Things Men Can Do

Reap corruption instead of eternal life if they sow to the flesh

Galatians 6:7-8  

7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

Remain in God’s house if they hold firm to the end

Hebrews 3:6  

But Christ is faithful as a son over God's house. And we are his house, if we hold on to our courage and the hope of which we boast.

They hold steadfast to the end

Hebrews 3:12-14 

12 See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.

13 But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today, so that none of you may be hardened by sin's deceitfulness.

14 We have come to share in Christ if we hold firmly till the end the confidence we had at first.

Let the truth slip from them after knowing it

Hebrews 2:1  

We must pay more careful attention, therefore, to what we have heard, so that we do not drift away.

Escape if Salvation is not neglected after receiving it

Hebrews 2:3  

how shall we escape if we ignore such a great salvation? This salvation, which was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard him.

Come short of eternal rest

Hebrews 4:1  

Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it.
