I have always enjoyed reading Tullian Tchividjian. He writes about grace, and he writes often about not looking to ourselves, our efforts, our works for salvation or for assurance to salvation.
One way to know if a preacher, teacher, speaker, is telling the truth of scripture is when they point to two thing and two things only. Christ and the Bible. Besides my preacher, there are very few that do both of these things. But Chuck Swindoll and Tullian are two that do this every time. Today Tullian has an exceptional article and one that I could do no better in writing. I highly recommend its read and pondering.
Please read Where Can I Find Assurance.
Another good source is the messages by Wade Burleson on the book of Hebrews. In this study we see how Christ is the only source of all things. How the Old Testament points to Christ. So far it has been about a year studying the book of Hebrews with another 6 months worth of sermons to follow. So begin to listen at the beginning(January 2011) to get the full meaning of this wonderful book.
