    No conditions? Faith alone is dead. Grace alone is dead. Good works alone are dead. Love is obedience and discipline. Unless we bear good fruit we will be cut down and thrown into the fire. Matthew 7:19-23 & John 15:1-8 Demons believe but they will never say, Jesus is Lord. That's why Paul wrote that we must believe and confess. Romans 10:9,10 Jesus told us to pray to The Father and ask for forgiveness. Matthew 6:9-13 John teaches to confess our sins. 1st John 1:9 In the name of Jesus. John 16:23-28 Love God and love your neighbor. Even your enemy is your neighbor.

    • @lincolnforlong8378
      @lincolnforlong8378 7 місяців тому

      Hi, thanks for your comment. Yes, all Scripture, including the minor prophets have valuable lessons for us Gentiles. We learn much of God’s character, how He responds to Israel and His covenantal future faithfulness to Israel. If Yahweh can be trusted with unfaithful Israel, we Gentiles can trust Him. Especially considering the New Covenant promises to Israel and the church. Hosea reminds us Gentiles of New Testament certainties in Christ. Hebrews 9:15, “Therefore he is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, since a death has occurred that redeems them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.” Philippians 1:6, “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.”

    I will never live the life I thought I could due to things outside of my control.. This Life on earth is corrupted and what’s worse is there’s nothing, no good or god to actually give a fuck about those who pray.. I try and have for years but I guess those who hold the information are in the position to use me and alter my life for reasons I never agreed to nor know. There’s no god that’s cares. If god did then there would be action taken against such insidious plans and agendas of those who did this..l i was chosen to be a pawn in their scheme. That’s my life as David Santiago. Someone who is lied to and has secrets kept from him to be a human test subject for another’s greed and goal…I lost in this life and god never saw nor cared to act…because there’s no god that loves us enough to intervene. That’s the truth. Only the schemes and action of those who are capable of doing it… I think of how easy it is for those who have done what they’ve done to sleep knowing I can’t sleep thinking about all that’s happened and why…my own family has completely let go of me in terms of caring about what i say and what’s happening..they’d rather put casita in god and let go handle it.

      @troyte831 6 місяців тому

      Hey bro, sorry you feel that way. Life is hard and often times we see evil go unchecked and it can make us wonder why would God allow such things to occur. I don't deny that there is a tension between our faith in and all good and powerful God and the reality of evil in this world that seems to go unchecked. It could feel like you are all alone and can be tough to understand how a good God can allow these things to happen. The reality is, the Bible itself actually asks the very questions you are asking. The book of Job is a perfect example. The reality is that some things are outside of our understanding. The thing is though, if God doesn't exist than this supposed evil we see and experience is nothing at all, but just actions. There is no right, wrong, or indifference. Yet, evil can only be called evil by measuring it some objective standard of good. If God does not exist, than good doesn't exist. Only actions, neither right nor wrong. Lastly, you mentioned that "no god loves us enough to intervene," yet, the very essence of the gospel and story of the Bible is that God does love us and intervened. He intervened when he took on a human nature in the person of Jesus Christ, and he walked among us and our sin filled world. He lived a perfect life, one that we couldn't possibly live because of our sin. Then he died the death that we deserved, due to our sin. He intervened by taking the punishment for our sins by dying the death on the cross. Not only did he take the punishment for our sins, he defeated death and sin on the cross. The evil you speak of is and will be defeated by Jesus. He died, and then three days later he rose, conquering death and the devil. Evil in this world will be defeated when he returns. We all have the opportunity now to call on his name for repentance and forgiveness of sins. It doesn't matter what you have done, we all a chance at a new life in Jesus filled with forgiveness and peace with God. I pray you call on his name and trust in him.

