Assurance and Good Works in the Three Forms of Unity

In "Assurance and Good Works in the Three Forms of Unity," Manuel Kuhs explores the relationship between assurance of salvation and good works as articulated in the Reformed confessions, particularly the Three Forms of Unity. He argues that assurance is an integral part of faith and is rooted in the doctrine of justification by faith alone, which allows believers to have confidence in their salvation regardless of their perceived holiness or good works. Kuhs critiques views that suggest assurance depends on mystical experiences or visible good works, asserting that such beliefs undermine the foundational Reformation principle that assurance comes solely through faith in Christ.
