My brother just received Christ about 9 months ago. He died 2 weeks ago. Our last conversation was filled with Praise to God, Thankfulness, and bittersweet, but Joyful tears. He had an almost Palpable Peace and was looking forward to leaving this world and his pain racked body, and being with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I said, "I'm not saying goodbye, I'm saying, I'll see you soon"! He said, " Yep, I'll see you soon "! Jesus Christ is risen and ALIVE! THAT'S the difference between EVERY other "Religion", and TRUE Christianity. It is a Genuine RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST!
Danny Qin Sometimes it happens that way though. Everyone’s testimony is different. Some people are going to have so called “crazy back stories” because that’s the life they had, some due to no fault of their own. People have been molested, raped, watched parents murdered, been selling drugs at as young as 8 years old because their parents put them out there, grew up in foster care so had to fend for themselves and sibling at 13 years old so had to sell drugs because too young to get a job and needed to survive, beaten and abused, Etc! So it would be nice if it was that cut and dry, but it’s not. Luke 7:42-43: 40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on. 41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty. 42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? 43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. Some people like myself have those kinds of stories (mine were none of the above - I graduated from college at 22, worked , no clubs, bars, fee friends, however I was wicked in my heart and didn’t realize how dirty I was. Full of pride, fornicating, including sex with other women , etc. I got saved and was sooooo on fire for God. My cousin who says she was saved at 7, and who Took me to the church where I got saved was not on fire for God. She was a virgin when she married, never touched alcohol in her life, obedient to parents. So wholesome and perfect. So when I got saved I had did so much that I loved God so much because he had forgiven me for so much . She doesn’t really have a testimony. And we overcome the devil by the word of our testimony. I’m Not saying go out and do crazy stuff for a testimony cause that’s just dumb 😂😂😂. I wish everyone testimony was like rays because that would save people a lot of heart ache, but IJS it’s rare and it’s ok if it’s not like his. It’s not how we start - but finish.
Agreed... thats the truth. Each of us need to stand in our testimony. Because irregardless of what we face, each of us MUST go before the gathe5r and give an account. Hard life or not. Its not a competition of whose had it worse ( which i used to feel because my testimony didnt always feel dramatic and dark). If one dies lost and without christ.. thats a tragedy. All that living on earth... and missing the creator.... thats a truly saddening testimony or account of someones life.
I was lost for many years, falsely believing "I'm a good guy. I'll be fine." Pretending God did not mind, so that I could continue down my destructive path. He did mind, though, and thankfully did not give up on me. God will get our attention when He decides to do it, and it is wise to not ignore Him. I ignored Him for a long time. I am so thankful He did not give up on me. We will never be perfect. That's where the cross intervenes for us. God wants a relationship. He deserves it. Repent brothers and sisters, and allow Jesus into your hearts. As Billy Graham once said, "I've never known a man who came to Christ and ever regretted it."
@@SaulGoodmun Just said a prayer for YOU. I know I don't know you, but wherever you are I am praying this minute for you. I was there myself until this year past! 60 yrs! Keep watching ALL Ray's videos. He has great books that are not expensive on Amazon. If you are a veteran, please watch Born Again Veteran channel - he has a great movie that will help you alot. Please try! ua-cam.com/video/f5S2J5p6CfY/v-deo.html
I find your story very interesting, can you please, if you don't mind. May you please explain to me how God showed you to stop going down your destructive path?
“I didn’t go to religion to make me happy. I always knew a bottle of Port would do that. If you want a religion to make you feel really comfortable, I certainly don’t recommend Christianity.” - C.S. Lewis Being of salt and light, a Christian, is certainly not easy. My family and friends look and treat me differently. Sin, is a everyday struggle and the great escape that you hope and pray to divide from, to divorce. So that you might marry the bride. I hate this flesh. This life is most depressing and unsatisfying. I put all my hope in you Jesus. I wait humbly to be united with you in the kingdom of heaven.
Every time I hear Ray's testimony tears well up in my eyes because that was me - As a young boy growing up in Orange, California I thought to myself, "My thoughts are my own and nobody knows what I'm thinking." Then, much later in life when I read Jesus' words regarding adultery of the heart, I was undone in my spirit and knew that I was on my way to eternal judgment and I needed saving. I repented of my sin with godly sorrow and trusted in Christ completely. Thank God for His Word that will never pass away. My heart is so encouraged when I read God's Word, and memorize and recite those words. Psalm 119:11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, that I might not sin against You.
When I receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, God gave me this word: ,,For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Philippians 1:21 KJV This is God, he is perfect and holy ! Glory to God!!!
