Publisher Description
&&"If there were a Guinness Book of World Records entry for &'amount of times having prayed the sinner&'s prayer,&' I&'m pretty sure I&'d be a top contender,&" 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. &"Lack of assurance&" 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 &"asking Jesus into your heart&" or &"giving your life to Jesus&" often gives false assurance to those who are not saved&-and 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
