D. Greear (\u003cem\u003eGospel, Stop Asking Jesus into Your Heart\u003c\/em\u003e) believes the postmortems are premature. Jesus promised to build his church. He said that the gates of hell would not prevail against it.

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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eStop Asking Jesus Into Your Heart\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGreear 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?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuch 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"BROADMAN \u0026 HOLMAN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46735342862556,"sku":"9781433679216","price":65.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/4058\/5692\/files\/9781433679216.avif?v=1752221304"}],"url":"https:\/\/bible-society-uae-7958.myshopify.com\/collections\/j-d-greear.oembed","provider":"Bible Society UAE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
