This book was born from my burden (1) that people who call themselves Christian might desire to read and study the Scriptures themselves (John 5:39); because of (2) the great fear I have that many who think they are Christian have been misled and do not know the truth (Ephesians 5:6). Chapter 1 deals with four questions concerning salvation: Why do I need to know about the Gospel? What if I don't know? How can I know? How can I be assured once I know? The two theses are the remainder of the book elaborating on the security of our salvation and the study of the Scriptures and church history concerning the rapture of the church.
