Word of the Day - 5/5/2008

Perdurable

Perdurable means very durable; permanent; imperishable. In theological jargon it has a connotation of “eternal; everlasting.”

The author of Hebrews reminds the reader that she awaits a perdurable residence, not the temporal one she finds herself in.

For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come. (Hebrews 13:14, NAB)
