Yeshua said plainly that we must endure to the end in his Father’s covenant.

That is true, but it is also true that one who has not obtained salvation by completely, wholly, and irreversibly committing trust in Jesus alone, and has not received the indwelling Spirit, will not and cannot endure, but will fail, for which there is no other cure.

One who is determined not to abandon the false hope of salvation by works cannot even be pitied, because such a person will have no excuse (Rom. 1:16-22, esp v. 19).

And His Father's Covenant now is no longer the one upon which the Jewish religion was based. The conditions of that old covenant have been completely fulfilled, it has been done away with, abolished, and is deader than a doornail, never to be revived. For instance, everyone who insists on rewards for mimicking Jewishness, of "keeping Torah," thinking that it saves, will get exactly what they deserve: Sheol.

His Father's New Covenant is that it is His Son Jesus who takes away the sins of His People, the humans who believe and follow Him. The simplest form of the saving Gospel is found in Matthew 1:21:

"And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins."

Only He, and He Alone can save, and that through His Blood alone. No other human, in any way, shape, or manner can bring about their own salvation. No one. Jesus does not participate with anyone else in the saving process of a person. And, Alone, He executes it perfectly. He cannot fail, and neither does His salvation. A person is involved in his own sanctification, yes; in his own saving, no.

Keep up rejecting His only plan of perfect salvation and life that never ceases, and God will be fair with you. You will get what you deserve. ======

Jesus Never Fails

Earthly friends may prove untrue,
Doubts and fears assail;
One still loves and cares for you;
One who will not fail.

Tho' the sky be dark and drear,
Fierce and strong the gale,
Just remember He is near,
And He will not fail.

In life's dark and bitter hour,
Love will still prevail;
Trust His everlasting pow'r,
Jesus will not fail.

Chorus:

Jesus never fails,
Jesus never fails,
Heav'n and earth may pass away,
But Jesus never fails.

========

I trust in Jesus, completely, in everything. Everything.

“Trust in Jesus alone” is doing and obeying as he did.

That is the obedience to the vow of the covenant!

The establishment of the covenant, and its renewal in sinless blood is the Gospel of the Kingdom.

what else do you think it could be?

John’s first epistle gives the cure for our sins, day by day: Confession and repentance!
