Description: Nearly everyone hopes to end up in Heaven one day. In fact, a whopping 99% of Americans believe they'll eventually reside there. Yet the Bible claims that only a few will find the "road that leads to eternal life" (Matthew 7:14).

So how can anyone be sure of spending eternity with Jesus Christ?

Furthermore, one entire book of the Bible (see 1 John 5:14) was written specifically to address this problem of assurance of salvation. When an entire book is inspired by God to deal with a particular issue, it must be a common problem, even if people don't admit it.

In How Can I Be Sure I'm A Christian? Donald S. Whitney explores the issue of assurance and outlines how Christians can experience a satisfying certainty of eternal life. Chapter titles are:

By countering a broad range of doubts with a clear, scriptural basis for confidence, Whitney provides encouragement for believers and gentle warnings to those who base their confidence in themselves rather than in God.

"If you have questions about your assurance or even somebody else's, you should read this book. Dr. Whitney's illustrations are superb, and his borrowings from the great theologians of the past are wise, stimulating, and well-chosen. I commend his work highly."
--Dr. James M. Boice
