What Part Do Works Play in Assurance of Salvation?

September 6, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance of Salvation, introspection, The promise of life
B. P. asks, “Is evidence of a changed life an important indication of whether a person is truly born again?” Most Evangelicals say that their assurance of salvation requires an ongoing self-examination of our works. They reason in this way: Major premise: Only those who persevere in faith and good works will gain final salvation.

Don’t Leave Out a Word (Jeremiah 26:2)

August 30, 2022 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - Assurance of Salvation, Jeremiah 26:2, Standing firm on the essentials
One of the areas all Christians struggle with is how to determine what issues we should fight for and which ones we can let go. Specifically, how should we deal with other believers when we disagree on points of theology? All of us agree that Christians can, and often do, fight over trivial issues. These

How Would You Counsel Someone Who Believes in Jesus’ Finished Work But Who Lacks Assurance?

June 17, 2022 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance of Salvation, Eternal Security
Nicholas [my middle name, BTW] sent in a great question: Hi. I hope everything is well with you. I’m worried about my salvation. I have faith in the Lord Jesus and His finished work and His resurrection from the dead by the Lord God on the 3rd day. But people say it’s not by faith

In May, my daughter Kathryn and I went to Zambia to teach in a Bible college. I taught the book of Romans and Kathryn taught the doctrine of eternal salvation. This was our fifth trip to Zambia. Thanks so much to you who have supported us in these endeavors financially—allowing us to give out free

Assurance in Acts 2:36-38

March 2, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Acts 2:36-38, Assurance of Salvation, the meaning of the Christ
Z. P. asks this important question: Bob, you said in regard to Acts 2:37-38, that when the Jewish hearers of Peter’s sermon were “cut to the heart,” that is the time they believed that Jesus is the Christ. I’m struggling to see assurance as the essence of saving faith in this passage. Are you saying

Zane Hodges and the Promise of Everlasting Life

February 19, 2021 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance of Salvation, John 4:10-14, Zane Hodges
Zane Hodges departed this life in November of 2008. In the dozen years since then, many people have suggested that he changed his view of the saving message. Many pointed to a 2006 message in which he argued that a person is not born again until he is sure that he is eternally secure by

Why Most Calvinists Lack Assurance of Salvation

October 30, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - a gospel of doubt, Assurance of Salvation, John’s Gospel and assurance
I recently received a question about a book by a Calvinist author named Dean Inserra. That led to an internet search, and I came across a 2020 book by him, published by Moody Publishers, entitled Without a Doubt: How to Know for Certain That You’re Good with God. GES bought the book. Great title. Great

More Questions about Matthew 7:21-23

September 18, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - assurance and works, Assurance of Salvation, Matthew 7:21-23
I interacted with a young man about Matt 7:21-23. I told him that the people who call Jesus “Lord, Lord” and make their case for entering His kingdom based on their works were unbelievers. They had not done the will of the Father, which is believing in His Son for everlasting life. That led to

Do Not Let the Anti-Assurance Bird Make a Nest in Your Hair

August 18, 2020 by Bob Wilkin in Blog - Assurance of Salvation, false professions, genuine faith, saving faith
A regular reader of our blogs named John asks this insightful question: I just read your latest blog concerning Dead Spoken Faith Alone. In your point #10, you mention that assurance is essential to a faith that saves. I must admit that the thought of eternal conscious torment still frightens me. I believe in Christ,

A fan of the GES blogs and daily radio program writes: Thank you so much for the work you do, for the GES website, the blog, and the radio program. It has meant a great deal to me. I’m hoping you can help put my mind at ease as I have really been struggling with
