The Importance of Assurance of Salvation

One of the main ideas discussed in this podcast is the importance of having assurance of salvation. The speaker, Greg Gilbert, emphasizes that many Christians struggle with doubts and questions about their salvation, and it is a significant pastoral issue. He argues that assurance of salvation can be found by looking at Jesus and His work, rather than constantly focusing on self-examination. The speaker also highlights how his book "Assured" addresses this topic and provides biblical guidance for Christians seeking assurance of salvation.
