But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul." -- Hebrews 10:38-39"Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
All men need encouragement and fortitude. But only those who persevere to the end show themselves to have been graced with true faith in Christ.
The rest "draw back unto perdition."
And so the writer of Hebrews encourages and comforts...
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works" -- Hebrews 10:23-24"Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
"Good works" being the result of our salvation and not the cause of it.
And nowhere did I say good works cause salvation. Nor does the Church say it.
