Today we conclude the message that we began yesterday on the topic of “perseverance through grace.” The idea of this article of our articles of faith is that God, through His divine power, preserves each and every one of His children through grace, and NOT that they themselves will always persevere. We certainly OUGHT to strive to persevere, but the reason we are able to be confident of eternal glory is that God preserves us through grace, and NOT that we somehow persevere until the end!
