The Christian’s Perseverance

Summary

Philippians teems with encouragement, but biblical perseverance is surprising. Paul never encourages his readers to dig deep or to look inward for confidence. In just a single verse, we can understand the initiator of the Christian’s perseverance, the nature of perseverance, and the end of the work of perseverance.
