"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth." (Isaiah 62:1)

Whatever it Takes

That has to be the mindset of anyone who hopes to rescue someone who's going to die if they don't - whatever it takes. Like the rescue God commands in Proverbs 24:11, "Rescue those being led away to death." Or in Jude 24, "Snatch others from the fire and save them."

But it probably won't happen if you insist on it being easy or safe, or on rescuing someone you care about by conventional means.

Whatever it takes, that's what it has to be when the situation is life-or-death. Would you say it to Jesus today, "Jesus, I will help some of the people I know be in heaven with me; whatever it takes, whatever it costs!"