2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come. Isaiah 65:16 “Because he who is blessed in the earth Will be blessed by the God of truth; And he who swears in the earth Will swear by the God of truth; Because the former troubles are forgotten, And because they are hidden from My sight! Galatians 4:3-5 So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world. But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. Colossians 1:13-14 For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. Isaiah 43:18 “Do not call to mind the former things, Or ponder things of the past. Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Whoever is being tormented and reminded of his past. Listen when the devil reminds you of your PAST remind him of his FUTURE in the abyss. On my youtube channel i was reminded of my past but i kept my eyes of Jesus
Brother Ray Comfort and Living Waters ministry videos teaching biblical context. AMEN 🙏 ❤️. Atheism ain't got nothing new or better to offer than the very religious beliefs it's critical of so it's hypocrisy at it's finest 😂. Hello this is for all you Atheists, unbelievers and skeptics. I'm going to address a few misconceptions and lies about God's Character and His Word. The Bible doesn't support chattel slavery or anything else Immoral. Ok so Atheists and unbelievers say God is either Immoral, incompetent or not responsible so let's see what The Scriptures actually say. God revealed himself and created a nation in a real, historical context. It was a world with a slave-based economy, with city states often at war with each other, with polygamous marriages to ensure the continuation of family lines. The laws of the Old Testament regulate this behaviour. Slaves are to be treated humanely (Exodus 21:11). They are given rights and not seen as mere possessions. Hebrew slaves were able to buy their own freedom. Human trafficking is condemned (Exodus 21:16). In contrast to the law code of Babylon, Old Testament Israel was a light to the nations. The Old Testament law and narratives do not stand alone. Jesus is now the best example of what we read. So the moral teaching of the Bible cannot be summarised by a quote taken out of context from the Old Testament to demonize God and His Word. Slavery was permitted in Old Testament law but it was regulated by God giving the Israelites instructions on how to fairly and humanely treat their slaves (it was like indentured servitude where someone could work for you if they owed debts or needed income not cruel like chattel slavery). God allowed the people of Israel to own slaves since they themselves has already experienced over 400 years of generations of Egyptian slavery and knew how inhumane it was to be beaten, overworked and taxed so God set them apart from other nations and cultures around them by giving them a fair way to treat their slaves since slavery had already existed in the world but it doesn't mean God condoned it just used it for His Will to bring Good And in the light of the whole scriptural teaching, we find the reasons for its ultimate abolition (Ephesians 6:9; Colossians 4:1-3; Philemon 15-16 and Galatians 3:28). The Word of God provided the moral standard against slavery in the Roman Empire and against the slave trade in the New World. But what of genocide or holy war in the book of Joshua? Several things could be pointed out. The use of warfare in the ancient world did not always mean literal total destruction, even when events are described in such terms. Furthermore, the book of Joshua does not describe a genocide. It is not a race who are being wiped out, as in genocide, but a religious practice which was often appalling and degrading. Those who repent (like Rahab from Jericho or Ruth) are not destroyed but become part of Israel. It is not the racial group that is in view but their "detestable practices". However, after all is said, we must still acknowledge that God brought judgment on the nations of Canaan. It is not our place as believers isn't to sugar-coat the Bible. For some skeptics, this is enough to make God a moral monster. But the fact is that Jesus continued to affirm that God is a Judge who will bring a future judgment on all peoples and all nations. God’s judgment will be just. The list of Old Testament stories rejected by critics often leads to a similar dismissal of the New Testament teaching of Jesus on the existence of hell. After all, what was the Flood of Genesis or the conquest of Joshua if not a glimpse of future judgment? Hell does not demonstrate cruelty on God’s part, but it does demonstrate His Holiness and our moral accountability. Perhaps this is the real reason many people rail against the God of the Bible? It is not that they think He is a moral monster, but that they are afraid He is a moral Judge, and that has implications for our behaviour now. God is an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being and we as His creatures have Eternal souls and spirits so the punishment for our sins against Him must therefore also be Eternal but so must the reward for righteousness that's why He sent His Son Jesus to live a perfectly righteous and sinless Life (which none of us could ever possibly expect to do) suffer the humiliating and torturous death of crucifixion to shed His Own Blood willingly so that all who willingly accept His gift of salvation by grace through faith in Him will be saved and given Eternal life because that's what God wants is for us to willingly accept His gift of salvation and choose life. Exodus 21:20-21 literally speaks about capital punishment befalling anyone who mistreats their slaves so yes people are taking Scripture out of context to demonize God who literally promises that slaves who are mistreated under someone else's authority is to be avenged. When we hear the word “slavery” we think of innocent human beings, kept prisoner for life, having no rights under law and so reduced to animals. This is clearly immoral because it is unjust: the slave has done nothing to deserve the treatment. The situation described as “slavery” in the Bible was nothing like this. It is more accurately described as one of indentured servitude. Many “slaves” were indentured servants, working for a term of years Some other “slaves” were prisoners. There were no prisons. Prisoners had to work to live like everyone else. Some had life sentences. Some served a term and were released. People didn't beat their good slaves but treated them well and protected their assets thus. But no matter how rebellious a slave was, you couldn't just beat them to death. And if you knocked out their tooth or damaged their eye then you had to set them free. (Exodus 21:26). God wasn't using what other nations did because He wanted to set His Chosen People of Israel apart from the cruel, inhumane and unjust systems other cultures had so He gave them a fair way to treat their slaves and servants. There is a lot of ignorance on this topic which is understandable given the age we live in but it's not the nefarious set up we think of when we think of modern slavery. The question Atheists must ask themselves is how come the Jews aren't being accused of slavery and human trafficking if they're guilty of it in The Bible and why would white slave owners rip out pages from The Old and New Testament Scriptures to justify their owning blacks as slaves if The Bible already justified slavery?
"I went outside and everything looked different." EXACTLY the way it feels when God grants us repentance unto life! I remember it exactly the moment my eyes were opened and we see God's creation for the first time how it was meant to be viewed- In worship.
God pursued Ray the same way He pursued me...He made me think of death and the futility of all we do. Praise Jesus. Eternal life with the Lord is indeed a priceless gift. Thank you Mr. Comfort for these videos. They have helped me a ton in spreading the word. Our good and faithful God continue to strengthen you and your team.
Thank you Ray for opening up to us about your personal life. Showing that you were truly like "us" (sinners), gives us all a better understanding of why you do this in the first place. Death is sure, yet so many people focus on life. "To live", they say. But death is everlasting and Heaven or Hell is permanent.
Make sure you are not self deceived. I was for 20 years. Trusting in what I knew rather than who I knew... knowing Jesus! Jesus said to believe in God, believe also in Him...why? Because He is God! Have you ever asked for Jesus to give you His Spirit? No one can EVER do the Christian Life without His Holy Spirit living inside of them. If you think you are a Christian and have never asked Him to give you His power to do it, then it's nothing more than pride and self deceit. Jesus said that if you ask Him for the Holy Spirit, He WILL give it to you! The Spirit is love, joy, peace and the evidence of our salvation! It is how we KNOW we are saved. Please examine yourself and ask God to show you if you are not truly forgiven for your sins through His death and resurrection. It is by His grace and nothing else, not even our upbringing, that saves us. It's all glory to Jesus!
Hearing the gospel of Jesus, as believer, is always so refreshing to me. We all have sin even as believers and sometimes we can get so comfortable with life and our circumstances and then pride can arise because you think you’ve got it all figured out but hearing the gospel always brings me back to a place of joy and grace and mercy in the Lord and reminds me of who He is and who I truly am. Praise God for His faithfulness and yours Ray and Living waters for yours. Also, just purchased you all’s evidence Bible book and I’m excited to get into it. When evangelizing I tend to get tripped up by the questions people have or the intellectual conversations we have while sharing but I’m encouraged to see how you can stay on track in sharing because I personally tend to want to answer all their questions. So grateful for the Living Waters team because Christ truly is the Living Water. What a great name for the Lords channel!!!!!!!
