In this episode of Knowing God, we conclude our series on the Doctrines of Grace by considering the doctrine of Perseverance of the Saints.

We discuss how God preserves His people in faith to the end, why those whom God has chosen, redeemed, and effectually called will never finally fall away, and how this doctrine gives believers deep comfort and assurance. We also consider the Christian’s responsibility to continue in faith, repentance, and obedience, while resting in the promise that God Himself will keep His people by His grace.
