b'BIBLICAL STUDIES AND THEOLOGYMy Sheep Follow MeA Study of Perseverance and the Threat of AntinomianismJonathan R. PrattHow 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 perseverancethat is, how 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 Testament teaching about perseverance:Jesuss metaphors, including the fruit of belief, obedience, and lovePauls demonstration of believers righteous responses to the Holy SpiritBelief as evidence in the letters of Paul and othersThe New Testament promises of Gods help in perseveranceGods use of his Word, suffering, the church, and prayer to assure his peoples perseverance in faithPratt surveys how antinomianism, common in Protestant Christianity historically and today, threatens biblical teaching. He shows how a bibli-cal doctrine of perseverance squelches the devastating effects of ignoring Gods spiritual gifts to believers. My Sheep Follow Me offers important cau-tions over distorted teaching and valuable encouragement in the process of Christian growth. Jonathan R. Pratt (PhD, Dallas Theological Seminary) currently serves as Academic Dean and Professor of New Testament at Central Baptist Theological Seminary of Minneapolis.
