The Assurance of Faith

Louis Berkhof’s little book tackles one of the most pressing questions of the Christian life: “How can I know that I am truly saved?” With systematic clarity he distinguishes between false and true assurance, shows the role of the Spirit’s witness, and warns against looking for feelings rather than resting on God’s promises. The booklet is concise enough to read in one evening yet profound enough to revisit for a lifetime. A perfect hand-out for doubting believers and for evangelistic contacts who assume assurance is arrogance.
