Saved or Self-Deceived: Examining the Heart of True Salvation

Are You Truly Saved-or Self-Deceived?

In a culture where spiritual language is cheap and assumptions run deep, countless people claim Christ with their lips while their hearts remain far from Him. Many believe they are saved simply because they once prayed a prayer, walked an aisle, or grew up in church-yet their lives show no evidence of true transformation.

With piercing clarity and compassionate urgency, Saved or Self-Deceived invites readers to wrestle with the most important question they will ever face: Do I possess genuine, saving faith-or have I embraced a comforting illusion?

Rooted in the bold truths of 1 John and saturated with the full weight of the gospel, this book refuses to offer shallow reassurance. Instead, it calls readers into honest, Scripture-driven self-examination-revealing the sobering reality that not everyone who believes they are saved has actually been born of God.

Eric Chandler writes not from theory but from experience-once self-deceived, now transformed by grace. His story becomes a lens through which the reader is invited to examine their own. With theological depth, pastoral insight, and a heart aching for the church to awaken, Eric challenges both the religious and the restless, the complacent and the curious, with a message that confronts in order to heal and exposes in order to redeem.

This book is a wake-up call for the slumbering, a compass for the seeking, and a trumpet blast for anyone uncertain about where they truly stand before a holy God.

Will you step into the light-or remain in the shadows of false assurance?

Eternity hinges on the answer.
