Ditching the Checklist

Assurance of Salvation for Evangelicals (and Other Sinners)

Beschreibung

With ample scriptural evidence, Mark Mattes challenges those who seek to supplement faith in Christ alone for salvation to ditch the checklist of good works. Christian security is only to be found in God's promise of salvation, freely given in Jesus Christ. Anxiety, not assurance, is found when we look to the quality of our faith or righteousness for comfort. God's word alone is sufficient to save sinners. Nothing other than Jesus can secure those consciences anxious about God's judgment.
