We consider the gifts of preservation and perseverance - gifts of the Spirit that God bestows upon all His children.

We see two things.
*First, if the Lord has saved you, He has also promised to preserve you all the way to heaven, and
*Second, in His preserving you, He will also make sure you persevere in holiness until you have.

We see that it is impossible to truly believe in the Lord Jesus and then to commit oneself to a life of sin. The Lord will make all whom He calls to Himself to love holiness and to live in it.
