The Lord Jesus makes
intercession for His people (Rom. 8:34), and you can be sure that Christ will
not fail because His intercession is based on His finished work. He has already won the victory by His death, burial and resurrection,
and His people will endure to the end. Christ is already victorious. Christ cannot fail and He will see His people to the end. You can witness this with Peter when Jesus knew Peter would be going down by denying Him 3 times, but Jesus prayed for Peter that He would not be staying down, but he would be coming up again, and would endure to the end (Luke 22:32). Now compare that with Judas, who betrayed the Lord Jesus. Jesus did not pray for Judas like He did for Peter, and Judas did not go to heaven.
The people who professed to be believers and have
turned their backs on Christ and become apostate were not truly saved in the first place (1John 2:19), because if they were truly saved, they would never have become an apostate because Christ intercedes for His Sheep, and His Sheep will endure to the end.
