Sometimes we make salvation sound difficult to achieve.But Christ made it available for even a small child to understand.Have faith and trust in Christ. When you fall and you will many times in life ask His forgiveness. You cannot follow the law, it's impossible. But in your heart you will not want continuous sin in your life. Jesus have mercy on us all who are seeking Heaven.
You should not want ANY sin in your life, although yes it will happen. Ask for forgiveness, REPENT and follow the Law with guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Doesn't it say in the bible that His commands aren't grievous or a burden? There's a website that lists all of the sins (667 of them) in the bible and no one that's a Christian is supposed to be in unrepentant sin. I don't know if I could remember all of the sins to not be in sin.
The mass majority of mankind Decompose after ,"Death" Those that don't have put on Incorruption! They become "Sinless! Sin Is Transgression of The Law....Paul said" "Work out "YOUR OWN SALVATION WITh "FEAR AND TREMBLING..."FEAR OF"WHAT"..."SECOND DEATH"..Revelation 2:11 .For those That Decompose after Death Will Never Exist Again! Read Job Chapter 24, Psalms 49:13-15. We Know From The Book Of Matthew ..Strait is The Gate and Narrow is The Way That Leads to life And "FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT THAT LEADS TO ETERNAL LIFE! Follow The "Everlasting Covenant" Or Your a Dear Man! You Will "ROT in the Ground If You Don't Become Perfect! What Did God Tell Abraham "Walk Before Me And Be Thou Perfect! God Hates Human Desire!...Shalom
But, we are NOT judged by our faith, but we are judged according to our works that prove our claim of being in Christ > James 2:17-26 > Faith without works, is dead, does NOT exist! Matthew 16:27, Revelation 20:12,13 ❤
ALL I can say is this debate is one I dont take lightly for I do not want to find myself separated from Christ! ... That said, everytime I begin to doubt in my salvation being secured to the day of redemption, I never feel right either!! For I am a sinner! and unfortunately I still have fleshly desires and I know I fall short of the glory of God ... Anyway i can't think of anything more important, more critical than WHERE we spend eternity ... "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling!" ... PLEASE TELL ME AM I SAVED OR UNSAVED IF I STILL HAVE SIN IN MY LIFE?
Galatians 5:19-21 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
We'll trip and fall many times on our Journey to Glory . The very fact you feel sorry for you failings means you're hearing and responding to the Holy Spirit. Take heart in the blood of Christ , our only true avenue of salvation.
The walk of faith is like a ladder. Christ pulls us up 10 steps & our flesh drags us back down 9. The cycle repeats over & over. Good news, with each cycle we ARE 1 step higher. Its called sanctification. Its a work in progress. Only truly saved folks go through this.
"Enter ye in at the strait (NARROW gate): For wide is the gate, and BROAD is the way, that leadeth to DESTRUCTION, and MANY there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it!" MTTHEW 7:13 - 14! Praise God, I have been saved for 43 years now by believing and having faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ! How true of this pastor that believers have to STRIVE, for the narrow gate is not easy, but surely worth it!!!
Praise God wonderful messages he preaches.So true Enter ye in at the strait gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction ,and many there bewhich go in there at. Because strait is the gate and narrow is the way which leadeth to life eternal and few there be that find it Amen. Lord help us all to keep fighting the good fight of faith which leads to eternal life with the Lord in heaven Amen.It will be worth it all to see the Lord Jesus Christ our loved ones in Christ the angels the people we have helped come to the Lord to see meet all the hero's of the faith to meet new friends in Christ to see our beloved pets dogs animals again and other animals in heaven . The marriage supper of the lamb to rule and reign with Christ for a thousand years by God's grace mercy and help let's keep pressing on. Amen
you have been in the process, of salvation, for 43 years.....salvation, in the Bible comes in three gramatical tenses....past, present, and future.....he, that endures, til the end....shall.....be saved.....Mt 24.13
@@philipbuckley759 Jesus is not referring to the members of the body of Christ, for this, the dispensation of the grace of God (please see Ephesians 3:2 & Colossians 1:26) was still hidden (a mystery) until our risen Lord revealed it to our Apostle Paul, the apostle to the GENTILES (see Romans 16:25) We believers IN Christ during this dispensation of grace (see Ephesians 1:13) are SEALED by the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption! The Scriptures must be rightly divided! (See 2 Timothy 2:15).
Wow this hits home. Especially around 35th minute. I believe God has been talking to me about this. Even in dreams where I am unprepared for school, or I can't find my class, or the exam is coming up and I haven't studied, there has also been a repeating dream about driving without insurance. I haven't been listening. Please pray for me.
This sermon was, as per this my favorite of speakers, calling to me. Everytime I listen here I learn a new bit of Gods redeeming Grace. Am I at the door answering Jesus call, going in before the door closes. Forbid that I slumber & let my lamp go out so stumble to find the door closed. I want, more than ever, of all, to hear His wondrous voice calling me so I never lose my direction. The prayer was so perfect for my ears. He's calling us, we just need to answer that call right when we hear it. No excuses. No waiting. Just go, go, go!
How does a dead man choose life? Salvation is all from God and nothing from man. What does it mean when we say that God is sovereign in salvation? Charles H. Spurgeon has said it about as well as can be said by men: “First, then, DIVINE SOVEREIGNTY AS EXEMPLIFIED IN SALVATION. If any man be saved, he is saved by divine grace and by divine grace alone; the reason of his salvation is not to be found in him, but in God. We are not saved as the result of anything that we do or that we will, but we will and do as the result of God’s good pleasure and the work of His grace in our hearts. No sinner can prevent God; that is, he cannot go before Him, cannot anticipate Him. God is always first in the matter of salvation. He is before our convictions, before our desires, before our fears, and before our hopes. All that is good or ever will be good in us is preceded by the grace of God and is the effect of a divine cause within.” “Again, the grace of God is sovereign. By that we mean that God has an absolute right to give that grace where He chooses and to withhold it when He pleases. He is not bound to give it to any man, much less to all men; if He chooses to give it to one man and not to another, His answer is, ‘Is thine eye evil because mine eye is good? Can I not do as I will with mine own? I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.’” Scripture says the same thing, just as clearly and emphatically: 44 “No one can come to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day (John 6:44). 65 And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me, unless it has been granted him from the Father” (John 6:65).

