When the Gospel is so presented that the necessity for ongoing good works is stressed, it becomes a gospel that can no longer offer true assurance of eternal life. The individual who professes faith in Christ cannot possess, at the moment of faith, a certainty about his eternal destiny. Under some forms of theology, he cannot even be sure he has really believed. But this result is nothing less than a denial of a fundamental aspect of the Biblical Gospel.
Assurance Undermined
