Looking for ways people understand Matthew 24:13. "But he who endures to the end shall be saved." I have always believed in eternal salvation -once saved always saved, but this is an example of a verse that causes me pause on that topic. Then in trying to understand it based on this belief, I run into end times issues in terms of who is this verse talking to. If it's talking to Israel, then I can reconcile the issues I run into with salvation. If it's Israel, then the rememant is those who endure to the end during the tribulation. However, in that understanding, my previous understanding of the entire passage is called into question. I run into big issues with this passage depending on which way I go to reconcile it. Either way, a major part of my previous understanding is challenged.

Are Christians Required To Keep the Law? Summary and Conclusions Is the law abolished? Yes! As Christ fulfilled the Torah by coming prophetically and by paying our sin debt. We have the Holy Spirit in us now to be led by Him and His word to expose our hearts full of sin! Are our efforts to keep the law abolished? Yes, because no one could as humans. Remember His Body was broken for us. All of our efforts are "filthy rags." Our sin debt is paid. The Holy Spirit is now in us and teaching us "away" from ungodliness! Titus 2:11-12 https://biblestudycompany.com/blog/article/211

Dr . Baruch of Loveisrael.org and Ric Joyner of Biblestudycompany.com discuss the topic of law-keeping. Dr. Baruch brings a unique perspective to our discussion, which is the Jewish Context. A biblical study principle is to know who the text is writing to, and an attempt is made to determine how the audience would understand what was said. Dr. Baruch lives in Israel and has a Ph.D. in Jewish studies. He also has Orthodox Rabbinic training. Some gems Baruch lays out. 1. Judaism is not Torah Observant today. Those who claim to be Torah keeping need to be aware that over 250 "laws" or instructions are related to the Temple being in place. Thus, no one is a true Torah Keeper. 2. There are many versions of Judaism in the US. 3. The "Law" is a unit. If we cannot keep the "law" with no temple in place, the whole law is "broken." We can learn much about spiritual truth from the TORAH, and that should be our focus when studying the Torah. 4. We all must base our doctrine on the Word of God and our study with the Holy Spirit. We should not follow men. 5. We are saved by grace alone, through faith alone as Abraham was. There is more at this link: https://biblestudycompany.com/blog/article/210

Live Bible Study with Erv Puckett. The secrets of the Voice of God? Two good friends have a live podcast/video of a bible study the way Bible Study Company studies. Grab your Bible, your beverage, Biblestudycompany.com, and your friends to join us for this engaging study. Is the wilderness going into the desert to be with God? Are we called "out" of the world (Egypt) but still be in it? We discuss these topics and why knowing what "dabbar" means is crucial in our bible study. One of the names of God is YHVH (Jehovah) Dabbar which translates to Jehovah Speaks. And when God speaks...we need to listen. But is there a difference between a casual conversation (amar) that indicates a relationship with God and God's revelation (dabbar)? Yes, there are differences! Then we need to ask: "Lord, what is the difference between God's revelation and God's casual conversation with us?" Do we receive "new" revelation today? No, because we have complete Scripture called the Bible, which has Genesis to Revelations. But we do have a relationship with God, and He does speak to us and He does illuminate to us Biblical truths. Let's find out the differences! Join us! Please share your thoughts, and please share. https://biblestudycompany.com/blog/article/206

Our latest Podcast/video Ever experience doubt? "When in doubt..." they say. Let's ask God questions. God is our Creator, and we cannot see into a spiritual realm, but we can *hear*, *see*, and *experience* a relationship with Christ; doubts come with the territory. Even the disciples doubted in more instances than we typically realize. Our special guest is Kedar Joyner, our daughter, artist, techie, Trekkie, and User Experience Designer for the University of Wisconsin. Together we discuss growing up in a Christian home but finding her way through doubt and developing our assurance of faith in Christ through understanding sound biblical study principles. https://biblestudycompany.com/blog/article/205