The way I became a true Christian was when I watched this documentary a few years back called is genesis history. It got me thinking about the age of the earth because I was told all my years that the universe was billions of years old. But it was clearly demonstrated that it couldn’t be. Then somehow I stumbled across Kent hovind. I watched all of his stuff and was enlightened for the wisdom. But I wasn’t satisfied bc he didn’t talk to much about the gospel. Then I started researching the Bible and finding out how the stories in it weren’t just stories they were true. I came across living waters when I randomly searched “10 scientific facts in the Bible.” Their video immediately came up and I was hooked ever since. I’ve watched almost every video. I’m a Huge fan keep. I give ray my respects
I cry every time I see Ray comfort. Even if he isn't saying anything major or speaking the gospel. I just weep with joy for the love he has for God. He truly loves our Father and he is a good servant. Jesus will say the words, "Well done my faithful servant" It just inspires me to look at Christ and keep my eyes there and nowhere else.
Ray, as I weep while writing this, I am so very grateful for your testimony and transparency. If no one is encouraged by your work please know that I am. I love you sir and I really needed to watch this today. Thank again and may our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ the Righteous give you long life and full of days. I love you sir.
I think he also shared that, because the main reason nonbelievers say they don't go to church because it's so boring. Churches need to take this into account. Surely, some of this reported boredom is because the Word isn't alive to them. But mostly it's because so many pastors are not alive themselves...properly conveying the excitement of being saved and living in the kingdom...not through gimmicks or hype, but by shining brightly and not being dull.
Thank God for that person who brought the Gospel to Ray. Think about how many people’s lives got touched by Ray! because of his obedience to share it with Ray! You never know what influence you will have with who. Please just share JESUS with whoever we meet. God bless us with boldness. Thank you Ray for working hard for the Kingdom. I want to become like you!
Death really is the great leveller. For so many fear of death and futility of life can open their willingness to receive the gospel. Then death holds no fear and life is joyous and beautiful.
Ray said of the young christian guy that led him to the Lord "he didn't really know what he was doing" yet he stayed with Ray 6 hours to lead him to Christ. I think that young man knew more than Ray thinks. It is not what we know but WHO we know. Glad you received the love of the truth Ray.
My friend passed last Saturday, last thing I said to her was "I'll catch up soon and are you still reading your bible" she said yes. We never know when death will come for us, we are fortunate to know about Jesus and repentance and his blood.
Winning souls for the LORD. Glad you answered the calling Brother Comfort! Lord willing we can all set aside our sins in order to preach the way you do.
@@nickgagnon3626 I dont find him rude at all, i find it very good that hes attacking the evil inside of people. You can tell whos prideful and who isnt.
Hi there...no matter what happens in the world "Our times are in His hands" People have a false sense of security here in NZ as no coronavirus cases announced yet....."hope for the best, but prepare for the worst" Blessings....
_Woaah, I forgot this was just a __5:29__minute video. This video was long to me, and I wanted it to be long, because I was really enjoying the video; but it's short._ 😂😅😲 _Ray comfort really inspires me; he is a great example for us. God bless to all the people that teach about God outdoors._ 🥺😇☺
Clarity for my faith at its best. GO RAY! Keep sharing n preaching and doing what u needed to and only you could! God bless your gently awakening soul for others :) thank God and hope u see this! Be encouraged no matter what; stay perfect in ur logic n belief 😇🥰😋🤗😃😀😃👌💯
I've been following you from the beginning and will continue to follow your ministry till the end. Thank God he put you in my life. I dont think you realize how much you mean to us. May God continue to bless you Ray! And, thanks so much for your crew!
You tell him PineCreek. That Hell thing is the biggest flaw in his argument. I want no part of a Monster-God that tortures His own creations for Eternity.
thenowchurch I don't think you understand PineCreek's comment. The only reason Jesus came is because there is a hell, otherwise why did He go to the cross. Jesus earthly mission only makes sense because there is indeed a hell and without Him we are all destined for it.
Hell makes sense of the cross because without Jesus, Hell is the only alternative. If Christianity is true, it’s not a case of “I didn’t ask to be created, and now that I am, and reject your God, I will be tortured for eternity?” The scenario is that you are created and desire it. You didn’t ask for it? Of course you did & do everyday! Every time you watch pornography, do drugs, have sex outside of marriage, and in other words, sin, you make a choice, not as a result of why you were created, but opt instead for your deviation from that purpose. God knew those who choose would decide on Hell, and He doesn’t send anyone there. They choose it. Heaven would be Hell for someone who hates God because they want to serve their own selves; after all, they prove it after spending their entire lives running away from Him. In the end, He loves you too much to force you into His presence. It’s either one of two choices you have, but the good work was never in your hands; if Christianity is true, bypassing apologetics for the Bible in this particular comment, simply IF it’s true, it says that if you seek God, you will find Him. So, please understand that you are created for a purpose, and it’s to know God & be privileged with the exciting but God-sovereign act to make Him known through your life and thrive together in His family of “Christians,” the adopted children who asked for a Father & Home. Regardless of the evidence, why wouldn’t you want Christianity to be true? Hell is torture of our own device; it’s only locked from the inside. We assume nobody wants to go there and all want to go to Heaven, but the eternal torment is that of a soul created in the image of God that He sovereignty provided every necessary opportunity for them to repent & receive grace, but they altogether vowed, “I will never accept you.”
God is God and he will reveal himself once you seek him... I'm dealing with the toughest time of my life and I'm seeking him in expectance ...I believe he will answer me clear enough for me to not doubt
Thanks Ray, I was reminded of this as you spoke, "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death." (Rev 12:11)
Please pray the Lords hand will heal, bless me and give me my hearts desire. It’s been a long time and a lot of suffering. I’m ready to move on. To a new chapter of my life
Amen! Thank you for sharing your story your testimony with us. Never gets old hearing about ones conversion. Ray, know this, you have been such a blessing to me, and I appreciate you in my heart. God please continue blessing us with your goodness.
Ray Comfort's story is so inspiring. Just God's hand in work. So beautiful. 2nd time to have watched this and ill go back over and over when I just want to be inspired.
