Presumed Faith: A Study of 1 John Verse-by-Verse

By Jim Bryant

Our day is a day of weak theology, emotions, and confusion in what most observe and consider to be true salvation. This book was written under a sense of compassion for the many people caught-up in or affected by ministries promoting a type of faith "that does not save." The analogy of our Lord that many in religion are on the "broad road," while only a few find the "narrow road" is a warning being overlooked by many professing Christians. With all the confusing messages, where can any person go to find a sure anchor for personal assurance of their salvation? It is the particularly subject of John's first epistle as stated by John (1 John 5:13). The writer has systematized and followed John's text in the simplest manner to clarify the error of "presumed faith," as contrasted with true "saving faith." This careful exposition brings clarity to the earmarks of sanctification present in all truly transformed Christian's. These marks serve as the unique inspired God provided means for assurance. The writer, by carefully examining John's writing, allows the text to bring either assurance, or an appropriate convicted concern to be addressed, thereby leading to a right relationship with God.The most important, fundamental matter of all time, for every person, is where he will spend eternity? This issue is addressed openly, lovingly, and carefully from every angle. In a world of darkness, and often sincere but misguided counsel, there is only one place to look for the truth. That place is the Word of God. This book is an in depth yet simple guide through John's writing. It is outlined in detail, showing the deliberate progress of John's theme. The reader is systematically led through the God inspired assessment by John of true spiritual life causing the reader to deal personally with the most significant question - am I right with God; am I really saved?
