"If there were a Guinness Publication of World Information accessibility 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 guarantee of salvation and finally learned he was not alone. "Lack of guarantee" is epidemic among evangelical Christians. In Stop Asking Jesus Into Your Center, J. D. shows that faulty ways of delivering the gospel are a respected source of the dilemma. Our presentations may not be heretical, but they are occasionally misleading. The idea of "asking Jesus into the heart and soul" or "giving your daily life to Jesus" often offers false guarantee to those who find themselves not preserved - and will keep those who genuinely are preserved from fully embracing that fact. Greear unpacks the doctrine of guarantee, showing that salvation is a good posture we try the assurance of God in Christ, a good posture that starts at a certain point and it is maintained for the rest of our lives. He also right answers the challenging questions about guarantee: What exactly is faith? What is repentance? Why are there so many warnings that seem to be to imply we can lose our salvation?