@gigiis526 what you wrote doesn't seem to disagree with the sermon, but you have provided a good reminder. The sermon is emphasizing Christ's admonition to Seek, to drop every hindrance, to workout your salvation in fear in trembling, To sieze the day and each day for God's glory by walking in the good works he has prepared for us beforehand, all of which contributes to the experience of assurance for the believer, none of which is the sole means of salvation, salvation being the purview of God and Christ alone.
@William Rogers The Gospel is for everyone as Jesus died on the cross for the whole world (John 3:16). However, only those who choose to put their faith and trust in Him for salvation will be saved (John 3:18).
You must be born from above to enter the kingdom. What Jesus told Nicodemus. That is with the gift from God being baptized in the Holy Spirit. Like our natural birth we play no part in this. Thank you Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for this miracle. Total game changer. Grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. We will be rewarded accordingly in heaven due to our works. But works have nothing to do with salvation. The only works that bring salvation are the works of Jesus Christ on the cross. I boast in Christ alone. 🙏♥️🙏
Allister is one of the extremely, few very powerful teachers still living today that takes the word of God and surgically implants in our hearts and injecting the immense truths of that word into our minds. Praise the Lord for Allister Begg.
The verse Philippians 2:12- work out your salvation with trembling and fear has always reminded me of the ferocity of Elohims holiness. It rightfully scares me when i think of this verse. Yes saved, but do not take it for granted and think i can willfully sin.
ohno Does Jesus teach the truth or does man teach false doctrine mixed in with some truth? Resting in Christ is not the same as "taking it for granted". Does willful sin make us unborn ?
@@kimwestwood8840 Galatians 5:24 - And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Hebrews 10: 26-30 - For if we deliberately sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire about to consume the adversaries. 28 If anyone disregards Moses’ law, he dies without mercy, based on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment do you think one will deserve who has trampled on the Son of God, regarded as profane[a] the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know the One who has said, Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay, and again, The Lord will judge His people.
@@kimwestwood8840 Yes, I do. But I don't do it deliberately and I don't excuse it, I repent and get right back on track. And what I and another lady on here are talking about is not what some of you are trying to make it sound like. What we are saying is you can't walk with the Lord and think you can still live your old lifestyle living according to your own will. You mist be seeking God and letting His word transform your mind to see and live according to His will and not your own. And yes I am saved.
@@sylviacroft You sin but not deliberately? So you sin in ignorance while the rest of our brothers and sisters live inside the body of flesh that is sinful in nature and will admit they willfully sin at times? Hebrews 10 is usually misunderstood and used out of context to make a point. I will leave a link to a video that properly explains Hebrews 10. The problem is that if the permanent atonement of Jesus is not sufficient for willful sin we all will be doomed.. The new nature of every born again believer is the desire to please God, we have been chosen by Jesus to bear good fruit ( John 15). I think pretty much all will agree we don't live our old lifestyle after we are saved. But what we should know is exactly what Jesus teaches , that we can rest and be assured of our salvation according to His word in John 3 ( 4 times), John 6 ( twice), John 10 . I don't know who you mean by " some of you" , are we not brothers and sisters bought and paid for by the blood of Christ? We may differ on position of some doctrine but we are in the same family of God. Here is a teaching on Hebrews 10 :26 explained ua-cam.com/video/y82AFs78HKA/v-deo.html
In my 68 years my goal and fear has been the Narrow Road , but by God Grace I will Enter that Gate , Praise the Lord Jesus Christ and His Sacrifice for the sinner like me Amen 🙏
I am reminded, after not hearing of Pastor Begg, for many years, ot the annointing of his preaching. Very incisive and convincing. God Bless him and his family.
Full Gospel 1.Justification: Saved from the Penalty Of Sin: Entered the Small Gate Of Truth 2. Sanctification: Being Saved from the Power Of Sin: Walking the Narrow Way 3. Glorification: Will be Saved from the Presence Of Sin: Fulness Of Eternal Life
Gospel = Good news. This brings into it a great deal more. What you are stating deals with receiving forgiveness only. The amazing new life of all thet God has prepared for those who love Him goes far beyond the beginning. There is an eternity out there to rejoice over. Never mind the power we see daily on this earth. All of it fall into the category of the "good news".
that seems to be the OSAS view....because once one is justified.....there is no falling away.....salvation, according to the ones not believing in OSAS....say salvation, itself, is a lifelong process, and as such it can be lost.....such as...endure, till the end.... Matthew 24.13...he, who endures, till the end....shall.....future tense.....be saved....
Thank you Pastor Begg for sound doctrinal teaching. The Lord seeks each one and calls us to understand that we MUST set our minds on things above and look at our lives from God’s perspective and not be shaped by temporal thoughts 💭; Colossians 3.
I live in N.J.. However, for the last 25 years I always listen on a daily basis to Pastor Beggs messages. He always preaches the Word as it must be preached.
