四十六、真信徒得蒙保守

79问：真信徒既不完美，也被诸多的试探和罪所胜，他们会不会从蒙恩的状态中堕落呢？

答：

不会。因着

  1. 上帝的不变之爱（耶31:3）；
  2. 祂按照祂自己的预旨和圣约赐给他们恒忍的力量（提后2:19；来13:20-21；撒下23:5）；
  3. 使他们与基督联合，不可分离（林前1:8-9）；
  4. 基督也为他们持续地代祷（来7:25；路22:32）；
  5. 圣灵和上帝的种子仍在他们心中（约壹3:9；2:27）

所以，他们既不会完全，也不会最终从蒙恩的状态中堕落（耶32:40；约10:28），而是得蒙上帝大能的保守，由信得救（彼前1:5）。

Q. 79.Question79. May not true believers, by reason of their imperfections, and the many temptations and sins they are overtaken with, fall away from the state of grace?

Answer:

A. True believers, by reason of the unchangeable love of God, and his decree and covenant to give them perseverance, their inseparable union with Christ, his continual intercession for them, and the Spirit and seed of God abiding in them, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace, but are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation.
