In his book "Set Free" Dr. Jack Cottrell addresses a very important issue, assurance of salvation. He brings up the point that "one of the most important aspects of the Christian life, one that God has promised and that every Christian should possess, seems to be missing in the lives of many." In fact, some of the greatest fears of religious people are death and the final judgement. I find it very significant that some of the most fearful are the devoted religious people.
