I'm sure you are living a life of repentance from sin though, right? Even though we struggle with our flesh we continue to repent every day. What brother Paul is talking about is are the masses of people in the world right now that claim the name of Jesus as a free ticket to live in as much sin as they please.

@@wojak91 Sanctification is a process that lasts through the whole life of a believer, an immature Christian who does not yet know what all the bible says about how we should live after we have been saved may come to the conclusion that because they are saved it is then okay to live however they want to live. My dad was one of these people, he got saved at a young age and then for ten years lived as though he never knew Christ, he eventually realized what a mistake he had made and returned to the Lord's house, now he is a preacher. It is our choice after that we have been saved whether or not we are going to walk in paths of righteousness and submit to the Lord daily asking for forgiveness for our sins or whether we are going to go our own way and refuse to feed the inner man who desires the things of God.

So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. James 2:17 Faith without works is dead. Why ? Because good works is evidence for being saved not what saves us but what comes after we are saved, the Holy Spirit is recreating us into Christ's image until we meet God. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6

@@DennisBonich The verb for save is sōzō. It means "to preserve or rescue from danger." That danger can be earthly or eternal depend- ing on the context. Context is key! Sōzō appears five times in James. What kind of salvation is it? Two uses are absolutely about earthly salvation! Salvation from sickness (James 5:15) Salvation from death (James 5:20) And if you look at the context, so are the other three: Salvation from physical destruction (James 4:12) Salvation from poverty (James 2:14) Salvation from the deadly effects of sin (James 1:21; cf. v 15) Conclusion: Paul and James did not contradict each other! While Paul taught that eternal salvation is by grace, through faith, apart from works (Eph 2:8-9), James taught that earthly salvation depends on works. God cares about both!

@@elizabethl3323 The point is we are saved by Grace through faith but after we are saved there will be good works as evidence for being saved, if someone claim they are saved but has no transformation are they then saved? Holy Spirit will work in us till we die. And I am sure of this, that he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6

@@elizabethl3323 also why did Jesus say repent or perish? No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. Luke 13:3

@@elizabethl3323 repent means turning away from your sin. He also said to the prostitute Go and sin no more!

@nikkisfurkids5783 Don't embrace or listen to the false teachings of Paul Washer who is a FALSE TEACHER preaching the false gospel of Calvinism/Lordship Salvation which is WORKS SALVATION. If you want to be saved, BELIEVE on Christ and His finished work on the cross. The Bible says that eternal life is a free gift, that is not of our works - Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 6:23. Salvation is a one time event that saves a person in a NANOSECOND for all eternity - John 5:24. Acts 16:30-31 - 30 He then brought them out and asked, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They replied, “BELIEVE in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.” Ephesians 2:8-9 - For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, so that no one can boast. Romans 3:20 - Therefore no one will be declared righteous in God’s sight by the works of the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of our sin. Romans 3:28 - For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law. Romans 4:2-6 - 2 If, in fact, Abraham was justified by works, he had something to boast about-but not before God. 3 What does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 4 Now to the one who works, wages are not credited as a gift but as an obligation. 5 However, to the one who does not work but trusts God who justifies the ungodly, their faith is credited as righteousness. 6 David says the same thing when he speaks of the blessedness of the one to whom God credits righteousness apart from works. Romans 9:31-32 - but the people of Israel, who pursued the law as the way of righteousness, have not attained their goal. 32 Why not? BECAUSE THEY PURSUED IT NOT BY FAITH BUT AS IF IT WERE BY WORKS. They stumbled over the stumbling stone. Romans 10:4 - For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. Romans 11:6 - And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace. Galatians 2:16 - know that a person IS NOT JUSTIFIED BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, BECAUSE BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. Galatians 2:21 - I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing. Galatians 3:6 - So also Abraham “BELIEVED God, and it was CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Galatians 5:4 - You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. Titus 3:5 - HE saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, Genesis 15:6 - Abraham believed the Lord, and HE CREDITED IT TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Hope this helps, God bless!

