Is there a difference between “once saved, always saved” and the perseverance of the saints?

Summary

This sermon explores the concepts of preservation and perseverance in the Christian faith, addressing the potential misinterpretation of "once saved, always saved" as a license for sin. It emphasizes that while God guarantees salvation, believers are called to live a life of active perseverance in holiness, not as a means of earning salvation but in confident reliance on God's faithfulness. The practical takeaway is to link our effort to persevere with our trust in God's preservation, avoiding both antinomianism and works' righteousness.
