What does growth in holiness look like?\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Christian teaching is often clear about justification--how God saves his people--but murky about sanctification, or perseverance--that 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. \u003ci\u003eMy Sheep Follow Me\u003c\/i\u003e begins with an investigation of the New Testament teaching about perseverance: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eJesus's metaphors, including the \"fruit\" of belief, obedience, and love\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePaul's demonstration of believers' righteous responses to the Holy Spirit\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBelief as evidence in the letters of Paul and others\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe New Testament promises of God's help in perseverance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGod's use of his Word, suffering, the church, and prayer to assure his people's perseverance in faith\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e Pratt then surveys how antinomianism, common in Protestant Christianity historically and today, threatens biblical teaching. He shows how a biblical doctrine of perseverance squelches the devastating effects of ignoring God's spiritual gifts to believers. \u003ci\u003eMy Sheep Follow Me\u003c\/i\u003e offers important cautions over distorted teaching and valuable encouragement in the process of Christian growth.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 168\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 x 8.91 x 5.92 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 24, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47652827594973,"sku":"9780825449369","price":29.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/0A5-Wkxv3m9780825449369.webp?v=1773891408","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/my-sheep-follow-me-a-study-of-perseverance-and-the-threat-of-antinomianism-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
