XI. Of Perseverance of the Saints ᎢᎬᏩᏍᏗᎭ ᎠᎾᎵᏂᎬᏁᎲ ᎤᎾᏓᏅᏘ
We believe that such only are real believers as endure unto the end: that their persevering
attachment to Christ is the grand mark which distinguishes them from superficial
professors; that a special providence watches over their welfare, and that they are kept by
the power of God through faith unto salvation.

XII. Of the Harmony of the Law and the Gospel
We believe that the law of God is the eternal and unchangeable rule of his moral
government; that it is holy, just and good; and that the inability which the scriptures
ascribe to fallen men to fulfill its precepts arises entirely from their love of sin; to deliver
them from which, and to restore them through a Mediator to unfeigned obedience to the
holy law, is one great end of the gospel, and of the means of grace connected with the
establishment of the visible church.
