Many people start well but don’t finish well. One reason for this is the habit people have of wanting Jesus to be their Savior but not their Lord, the habit of making choices that have disastrous results, results that make it impossible for their lives to end well.
In the parable of the soil, the kind of fruit depended on the kind of soil the seed fell on. People play a part in the direction of their lives. God works but people make choices.
The direction of our lives is determined by the decisions we make about many large and small things, like the way we respond to temptation, and the way we use our phones, the kind of movies we watch. Social media is not Scripture. All of these kinds of decisions determine the direction of our lives and determine how our lives end.
You can’t be a Christian and you can’t end well if you continue to live your old life. The only way we can end well is if we follow Christ in obedience. If we have to think a long time about what God’s will is, we are on the wrong path. When we walk in the Spirit, we can know the will of God. God has put everything in place for us to live a victorious Christian life and end well.