Glory Hallelujah, Jeff!!! "For by GRACE are ye saved through FAITH, and that NOT of yourselves; it (eternal salvation) is the GIFT OF GOD, NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast!" Ephesians 2:8 - 9 KJV! Jesus Christ, Son of God manifest in the flesh (please 1 Timothy 3:16 KJV) by the shedding of His blood as He died to pay for our sins on the cross, was buried and rose from the dead on the 3rd. day!!! One must repent, believe and get saved eternally!!!
@@jayonnaj18 this all looks perfect except repent which most have no clue about so this isn’t directed to you if if its not what u meant. The modern definition of repent has been changed to turning from our sins which we have no chance of. The first 7 of 8 repent verses in our kjv is the Lord. If anyone thinks their saved by a combination of the Jesus finished work on the cross paying for all sins past present and future but he needs you to quit sinning is not saved. Israel had to do this in the past because it was the law and they had sacrifice’s. Your sacrifice today is Jesus finished work and not understanding your dispensation and gospel today is not gonna be pretty when they die. Claiming the book of Hebrews or James and more for the body of Christ to justify your position is funny to those who understand their bible.
@@kevinboutwell2243 So are you saying Jesus doesn't care if you continue to live in sin? He paid an awful high price to give you the freedom to sin. Doesn't the Word of God say to "Come out from among them and touch not the unclean thing and I will be your God and you shall be my people? What about friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God. So when we pray and ask Jesus into our hearts we are assured of heaven and are free to not care that our sin is what killed Him in the first place? We have no responsibility to love Him enough to not continue to do things we did when we were still His enemy? If you're married, Kevin since you entered a covenant with your wife till death do you part, it's ok with you if she sleeps around? It's called adultery and that's what we do when we are not faithful to Him.
@@sylviacroft Hey sylvia it would help if you give some scripture. What I’m saying is if your salvation had anything to do with your not sinning then there’s nobody saved today. There’s not the slightest chance of you not sinning. Here’s what your doing. 1 Cor 15:1-4 the way we are saved today under the dispensation of grace is believing the gospel given to Paul which is we are saved if we believe Christ died for Sylvia’s sins was buried and rose again the third day. You don’t like this because you want the last say. Instead of just trusting what Jesus did as the finished work the modern day church and you make getting salvation by you asking Jesus to come into your heart. Without you giving the Lord your permission he can’t save you is what your religion believes. This is modern day religious doctrine started by satan. Let me put it another way. Jesus gave you a free gift that’s impossible for you to ever pay for. He gave Paul by revelation the dispensation of grace for us gentiles Eph3:1-10kjv and Rom 16:25-26 and how we are saved 1 Cor 15:1-4. Jesus told Paul this is how we are saved by believing what Jesus did. You don’t like this so your gonna pay $100/ask him to come into your heart as satan says so you don’t owe Jesus anything and you can brag for eternity about this work you did as in Eph 2:9. The reason you don’t understand salvation today is the religious systems from satan has combined Israels promises with the body of Christ. Read what Jesus gave to Paul in Col 2:10-17. Its not even possible this is the same thing Jesus gave to Israel but yet modern church twist it to make it the same and satan has 900 or so bible perversions to back them up.
@@sylviacroft Hey sylvia here’s some stuff I didn’t mention just as important. 1 Cor 15:1-4kjv see in verse 2 you can believe in vain. When Jesus was crucified for our sins 2000 yrs ago all our sins were in the future. Your past sin is your sin present sin is yours and future sin is yours. Jesus died for your sins. A clear example of believing in vain is believing verse 3 means Jesus died for your past sins and now you have to maintain it. Sure we shouldn’t want to sin but you are gonna sin and the promise to the believer is you ARE saved if you believe Christ died for your sins and not you are saved if YOU ask Jesus to come into your heart. Doing this completely side steps our gospel and does nothing except making you a good church member. Look at John 3:16kjv. This is under Jesus earthly ministry but todays church thinks blindly following John 3:16 works for today. John 3:16 was great for those Jews back there if they understood what to believe. Read John 8:30-44kjv Jesus is talking to a group of believers and even calls them believers twice. By the end he says their of their father the devil. Jesus calls them believers but they sure don’t have everlasting life as John 3:16 said. John 3:16 isn’t a lie, its just God never intended any so called church or preacher to make up another doctrine using this verse. As far as using John 3:16 today it’s impossible for salvation because Jesus dying for our sins wasn’t revealed until our apostle Paul got it. If you really want to know if your a spiritual version of those Jews back there then take the test. Mark 16:14-18kjv this is Israels great commission when they recieve the new covenant Jer31:31kjv and Heb 8:8. Mark 16:14-18 baptism is reguired and the believer SHALL recieve all the signs mentioned. This doesn’t fit a simgle person alive today and won’t until after the body of Christ is raptured.
@@mount9421 Yes but repentance is not THE WAY only Jesus IS THE ONLY WAY and nothing else !! Repentance it's THE WORK OF THE SPIRIT IN US WHEN WE ARE BORN FROM THE MOST HIGH .... if you repent for to be save you are not save it's a false gospel... it's another way...... it's the roman catholic false gospel : mea culpa mea maxima culpa. The reformed church appear more and more as a deformed church with their gospel of repentance for to believe. Faith have not two faces, neither God .

