The Die-hards

Matthew 10:22 - You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved - This scripture verse is short, but I think it packs a big message. While the first part of it tells us what we can expect from the world for following Christ, the second part seems to imply that some who follow him will fall away. I wonder if that will be the rebellion told about in 2 Thessalonians 2:3 (Don’t let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the man doomed to destruction.) The man of lawlessness (a.k.a. the anti-Christ) will convince many that Christ is not who he says he is. He'll probably say some of the things we've already been hearing like "the Bible makes no sense and is outdated", or "if God was coming he'd have been here by now" or something similar. Recognizing him will be easy by comparing what he says to what is written in the Bible. Christ wants us to resist the man of lawlessness and be 'die-hards'. I'm not talking about the famous movies or car batteries here, but the people who will not change their beliefs no matter what. The word 'die-hard' is defined as someone very determined or loyal; especially : very loyal to a set of beliefs and not willing to change those beliefs.Since Christ is our only Savior who can justify us to God, lets stand strong to the end for him. What About Jesus?
