Nonsense. We were once wicked and now have obtained mercy. God is not one to give a gift and take it back. No its not nonsense. You think Jesus was just joking?
Matthew 6:14 "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 "But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
You must perserve to the end.

2Co 4:1-2 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart, but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. We HAVE RECEIVED mercy-past tense. We HAVE RENOUNCED the world because we now understand our shame.
We must persevere until the end-yes. We will persevere because of our Lord Jesus. Not because of anything WE can do.