I find it interesting that you have 102k subscribers and only 992 views; of those views-only 40 people have ‘liked’ this incredible message. This observation belies exactly what your message is conveying. You are an excellent preacher, Pastor Baig.
@Sabrina Byerley. Do you realize that this message was actually preached 20 years ago (at least that's what his drop down says)? I wonder how many suscribers, viewers, commenters there were then? This is a very young Alistair.
I so appreciate his directness of scripture. Amen Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters. Colossians 3:23 and 1 Corinthians 10:31 go very well together. They are both saying similar things - work hard at everything you do in order to bring glory to God. We will never be perfect so therefore we must strive.

This is modern day preaching, 45 minutes of it. Thousands of verbal words spoken. If 5 words are only nessecary then speaking 6 would cloud the Truth and prevent 1 soul conversion to Christ. There were no ( sermons) in the early church. There were no choir,s , no buildings ,no ushers no decon or elder ( board)! At that time it was Faith passed on to Faith by living righteously in the open. There was no religious denomination or organization and was without affiliation to any government . Twenty first century christianity is a terrible immitation of the True church!
There is no glory to God when something appears a ( logistical masterpiece) or that is ( practical)! These thoughts abide in your unconverted carnal mind! You will have to go through the fire of testing to be purified to know and identify a false minister and not be deceived by appearance anymore!
It is surely not identified in the 100,s of thousands of ( christian religions ) existing today! Bear also in mind not 1 of these existed 2000 years ago the day Peter spoke on the day of Penticost! It was man himself inventing all these religions! Not 1 was Godsent in the whole history of the church. Not even those named after a person,s name example , luthereran ,wesleyan etc. None of these comprise the ( church ) now! Think on this!
"many will be called...." from pulpits, from the prophets, from street corners, from radio, from youtube....and many will not come to Him through that one narrow door--He is the ONE true Gd and our Savior. Many will come to investigate and leave without His mercy or after second thought later return, and find the door has been shut. Thank you O Lord for your mercy and grace and Your Word. amen.
Pete La Rosa. The best thing for you to do right now is grab a hold of Gods promises is Christ Jesus. Whether that be looking to the man of sorrows who has overcome suffering, death and sin, triumphing over all enemies (as a faithful an empathetic high Priest) and reigning, resurrecting us to be like himself at the end of all things.... and/or listening to gospel centred music, praying through the psalms and seeing how they point to Christ etc. Continue to turn from sin, looking outside of yourself to the Lord Jesus Christ in His word. Seek the Father, going through Jesus and relentlessly praying to Him and remembering what he has done for you/and others in life and the gifts of salvation. Christ Bless.

@@jordantheriverman6143 That is not an answer, and it is not helpful. The guy asked for prayer, not a lecture. The Bible instructs us to pray for each other. Suppose you do that...
@@judylloyd7901 I understand where you're coming from. Maybe you're right, maybe God placed something upon my heart to share with my brother (11 months ago.) Maybe you are acting as a rude woman. I desired to reminder my brother of gospel truths that will enable him to endure. I regret nothing. This is where we can draw our strength from. You are unaware of whether i prayed for him or not or whether administering gospel truths to my brother was "helpful" or not. The irony is, your are "lecturing" me and this is unnecessary and unhelpful. Though pointing out that lds is a false church with a false gospel is definitely helpful! The Bible does instruct us to do many things out of love for our brothers and sisters and according to wisdom/knowledge/experience. I genuinely hope you have a good day Judy.

Thank you for presenting Alistair Begg’s messages. I am probably remembering hearing him on Christian radio over the years-before UA-cam, etc... made presentations to the world, even more possible. You know He knew the Most High Savior in a beautiful way. What a impactful truth teller his dear saint is/was-Doctor (teacher of significance) as were the scholars in the temple were called) who asked questions of and listened to the 12 year old Jesus.
Thank You Dear Brother for behaving yourself ;-) and staying out of trouble and faithful to Our Beloved Savior Jesus Christ! Hey, thanks for helping me with those "participles, past, present & future 'types'. To be quite honest, up until i heard your teaching on "Are only a few being saved?"(or something to that effect), i didn't pay much attention to what my English teacher was trying desperately to engender to our heads(that were filled with mush at the time ;-) but i've gotten a new interest! Anywho, I/we appreciate what God has been doing through you and I/we pray this acknowledgement doesn't in any way change the present diameter of your beloved "head"! Perpetua Sedes Ad Dexterum Petris!
In comparison to the number in and beyond trillions through the ages: yes, the comparison # is and will be " few". "...and few there be that find it" ( the narrow path). Jesus's Words. Simple right. Thank you Alistair. I totally love your Scottish voice

