Episode notes
God Preserves, Saints Persevere
- Perseverance of the saints means God preserves believers, not that they maintain faith by their own strength.
- True Christians persevere because God sustains them, ensuring they never lose salvation.

- Genuine faith ensures eternal salvation; loss of faith indicates initial absence of true belief.

- The Apostle Peter publicly denied Christ but was restored after repentance.
- This illustrates that falls can be serious but temporary with eventual restoration.