@nikkisfurkids5783 Sin is transgression of the law of God, but we are not under the law of God for salvation, we are under GRACE. Christ did what no man on the face of this earth could ever do, and that is fulfill the law of God in absolute sinless perfection - Matthew 5:17-18. It is Christ's imputed righteousness that justifies a person positionally before God, that is, His perfect fulfillment of the law, and His blood sacrifice and death on the cross. We all still commit sin by breaking the law of God in one way or another after we are saved, and that includes ME. We are not under the law for SALVATION. If we break the law, we will no doubt suffer the consequences including chastisement from God and other societal consequences, BUT we are still saved. After a person is saved, if the person goes out and commits a crime and gets caught, the person will no doubt suffer the earthly consequences of his/her actions including prison time and chastisement from God, BUT the person is still SAVED. Again, we are NOT under the law for salvation, but under the law because we live in a world that upholds the law which maintains order in society and if anyone breaks those laws, there will be consequences. If we commit adultery, we will no doubt suffer the earthly consequences and be subject to God's temporal judgment, BUT WE ARE STILL GOD'S CHILDREN. There are scores of saved pastors and lay people who commit adultery, but that does not mean they will "lose their salvation" or mean "they were never saved to begin with", if that's what you're thinking. Too many people let Calvinism and Arminianism contaminate their doctrine because of the prevalence of these 2 false doctrines that have permeated all the churches within mainstream Christianity. Christ's blood atonement and death on the cross did not free us from sinning, but freed us from the penalty of sin which is ETERNAL CONDEMNATION in hell and the eventual Lake of Fire. Again, all SAVED Christians still sin AFTER they are saved. Saved Christians will be freed from the old sin nature on the very day of the Rapture, but for now we all still sin no matter what, no matter how hard we try not to. The OUTER MAN, which is the FLESH, the old SIN NATURE still resides in all of us where we all still sin EXPERIENTIALLY after we are saved (Romans 7:14-25, Galatians 5:13) whether its sins of omission that we are not aware of and deliberate sins that we do. The OUTER MAN, the FLESH, which is the old SIN NATURE will not be eradicated until Christ returns at the Rapture to take and TRANSFORM us into perfect, sinless, eternal bodies - 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, Philippians 3:21, 1 John 3:2. Philippians 3:21 - Who shall change OUR VILE BODY, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself. 1 John 3:2 - Beloved, now are WE ARE THE SONS OF GOD, and IT DOTH NOT YET APPEAR WHAT WE SHALL BE: but we know that, when he shall appear, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; for we shall see him as he is. However, we have not died to our old nature in this earthly life and have not died to sin at the moment of faith. The old nature still resides in all of us (the flesh, the OUTER MAN) and will not be eradicated until the very day of the Rapture when Christ personally comes to take and transform us. That is the whole point of Philippians 3:21, 1 John 3:2, 1 Corinthians 15:51-52, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17. Again, we have NOT died to sin yet as we all still sin. That is why 1 John 1:8-10 and 1 John 2:1 was written. Our performance of good works before God is not in perfection as we all still sin AFTER our conversion. Our good works in this life contribute to the edification of others as PROFITABLE SERVICE - James 2:14-26, 1 John 3:17-18 and will earn us ETERNAL REWARDS at the future Judgment Seat of Christ - 2 Corinthians 5:10, 1 Corinthians 3:10-15 when our earthly lives will be evaluated to determine the gain or loss of eternal rewards and the privilege of reigning with Christ in the Millennial kingdom - Revelation 2:26, Revelation 3:21, Luke 19:11-27. Hope this helps, God bless!

