Description
āIf there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for āamount of times having prayed the sinnerās prayer,ā Iām pretty sure Iād be a top contender,ā says pastor and author J. D. Greear. He struggled for many years to gain an assurance of salvation and eventually learned he was not alone. āLack of assuranceā is epidemic among evangelical Christians.
In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart, J. D. shows that faulty ways of present- ing the gospel are a leading source of the confusion. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are sometimes misleading. The idea of āasking Jesus into your heartā or āgiving your life to Jesusā often gives false assurance to those who are not savedāand keeps those who genuinely are saved from fully embracing that reality.
Greear unpacks the doctrine of assurance, showing that salvation is a posture we take to the promise of God in Christ, a posture that begins at a certain point and is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also answers the tough questions about assurance: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to imply we can lose our salvation?
Such issues are handled with respect to the theological rigors they require, but Greear never loses his pastoral sensitivity or a communication technique that makes this message teachable to a wide audience from teens to adults.
