If You're Saved and You Know it...

Do you ever struggle with the insecure feeling of not knowing for sure if you will go to heaven? Is there any way to overcome that doubt?


With pastoral love and concern, John MacArthur answers the second question with an authoritative yes! He carefully examines the classical biblical texts affirming the forever quality of salvation, but does not ignore the troubling passages that seem to indicate otherwise. From there he shows how those truths apply to you by presenting eleven biblical tests to help you determine whether you've experienced salvation once and for all. He concludes by showing how you can match up your feelings with your faith, and by taking an encouraging look at victory in the Spirit and the promise of God to help you persevere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Biblical basis for salvation, July 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Saved Without a Doubt (MacArthur Study) (Paperback)

MacArthur helps people to see that their salvation is based only on the finished work of Jesus Christ: faith alone in Christ alone. It addresses a need in the church today, i.e., when so many are being taught that salvation is based on what you do to please God, instead of being taught (correctly) that salvation is based soley on the imputed righteousness of Christ.

This review is from: Saved Without a Doubt (MacArthur Study) (Paperback)

I found the book to be very biblical. The Bible does offer salvation free by faith, but MacArthur does a great job of showing that if you ARE saved by faith, then you will see signs of that in your life. MacArthur points you to scripture, not peoples opinion's. After all, I wanted to know what the Bible says, not someone who thinks they are saved but have never had a change in their lives. MacArthur points out that many want to say they are saved, but at the same time hang on to a lifestyle of lawlessness. If you just want to deceive yourself and say that a person can be saved by "faith" alone (read: a faith that does not lead to a new life), then DONT READ THIS BOOK. (Or for that matter, don't read your Bible). But MacArthur does a great service to the genuine gospel by making an iron clad biblical case to show that salvation that is by faith, is not alone. Genuine faith produces fruit, or evidence. And that fruit is what we look for to give us assurance so we CAN have biblical assurance.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a call to security which so many Chrisitans lack, June 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Saved Without a Doubt (MacArthur Study) (Paperback)

In spite of a Christians failures and sin, there is still a security for those who have trusted Christ as their personal savior. John MacArthur helps show you how the promise of your salvation is based on God's promises, not the believer's faithfulness. This is a must read for those who waiver in their understanding of their security in Christ.