I have heard many pastors that make salvation so hard. They dismiss what they call the Roman Road. I have heard that you are saved and can ve unsaved based on works. I have never read anything like that in thr Bible. There are some old hellfire and brimstone pastors still around. I don't fault them for it. I just don't agree. I believe we will be surprised how many people will be in heaven we would never have believed. Only God knows the heart of manm

We are being saved by God through the grace of Lord Jesus. Keep the new covenant so that you may be not be disqualified. So fight the good fight of faith till the end that you may qualify.
These verses have terrified me for a long time. He did such a great job of explaining them. Confession: I have never been to church. When I came to Christ, almost 4 years ago, I was already housebound due to a severe illness. It still terrifies me when pastors discuss the importance of attending church, but I can't make it there.😔
being confined is reason enough, for not attending....there are many online ways, and maybe you could contact a local congregation to see if someone would visit you....
As a kid and teen, we would go to church on and off. When we were out, we were out, at least, a year. If we went, we might go for a year. Back and forth. Then, when I was saved at 23, I went all the time. Later, had physical problems where I could go for a few months, then couldn't go for a few months, back and forth, kind of a pattern. Now, I'm where I can't go, at all. Some people at church don't understand and you get wrongly judged sometimes, but you have to have mercy and keep your eyes on Jesus and keep doing what you're to do (what you CAN do) and keep walking with Him and obeying Him. I do feel sorry for you if you've NEVER been to church. It makes me think this person doesn't even know how a church operates and what's it's like being in Sunday School, etc. God knows your situation, though. Find a local church and tell them your situation. You never know, God might send someone or a few people to come and have a little Bible study with you. You can pray and ask God for that. Another thing, I belong to my church, still, ever though I can't go, but I have found you can still serve even though you can't go. For example, we fill up baby bottles to help with a pregnancy crisis center once a year, and I can simply put change or what money you can, and then I give it to my husband and he takes it to our church (he goes all the time), or you can pray for your church and the service they're having, anything you feel you can do from home. If that church has a Facebook group, you can join it and share a Bible verse sometimes or a good song and encourage others in the church through that. Be creative in how to serve God through a local church, even if you can't attend. Something I like that I have found you can do online, that I think is so cool. And, that is, you can witness online!! Sometimes, you run into someone on UA-cam or a Facebook group, etc. that will make a comment that sounds like they're seeking or confused or doubting or whatever it is that prompts you to witness to them. I saw one one time that said on UA-cam, "Where do I go to become Christian?". That was his wording and that's okay. But, when I saw it, the comment was already eleven years old and it was probably around 9 years ago that I saw it. I was still learning, so I wish I had said something back then, even though it was an old comment when I saw it. I tried to find it again, but forgot what the video was. Just saying you do run into this stuff, and also, saying you can still find ways to serve God even if you're home unable to go to church.

@@joelwilliams8074 God bless you brother. “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. Luke 13:24 I trust you are sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the lost.
After Jesus healed the lame man by the pool of water, he ran into him and said, didn't I heal you. The man said yes my Lord, Then Jesus said told the man GO AND SIN NO MORE OR IT WILL BE MUCH MORE WORSE FOR YOU
What a great perspective on the subject of the narrow door. Recently an aquaintence dropped dead at 53 years old. Hadn't been to church for 8 years. The unfortunate thing is did anyone from the church approach him to return? I don't know and if not I am going to look into our work with those who have walked away before it's too late.
Sad to say, there are more people sitting in churches, that are going to hell. That person you mentioned, may have left a church building, but did NOT leave Christ. Sitting in a church NEVER saves ANYONE!! GOD IS NEVER IMPRESSED WITH CHURCH ATTENDANCE. HE LOOKS AT YOUR HEART!! ❤
Thank you for your ministry sir! It is a blessing in my life. I have learned so much but have much left to learn. I’m glad you have a lot of videos... 😁
Let's consider what Jesus actually said: "The Father makes his sun to fall on the evil and the good, and lets the rain fall on both the righteous and the unrighteous." --Mathew 5:6
Jesus certainly is a fork in the road one must deal with. God leaves no excuse of ignorance when it comes to those in the first world especially. One either receives Him for their sins or doesn’t.
I think it is becoming harder and harder for Christians to keep the faith. I can’t judge a young person for denying Christ to keep food on the table for his/her family. I am so thankful that I retired early and my husband did, too; but those who still have to work don’t have it so easy. I remember singing a hymn that includes a promise not to deny Jesus but I usually sang, “Please don’t let me deny you, Jesus.” I have read enough and seen enough movies to know how hard it might be to keep the faith as EricLiddell did.
Sometimes we make salvation sound difficult to achieve.But Christ made it available for even a small child to understand.Have faith and trust in Christ. When you fall and you will many times in life ask His forgiveness. You cannot follow the law, it's impossible. But in your heart you will not want continuous sin in your life. Jesus have mercy on us all who are seeking Heaven.
Amen sister
You should not want ANY sin in your life, although yes it will happen. Ask for forgiveness, REPENT and follow the Law with guidance of the Holy Spirit.
Investment in Jesus is easy.its having your faith test is when things will get hard.
-Amen-❤🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Doesn't it say in the bible that His commands aren't grievous or a burden? There's a website that lists all of the sins (667 of them) in the bible and no one that's a Christian is supposed to be in unrepentant sin. I don't know if I could remember all of the sins to not be in sin.
“For by Grace are we saved through FAITH and not of ourselves, it is a gift of Go, NOT by works of righteous.”
Not by our power or by might ,But by the spirit of God..All the glory to God. We do not fight with flesh but with spirits.
The mass majority of mankind Decompose after ,"Death" Those that don't have put on Incorruption! They become "Sinless! Sin Is Transgression of The Law....Paul said" "Work out "YOUR OWN SALVATION WITh "FEAR AND TREMBLING..."FEAR OF"WHAT"..."SECOND DEATH"..Revelation 2:11 .For those That Decompose after Death Will Never Exist Again!

