John MacArthur on the assurance of salvation - what Scripture promises, what it does not, and the doubts that get in the way. Read more.
How can I know that I am truly saved? John MacArthur takes the question seriously rather than answering it with reassurance, working from the biblical evidences of new life and distinguishing the assurance Scripture actually offers from a confidence resting on a past decision or a strong feeling.
He also addresses the particular obstacles: besetting sin, a weak understanding of justification, temperament, and the counsel of people who confuse doubt with humility. Study questions make it workable for a group. A Spanish edition, Salvos sin lugar a dudas, is also available.