    I was deeply backslidden for close to 40 years...I never gave up or denied my faith and always believed I was still saved, although my life had very little real evidence of meaningful service to God. I didn't go over to gross sin, no drugs, no alcohol, no criminal behavior really, other than a rebellious contempt for authority, with only a few minor infractions. I stayed law-abiding...just a regular person, really. I did, however, become addicted to pornography for a relatively long time. Not now though...As I got up into my seventies, God was still faithful, allowing me to continue my hopeless lifestyle without major interruption. To make a long story short, God convicted me of my sinful, service-less lifestyle. I was brought to ultimate despair over it, thinking there was now no hope for me. Shortly before, after the New Year, I had had a resurgence in my faith with a new hope about it and God directed to to start studying the Bible. One of the first books I read was Galatians, then Ephesians. For the first time the words of Eph 1 really grasped my attention! I had read it several times over the years but never thought to linger on what it said. I just figured it was above my spiritual ability to understand, but this time I grasped the doctrine of Election for the first time! My mind was FORCED to pursue it...just as I started wrestling with it I started seeing videos on U-tube talking about and explaining God's sovereign election of His saints. Men like John MacArthur, Voddie Bauchan, Steve Lawson eloquently explained it to me and made it clear to me that for FORTY YEARS I had been CRIPPLED from victory in Christ by not realizing the truth of what the Bible, practically throughout, declares about God's Elect - NO WONDER my christian walk was such a failure! That whole time I was thinking my salvation depended on ME, when it's ALL OF GOD! I know Satan is not going to stop trying to make me feel condemned...but now, I'M NOT FALLING FOR IT. I know I was saved at thirty, but was just massively deceived my whole life. Salvations is not by free will choice...God CHOSE to turn His love and grace on me and called me from DEATH to LIFE. I was INCAPABLE to be saved otherwise. I have since repented FULLY and am now WAITING ON GOD to confirm me to the image of His Dear Son. I am convinced there will be, at least, JUST AS MANY that reject God, if that DID depended SOLELY on free will - as there would be based on the doctrine of Election.

    You can only "backslide" if you are under some form of law. You must be on a scale to slide forward and back. Christians are not under the law. God no longer counts our sins against us. When a Christian sins, they can thank God that their sin no longer separates them from Him. Therefore, they can confidently approach God, receiving His grace and mercy which will help identify why they weren't trusting God when they sinned. That is grace, not law.

      The safest place to be is as close to Christ as possible. The path for me was unbelief to belief to fear to love to far greater obedience. In my case; I had to be humbled and God allowed for that to my benefit. Once I desperately needed God; I cried out to Jesus on my knees for help. He gave me faith where I had slim to none as a gift. Read his word daily even if only half a page. Pray daily and better if you do several times a day. Not only structured prayer; but speak to him as you would to your King who also happens to be your Father. Be honest with yourself and with God. He already knows your heart. Spend the time with him. Show the effort in earnest and you will be reunited with him. God met me where I was. Down and out, broken, dirty and desperate. He will meet any who have their heart right to change and follow him.

    Isaiah 55:1-11 NKJV - “Ho! Everyone who thirsts, Come to the waters; And you who have no money, Come, buy and eat. Yes, come, buy wine and milk Without money and without price. Why do you spend money for what is not bread, And your wages for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, And let your soul delight itself in abundance. Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live; And I will make an everlasting covenant with you- The sure mercies of David. Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people, A leader and commander for the people. Surely you shall call a nation you do not know, And nations who do not know you shall run to you, Because of the LORD your God, And the Holy One of Israel; For He has glorified you.” Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, And the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, And He will have mercy on him; And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon. “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the LORD. “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts. “For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower And bread to the eater, So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

      @@Earth2Flo-v6f totally right God bless you and do not fear for your salvation Jesus loves you so much by faith you are saved not by works lest any man should boast the only reason that you or I go to heaven is because of what Jesus did upon the cross that's it he purchased your salvation I've never met you in my life but we will see each other that's a guarantee and the enemy is always going to challenge you when you mess up about your salvation as a matter of fact the devil is the accuser of the brothers and sisters he accuses us night and day before God but thank God has taken our sins past present and future and nailed them to the cross we are eternally safe I believe the day that Jesus came in your life eternity started for you remember Jesus said the kingdom of heaven doesn't come through observation the Kingdom of Heaven is among you the Kingdom of Heaven is in you God bless you Sister when we meet each other in the Kingdom of Heaven you can tell me all about the goodness of God God bless you

      @@timothy4131 thank you Timothy. The church I use to study with teaches that all holidays are evil. I don’t know what to think of that. I did quit Xmas, easter Halloween as I believe them not Christian holy days, but birthdays I do get with my family, I have many little grandchildren and I don’t worship them but I’m being told it’s evil. I don’t know, I need a message from Jesus on this🤔

    Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD GOD Almighty! You have broken my heart and drawn out not only tears of hurt and pain because of failure, but also because of healing. For I need You O' My LORD! And indeed, with this hardened heart, You have spoken a renewing of life into me! Praise You o GOD! Praise You in all the four corners of the earth! And let our prayers rise up into the firmament and water us with you love! For I am a broken man, a backslider, seeking to walk the glorious narrow path in Christ Jesus as a discipline, slave and redeemed. Holy is the LORD! Glory Be the Father of Lights! And may His Son Shine in my heart forever!
