Publisher's Description
Despite our professions of belief, our baptisms, and our membership in the church, many of us secretly wonder, Am I truly saved? We worry that our love for Jesus isn't fervent enough (or isn't as fervent as someone else's). We worry that our faith isn't strong enough. We struggle through the continuing presence of sin in our lives. All this steals the joy of our salvation and can lead us into a life characterized by legalism, perfectionism, and works righteousness--the very life Jesus freed us from at the cross! But Greg Gilbert has a message for the anxious believer--be assured. Assured that your salvation experience was real. Assured that your sins--past, present, and future--are forgiven. Assured that everyone stumbles. Assured that Jesus is not your judge but your advocate. With deep compassion, Gilbert comforts readers, encouraging them to release their guilt, shame, and anxiety to rejoice in and follow hard after the One who set them free.

“I love Greg Gilbert’s message for the Christian who continues to struggle, for the believer who doesn’t quite have it together, for the follower who has trouble . . . following. Jesus said change is afoot and he will give you a hand, but it will not be complete until the day of reckoning. So, stop worrying. Read Assured, don’t give up, and rest in your salvation.”
“If you’ve been a Christian for any length of time, you’ve asked the question. Perhaps you’re haunted by it now. How do I really know I’m saved? In this brilliant new book, Greg Gilbert cuts through the fog of confusion surrounding our questions—and fears—related to assurance. Bristling with cinematic imagery and clear- eyed biblical reflection, Assured will reanchor you on Christ, the solid rock. All other ground is sinking sand.”
