About this course

Is assurance of salvation possible in this life?  Dr. R.C. Sproul argues that it is not only possible, but that it is the duty of every Christian to make their calling and election sure (2 Peter 1:10). In this course, to help believers reach this goal, Dr. Sproul defines assurance, explains how we can get it, reveals the blessings it confers, and warns of the dangers of false assurance. Here is assistance for those who struggle to know where they stand with Jesus Christ.