Thank you for sharing your past Ray, it is quite a thing when you get born again I remember I had such a profound sense of joy when God granted me repentance unto life back in December 2018. Before then I saw my sins and become convicted by the Holy Ghost after discovering I needed to be convicted of my sin and come guilty before God so that I may receive pardon through Christ, I have since done a lot of repenting while struggling against sin I have come to be convinced that I am truly born again after learning to people who are lost sin is just normal to them, and on top of that there is no warring with their members at all. Now thanks be to God I am heading in the right direction and sin is now starting to lose its power on me, I remember very well that our Lord Jesus Christ went through so many horrible things just to free sinners like us from the error of our ways. I even identify with brother in Christ Paul the apostle with calling myself chief of sinners, remembering what he wrote being moved by the Holy Ghost writing 1 Timothy 1:15. And God really is close to the brokenhearted I know what it is like to be brokenhearted after I was literally and emotionally shattered by the loss of the family I grew up in for 25 years after I was adopted by them following a divorce in the family I was born into when I was just 2 years old they were originally my grandparents before I lived with them 25 years later I lost both of them to dying my mom was the first to go dying on September 20 2017 and my dad died the next day on the 21 of September that same year, I was never the same after for a while I still abided in sin, and eventually I started to get interested in the gospel of Christ. And was at first deceived by a watered down gospel of the word called antinomianism and had a head knowledge at first that came to change after I discovered that critical piece of information of the need to be convicted of sin which is a necessary step to take in repentance to receive pardon along with 2 other steps of being awakened to your lost condition and see yourself as a poor helpless sinner guilty and condemned in the eyes of the Holy God who created you, that I always now believe when the sinner takes those steps in repentance after the holy law of God exposes them to the truth is to get them to take that leap of faith and receive Christ Jesus and latch on to Him to be justified and be made righteous by His righteousness being imputed to them. I also believe when that is said and done when the law of God comes it is to get the awakened sinner to deny self and take up their cross and follow Christ all the way to Calvary and have all of their sins blotted out and washed away by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, allowing the sinner to have the strength to repent of sin and turn away from their sins and bring forth fruits meet for repentance. While I am not absolutely perfect yet I am glad God has given me the strength to be able to turn away from my iniquities, I am also now understanding the Holy Scriptures now which after this long growth process of repentance and faith, and the lessons I have learned since everything, it really is true that if any man be in Christ he is a new creature, old things are passed away all things have become new. I have practically grown sick tired and fed up with sin.
Amen Tony. When I got saved my heart broke for the things that break God's heart. The song Hosanna God really used big time! Lyrics: "Heal my heart and make it clean, open up my eyes to the things unseen, show me how to love the way You love me, break my heart for what breaks Yours, everything I am for Your kingdom's cause, as I walk from Earth into Eternity." Amen! Still and Forever! 📖 ⛪
Well said Tony. It seems antinomianism is a plague these days, perhaps partly in answer to legalism, perhaps partly due to wanting to 'have cake and eat it too.' Without a broken and contrite heart we can't actually come to the cross with empty hands fully relying and trusting in the completed work of Jesus on the cross for our salvation. Without repentance we can't hate sin the way God hates sin and be grieved when we sin against our Father, nor can we see how incredibly precious 2 Corinthians 5:21 truly is until we stop excusing ourselves or patting ourselves on the back for our "good deeds," and confess our sins and need for a Savior. I'll never forget the moment I was broken and utterly grieved before God for my sins against Him. This is significant because I was born and raised in a Christian household and had committed "lesser sins," so to speak and although I knew I was a sinner and needed a Savior, I didn't realize I had been, in a way, proud of my "clean" track record. Until one day our merciful Father showed me I'm not as clean as I thought I was. We can't see how precious the blood of Christ is until we see how defiled we are. And yet He loved us anyway and sent His Son. Why me? Why us? Amazing grace. It is so refreshing to see the humble heart of a brother in Christ. Thank you for sharing. Luke 18: 9 Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men-extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ 13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
@@marjieyoung9570 Yep antinomianism certainly is a plague Marjie, along with legalism both of them are both wrong. You are right Marjie we cannot fully trust and rely on the finished work of Christ on the cross for salvation, without a broken and contrite heart. I admit the things that I went through since the tragedy of losing my mom and dad that drove me the cross of Christ, they were some of the worst things I ever went through including what I went through all of 2019, it really is Amazing Grace indeed that the LORD God Almighty Himself would have mercy on sinners like us. Your welcome glad to share this with you, it is a powerful testimony when I think about it glad our Heavenly Father showed you the truth, it is true we are not clean before we are converted by God. What we are before God gives us the new birth we are 100 percent a child of the devil and enemy of God and an enemy of all righteousness. I remember by December 11 2018 just how scared I was knowing what would have happened to me, if I did not get born again and God alone can give that new birth. I also firmly believe that if you are born again you are going to do far more repenting than you ever did and of course you will continuing believing having faith in God, and in our Lord Jesus Christ. In the end thanks be to God that He laid us low, and humbled us.
@@tonyshumway7652 Amen. It's an on-going process of sanctification. God is faithful and we know it is He who keeps us and sanctifies us, both initially and progressively. I once heard a pastor say it was a mercy of God that He reveals to us our sins over time because it would be so incredibly painful to become fully aware of our sins all at once. We become more Christ-like throughout our Christian walk until we are glorified in Heaven and no longer live in these fallen bodies. At the same time we are justified by the blood of Jesus as His righteousness is credited to us and our sins were nailed to the cross with Him. Until then we continually repent as we sin, though we do not wish to sin, and we are shown sin in our lives by God we weren't even aware of. We look forward to that day we will be with our Father.
That will be such a great day to look forward to, when Glorification happens for us who are born again and sanctified by Him. While I know I am not absolutely perfect, but with God in His time will terms and His power I will press on to the mark of the high calling in my beloved precious Savior Jesus Christ. I also believe now we who are born again, can have Jesus Christ as everything He is to the regenerate believer Savior, Lord, King, High Priest, Judge, Creator, Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, the Light of the world, and everything else especially the Good Shepherd.
God has used Ray’s ministry in so many ways for both me and my husband. Such an honest story of how God can change one’s life. Thank you to all that you do @livingwaters and God bless you.
My brother just received Christ about 9 months ago. He died 2 weeks ago. Our last conversation was filled with Praise to God, Thankfulness, and bittersweet, but Joyful tears. He had an almost Palpable Peace and was looking forward to leaving this world and his pain racked body, and being with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I said, "I'm not saying goodbye, I'm saying, I'll see you soon"! He said, " Yep, I'll see you soon "! Jesus Christ is risen and ALIVE! THAT'S the difference between EVERY other "Religion", and TRUE Christianity. It is a Genuine RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST!
