Podcasts about Perseverance of the saints

In Jude's closing benediction, we're given one of the most stabilizing promises in all of Scripture: God is able to keep you from stumbling (Jude 1:24). In this episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains why saving faith is not only God's gift—but also God's sustaining work. You are not kept by fear-driven performance; you are kept by Christ's faithful power. Dr. Youssef brings this promise to life through the imagery behind Jude's words: Jewish wedding traditions. In betrothal, the groom would seal the commitment with a costly dowry—then return home to prepare a place—then come again for his bride with joyful announcement. In the same way, Jesus—our Bridegroom—paid the highest price with His own blood, returned to the Father to prepare a place, and will come again. And when He does, He will present His redeemed bride without blemish or stain, declaring what His cross and resurrection accomplished. This devotional strengthens believers living in dark seasons of apostasy and pressure: keep your eyes on the future Christ secured. When you feel weak, unstable, or tempted to spiral into “trying harder,” remember the Truth—Jesus is holding you up. He will keep you from falling. Prayer: Father, help me to rest in the Truth that You will never let me go. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.  “[T]o the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen” (Jude 1:25). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

Defenders: Doctrine of Salvation (Part 19): Perseverance of the Saints - Arminianism

Defenders: Doctrine of Salvation (Part 18): Perseverance of the Saints - Calvinism

Our perseverance doesn't rest decisively on the reliability of our own resolve. It rests decisively on God's work to keep us trusting him.

When others abandon you, strengthen your heart with God's inexorable oath: “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Is once saved always saved biblical? If someone truly believes in Jesus, is it possible for them to fall away? What does the Bible actually say about the security of a believer? In this episode, Brandon and Jonathan explore the doctrine often called Perseverance of the Saints and look at how Scripture speaks about faith, assurance, and endurance in the Christian life.

Jude 17-25

If our perseverance in faith depended on us, we would fall away from Christ at any moment. Today, R.C. Sproul teaches that the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints rests our confidence in God's faithfulness to His promises.

Scripture Reading: Revelation 14:9-20 In the middle of a biblical text about the dreadful wrath of God is a passage designed to be a great encouragement to Christians.  Following a passage declaring the God's wrath "poured full strength into the cup of his anger" (Rev 14:10), we read about the "perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus" (Rev 14:12, LSB). The doctrine of the perseverance of the saints is the idea that, having been changed at the deepest level of one's being by the Spirit of God, Christians "can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace; but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved" (Westminster Confession of Faith, XVII:1). Perseverance in the Christian faith is both a wondrous encouragement and a sober test.  We are able to hold fast to our faith, and will hold it fast, because we have become reconciled to God … and because of this reconciliation Christ will one day present us before God the Father as holy.  This is ultimate security in Christ.  The sober test is this … perseverance in the faith is evidence that someone's faith is genuine.  Those who have true faith continue in the faith.  Those who do not continue in the faith only show they have never been reconciled to God in the first place.

SUNDAY COURSES | WCF, Ch 17: Of the Perseverance of the Saints

Welcome back to the Disciple Hinson Podcast. We are continuing our walk through the statement of faith meditating on what we believe as a church family. You will be helped by following along with this handout. In this episode, we dive into Article 11: Of Perseverance of the Saints to think about how God will keep us all the way to the end.

Aaron Lee | November 23, 2025 | Youth Sunday School

The proof God uses that we are born from above is that we persevere in the faith.

When a minister conducts a wedding ceremony, he usually states that the man and woman are to be joined in marriage for better or for worse. But when we are joined to the Lord Jesus Christ by faith, it is always for better and never for worse. He has loved us with an everlasting love and will faithfully persevere with us to ensure our eternal salvation and union with Him. Have you found peace and assurance in the persevering love of God? Tune in as Dr. Donald Barnhouse teaches from Romans 8:3-6 on Dr. Barnhouse and the Bible. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/791/29

Phil 1:3-6

Scott Hubbard | When we are neck-deep in spiritual darkness, joy in God can feel like a beautiful dream we once had. But even groaning after God is better than letting go of him.

Sometimes, when the Bible describes indifference to God, it sounds like us. How can we resist our tendency to drift away from him?

The post Sermon: The Perseverance of the Saints appeared first on First Baptist Church.

Title: The Perseverance of The SaintsSpeaker: Rob BerrethScripture: Hebrews 10:32-39Episode Overview:In this sermon from Hebrews 10:32–39, we are reminded that the Christian life is both wonderful and hard—and that perseverance is essential. Using vivid illustrations like the grueling Barkley Marathons, the message calls us to look back at God's past faithfulness, look forward to the eternal reward, and keep looking to Christ in the present. Endurance isn't about white-knuckled effort, but about remembering who we are in Christ, where we're headed, and the One who sustains us along the way.Key Highlights:• Look Back Often (vv. 32–35): Remembering the early days of faith stirs passion and courage to endure trials. Hardship in obedience always brings joy, never regret.• Look Forward Always (vv. 36–39): The Christian life is a long-distance race with eternal reward—Christ Himself and life with Him forever.• The Need for Endurance: Perseverance is fueled by faith, the promise of God's Word, and the encouragement of fellow believers.• The Great Reward: We endure because Jesus is worth it. He is our better possession, our abiding joy, and our coming King.Call to Action:Take time this week to reflect on both where God has carried you and what He has promised ahead. When life feels heavy, remind yourself of the moments He has strengthened you in the past—and let that fuel fresh faith for today. Fix your eyes on Jesus, trusting that He will bring you to the finish line.Redeemer Church211 Northshore Dr. Bellingham, WA 98226www.redeemernw.org
