"If I did not believe in the perseverance of the saints, I could no longer believe in the Saviour Himself. For is it not so that at our conversion we put ourselves with perfect confidence into the hands of Christ, to be saved by Him? –and salvation would scarce be worth having if, after giving up ourselves unto Him, He could in the end leave us."
- Alfred Edersheim (1825-1889), born of a well-cultured and wealthy Jewish family and brought up in rabbinical learning, became a Christian through reading the New Testament while studying medicine at the University of Pesth in Hungary. He spent the rest of his life writing in order "to show that the life and teaching of Jesus--His conception of the Kingdom of God and of the Messiahship--were absolutely opposed to the ideas and conceptions of His time and people." And what greater proof is there that Jesus' doctrine was truly revealed from heaven?
