Division of Believers

Matthew 25:11-12

¹¹Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. ¹²But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

This is the division between those that are worthy to be in the bride and those that are not.

Do not think that at the last minute, one can catch up by praying up and getting enough oil.  It does not work that way.  Christianity is not a sprint, it is a marathon.  Christianity better be a lifestyle.  Unfortunately for most, it is just a fire escape out of hell.  Believers are warned throughout the Bible and Yeshua warns us again in Matthew 25:13.

¹³Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Watch comes from the Greek word gregoreuo (G1127).  It means to keep awake and be vigilant.  If one misses this.  They will miss much more than what happens next.  They will not lose salvation; however, they will realize that they did not choose wisely.  There are consequences to not living the best one can in Him.  There are consequences in this lifetime, just before He returns and in the life to come.  The consequences may be more than many realize.

Yes, a believer will always have salvation.  It is reserved in heaven for them by God, 1 Peter 1:4-2.

 ⁴ To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, ⁵ Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

One can only avoid the plagues of the future, when Revelation 18:4 is followed to its full extent.

⁴ And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people,
that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.

Live the life that he has for you in Messiah.  There is still time, do not delay.
