Sanctification is not moralism or passive waiting but the grace of God at work in the believer, producing obedience, holiness, and growth in Christ. In this episode, Richard Caldwell explains how Christians are called to discipline themselves for godliness while relying fully on God's Spirit. True sanctification is grace-fueled effort that flows from justification and looks forward to glorification, shaping a life of worship, obedience, and joy in Christ.

Perseverance of the saints is the biblical truth that true believers endure to the end, not by their own strength but because God preserves them. Through trials, tribulations, and suffering, genuine faith is tested and proven real. Scripture shows that assurance rests not in a prayer once prayed but in the ongoing work of God's Spirit keeping His people in faith. This doctrine offers both confidence and comfort, reminding us that perseverance is God's grip on us, not ours on Him.
