Jesus has told the Children of God what will happen. That things would get hard. Matthew 24 is one example. This is the true test of a person's heart, the sheep are being separated from the goats; Matthew 25:31-46. Today we see those that were not true of heart, they stop believing. I have read it on here; "I was raised a Christian, but, then I got smart"! Ha! Well, sad as it may be (In my opinion), they failed to persevere.
One of my little "Pet Peeves" are the supposed Christians (JW's, Church of Christ, Baptist, Pentecostal etc., etc., the list goes on and on & there are true Christians in these places), then they want people to believe they the only Church or Kingdom Hall that going to Heaven. Well, the test will come one day for many of them and myself. Read Revelation 13:11-18 Read very closely verses 16-17!!! Because everyone who "Think" they the only ones going to Heaven will have to lose "everything"!!! Homes, Cars etc. can not pay Taxes without the mark, OR, they Will cease to persevere!

Everyone is a sinner destine to hell .God is giving a FREE gift to everyone that will turn from their ways. He wants believers to let every one know they have the chance to go to heaven .Mark 16:15 "Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature".

because the race is not givne to swift nor to the strong, but to the one who endures. That says enough right there in that scripture. God let's us know if we hold on our reward will come. Hold on!
