圣徒的坚忍

欧文为改革宗"圣徒永蒙保守"教义提供的系统神学辩护。作者通过详尽的圣经解经和严密的逻辑论证，阐述真正重生的信徒必然会在信仰中坚持到底。全书回应了亚米念派关于信徒可能失去救恩的观点，论证神的拣选、基督的代赎、圣灵的印记都确保了选民的最终得救。欧文特别强调坚忍不是信徒自己的能力，而是三一神恩典的保守。这部著作在改革宗救恩确据神学中占据核心地位，为无数信徒提供了坚固的盼望根基。

Owen's systematic theological defense of the Reformed doctrine of "perseverance of the saints." Through exhaustive biblical exegesis and rigorous logical argumentation, the author demonstrates that genuinely regenerated believers will necessarily persevere in faith to the end. The book responds to Arminian views that believers can lose salvation, arguing that God's election, Christ's atonement, and the Spirit's seal all ensure the elect's ultimate salvation. Owen particularly emphasizes that perseverance is not believers' own ability but the Triune God's gracious preservation. This work occupies central position in Reformed assurance theology, providing solid foundation of hope for countless believers.