This made me praise God!
Hallelujah! 🕊
Amen!
Praise God you can know with certainty you will see your brother again! I'm praying my brothers will find and make that same choice. God Bless You.
Hallelujah!
This shows that you don’t need any crazy backstories or experiences to have a great testimony. Thank you God for opening Ray’s eyes
Danny Qin Sometimes it happens that way though. Everyone’s testimony is different. Some people are going to have so called “crazy back stories” because that’s the life they had, some due to no fault of their own. People have been molested, raped, watched parents murdered, been selling drugs at as young as 8 years old because their parents put them out there, grew up in foster care so had to fend for themselves and sibling at 13 years old so had to sell drugs because too young to get a job and needed to survive, beaten and abused, Etc! So it would be nice if it was that cut and dry, but it’s not. Luke 7:42-43:
40 And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
41 There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
43 Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
Some people like myself have those kinds of stories (mine were none of the above - I graduated from college at 22, worked , no clubs, bars, fee friends, however I was wicked in my heart and didn’t realize how dirty I was. Full of pride, fornicating, including sex with other women , etc. I got saved and was sooooo on fire for God. My cousin who says she was saved at 7, and who
Took me to the church where I got saved was not on fire for God. She was a virgin when she married, never touched alcohol in her life, obedient to parents. So wholesome and perfect. So when I got saved I had did so much that I loved God so much because he had forgiven me for so much . She doesn’t really have a testimony. And we overcome the devil by the word of our testimony. I’m
Not saying go out and do crazy stuff for a testimony cause that’s just dumb 😂😂😂. I wish everyone testimony was like rays because that would save people a lot of heart ache, but IJS it’s rare and it’s ok if it’s not like his. It’s not how we start - but finish.
All testimonies are good
did you know that only sinners go to heaven?
Agreed... thats the truth. Each of us need to stand in our testimony. Because irregardless of what we face, each of us MUST go before the gathe5r and give an account. Hard life or not.
Its not a competition of whose had it worse ( which i used to feel because my testimony didnt always feel dramatic and dark).
If one dies lost and without christ.. thats a tragedy. All that living on earth... and missing the creator.... thats a truly saddening testimony or account of someones life.
@@IsraelCountryCube i know that, I was making a joke. Even moses and abraham were sinners.
Tomorrow’s not promised to anybody! Get right with God today! Thank you Jesus!

Please pray for my unsaved family of origin to accept Jesus Christ, as their personal Lord and Savior.
God bless you. Amen
Ray Comfort explains the gospel so well, that even a simpleton like me can understand.
I was lost for many years, falsely believing "I'm a good guy. I'll be fine." Pretending God did not mind, so that I could continue down my destructive path. He did mind, though, and thankfully did not give up on me. God will get our attention when He decides to do it, and it is wise to not ignore Him. I ignored Him for a long time. I am so thankful He did not give up on me. We will never be perfect. That's where the cross intervenes for us. God wants a relationship. He deserves it. Repent brothers and sisters, and allow Jesus into your hearts. As Billy Graham once said, "I've never known a man who came to Christ and ever regretted it."
Thank you
Amen
And continue praying for us lonely guys in the same basket you once experienced.

Being of salt and light, a Christian, is certainly not easy. My family and friends look and treat me differently. Sin, is a everyday struggle and the great escape that you hope and pray to divide from, to divorce. So that you might marry the bride. I hate this flesh. This life is most depressing and unsatisfying. I put all my hope in you Jesus. I wait humbly to be united with you in the kingdom of heaven.

I can see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice that Ray really loves people. I can see the love of Christ through him.
“Faith comes by hearing the word “❤️
Alexandra Michelle what does that mean? I have to read the Bible to have faith in God?
Every time I hear Ray's testimony tears well up in my eyes because that was me - As a young boy growing up in Orange, California I thought to myself, "My thoughts are my own and nobody knows what I'm thinking." Then, much later in life when I read Jesus' words regarding adultery of the heart, I was undone in my spirit and knew that I was on my way to eternal judgment and I needed saving. I repented of my sin with godly sorrow and trusted in Christ completely. Thank God for His Word that will never pass away. My heart is so encouraged when I read God's Word, and memorize and recite those words. Psalm 119:11 Your word I have hidden in my heart,
that I might not sin against You.
When I receive Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior, God gave me this word: ,,For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."
Philippians 1:21 KJV
This is God, he is perfect and holy ! Glory to God!!!
I hate my past, still torments me, help me Jesus
2 Corinthians 5:17
Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.
Isaiah 65:16
“Because he who is blessed in the earth
Will be blessed by the God of truth;
And he who swears in the earth
Will swear by the God of truth;
Because the former troubles are forgotten,
And because they are hidden from My sight!
Galatians 4:3-5
So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world. But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law, so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
Colossians 1:13-14
For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
Isaiah 43:18
“Do not call to mind the former things,
Or ponder things of the past.
Philippians 3:13-14
Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Praying for you? How are you doing now????? Jesus and therapy can help
Whoever is being tormented and reminded of his past. Listen when the devil reminds you of your PAST remind him of his FUTURE in the abyss. On my youtube channel i was reminded of my past but i kept my eyes of Jesus
We just studied The Book of Revelation in my Bible study group today.

Well sometimes even the lord will remind us of something so we can be aware of something we’re doing wrong.
