Rev. Andy Wilson and Rev. Russell Hamilton talk about Assurance and how The Marrow of Modern Divinity is helpful in untangling this perennial pastoral issue. They clarify of what, exactly, are we assured, what is the relationship between faith and assurance, and how are ruling elders to help people in the search for assurance?
As Donald MacLeod says, "A believer can doubt his faith without doubting the Saviour.” (From the Marrow Men to the Moderates, Scottish Theology 1700-1800, p.99)