Amen, amen, amen, Brenda!!!
But, we are NOT judged by our faith, but we are judged according to our works that prove our claim of being in Christ > James 2:17-26 > Faith without works, is dead, does NOT exist! Matthew 16:27, Revelation 20:12,13 ❤
ALL I can say is this debate is one I dont take lightly for I do not want to find myself separated from Christ! ...
That said, everytime I begin to doubt in my salvation being secured to the day of redemption, I never feel right either!!
For I am a sinner! and unfortunately I still have fleshly desires and I know I fall short of the glory of God ...
Anyway i can't think of anything more important, more critical than WHERE we spend eternity ...
"Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling!" ...
PLEASE TELL ME AM I SAVED OR UNSAVED IF I STILL HAVE SIN IN MY LIFE?
I have tarnished my salvation from time to time! let my flesh over power my faith!, Not proud of that; I repent to my father in heaven in Jesus name!

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things SHALL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
We'll trip and fall many times on our Journey to Glory .
The very fact you feel sorry for you failings means you're hearing and responding to the Holy Spirit.
Take heart in the blood of Christ , our only true avenue of salvation.
The walk of faith is like a ladder. Christ pulls us up 10 steps & our flesh drags us back down 9. The cycle repeats over & over. Good news, with each cycle we ARE 1 step higher. Its called sanctification. Its a work in progress. Only truly saved folks go through this.

MTTHEW 7:13 - 14! Praise God, I have been saved for 43 years now by believing and having faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ! How true of this pastor that believers have to STRIVE, for the narrow gate is not easy, but surely worth it!!!
Praise God wonderful messages he preaches.So true Enter ye in at the strait gate and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction ,and many there bewhich go in there at.

This sermon was, as per this my favorite of speakers, calling to me. Everytime I listen here I learn a new bit of Gods redeeming Grace. Am I at the door answering Jesus call, going in before the door closes. Forbid that I slumber & let my lamp go out so stumble to find the door closed. I want, more than ever, of all, to hear His wondrous voice calling me so I never lose my direction. The prayer was so perfect for my ears. He's calling us, we just need to answer that call right when we hear it. No excuses. No waiting. Just go, go, go!
How does a dead man choose life? Salvation is all from God and nothing from man.
What does it mean when we say that God is sovereign in salvation? Charles H. Spurgeon has said it about as well as can be said by men:
“First, then, DIVINE SOVEREIGNTY AS EXEMPLIFIED IN SALVATION. If any man be saved, he is saved by divine grace and by divine grace alone; the reason of his salvation is not to be found in him, but in God. We are not saved as the result of anything that we do or that we will, but we will and do as the result of God’s good pleasure and the work of His grace in our hearts. No sinner can prevent God; that is, he cannot go before Him, cannot anticipate Him. God is always first in the matter of salvation. He is before our convictions, before our desires, before our fears, and before our hopes. All that is good or ever will be good in us is preceded by the grace of God and is the effect of a divine cause within.”
“Again, the grace of God is sovereign. By that we mean that God has an absolute right to give that grace where He chooses and to withhold it when He pleases. He is not bound to give it to any man, much less to all men; if He chooses to give it to one man and not to another, His answer is, ‘Is thine eye evil because mine eye is good? Can I not do as I will with mine own? I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy.’”
Scripture says the same thing, just as clearly and emphatically:
44 “No one can come to Me, unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day (John 6:44).
65 And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me, unless it has been granted him from the Father” (John 6:65).

Thank you robin all is well having Jesus in our lives I am so blessed
@gigiis526 what you wrote doesn't seem to disagree with the sermon, but you have provided a good reminder. The sermon is emphasizing Christ's admonition to Seek, to drop every hindrance, to workout your salvation in fear in trembling, To sieze the day and each day for God's glory by walking in the good works he has prepared for us beforehand, all of which contributes to the experience of assurance for the believer, none of which is the sole means of salvation, salvation being the purview of God and Christ alone.
Your sermons are very powerful. The Holy Spirit is working through you. Amen
How are you
This is my first time hearing Alistair and I know he is speaking the truth of Gods word, thank you so very much.

