Perseverance
Preservation by God
Grace · 4 verses
The perseverance of the saints rests not upon human resolution but divine preservation—God's almighty power maintaining His elect in grace through every trial and temptation. The same sovereign power that effected regeneration ensures glorification, keeping believers from final apostasy through the Spirit's indwelling presence and Christ's continual intercession.