Brother Ray Comfort and Living Waters ministry videos teaching biblical context. AMEN 🙏 ❤️. Atheism ain't got nothing new or better to offer than the very religious beliefs it's critical of so it's hypocrisy at it's finest 😂. Hello this is for all you Atheists, unbelievers and skeptics. I'm going to address a few misconceptions and lies about God's Character and His Word. The Bible doesn't support chattel slavery or anything else Immoral. Ok so Atheists and unbelievers say God is either Immoral, incompetent or not responsible so let's see what The Scriptures actually say. God revealed himself and created a nation in a real, historical context. It was a world with a slave-based economy, with city states often at war with each other, with polygamous marriages to ensure the continuation of family lines. The laws of the Old Testament regulate this behaviour. Slaves are to be treated humanely (Exodus 21:11). They are given rights and not seen as mere possessions. Hebrew slaves were able to buy their own freedom. Human trafficking is condemned (Exodus 21:16). In contrast to the law code of Babylon, Old Testament Israel was a light to the nations. The Old Testament law and narratives do not stand alone. Jesus is now the best example of what we read. So the moral teaching of the Bible cannot be summarised by a quote taken out of context from the Old Testament to demonize God and His Word. Slavery was permitted in Old Testament law but it was regulated by God giving the Israelites instructions on how to fairly and humanely treat their slaves (it was like indentured servitude where someone could work for you if they owed debts or needed income not cruel like chattel slavery). God allowed the people of Israel to own slaves since they themselves has already experienced over 400 years of generations of Egyptian slavery and knew how inhumane it was to be beaten, overworked and taxed so God set them apart from other nations and cultures around them by giving them a fair way to treat their slaves since slavery had already existed in the world but it doesn't mean God condoned it just used it for His Will to bring Good And in the light of the whole scriptural teaching, we find the reasons for its ultimate abolition (Ephesians 6:9; Colossians 4:1-3; Philemon 15-16 and Galatians 3:28). The Word of God provided the moral standard against slavery in the Roman Empire and against the slave trade in the New World.
But what of genocide or holy war in the book of Joshua? Several things could be pointed out. The use of warfare in the ancient world did not always mean literal total destruction, even when events are described in such terms. Furthermore, the book of Joshua does not describe a genocide. It is not a race who are being wiped out, as in genocide, but a religious practice which was often appalling and degrading. Those who repent (like Rahab from Jericho or Ruth) are not destroyed but become part of Israel. It is not the racial group that is in view but their "detestable practices".
However, after all is said, we must still acknowledge that God brought judgment on the nations of Canaan. It is not our place as believers isn't to sugar-coat the Bible. For some skeptics, this is enough to make God a moral monster. But the fact is that Jesus continued to affirm that God is a Judge who will bring a future judgment on all peoples and all nations. God’s judgment will be just. The list of Old Testament stories rejected by critics often leads to a similar dismissal of the New Testament teaching of Jesus on the existence of hell.
After all, what was the Flood of Genesis or the conquest of Joshua if not a glimpse of future judgment? Hell does not demonstrate cruelty on God’s part, but it does demonstrate His Holiness and our moral accountability. Perhaps this is the real reason many people rail against the God of the Bible? It is not that they think He is a moral monster, but that they are afraid He is a moral Judge, and that has implications for our behaviour now. God is an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being and we as His creatures have Eternal souls and spirits so the punishment for our sins against Him must therefore also be Eternal but so must the reward for righteousness that's why He sent His Son Jesus to live a perfectly righteous and sinless Life (which none of us could ever possibly expect to do) suffer the humiliating and torturous death of crucifixion to shed His Own Blood willingly so that all who willingly accept His gift of salvation by grace through faith in Him will be saved and given Eternal life because that's what God wants is for us to willingly accept His gift of salvation and choose life. Exodus 21:20-21 literally speaks about capital punishment befalling anyone who mistreats their slaves so yes people are taking Scripture out of context to demonize God who literally promises that slaves who are mistreated under someone else's authority is to be avenged. When we hear the word “slavery” we think of innocent human beings, kept prisoner for life, having no rights under law and so reduced to animals. This is clearly immoral because it is unjust: the slave has done nothing to deserve the treatment.
The situation described as “slavery” in the Bible was nothing like this. It is more accurately described as one of indentured servitude. Many “slaves” were indentured servants, working for a term of years
Some other “slaves” were prisoners. There were no prisons. Prisoners had to work to live like everyone else. Some had life sentences. Some served a term and were released.
People didn't beat their good slaves but treated them well and protected their assets thus.
But no matter how rebellious a slave was, you couldn't just beat them to death. And if you knocked out their tooth or damaged their eye then you had to set them free. (Exodus 21:26). God wasn't using what other nations did because He wanted to set His Chosen People of Israel apart from the cruel, inhumane and unjust systems other cultures had so He gave them a fair way to treat their slaves and servants.
There is a lot of ignorance on this topic which is understandable given the age we live in but it's not the nefarious set up we think of when we think of modern slavery. The question Atheists must ask themselves is how come the Jews aren't being accused of slavery and human trafficking if they're guilty of it in The Bible and why would white slave owners rip out pages from The Old and New Testament Scriptures to justify their owning blacks as slaves if The Bible already justified slavery?
"I went outside and everything looked different." EXACTLY the way it feels when God grants us repentance unto life! I remember it exactly the moment my eyes were opened and we see God's creation for the first time how it was meant to be viewed- In worship.
God pursued Ray the same way He pursued me...He made me think of death and the futility of all we do. Praise Jesus. Eternal life with the Lord is indeed a priceless gift. Thank you Mr. Comfort for these videos. They have helped me a ton in spreading the word. Our good and faithful God continue to strengthen you and your team.
Amen, every true Christian believer in Jesus Christ has a testimony for him (God)
Thank you Ray for opening up to us about your personal life. Showing that you were truly like "us" (sinners), gives us all a better understanding of why you do this in the first place. Death is sure, yet so many people focus on life. "To live", they say. But death is everlasting and Heaven or Hell is permanent.
Ray, you are a blessing to more people than you'll ever know this side of eternity. The Lord is so good!
I'm barely 20 and this somehow gives me a bit of hope to grow old and go with Jesus.
I love Ray Comfort.
Thank you for all you do. Love you in the Lord much.

Thank you for your faithfulness to Jesus may God continue strengthening and a protecting you!!
wow God bless you ray. I came to the Lord by learning all the lies of this world we live in, evolution and atheism.
Ive been a Christian all my life. Im 22 years old. But, ive never had an experience like you speak of. That kind of terrifies me.
Make sure you are not self deceived. I was for 20 years. Trusting in what I knew rather than who I knew... knowing Jesus! Jesus said to believe in God, believe also in Him...why? Because He is God! Have you ever asked for Jesus to give you His Spirit? No one can EVER do the Christian Life without His Holy Spirit living inside of them. If you think you are a Christian and have never asked Him to give you His power to do it, then it's nothing more than pride and self deceit. Jesus said that if you ask Him for the Holy Spirit, He WILL give it to you! The Spirit is love, joy, peace and the evidence of our salvation! It is how we KNOW we are saved. Please examine yourself and ask God to show you if you are not truly forgiven for your sins through His death and resurrection. It is by His grace and nothing else, not even our upbringing, that saves us. It's all glory to Jesus!