Thank you for your faithfulness Pastor Alistair!!
@Ryan LeStrange no
I am wondering this morning did Jesus die for the sins of the world ,or only for those who are saved,is the gospel for some or all.
@William Rogers The Gospel is for everyone as Jesus died on the cross for the whole world (John 3:16). However, only those who choose to put their faith and trust in Him for salvation will be saved (John 3:18).
Baal
You must be born from above to enter the kingdom. What Jesus told Nicodemus. That is with the gift from God being baptized in the Holy Spirit. Like our natural birth we play no part in this. Thank you Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for this miracle. Total game changer. Grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. We will be rewarded accordingly in heaven due to our works. But works have nothing to do with salvation. The only works that bring salvation are the works of Jesus Christ on the cross. I boast in Christ alone. 🙏♥️🙏
Allister is one of the extremely, few very powerful teachers still living today that takes the word of God and surgically implants in our hearts and injecting the immense truths of that word into our minds. Praise the Lord for Allister Begg.
AMEN !! THANK THE LORD for him !!
The verse Philippians 2:12- work out your salvation with trembling and fear has always reminded me of the ferocity of Elohims holiness. It rightfully scares me when i think of this verse. Yes saved, but do not take it for granted and think i can willfully sin.
ohno Does Jesus teach the truth or does man teach false doctrine mixed in with some truth? Resting in Christ is not the same as "taking it for granted". Does willful sin make us unborn ?
@@kimwestwood8840
Galatians 5:24 - And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.
Hebrews 10: 26-30 - For if we deliberately sin after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, 27 but a terrifying expectation of judgment and the fury of a fire about to consume the adversaries. 28 If anyone disregards Moses’ law, he dies without mercy, based on the testimony of two or three witnesses. 29 How much worse punishment do you think one will deserve who has trampled on the Son of God, regarded as profane[a] the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and insulted the Spirit of grace? 30 For we know the One who has said, Vengeance belongs to Me, I will repay, and again, The Lord will judge His people.
@@sylviacroft Tell me Sylvia do you sin? Are you born again?
@@kimwestwood8840 Yes, I do. But I don't do it deliberately and I don't excuse it, I repent and get right back on track. And what I and another lady on here are talking about is not what some of you are trying to make it sound like. What we are saying is you can't walk with the Lord and think you can still live your old lifestyle living according to your own will. You mist be seeking God and letting His word transform your mind to see and live according to His will and not your own. And yes I am saved.
@@sylviacroft You sin but not deliberately? So you sin in ignorance while the rest of our brothers and sisters live inside the body of flesh that is sinful in nature and will admit they willfully sin at times? Hebrews 10 is usually misunderstood and used out of context to make a point. I will leave a link to a video that properly explains Hebrews 10.
The problem is that if the permanent atonement of Jesus is not sufficient for willful sin we all will be doomed..
The new nature of every born again believer is the desire to please God, we have been chosen by Jesus to bear good fruit ( John 15). I think pretty much all will agree we don't live our old lifestyle after we are saved. But what we should know is exactly what Jesus teaches , that we can rest and be assured of our salvation according to His word in John 3 ( 4 times), John 6 ( twice), John 10 .
I don't know who you mean by " some of you" , are we not brothers and sisters bought and paid for by the blood of Christ? We may differ on position of some doctrine but we are in the same family of God.

Praise God for people like Alistair Begg who are so clear in the exposition of the Word of God and also very relatable to the current time!
I am reminded, after not hearing of Pastor Begg, for many years, ot the annointing of his preaching. Very incisive and convincing. God Bless him and his family.
I have to say that was one of the best sermons I have herd!!!!!
Full Gospel
1.Justification: Saved from the Penalty Of Sin: Entered the Small Gate Of Truth
2. Sanctification: Being Saved from the Power Of Sin: Walking the Narrow Way
3. Glorification: Will be Saved from the Presence Of Sin: Fulness Of Eternal Life
Actual full gospel...sin and death, forgiveness and restoration of life
Gospel = Good news. This brings into it a great deal more. What you are stating deals with receiving forgiveness only. The amazing new life of all thet God has prepared for those who love Him goes far beyond the beginning. There is an eternity out there to rejoice over. Never mind the power we see daily on this earth. All of it fall into the category of the "good news".
Glory To GOD!!!
that seems to be the OSAS view....because once one is justified.....there is no falling away.....salvation, according to the ones not believing in OSAS....say salvation, itself, is a lifelong process, and as such it can be lost.....such as...endure, till the end.... Matthew 24.13...he, who endures, till the end....shall.....future tense.....be saved....
The first part i believe is regeneration=salvation from the pleasure of sin. The impartation of the divine nature, being born again.
Powerful Pastor Begg. Thank you and God bless you
Thank you Pastor Begg. God's Word is made known to many due to your faithful preaching. What a blessing John Bunyon was to us.
A masterpiece, thanks to God and then to Alistair for unpacking the Greek so well.

