And I am sure if this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6. Perseverance means continued adherence to a belief despite discouragement and opposition. Those who pursue holiness and love of neighbor and so show themselves to have been regenerated by God are entitled to believe themselves secure in Christ. Belief in perseverance properly understood does not lead to careless living and arrogant presumption. Everyday provides you opportunity to persevere in your faith, be reminded that the small challenges strengthen you for the greater challenges to come.
