NAS) How
often do you reflect on needing to be faithful to God until
the end? Consider what God's word says:
Matthew
10:22 "...but it is the one who has endured to the
end who will be saved. (NAS)
Matthew 24:13 "But the one who
endures to the end, he shall be saved. (NAS)
Mark 13:13 "...but the one who
endures to the end, he shall be saved. (NAS)
Revelation 2:7 'He who has an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat
of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of
God.' (NAS)
Revelation 2:11 'He who has an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the
second death.' (NAS)
Revelation 2:26 'And he who
overcomes, and he who keeps My deeds until the end,
to him I will give authority over the nations; (NAS)
Revelation 3:5 'He who
overcomes shall thus be clothed in white garments;
and I will not erase his name from the book of life,
and I will confess his name before My Father, and
before His angels. (NAS)
Revelation 21:7 "He who
overcomes shall inherit these things, and I will be
his God and he will be My son. (NAS)