@nikkisfurkids5783 Here are Biblical examples of Godly people in the New Testament whom the apostle Paul affirmed are still saved despite their sinful deeds. The Corinthian Christians of the apostle Paul's time certainly would convince many people that they were "unsaved" or "had lost their salvation." Their lives were deplorable and were living in gross sin and immorality, but Paul affirmed the fact that they were saved in 1 Corinthians 3:1 as he addressed them as "brethren" that were "carnal babes in Christ". Paul would not have addressed them in that way if they were not saved. Paul addresses them as "brethren" in 1 Cor 2:1, as "brethren" and "carnal' "babes in Christ" in 1 Cor 3:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 4:6, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 10:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 11:2, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 12:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 14:20, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 15:1, as "brethren" in 1 Cor 15:58. (KJV) The above list in 1 Corinthians where Paul repeatedly addressed the Corinthian Christians as "brethren" is overwhelming evidence that these are saved people possessing eternal life. Paul would not have addressed them as "brethren" if they were not saved. When Paul addressed the Corinthian church they were living in sexual immorality, lawsuits, divisions, etc, at the very time when he wrote to them. Lordshippers just love to change the plain text and teach that Paul was referring to the Corinthians after they matured. NO, Paul was addressing and rebuking them in their present state while they were living in sin. It makes no logical sense for the apostle Paul to address and rebuke them if the Corinthians "grew" and matured. Paul addresses them as "Brethren" meaning they were saved, but he couldn't address them as spiritual and mature because they were not. They were saved, but CARNAL and BABES IN CHRIST who were still not growing as Paul said they were still drinking milk. 1 Corinthians 3:1 KJV - "And I, BRETHREN, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto CARNAL, even as unto BABES IN CHRIST." 1 Corinthians 3:2 - I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, YOU ARE STILL NOT READY. 1) 1 Corinthians 3:3 - there was ENVYING, STRIFE, and DIVISIONS among the Christians. 2) 1 Corinthians 5:1-5 - A CHRISTIAN MAN WAS HAVING SEX WITH HIS STEPMOTHER and consequently Paul pronounced judgment on this man in 1 Corinthians 5:5 where Paul says, "hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be SAVED on the day of the Lord". The Corinthian Christian's attitude regarding this man who was sleeping with his stepmother was one of PRIDE - 1 Cor 5:2 In 2 Corinthians 2:5-8, Paul gives an update on this man where we read that this man was chastened with CHURCH DISCIPLINE and that God had mercy on him and did not terminate his physical life. Paul instructs the church to forgive and comfort him so that he won't be overcome by excessive sorrow and to reaffirm their love and concern for him. 2 Corinthians 2:5-8 - But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was INFLICTED BY MANY. So that contrariwise ye ought rather to FORGIVE HIM, AND COMFORT HIM, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. Wherefore I beseech you that ye would CONFIRM YOUR LOVE TOWARD HIM. 3) 1 Corinthians 4:18 - there was ARROGANCE among the Corinthian Christians. 4) 1 Corinthians 6:7-8 - THERE WERE CHRISTIANS TAKING OTHER CHRISTIANS TO COURT and there was CHEATING among them. 5) 1 Corinthians 7:2 - there was FORNICATION among the Christians. 6) 1 Corinthians 11:20-22 - there were Christians EATING SELFISHLY, and there was DRUNKENNESS at the Lord's Supper. Because of their selfish indulgence of food and getting drunk God brought about SICKNESS and PHYSICAL DEATH as punishment - 1 Cor 11:29-30. Scripture is clear that there are indeed carnal Christians that are saved. It's not good or spiritually edifying that they are living in sin. God will CHASTISE them because they are His children, but they are still saved - Hebrews 12:5-11. The book of 1 Corinthians confirms the reality of carnal Christians who were living in sin and Paul affirmed that they are eternally saved by addressing them as "sanctified in Christ Jesus" and "saints" in 1 Cor 1:2. Paul also made it clear that he would deal with those who were sinning in the Corinthian Church with DISCIPLINE/CHASTISEMENT. This, of course, was not a threat against their salvation and eternal security. They were in danger of chastisement from God for their sinful actions and behavior - 2 Corinthians 13:2. Paul had already pronounced chastisement on the man who was sleeping with his stepmother in 1 Corinthians 5:1-5. All the other sinning believers were in the same danger of chastisement from God just like the ones who were eating selfishly and getting drunk at the Lord's Supper - 1 Corinthians 11:20-22 and their consequent chastisement of sickness and premature physical death where their life spans were cut short - 1 Corinthians 11:29-30. 2 Corinthians 13:2 - I already gave you a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent: On my return I will not spare those who sinned earlier or any of the others. It appears that Paul was warning the Corinthian believers about imminent chastisement from God if they didn't heed his warnings to them. In 1 Corinthians 11:29-30, it clearly states that God had already dealt with some of the Corinthian Christians who were eating selfishly and getting drunk at the Lord's Supper (1 Corinthians 11:20-22) by sending sickness and premature PHYSICAL DEATH where their life spans were cut short. Self-righteous Calvinists/Lordship Salvationists like PAUL WASHER and a host of others and Arminian/Lordship Salvationists will of course deliberately deny the existence of carnal Christians and would deliberately write off carnal Christians who are living in sin as "unsaved" or having "lost their salvation" despite overwhelming evidence from Scripture. Hope this helps, God bless!

