How do we know that the doctrine of perseverance of the saints is true?

Answered in 1 source

The doctrine of perseverance of the saints is affirmed by Scripture, demonstrating that true believers will continue in faith to the end.

The assurance that believers will persevere in their faith can be substantiated through various passages in the New Testament, particularly Hebrews 10:39, which states, 'But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition, but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.' This reflects the truth of the perseverance of the saints, as it ties the authenticity of one's faith to the continuous act of believing. Furthermore, the Canons of Dort articulate that those who are truly saved will exhibit a persistent faith that endures amidst trials. Their preservation in Christ is guaranteed, and while the faithful struggle, they do not fall away permanently.
