Those whom God has accepted in Christ, and sanctified by his Spirit, will never totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace, but shall certainly persevere to the end; and though they may fall, through neglect and temptation, into sin, whereby they grieve the Spirit, impair their graces and comforts, bring reproach on the Church, and temporal judgments on themselves, yet they shall be renewed again unto repentance, and be kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.  This persevering attachment to Christ is the grand mark which distinguishes them from superficial professors; that God’s special Providence watches over their welfare
