True and False Assurance
Individual TopicsSteve Gregg
In the article "True and False Assurance," Steve Gregg discusses the topic of assurance of salvation. While it is not necessary for individuals to have assurance of their salvation, it is important for them to understand false presumptions that can lead to a false sense of security. True assurance of salvation comes from obedience to God's commandments and love for God and others. Believers should persevere in seeking God and maintain a surrendered life to Christ to experience genuine salvation and discipleship.
