God Finishes What He Starts
Commentators unanimously agree that this verse is a profound source of assurance. Your sanctification and preservation do not ultimately depend on your own strength, but on God's character. As Albert Barnes notes, because God has begun a work of grace in you, you can depend on His faithfulness to complete it. He who called you will see it through.
