Once a person comes to an accurate knowledge of Scripture, and then dedicates himself to God, and then publicly shows that private dedication by public water baptism, then at that point a person is saved in the first place.
As Jesus says at Matthew 24:13 one must endure to the end to be saved.
So, it is Not a once saved always saved teaching.
One must endure to either the end of one's life, or if alive on Earth at the coming 'time of separation' on Earth as mentioned at Matthew 25:31-33, 37, 40 endure to be counted as a figurative righteous ' sheep '.
Those living ' sheep ' are ' saved/ delivered/ rescued ' alive through the coming ' great tribulation ' of Revelation 7:14,9.

I wonder how ALL will be resurrected when the wicked are destroyed forever -> Psalms 92:7
Even sinner Satan will be destroyed by Jesus as per Hebrews 2:14 B with No resurrection for sinner Satan.

I find at Acts 24:15 it is only the just and unjust, the righteous and unrighteous, who will be resurrected.
So, to me it is love, to love God and love Jesus and behave as Scripture teaches to behave.
And as 2nd Peter 3:9 says to ' repent ' if we do Not want to ' perish ' ( Be destroyed ) .
When Jesus referred to Psalms 37:9-11 it is only the humble meek who will inherit the Earth - Proverbs 2:21-22.
First it is only such people like those of Matthew 25:37,40 who will Not miss out on the coming millennial Kingdom age.
Ones who died before Jesus died (John 3:13) could have a happy-and-healthy physical resurrection back to live life forever on Earth as originally offered to Adam before his downfall.