Hearing the gospel of Jesus, as believer, is always so refreshing to me. We all have sin even as believers and sometimes we can get so comfortable with life and our circumstances and then pride can arise because you think you’ve got it all figured out but hearing the gospel always brings me back to a place of joy and grace and mercy in the Lord and reminds me of who He is and who I truly am. Praise God for His faithfulness and yours Ray and Living waters for yours. Also, just purchased you all’s evidence Bible book and I’m excited to get into it. When evangelizing I tend to get tripped up by the questions people have or the intellectual conversations we have while sharing but I’m encouraged to see how you can stay on track in sharing because I personally tend to want to answer all their questions. So grateful for the Living Waters team because Christ truly is the Living Water. What a great name for the Lords channel!!!!!!!
Ray Comfort is one of the greatest evangelist of our generation! I hope the church sees it before he's gone
Hallelujah praise Jesus Christ

Great Testimony !
The way I became a true Christian was when I watched this documentary a few years back called is genesis history. It got me thinking about the age of the earth because I was told all my years that the universe was billions of years old. But it was clearly demonstrated that it couldn’t be. Then somehow I stumbled across Kent hovind. I watched all of his stuff and was enlightened for the wisdom. But I wasn’t satisfied bc he didn’t talk to much about the gospel. Then I started researching the Bible and finding out how the stories in it weren’t just stories they were true. I came across living waters when I randomly searched “10 scientific facts in the Bible.” Their video immediately came up and I was hooked ever since. I’ve watched almost every video. I’m a Huge fan keep. I give ray my respects
Jack G Jack. That’s wonderful! Thank you for sharing that. It’s very encouraging. God bless you, Ray Comfort
I'm really really sick. Pray for me please. Ray your a good ole boy.

Jesus will say the words, "Well done my faithful servant"
It just inspires me to look at Christ and keep my eyes there and nowhere else.
Praise God! Keep preaching, Ray. People are listening and they are hearing the message, and many are being saved! God bless you.

Jesus Christ is Lord!! Turn to Jesus Christ today!!
"If I cant sleep one night I'll get a preacher to come and talk to me" - Ray Comfort
Now look at what God has done in his life
I think he also shared that, because the main reason nonbelievers say they don't go to church because it's so boring. Churches need to take this into account. Surely, some of this reported boredom is because the Word isn't alive to them. But mostly it's because so many pastors are not alive themselves...properly conveying the excitement of being saved and living in the kingdom...not through gimmicks or hype, but by shining brightly and not being dull.
Because of my surroundings I struggle every day to walk with the Lord. However, I am getting stronger by the day.
Thank God for that person who brought the Gospel to Ray. Think about how many people’s lives got touched by Ray! because of his obedience to share it with Ray! You never know what influence you will have with who. Please just share JESUS with whoever we meet. God bless us with boldness. Thank you Ray for working hard for the Kingdom. I want to become like you!

Death really is the great leveller. For so many fear of death and futility of life can open their willingness to receive the gospel. Then death holds no fear and life is joyous and beautiful.
He never fails to insert the gospel in everything. It’s not about him to him. He has died to self. A blessed brother.
Praise the LORD! beautiful testimony! Glory to God!

You are truly a kind and coll guy Ray
Ray said of the young christian guy that led him to the Lord "he didn't really know what he was doing" yet he stayed with Ray 6 hours to lead him to Christ. I think that young man knew more than Ray thinks. It is not what we know but WHO we know. Glad you received the love of the truth Ray.
i believe a testimony is the greatest proof of christ
My brother I love to hear what our Heavenly Father has done to change you praise His mighty name !
a very refreshing glimpse @ Ray Comfort

"I'm going to end up in hell ... and that's when the cross made sense" Without hell there is no need for Jesus.
You tell him PineCreek.
That Hell thing is the biggest flaw in his argument.
I want no part of a Monster-God that tortures His own creations for Eternity.
@@thenowchurch6419 God tortures people because he is just and we have sinned and broken his rules so going to hell for not repenting is perfectly fair
thenowchurch I don't think you understand PineCreek's comment. The only reason Jesus came is because there is a hell, otherwise why did He go to the cross. Jesus earthly mission only makes sense because there is indeed a hell and without Him we are all destined for it.
Hell makes sense of the cross because without Jesus, Hell is the only alternative. If Christianity is true, it’s not a case of “I didn’t ask to be created, and now that I am, and reject your God, I will be tortured for eternity?” The scenario is that you are created and desire it. You didn’t ask for it? Of course you did & do everyday! Every time you watch pornography, do drugs, have sex outside of marriage, and in other words, sin, you make a choice, not as a result of why you were created, but opt instead for your deviation from that purpose. God knew those who choose would decide on Hell, and He doesn’t send anyone there. They choose it. Heaven would be Hell for someone who hates God because they want to serve their own selves; after all, they prove it after spending their entire lives running away from Him. In the end, He loves you too much to force you into His presence. It’s either one of two choices you have, but the good work was never in your hands; if Christianity is true, bypassing apologetics for the Bible in this particular comment, simply IF it’s true, it says that if you seek God, you will find Him. So, please understand that you are created for a purpose, and it’s to know God & be privileged with the exciting but God-sovereign act to make Him known through your life and thrive together in His family of “Christians,” the adopted children who asked for a Father & Home. Regardless of the evidence, why wouldn’t you want Christianity to be true? Hell is torture of our own device; it’s only locked from the inside. We assume nobody wants to go there and all want to go to Heaven, but the eternal torment is that of a soul created in the image of God that He sovereignty provided every necessary opportunity for them to repent & receive grace, but they altogether vowed, “I will never accept you.”
God is God and he will reveal himself once you seek him...
I'm dealing with the toughest time of my life and I'm seeking him in expectance ...I believe he will answer me clear enough for me to not doubt
Wow! First time I’ve heard Ray’s testimony. PRAISE JESUS!! ♥️🙌🏻

Ray Comfort's story is so inspiring. Just God's hand in work. So beautiful. 2nd time to have watched this and ill go back over and over when I just want to be inspired.
