Customer Reviews for Thomas Nelson Eternal Security

Thomas Nelson Eternal Security

Do you ever find yourself wondering...is it actually possible to know, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that I am going to heaven? If you say that my salvation is "eternally secure" and that I can never lose it, does that mean that I can commit any sin and still go to heaven? How can an understanding of "eternal security" make a difference in my Christian life? With the wisdom and skill of a man who has personally wrestled with these questions, internationally-known pastor and best-selling author Charles Stanley addresses the age-old issue of grace vs. works in this compassionate, straight-forward book. With questions at the end of each chapter, this book is an excellent choice for individual or group study.

Eternal Security by Charles Stanley will give you a calmness in your wavering faith that no one can snatch you out of God's hand. Doubt will no longer haunt you. Jesus said all that the Father gives Him will come to Him & the one who comes to Him He will by no means cast out. Jesus died to pay for your sins in the past, present, & future. Nothing has been undone with what He secured for you. Charles Stanley explains we can definitely be sure of our salvation and will be overwhelmed with the joy God wants us to have by knowing we're "eternally secure". I highly recommend this book to those who are struggling with the question, "Does God really forgive me?".

It appears George may not have read the book before passing judgement. Dr. Stanley in no way attempts to say you can ignore sin after salvation. Please give it a read if you are seriously looking for encouragement and comfort in knowing you are secure in Christ, and if you would like to hear the explanation before you condemn it.

The Bible says in Hebrews 12:14 that without holiness no one will see the Lord. If you want eternal security accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior AND live a holy, repentant life. You cannot commit sin after sin without confessing them and make it to Heaven. To believe otherwise is to distort scripture. If you ignore sins after being born again you are trampling underfoot the precious blood of Jesus. Read Jude 4; 1 Cor. 6:9,10; Gal. 5:19-21; Eph. 5:5-7; Rev. 21:8; 1 Jn. 2:3,4; 1 Jn. 3:10.

Dr. Stanley does a very good job of backing uphis view of eternal security. He also dealswith the verses in the Bible that others useto deny eternal security and explains why hebelieves that the verses are not written forthat reason.It will help to settle the questions thatyou have so that you can have peace on thevital question of the security that allbelievers have in Christ.

I have always listened eagerly to Dr. Charles Stanley. I have just started reading the book and find his reasons for Eternal Security compelling and assuring. Knowing this, I can relax in the Lord instead of fretting over every sin or defect in my character. I am covered with the Blood of the Lamb now and forever. My father just recently entered his home in heaven. What peace and joy I have knowing that he is at home with the Lord Jesus Christ, my Savior and his Savior.Thank God for people like Charles Stanley.Cindy

Dr. Stanley's clear and sound teaching of God's Word helps clear the doubts and questions of those who believe you can fall from Grace... So many are living in doubt and discouragement and yet the Gospel of Jesus Christ is one of hope, encouragement, security and freedom from the bondage of sin and man's requirements. If the message of the Lord's is positive and the doctrine of those spreading doubt and discouragement is negative... then where does such a doctrine come from?? It's a counterfeit teaching and I believe Dr. Stanley does an excellent job addressing the issue.

This is the one of the greatest books Dr. Stanley has ever written. At a time when I needed assurance of my salvation and not just other people's opinions, as there are many, Dr. Stanley showed in scriptures and the Lord's work thru me in the Holy Spirit, I have never ever doubted my salvation again. Thank you Dr. Stanley for continuing to be America's preacher.

This is a great book for people who don't know about their security or need assurance. I always knew we were forever saved but this set in stone and helped me be more prepared to have answers for others that are not sure.

How this book has freed me! Raised to believe the other view, I was always walking in fear of losing my salvation, would I miss the rapture, and I was always trying to be good enough, and failing! I wanted to believe once saved always saved, but kept finding verses that I thought condemned me. I did not even have to finish this book before Charles Stanley had shown me that I am a saved child of God, and that my salvation is eternal. How many times would Jesus have to die on the cross for my sins! His sacrifice was enough, Since this book has given me the assurance of my Salvation, my walk with Christ has really taken off, and I am now allowing God to make me good enough! He does it so much much better. I purchased a copy for each of my loved ones who had the same fears! This book is a must read for anyone who is living with the same fear that I had.

Very insightful study into Jesus' promise of eternal life. Provides exegesis for many of the verses people use to oppose the doctrine of eternal security. Dr. Stanley was once opposed to the doctrine himself. He explains how being opposed to it hinders a friendship with Jesus, and that those who believe salvation can be taken away promotes earning one's way to salvation out of duty, not love. For if a person is given eternal life and loses it, how then was it eternal? Excellent study.
