Discussion: July 26: Dangerous Ba Ang Once Saved Always Saved? - Perseverance Of The Saints
365 Daily Devotions: Seminary Edition
💁🏻 Concept: Perseverance of the Saints
Perseverance of the saints is the doctrine that all who are truly born again will continue in faith and obedience until the end. They are not kept by their own strength, but by God’s sustaining power. This doesn’t mean Christians never stumble—but that God never lets go. True believers may fall into sin, endure suffering, or experience doubt, yet they will not ultimately fall away. Their endurance is the evidence of real salvation. Only those who persevere were truly saved—and those truly saved will persevere, not by works, but by grace.
