    Am I Really a Christian?

    Written by Thomas Boston

    Narrated by Duane DeSalvo

    4.5/5

    ()

    About this audiobook

    Though it would certainly be unkind to give false assurance of salvation to someone who has not been truly converted, it would be equally cruel to withhold comfort and assurance to a weak lamb who suffers with despair over his spiritual state. In his spiritual classic Human Nature in Its Fourfold State, Thomas Boston lists eight "cases" where a true Christian might have spiritual doubts about the authenticity of his faith. Such doubts, Boston notes, "may hinder some persons from the comfortable view of their happy state." Thus, he writes to encourage, comfort, and assure those saints who are burdened with such doubts.

      Why Do Many People STRUGGLE With A LACK OF FAITH?

      Feb 11, 2022

      The apostle Paul exhorts Christians to “walk by faith and not by sight” – 2 Corinthians 5:7. What we see here is a contrast between truth and perception—what we know and believe to be true and what we perceive to be true. This is where the Christian

      Edifying. A must listened to for Christians so that our joy may be complete.
    • 5/5
      Every Christian needs reassurance that their faith is valid, true and sincere. However, i believe that we are all tested continuously by the Holy Spirit as a reminder that it is not we who control our faith but the continuous conflict between the forces of temptation against the foundation of our faith through the Holy Spirit. This short summary of what many of us worry about when it comes to the doubts we have about our faith, is a worthy memory jogger and a good friend to have by our bedside.

      This really helped me with my assurance. I was struggling so much with whether I can really know that I'm saved and this gave me that assurance. I need to work harder to make sure that I have the evidences of grace and if they're there then I can KNOW I'm a Christian! Such a wonderful blessed hope!!
