What is the perseverance of the saints?

Answered in 2 sources

The perseverance of the saints teaches that true believers will continue in faith and never fall away (John 10:28).

The perseverance of the saints, often summarized as 'once saved, always saved,' means that all whom God has genuinely saved will remain in a state of grace and will ultimately attain eternal life. This doctrine is based on the assurance given in John 10:28, where Jesus affirms that His sheep will never perish, and nothing can separate them from His hand. This reflects the sovereignty of God in preserving His chosen ones, ensuring that despite trials and temptations, those truly saved will endure to the end, confirmed by Scriptures such as Jude 24 which proclaims God's ability to keep believers from falling and to present them faultless before Him.
