Many believers live with a quiet uncertainty about whether they are truly saved, and the usual remedies - a remembered decision, a card signed years ago, a feeling that comes and goes - turn out not to bear any weight when they are tested.

John MacArthur sets out the grounds on which Scripture teaches a Christian to be assured: the finished work of Christ, the promises of God and the evidences of genuine spiritual life. A short, pastoral study for anyone whose confidence rises and falls with the week.