@nikkisfurkids5783 1) Samson is a true man of God and at the same time a FORNICATOR - Judges 16:1 who led Israel for 20 years - Judges 15:20, Judges 16:31. The Bible is clear that he saw a prostitute and spent the night with her and what is described in Mark 7:20-23 and Galatians 5:19 was in Samson's heart at that very moment. Samson's last prayer just before his simultaneous murder/suicide was NOT a prayer of repentance, but was a request to God to strengthen him so that he could get REVENGE on the Philistines for the loss of his 2 eyes. Then in Judges 16:28-30, Samson commits a simultaneous MURDER/SUICIDE.Yet Samson is listed as a Godly man of faith in Hebrews 11:32. Samson would not be listed there if he was unsaved. 2) KING DAVID is a true man of God who struggled with LIVE PORNOGRAPHY and no doubt at that moment had sexual lust in his heart (Mark 7:20-23, Galatians 5:19) as he watched Bathsheba take a bath from the roof of his palace and then gave in to the temptation and committed ADULTERY/MURDER - 2 Samuel 11:1-21. This happened despite the fact that King David had over 6 wives at the time - 2 Samuel 3:1-5, 2 Samuel 5:13. King David felt no conviction for his sins of adultery and murder because of the deliberate steps that he took to bring Bathsheba to him and then gave orders for the murder of her husband, Uriah the Hittite. God had to send Nathan the prophet to WAKE HIM UP - 2 Samuel 12. God chastised King David with a series of painful consequences for the rest of his life - 2 Samuel 12:10, but his eternal salvation was never in question. King David is a true man of God and is called the "man after God's heart" - Acts 13:22, but the deliberate steps that he took to bring Bathsheba to his palace obviously showed that King David felt NO CONVICTION. David sent an assistant to find out about her -2 Samuel 11:3 and was then informed that Bathsheba is MARRIED to Uriah the Hittite. Then despite knowing that fact about Bathsheba which should have deterred him, he instructs his assistants to bring her to him - 2 Samuel 11:4. Those chronological actions taken by David obviously shows that David felt no conviction about sleeping with another man's wife despite the fact that he was married to over 6 women at the time - 2 Samuel 3:1-5, 2 Samuel 5:13. King David had all the sex that he wanted, but it appeared that his many wives were not enough to satisfy him. He later takes Bathsheba to be one of his many wives adding to the list after murdering her husband, Uriah the Hittite - 2 Samuel 11:26-27. He then gets her pregnant again. There is a big contrast between King David and his sexual lust for Bathsheba in comparison with Joseph and Potiphar's wife. It is important to note that Joseph was SINGLE at that time when Potiphar's wife tempted him on a daily basis. However, Joseph had strong GODLY CONVICTION and refused to give in and because of his strong Godly conviction, the Lord blessed Joseph wherever he went. Both King David and Joseph were SAVED Godly men, but the only difference is that King David had a total lack of Godly conviction when it came to sexual sin, but Joseph had strong Godly conviction. 3) Lot is a man of God, but we read in Genesis 19:6-8 that Lot offers up his 2 daughters for SEX to the homosexuals who surrounded his house and in Genesis 19:31-36 we read that he has SEX WITH BOTH HIS DAUGHTERS GETTING THEM PREGNANT. This was clearly a case of INCEST. Yet Peter refers to Lot as a RIGHTEOUS MAN in 2 Peter 2:7-8 and Peter would not have referred to him as "RIGHTEOUS" if Lot was unsaved. 4) Moses is a man of God who committed the MURDER of an Egyptian - Exodus 2:12. 5) Noah is a man of God who got DRUNK and WENT NAKED in his tent - Genesis 9:21. 6) Jacob is a man of God who was also a SWINDLER as he kept all the best livestock for himself, but left all the weak and defective ones for his father in law Laban. Jacob and his mother Rebekah are both LIARS and DECEIVERS as they both deceived Isaac in stealing the blessing meant for Esau - Genesis 27:1-29. Jacob spoke LYING WORDS of deception to Isaac. 7) Abraham is a LIAR as he lied about his wife Sarah being his sister - Genesis 20:2. People in the Old Testament were saved the exact same way as people in New Testament times, otherwise the apostle Paul would not have quoted Genesis 15:6 in Romans 4:2-6, and Galatians 3:5-8 in support of SALVATION BY FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE APART FROM OUR WORKS. Galatians 3:5-8 - 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, OR BY BELIEVING WHAT YOU HEARD? 6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. 8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced THE GOSPEL IN ADVANCE TO ABRAHAM: “All nations will be blessed through you.” Hope this helps, God bless!

