Perseverance assures believers that their salvation is secure and emphasizes God's faithfulness in keeping them to the end.
The perseverance of the saints is a central tenet in Reformed theology, affirming that those truly saved by God will endure in faith until the end. This doctrine is rooted in the recognition that salvation is fundamentally a work of God, not reliant on human effort (Philippians 1:6). As stated in 1 Corinthians 1:8, God will also confirm believers unto the end, ensuring they remain blameless before Him. Such assurance fosters confidence in God's unchanging nature and His commitment to His elect, grounding believers in hope and encouraging them to remain steadfast in their faith.
