The Five Points of Calvinism - Part 11 (Perseverance and Assurance)

Paul teaches that we are reconciled with God IF we continue in the faith (Col. 1:21-23). But that raises the question: How can we ever have assurance of salvation if it is based on persevering to the end? Since the end hasn't arrived yet and we have not yet finished our course and finished well, how can we know we will? We will look at these questions and others, as well as examine the biblical emphasis on perseverance, as opposed to security.
