About this book

Murray addresses people who earnestly seek salvation but have not yet come to faith, presenting faith in Jesus as the sole way to salvation and a gift nurtured through God’s Word. Opening with Christ’s words in Mark 16:16, he explores faith’s object, beginnings, struggles, and fruit, calling readers to repent, trust God’s promises, receive Christ, and surrender themselves to him.