Thank you for sharing your past Ray, it is quite a thing when you get born again I remember I had such a profound sense of joy when God granted me repentance unto life back in December 2018. Before then I saw my sins and become convicted by the Holy Ghost after discovering I needed to be convicted of my sin and come guilty before God so that I may receive pardon through Christ, I have since done a lot of repenting while struggling against sin I have come to be convinced that I am truly born again after learning to people who are lost sin is just normal to them, and on top of that there is no warring with their members at all. Now thanks be to God I am heading in the right direction and sin is now starting to lose its power on me, I remember very well that our Lord Jesus Christ went through so many horrible things just to free sinners like us from the error of our ways. I even identify with brother in Christ Paul the apostle with calling myself chief of sinners, remembering what he wrote being moved by the Holy Ghost writing 1 Timothy 1:15. And God really is close to the brokenhearted I know what it is like to be brokenhearted after I was literally and emotionally shattered by the loss of the family I grew up in for 25 years after I was adopted by them following a divorce in the family I was born into when I was just 2 years old they were originally my grandparents before I lived with them 25 years later I lost both of them to dying my mom was the first to go dying on September 20 2017 and my dad died the next day on the 21 of September that same year, I was never the same after for a while I still abided in sin, and eventually I started to get interested in the gospel of Christ. And was at first deceived by a watered down gospel of the word called antinomianism and had a head knowledge at first that came to change after I discovered that critical piece of information of the need to be convicted of sin which is a necessary step to take in repentance to receive pardon along with 2 other steps of being awakened to your lost condition and see yourself as a poor helpless sinner guilty and condemned in the eyes of the Holy God who created you, that I always now believe when the sinner takes those steps in repentance after the holy law of God exposes them to the truth is to get them to take that leap of faith and receive Christ Jesus and latch on to Him to be justified and be made righteous by His righteousness being imputed to them. I also believe when that is said and done when the law of God comes it is to get the awakened sinner to deny self and take up their cross and follow Christ all the way to Calvary and have all of their sins blotted out and washed away by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, allowing the sinner to have the strength to repent of sin and turn away from their sins and bring forth fruits meet for repentance. While I am not absolutely perfect yet I am glad God has given me the strength to be able to turn away from my iniquities, I am also now understanding the Holy Scriptures now which after this long growth process of repentance and faith, and the lessons I have learned since everything, it really is true that if any man be in Christ he is a new creature, old things are passed away all things have become new. I have practically grown sick tired and fed up with sin.
Amen Tony. When I got saved my heart broke for the things that break God's heart. The song Hosanna God really used big time! Lyrics: "Heal my heart and make it clean, open up my eyes to the things unseen, show me how to love the way You love me, break my heart for what breaks Yours, everything I am for Your kingdom's cause, as I walk from Earth into Eternity." Amen! Still and Forever! 📖 ⛪
Well said Tony. It seems antinomianism is a plague these days, perhaps partly in answer to legalism, perhaps partly due to wanting to 'have cake and eat it too.' Without a broken and contrite heart we can't actually come to the cross with empty hands fully relying and trusting in the completed work of Jesus on the cross for our salvation. Without repentance we can't hate sin the way God hates sin and be grieved when we sin against our Father, nor can we see how incredibly precious 2 Corinthians 5:21 truly is until we stop excusing ourselves or patting ourselves on the back for our "good deeds," and confess our sins and need for a Savior. I'll never forget the moment I was broken and utterly grieved before God for my sins against Him. This is significant because I was born and raised in a Christian household and had committed "lesser sins," so to speak and although I knew I was a sinner and needed a Savior, I didn't realize I had been, in a way, proud of my "clean" track record. Until one day our merciful Father showed me I'm not as clean as I thought I was. We can't see how precious the blood of Christ is until we see how defiled we are. And yet He loved us anyway and sent His Son. Why me? Why us? Amazing grace. It is so refreshing to see the humble heart of a brother in Christ. Thank you for sharing.
Luke 18:
9 Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others: 10 “Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.11 The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, ‘God, I thank You that I am not like other men-extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.12 I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ 13 And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ 14 I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
@@marjieyoung9570 Yep antinomianism certainly is a plague Marjie, along with legalism both of them are both wrong. You are right Marjie we cannot fully trust and rely on the finished work of Christ on the cross for salvation, without a broken and contrite heart. I admit the things that I went through since the tragedy of losing my mom and dad that drove me the cross of Christ, they were some of the worst things I ever went through including what I went through all of 2019, it really is Amazing Grace indeed that the LORD God Almighty Himself would have mercy on sinners like us. Your welcome glad to share this with you, it is a powerful testimony when I think about it glad our Heavenly Father showed you the truth, it is true we are not clean before we are converted by God. What we are before God gives us the new birth we are 100 percent a child of the devil and enemy of God and an enemy of all righteousness. I remember by December 11 2018 just how scared I was knowing what would have happened to me, if I did not get born again and God alone can give that new birth. I also firmly believe that if you are born again you are going to do far more repenting than you ever did and of course you will continuing believing having faith in God, and in our Lord Jesus Christ. In the end thanks be to God that He laid us low, and humbled us.
@@tonyshumway7652 Amen. It's an on-going process of sanctification. God is faithful and we know it is He who keeps us and sanctifies us, both initially and progressively. I once heard a pastor say it was a mercy of God that He reveals to us our sins over time because it would be so incredibly painful to become fully aware of our sins all at once. We become more Christ-like throughout our Christian walk until we are glorified in Heaven and no longer live in these fallen bodies. At the same time we are justified by the blood of Jesus as His righteousness is credited to us and our sins were nailed to the cross with Him. Until then we continually repent as we sin, though we do not wish to sin, and we are shown sin in our lives by God we weren't even aware of. We look forward to that day we will be with our Father.
That will be such a great day to look forward to, when Glorification happens for us who are born again and sanctified by Him. While I know I am not absolutely perfect, but with God in His time will terms and His power I will press on to the mark of the high calling in my beloved precious Savior Jesus Christ. I also believe now we who are born again, can have Jesus Christ as everything He is to the regenerate believer Savior, Lord, King, High Priest, Judge, Creator, Wonderful, Counsellor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace, the Light of the world, and everything else especially the Good Shepherd.
