How Can I Be Sure I'm a Christian?: What the Bible Says About Assurance of Salvation
ISBN: 9780891097723Book Description:
NEARLY EVERYONE HOPES TO END UP IN HEAVEN ONE DAY.
In fact, a whopping 99% of American believe they'll eventually reside there. Yet the Bible claims that only a few will find the "road that leads to eternal life." So how can anyone be sure of spending eternity with Jesus Christ?
In How Can I Be Sure I'm a Christian? Donald S. Whitney explores the issue of assurance and outlines how Christians can experience a satisfying certainty of eternal life.
If occasional doubts prevent you from fully experiencing the security and peace that Christ offers, you'll enjoy the clear assurances offered here. By countering a broad range of doubts with a clear, scriptural basis for confidence, Whitney provides encouragement for believers and gentle warnings to those who base their confidence in themselves rather than in God.
