Nothing stimulates Christian service more than humble assurance of God’s saving grace. Many of us are immobilized by lingering doubts about our salvation or, worse, by a false security.

Is assurance of salvation reserved for the super-spiritual? Is it a sure sign of presumption? What are the benefits of assurance, and the dangers of an unsure faith? Separating truth from error, and viewing assurance in relation to its larger family of biblical doctrines, the contributors to this volume demonstrate its significance for grateful, productive Christian living.

The Anatomy of Doubt and Assurance

Assurance of God's gracious, saving, Fatherly love to us in Christ is the hallmark of the Protestant Reformation's understanding of the Bible's teaching on salvation. Even the great Roman Catholic counter-reformer Bellarmine knew this (though he decried the Protestant view). This assurance (as the Reformers rightly understood) is vital to Christian life and witness.

Unfortunately, too many saints are lacking in it, and today there are even Reformed and evangelical preachers who are undermining it by erroneous teaching. Thankfully a band of faithful brothers have given us this book, Assured by God: Living in the Fullness of God's Grace to clear the fog, present the truth, protect us from wrongheadedness, and help us on our way. True, evangelical assurance enlarges our hearts with peace and joy, fills us with love and thankfulness to God, and strengthens and motivates us to glad Gospel obedience. Read this book prayerfully, with faith in God's word, and be encouraged!
