Perseverance And Doxology

"Only if we remember the profundity of God's faithfulness can we see our life, not as only a series of indepedent moments, but as a life that is preserved in spite of everything. Therefore the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints will always be a doxology to God's preservation, which again and again places the weak and threatened life in the unextinguishable light of His grace." (G. C. Berkouwer)
