![]() Here are some of the many quotes I underlined on the kindle edition: ![]() There are assignments in the back of the book that should be helpful, too, such as memorizing key Scriptures. After reading the study questions in the back of the book, I realized I don't know the material as well as I should, and will likely be reading the whole book over again, perhaps several times. I do think there was an issue that wasn't addressed much, that I would have liked to have seen more about, but all in all an excellent book. Great book that helped allay my fears! There are a lot of Scripture references. God wants us to be happy in our salvation and doubt only leads to unhappiness. ![]() I recommend this book for any Christian who finds themselves with doubt at times, or even for Christians who are fully assure of their salvation, as a reference to scriptures to provide evidence for that assurance. And to think that God loved sinners enough to send His only Son to die for their sins - before we were saved, should be enough assurance to a Christian that He still loves us when we fail as Christians, too, and will not abandon us. It has nothing to do with our own works it has everything to do with the grace of God. It is because of God's love for us that we were given salvation. He also concludes this book with ways to help gain victory over sin in your life and reminders that, as Christians, we will always face hardships, but as Christians, we have been given the Holy Spirit to help us endure those trials so that our perseverance will bring about true happiness and the assurance of our home in heaven.Ī strong theme throughout this book, and one that Christians should always look to for encouragement, is that God first loved us. MacArthur also lists several "tests" from an apostolic expert for you to use in reflection to determine if you have been truly saved and, thus, can feel more assured of your salvation. And we all know God always keeps His promises! A genuine Christian should never doubt or question their salvation, according to MacArthur, as they're not really questioning their own ability to "remain" a Christian, but they are, instead, questioning God's ability to keep His promises to those who believe on His Son. ![]() MacArthur offers scriptural evidence (both from the Old and New Testaments) to support his reasoning of secure salvation and to prove that it is, indeed, a Biblical concept. ![]()
