What does the Bible teach about perseverance of the saints?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that true believers will persevere in faith, as God will complete the work He began in them.

Perseverance of the saints is a comforting doctrine that assures believers that once they are saved, they will remain saved. Philippians 1:6 states, 'He that hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.' This truth highlights God's sovereignty over salvation and that He actively preserves His people. True believers may face struggles, but God's faithfulness ensures they will ultimately persevere and be conformed to the image of Christ. The foundation of this doctrine rests on God’s electing love, redemptive work, and the life-giving power of the Holy Spirit in the believer's life.
