Sin.
santgem:
John the baptist will not be in the 1st resurrection. :)

John 7:16 Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.
v. 17 If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.
v. 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness (G93) is in Him. (NKJV)
John 7:16 Jesus, then, answered them and said, "My teaching is not Mine, but His Who sends Me."
v. 17 If anyone should be wanting to be doing His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God or I am speaking from Myself."
v. 18 He who is speaking from himself is seeking his own glory, yet He Who is seeking the glory of Him Who sends Him, this One is true, and injustice (G93) is not in Him." (CLV)
G93 adikia - (legal) injustice (properly the quality, by implication the act); moral wrongfulness (of charater, life or act): - iniquity, unjust, unrighteousness, wrong.
It's the Holy Spirit indwelling that brings all this about...
1Cor 2:9 But as it is written:
"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
v. 10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
v. 11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
v. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
v. 13 These things we also speak, not in words which man's wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
A key point to understand "if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law" (Gal 5:18).
Rom 3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God.
v. 20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
v. 21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it--
v. 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction:
v. 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
v. 24 and are justified by His grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus
mercy, peace and love

I pray every day asking God to be in the 1st resurrection, for myself and others, and hopefully by enduring to the end, we will. Talk to God and ask Him :) Matthew 10:22
lareli:
What does 'endure to the end' mean?
rick:
Good question Largeli
endure >verb 1 suffer (something painful and prolonged) patiently. 2 tolerate. 3 remain in existence.
-DERIVATIVES endurable >adjective.
-ORIGIN Latin indurare 'harden'.
How is one to endure without free will or free choice? In other words, who is doing the enduring in us? Is it Christ or us?
Ultimately all is of God , can I endure on my own outside of Christ ? What if I will to endure to the end , is not my will subjected to the will of God ? What happens if its God’s will that I do not endure to the end ?
Will I succeed irregardless of God’s will ? ???
peace and love to all. :)
