What will happen to Christians in the future when they meet the Lord Jesus Christ? While true believers in Christ are assured of their deliverance from Hell, will they still face some form of punishment? Will they suffer punitive damages for sins committed on earth after becoming a child of God? Will Christians face the possibility of receiving a stinging rebuke from Christ, being rejected by Him, and cast into outer darkness to experience torment with wailing and gnashing of teeth? Are Christians still the objects of God's wrath? Is there a distinction between God's punishment and His discipline? What does it mean to be an overcomer? SHOULD CHRISTIANS FEAR OUTER DARKNESS? thoroughly answers these questions and more from the Bible. This book sets forth the contrast between true biblical teaching and the views of many contemporary proponents of outer darkness for Christians. SHOULD CHRISTIANS FEAR OUTER DARKNESS? clearly explains how God deals with every child of God in love and grace, rather than legalism and fear. If you are a Christian struggling with a perform-or-else approach to the Christian life and future, eternal rewards, this book will encourage you with the prospect of seeing your Savior face to face as your Blessed Hope.

Should Christians Fear Outer Darkness?

Christians who follow the Bible readily acknowledge that faith in Jesus Christ is necessary for eternal salvation. But if faith is necessary to be saved in the first place, what happens when a person stops believing? What if a person’s faith falters, fails, or is unfruitful? Will that person be lost?
Must Faith Endure for Salvation to Be Sure? answers these questions in detail by examining the key biblical passages on perseverance in faith and the believer’s preservation in Christ. This book shows from Scripture that all who have placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone, rather than their own good works, will be kept safe and eternally secure by God’s grace and power.
Rather than the traditional Reformed doctrine of the perseverance of the saints, the Bible teaches that a person’s eternal salvation rests solely upon the perseverance of the Savior in keeping His own secure. While perseverance is necessary for the believer’s ongoing fellowship with the Lord and spiritual fruitfulness in service to Him, it is not a requirement to possess eternal life. Believers in Christ can be personally assured that they will never perish forever because their salvation rests solely upon the faithfulness and finished work of the Savior on their behalf.