​@@wtom04you are actually a liar! Paul washer dont believe in works based Salvation. He believes after being saved works will be evidence you have the Holy Spirit/saved!

Who said people believe because their afraid? And not all preachers or evangelists are self righteous. Can you tell me how every preacher is spreading hate or fear?

So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, BECAUSE BY THE WORKS OF THE LAW NO ONE WILL BE JUSTIFIED. Galatians 2:21 - I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing. Galatians 3:6 - So also Abraham “BELIEVED God, and it was CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Galatians 5:4 - You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. Titus 3:5 - HE saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, Genesis 15:6 - Abraham believed the Lord, and HE CREDITED IT TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS. Hope this helps, God bless!

The Corinthian Christian's attitude regarding this man who was sleeping with his stepmother was one of PRIDE - 1 Cor 5:2 In 2 Corinthians 2:5-8, Paul gives an update on this man where we read that this man was chastened with CHURCH DISCIPLINE and that God had mercy on him and did not terminate his physical life. Paul instructs the church to forgive and comfort him so that he won't be overcome by excessive sorrow and to reaffirm their love and concern for him. 2 Corinthians 2:5-8 - But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all. Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was INFLICTED BY MANY. So that contrariwise ye ought rather to FORGIVE HIM, AND COMFORT HIM, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. Wherefore I beseech you that ye would CONFIRM YOUR LOVE TOWARD HIM. 3) 1 Corinthians 4:18 - there was ARROGANCE among the Corinthian Christians. 4) 1 Corinthians 6:7-8 - THERE WERE CHRISTIANS TAKING OTHER CHRISTIANS TO COURT and there was CHEATING among them. 5) 1 Corinthians 7:2 - there was FORNICATION among the Christians. 6) 1 Corinthians 11:20-22 - there were Christians EATING SELFISHLY, and there was DRUNKENNESS at the Lord's Supper. Because of their selfish indulgence of food and getting drunk God brought about SICKNESS and PHYSICAL DEATH as punishment - 1 Cor 11:29-30. Scripture is clear that there are indeed carnal Christians that are saved. It's not good or spiritually edifying that they are living in sin. God will CHASTISE them because they are His children, but they are still saved - Hebrews 12:5-11. The book of 1 Corinthians confirms the reality of carnal Christians who were living in sin and Paul affirmed that they are eternally saved by addressing them as "sanctified in Christ Jesus" and "saints" in 1 Cor 1:2. Paul also made it clear that he would deal with those who were sinning in the Corinthian Church with DISCIPLINE/CHASTISEMENT. This, of course, was not a threat against their salvation and eternal security. They were in danger of chastisement from God for their sinful actions and behavior - 2 Corinthians 13:2. Paul had already pronounced chastisement on the man who was sleeping with his stepmother in 1 Corinthians 5:1-5. All the other sinning believers were in the same danger of chastisement from God just like the ones who were eating selfishly and getting drunk at the Lord's Supper - 1 Corinthians 11:20-22 and their consequent chastisement of sickness and premature physical death where their life spans were cut short - 1 Corinthians 11:29-30. 2 Corinthians 13:2 - I already gave you a warning when I was with you the second time. I now repeat it while absent: On my return I will not spare those who sinned earlier or any of the others. It appears that Paul was warning the Corinthian believers about imminent chastisement from God if they didn't heed his warnings to them. In 1 Corinthians 11:29-30, it clearly states that God had already dealt with some of the Corinthian Christians who were eating selfishly and getting drunk at the Lord's Supper (1 Corinthians 11:20-22) by sending sickness and premature PHYSICAL DEATH where their life spans were cut short. Self-righteous Calvinists/Lordship Salvationists like PAUL WASHER and a host of others and Arminian/Lordship Salvationists will of course deliberately deny the existence of carnal Christians and would deliberately write off carnal Christians who are living in sin as "unsaved" or having "lost their salvation" despite overwhelming evidence from Scripture. Hope this helps, God bless!

