What must we do to combat doubts about salvation?
To combat doubts about salvation, constantly stay in the Word, affirming that salvation is by grace and faith plus nothing. When doubts ask if you have believed enough or must do something more, remember Christ accomplished it and did not die in vain; His finished work is sufficient.
Les explains that the Galatian congregations were being undermined by Judaizers who insisted salvation required grace plus law and circumcision. He warns that similar insidious ideas creep into believers today, causing doubt and wonder. Like his grandson asking if he had believed enough, Satan then suggests maybe you must do this or that. The remedy is to constantly stay in the Word, affirming salvation is by grace and faith plus nothing, because Christ finished the work and did not die in vain.
