I thought it would be good to catalogue my series on perseverance into a single post for easy reference. After nearly sixteen years I think it still holds up pretty well. The only part I would probably change is my treatment of Romans 8:28-29 as I would now interpret that in accordance with the corporate election view that sees calling primarily in the naming sense rather than as a summons to salvation. That view is well represented here. That being said, I still think the interpretation I offered in Part 12 was plausible, just not the view I would take today. [Editorial note: SEA has long had a “Perseverance Series by Ben Henshaw” category in our topical index. which can be found on the right hand side of our home page.
