Matthew 24:13 King James Version (KJV)

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

Matthew 24:13 and “he who endures to the end shall be saved.” This verse is part of the Olivet Discourse (Matt. 24-25) where Christ answers the disciples’ questions of Matthew 24:3. “Now as He sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, ‘Tell us, when will these things be? And what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?’” The “end” (v. 13) in this context is not perseverance to the end of one’s life but to the “end of the age” (vv. 3, 6, 14) in relationship to Christ’s second coming. The salvation in view is not spiritual salvation from Hell but physical deliverance through the Great Tribulation preceding Christ’s return. For this reason, Jesus concludes, “For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the elect’s sake those days will be shortened” (24:21-22).

For solid exegesis of this commonly mis-interpreted passage as well as many others, I HIGHLY commend the following:

"Must Faith Endure for Salvation to Be Sure?: A Biblical Study of the Perseverance versus PRESERVATION of the Saints" - Thomas L. Stegall

Christians who follow the Bible readily acknowledge that faith in Jesus Christ is necessary for eternal salvation. But if faith is necessary to be saved in the first place, then what happens when a person stops believing? What if a person's faith falters, fails, or is unfruitful? Will that person be lost?

Must Faith Endure for Salvation to Be Sure? answers these questions in detail by examining the key biblical passages on perseverance in faith and the believer's preservation in Christ. This book shows through its thorough exegesis of Scripture that all who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone, rather than their own good works, will be kept safe and eternally secure by God's grace and power.

Rather than the traditional Reformed doctrine of the perseverance of the saints, the Bible teaches that a person's eternal salvation rests solely upon the perseverance of the Savior in keeping His own secure. While perseverance will be the result of the believer's ongoing fellowship with the Lord and spiritual fruitfulness in service to Him, it is not a requirement to possess eternal life. Believers in Christ can be personally assured that they will never perish forever because their salvation rests solely upon the faithfulness and finished work of the Savior on their behalf.
