Persevering in Faith to the End
Inspirational! In A Treatise on the Gift of Perseverance, St. Augustine authoritatively proves that the perseverance by which a man continues in Christ until the end is a gift from God by His grace. Therefore, anyone who perseveres is predestined while the others are not. He advocated that God’s elect will certainly persevere but that one’s election could never be known infallibly in this life. Augustine also believed one’s justification and baptismal regeneration could be rejected and lost through sin and unbelief! A good read!
