My Sheep Follow Me

$24.99
How do believers persevere in the faith? What does
growth in holiness look like?
Christian teaching is often clear about justificationhow
God saves his peoplebut murky about sanctification, or
perseverancehow believers grow in closeness to God over
time. Author Jonathan R. Pratt explores what progress toward
holiness looks like and how it takes place.
My Sheep Follow Me begins with an investigation of the New
Testaments teaching on perseverance:
Jesuss metaphors, including the fruit of belief, obedience,
and love;
Pauls demonstration of believers righteous responses to
the Holy Spirit;
belief as evidence in the letters of Paul and others;
promises of Gods help in perseverance; and
Gods use of his Word, suffering, the church, and prayer
to assure his peoples perseverance in faith.
Pratt then surveys how antinomianism, common in
Protestant Christianity both historically and today, threatens
biblical teaching. He shows how a biblical doctrine of perseverance
squelches the devastating effects of ignoring Gods spiritual
gifts to believers. My Sheep Follow Me offers important
cautions of distorted teaching and valuable encouragement in
the process of Christian growth.