@TAQ2Music 1) Samson is a true man of God and at the same time a FORNICATOR - Judges 16:1 who led Israel for 20 years - Judges 15:20, Judges 16:31. The Bible is clear that he saw a prostitute and spent the night with her and what is described in Mark 7:20-23 and Galatians 5:19 was in Samson's heart at that very moment. Samson's last prayer just before his simultaneous murder/suicide was NOT a prayer of repentance, but was a request to God to strengthen him so that he could get REVENGE on the Philistines for the loss of his 2 eyes. Then in Judges 16:28-30, Samson commits a simultaneous MURDER/SUICIDE.Yet Samson is listed as a Godly man of faith in Hebrews 11:32. Samson would not be listed there if he was unsaved. 2) KING DAVID is a true man of God who struggled with LIVE PORNOGRAPHY and no doubt at that moment had sexual lust in his heart (Mark 7:20-23, Galatians 5:19) as he watched Bathsheba take a bath from the roof of his palace and then gave in to the temptation and committed ADULTERY/MURDER - 2 Samuel 11:1-21. This happened despite the fact that King David had over 6 wives at the time - 2 Samuel 3:1-5, 2 Samuel 5:13. King David felt no conviction for his sins of adultery and murder because of the deliberate steps that he took to bring Bathsheba to him and then gave orders for the murder of her husband, Uriah the Hittite. God had to send Nathan the prophet to WAKE HIM UP - 2 Samuel 12. God chastised King David with a series of painful consequences for the rest of his life - 2 Samuel 12:10, but his eternal salvation was never in question. King David is a true man of God and is called the "man after God's heart" - Acts 13:22, but the deliberate steps that he took to bring Bathsheba to his palace obviously showed that King David felt NO CONVICTION. David sent an assistant to find out about her -2 Samuel 11:3 and was then informed that Bathsheba is MARRIED to Uriah the Hittite. Then despite knowing that fact about Bathsheba which should have deterred him, he instructs his assistants to bring her to him - 2 Samuel 11:4. Those chronological actions taken by David obviously shows that David felt no conviction about sleeping with another man's wife despite the fact that he was married to over 6 women at the time - 2 Samuel 3:1-5, 2 Samuel 5:13. King David had all the sex that he wanted, but it appeared that his many wives were not enough to satisfy him. He later takes Bathsheba to be one of his many wives adding to the list after murdering her husband, Uriah the Hittite - 2 Samuel 11:26-27. He then gets her pregnant again. There is a big contrast between King David and his sexual lust for Bathsheba in comparison with Joseph and Potiphar's wife. It is important to note that Joseph was SINGLE at that time when Potiphar's wife tempted him on a daily basis. However, Joseph had strong GODLY CONVICTION and refused to give in and because of his strong Godly conviction, the Lord blessed Joseph wherever he went. Both King David and Joseph were SAVED Godly men, but the only difference is that King David had a total lack of Godly conviction when it came to sexual sin, but Joseph had strong Godly conviction. 3) Lot is a man of God, but we read in Genesis 19:6-8 that Lot offers up his 2 daughters for SEX to the homosexuals who surrounded his house and in Genesis 19:31-36 we read that he has SEX WITH BOTH HIS DAUGHTERS GETTING THEM PREGNANT. This was clearly a case of INCEST. Yet Peter refers to Lot as a RIGHTEOUS MAN in 2 Peter 2:7-8 and Peter would not have referred to him as "RIGHTEOUS" if Lot was unsaved. 4) Moses is a man of God who committed the MURDER of an Egyptian - Exodus 2:12. 5) Noah is a man of God who got DRUNK and WENT NAKED in his tent - Genesis 9:21. 6) Jacob is a man of God who was also a SWINDLER as he kept all the best livestock for himself, but left all the weak and defective ones for his father in law Laban. Jacob and his mother Rebekah are both LIARS and DECEIVERS as they both deceived Isaac in stealing the blessing meant for Esau - Genesis 27:1-29. Jacob spoke LYING WORDS of deception to Isaac. 7) Abraham is a LIAR as he lied about his wife Sarah being his sister - Genesis 20:2. People in the Old Testament were saved the exact same way as people in New Testament times, otherwise the apostle Paul would not have quoted Genesis 15:6 in Romans 4:2-6, and Galatians 3:5-8 in support of SALVATION BY FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE APART FROM OUR WORKS. Galatians 3:5-8 - 5 So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, OR BY BELIEVING WHAT YOU HEARD? 6 So also Abraham “believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” 7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham. 8 Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced THE GOSPEL IN ADVANCE TO ABRAHAM: “All nations will be blessed through you.” Hope this helps, God bless!

