Full Assurance: A Series of Messages for Anxious Souls
Overview
Ironside penned these messages with a simple goal in mind: “to make as plain as I possibly can just how any troubled soul may find settled peace with God.” He is concerned with doubters and skeptics, and especially those too indifferent to investigate Christianity. Drawing from biblical reflection and his own experience, Ironside finds words to comfort those who doubt, and provides simple and honest exposition for skeptics.

“‘And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.’ I prayed earnestly that if He had some purpose in permitting me to miss my train and comfortable accommodations, I might not fail to find it out.” (Pages 12–13)
“Christ’s bodily resurrection is the divine token that all has been dealt with to God’s satisfaction. Jesus bore our sins on the cross. He made Himself responsible for them. He died to put them away forever. But God raised Him from the dead, thereby attesting His good pleasure in the work of His Son. Now the blessed Lord sits exalted at the right hand of the Majesty in the heavens. He could not be there if our sins were still upon Him. The fact that He is there proves that they are completely put away. God is satisfied!” (Page 24)
“Be certain of this: God is deeply concerned about you. He longs to give you the knowledge of His salvation. It is no mere accident that these pages have come to your attention.” (Page 15)
“As soon as one knows he is saved, he should begin, in dependence upon the Holy Spirit, a careful, regular, systematic study of the Word of God.” (Page 48)
“Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; that being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life’” (Page 28)
