What pastors are saying
“Perseverance is continuing to place our trust in Jesus as God builds into us a faith that lasts to the end.”
“Perseverance is essential. You cannot run the race that God is giving you without understanding the role of perseverance.”
“Divine preservation always supposes human perseverance. Perseverance proves faith's genuine character and is therefore indispensable to salvation.”
“Perseverance is your steadfastness when it is most tiring and most wearisome; your perseverance is what makes the difference, alongside God's preservation of you.”
“We persevere because God preserves us. It's an important distinction. Are we saved by our perseverance? No.”
