Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing (that you really are Saved), that ye may abound in hope (that all the Promises the Lord has for His Followers, really ARE for His Followers), through the power of the Holy Ghost (working in you to direct your paths into all things that Christ has for you). And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another (to teach, test, exhort, and if needed, rebuke one another to stay True to The Faith and to Finish The Race). Romans 15:13-14. That in the End, each one of you will hear those coveted Words, "Well done thou Good and Faithful Servant, enter thou into the Joy of thy Lord". Here's an illustration, and I'm speaking only from "hear-say". You join the military with the full intent of becoming one of the Elite Rangers. One hundred men start off in training KNOWING that only three will actually graduate and become a Ranger. Everyone back home is rooting for you to make it. Your Commander is pushing you to do your very best, AND all the while, looking for your very worst. Every man is physically able to succeed, but does he really WANT to succeed? The teaching is EXTREMELY Challenging and most are not WILLING to push through to the very End. They give up for whatever reason, the point here is, THEY GIVE UP. Something was too demanding and they weren't willing to change their ways to meet the demand. Only three of the one hundred were totally willing to conform to the required demands of their Commander. Today, "everyone" thinks they are a Christian and /or are going to Heaven, but in reality, very few actually qualify. Through trials, troubles, testing, tribulations, situations, and circumstances, the Holy Spirit is "winnowing down the herd" until only His True Followers, are still standing. Christ won't cast ANYONE aside, but they WILL "leave" him of their own free will. Follow Christ, and, Be Blessed.