Good point about the 3,000!

Where does it say that in the Bible? I see in Eph 1:13-14 that we’re sealed the moment we believe .. until the day of redemption.

@@winterpatriot1429 It says it everywhere in the bible, and you should be experiencing it in your life. Romans 12:1-2; 2 Tim.2:21; 1 Thess.4:3; John 17:17 where Jesus is praying to the Father. Yes we are declared justified by faith, and we are redeemed. We are sanctified (set apart) Heb.10:10 "Once for all." But, there is a sanctification process throughout our life which assures us that we are indeed justified (1John 3:18-19). As believers we knew this shorty after receiving the Holy Spirit. The first time we sinned after, we were like 'Oh Jesus, forgive me!' Did this happen to you?

​@@olydriveramen there has to be a transformation. The Holy Spirit will work in us till we die. And he who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ. Philippians 1:6

Is there a local church near where you stay? Visit a few if you need to and pray for wisdom to know which to settle in.

Please find a local church where the gospel is preached every Sunday and fellowship with believers there so you can make friendships there.

Sin, in the cowboy di"ctionary, is defined as "anything thatsy fun."

Did you believe the gospel that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day?

@@ReligiouslyIncorrect Pure fantasy with zero truth.

@@gregjones2217 how so?

@@ReligiouslyIncorrect absolutely

it isnt.. faith without works is dead read james 2. what paul washer is explaining is after you are truly saved you become a new creature your heart and mind begin to change. your old desires are no longer your priority but isntead it is God. You start to repent and turn away from sin not because any of this saves you but because of what Christ did for you on the cross. this isnt works based salvation but a deeper explanation of what happens when someone is saved they turn away from sin they "repent" an active life style as repent isnt solely an after you sin activity but an every day activity. Example: tempted to look at porn instead you repent and turn to God for help you go into prayer or reading the bible. not because any of this saves you but because you are saved you do this.

@@PixelatedMagikarp so how much does someone have to turn from their sin to TRULY believe.

@@itzurboichipzahoy9298 you don’t have to turn to truly believe…. You have to truly believe to be Able to turn away.

@@PixelatedMagikarpusing scripture wrong yet again

@@NYCNY92 facts didn’t know it at the time tho. For it is by grace that we have been saved through faith not of works it is the gift of God If it is by grace it is no longer on the merit of works otherwise grace is no longer grace. Let repentance and living for godliness be for the glory of God and his kingdom because you love him not because you need to do something to be saved but rather because you are already saved through what Christ Jesus has done on the cross. James 2 speaks on the profitability of your works unto others. While all things are lawful not all things are profitable. If your faith has no works then it is of no benefit for others who are not saved nor is it beneficial to yourself or fellow brothers it is dead.

He’s just worried about the lost , he wants them to know how much danger they are in and how serious this is .

Hard to smile when so many are self-deceived about their salvation.
