One of the most comforting truths that Scripture teaches is the awesome reality of God preserving His people. God literally keeps His people safe until the very end. What God has started our salvation, He will complete it. There is no such thing as a lost Christian! On the other hand, the believer has a responsibility to endure, overcome, and persevere faithfully revealing that they are indeed true beleivers. This coming Lord's day we will examine these twin truths as we complete our study of the Doctrines of Grace.
