One Sure Thing: The Power Of A Life Grounded In Assurance

In this first book of practical discipleship, pastor and author Robert Harman brings the best of what he has learned in forty years of teaching the Bible to small groups, large groups, and international audiences, to examine the key beliefs needed for a vibrant Christian life. After an initial 5000 printed copies sold out in Eastern Europe, it gives him great pleasure to offer these essentials of assurance to a wider audience. Whether read privately or studied in a group, the chapters will challenge you to closely examine each topic and its implications: what does the Bible really say? Where do we start in discipleship? What are the essential truths, the most important building blocks for following Christ? How can people become solid in their faith? Step by step, the chapters build on each other, covering such topics as: who Jesus is, what He accomplished, the three parts of salvation for the three parts of man, water baptism, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, Jesus' suffering in hell, the judgment believers will face, the judgment believers will not face, eternal destinies of believers and unbelievers, and much more. As Robert Harman simply and yet profoundly unfolds these faith-building truths, readers will experience the redeeming power of God's grace in a deep and meaningful way, touching their past, their present, and their future. Some of the questions boldly addressed are: How can I be sure I am going to heaven? Can I know for certain I'm going to heaven when I die? Can I lose my salvation? How can God write "not guilty" across my record? After Jesus died, did He continue to suffer? Will I be "physical" in the coming resurrection (and will I have wrinkles)? What one thing will help me maximize my reward in heaven?
