The Baptist Faith and Message 2000 Quotes

“Sometimes misunderstood and falsely caricatured by those rejecting it, perseverance of the saints does not teach that one can live however one chooses, taking advantage of God’s grace. Rather, because of the greatness of the gift of our salvation, true believers will be grieved when they sin and will pursue a life pleasing to the God whom they love and who keeps them safely in His hand (John 10:27–29).”
― Douglas K. Blount, The Baptist Faith and Message 2000: Critical Issues in America's Largest Protestant Denomination
