How do we persevere in faith according to the Bible?
Answered in 1 source
Perseverance in faith is maintained by God's preserving power and the believer's reliance on Christ, as stated in Philippians 1:6.
The Bible teaches that perseverance in the faith is not solely the work of the believer, but it is sustained by God’s power and grace. Philippians 1:6 assures us that He who began a good work in us will perfect it until the day of Christ. This promise underscores the belief that God preserves His people and keeps them in faith. While believers engage in the active pursuit of holiness and faithfulness, they recognize that their ability to persevere stems from God's faithfulness and the work of the Holy Spirit within them. This understanding fosters a dependence on Christ and assures the believer that they will not fall away, as their salvation is ultimately secured by God.
