As for glory or salvation, we offer it unto none, (neither do we teach that God makes offer of it unto any) but to such as finally persevere in faith and repentance, according to that, Revelations 3. To him that overcometh, I will give to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his Throne. And be thou faithful unto the death, and I will give thee a Crown of life. And Gal. 6. Be not weary of well doing, for in good time ye shall reap if ye faint not.
