Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 24:13

"But he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved." — Matthew 24:13 (ASV)

Again, our Savior reminded His disciples of the personal responsibility of each one of them in such a time of trial and testing as they were about to pass through. He would have them remember that it is not the man who starts in the race, but the one who runs to the goal, who wins the prize: He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

If this doctrine were not supplemented by another, there would be little good news for poor, tempted, tried, and struggling saints in words like these. Who among us would persevere in running the heavenly race if God did not preserve us from falling and give us persevering grace? But blessed be His name, The righteous shall hold on his way. He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.

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