How do we know perseverance is true for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture instructs us that perseverance is the mark of true saints, as seen in Hebrews 10:39 which states, 'We are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.'

The reality of perseverance among Christians can be confirmed through both Scripture and observation. Hebrews 10:39 states, 'We are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who believe and are saved.' This distinctly categorizes believers as those who endure rather than fall away. In addition, true believers demonstrate their faith through lasting obedience and good works, which reflect their relationship with Christ. Those who abandon their faith reveal by their actions that they were never genuine believers, thus affirming that real faith is evidenced by perseverance.