Thank you Pastor Begg for sound doctrinal teaching. The Lord seeks each one and calls us to understand that we MUST set our minds on things above and look at our lives from God’s perspective and not be shaped by temporal thoughts 💭; Colossians 3.
A very powerful message to all of us to examine ourselves now and do not put it off till later

I was saved by my lord and savior Jesus Christ who died for my sins
Glory Hallelujah, Jeff!!! "For by GRACE are ye saved through FAITH, and that NOT of yourselves; it (eternal salvation) is the GIFT OF GOD, NOT OF WORKS, lest any man should boast!" Ephesians 2:8 - 9 KJV! Jesus Christ, Son of God manifest in the flesh (please 1 Timothy 3:16 KJV) by the shedding of His blood as He died to pay for our sins on the
cross, was buried and rose from the dead on the 3rd. day!!! One must repent, believe and get saved eternally!!!
@@jayonnaj18 this all looks perfect except repent which most have no clue about so this isn’t directed to you if if its not what u meant.
The modern definition of repent has been changed to turning from our sins which we have no chance of. The first 7 of 8 repent verses in our kjv is the Lord. If anyone thinks their saved by a combination of the Jesus finished work on the cross paying for all sins past present and future but he needs you to quit sinning is not saved. Israel had to do this in the past because it was the law and they had sacrifice’s. Your sacrifice today is Jesus finished work and not understanding your dispensation and gospel today is not gonna be pretty when they die. Claiming the book of Hebrews or James and more for the body of Christ to justify your position is funny to those who understand their bible.
@@kevinboutwell2243 So are you saying Jesus doesn't care if you continue to live in sin? He paid an awful high price to give you the freedom to sin. Doesn't the Word of God say to "Come out from among them and touch not the unclean thing and I will be your God and you shall be my people? What about friendship with the world makes you an enemy of God. So when we pray and ask Jesus into our hearts we are assured of heaven and are free to not care that our sin is what killed Him in the first place? We have no responsibility to love Him enough to not continue to do things we did when we were still His enemy? If you're married, Kevin since you entered a covenant with your wife till death do you part, it's ok with you if she sleeps around? It's called adultery and that's what we do when we are not faithful to Him.
@@sylviacroft Hey sylvia it would help if you give some scripture. What I’m saying is if your salvation had anything to do with your not sinning then there’s nobody saved today. There’s not the slightest chance of you not sinning. Here’s what your doing. 1 Cor 15:1-4 the way we are saved today under the dispensation of grace is believing the gospel given to Paul which is we are saved if we believe Christ died for Sylvia’s sins was buried and rose again the third day. You don’t like this because you want the last say. Instead of just trusting what Jesus did as the finished work the modern day church and you make getting salvation by you asking Jesus to come into your heart. Without you giving the Lord your permission he can’t save you is what your religion believes. This is modern day religious doctrine started by satan. Let me put it another way. Jesus gave you a free gift that’s impossible for you to ever pay for. He gave Paul by revelation the dispensation of grace for us gentiles Eph3:1-10kjv and Rom 16:25-26 and how we are saved 1 Cor 15:1-4. Jesus told Paul this is how we are saved by believing what Jesus did. You don’t like this so your gonna pay $100/ask him to come into your heart as satan says so you don’t owe Jesus anything and you can brag for eternity about this work you did as in Eph 2:9. The reason you don’t understand salvation today is the religious systems from satan has combined Israels promises with the body of Christ. Read what Jesus gave to Paul in Col 2:10-17. Its not even possible this is the same thing Jesus gave to Israel but yet modern church twist it to make it the same and satan has 900 or so bible perversions to back them up.
@@sylviacroft Hey sylvia here’s some stuff I didn’t mention just as important. 1 Cor 15:1-4kjv see in verse 2 you can believe in vain. When Jesus was crucified for our sins 2000 yrs ago all our sins were in the future. Your past sin is your sin present sin is yours and future sin is yours. Jesus died for your sins. A clear example of believing in vain is believing verse 3 means Jesus died for your past sins and now you have to maintain it. Sure we shouldn’t want to sin but you are gonna sin and the promise to the believer is you ARE saved if you believe Christ died for your sins and not you are saved if YOU ask Jesus to come into your heart. Doing this completely side steps our gospel and does nothing except making you a good church member.
Look at John 3:16kjv. This is under Jesus earthly ministry but todays church thinks blindly following John 3:16 works for today. John 3:16 was great for those Jews back there if they understood what to believe. Read John 8:30-44kjv Jesus is talking to a group of believers and even calls them believers twice. By the end he says their of their father the devil. Jesus calls them believers but they sure don’t have everlasting life as John 3:16 said. John 3:16 isn’t a lie, its just God never intended any so called church or preacher to make up another doctrine using this verse. As far as using John 3:16 today it’s impossible for salvation because Jesus dying for our sins wasn’t revealed until our apostle Paul got it. If you really want to know if your a spiritual version of those Jews back there then take the test. Mark 16:14-18kjv this is Israels great commission when they recieve the new covenant Jer31:31kjv and Heb 8:8. Mark 16:14-18 baptism is reguired and the believer SHALL recieve all the signs mentioned. This doesn’t fit a simgle person alive today and won’t until after the body of Christ is raptured.

This message is a masterpiece of logic. Glory to God. Always practical first.
This is modern day preaching, 45 minutes of it. Thousands of verbal words spoken. If 5 words are only nessecary then speaking 6 would cloud the Truth and prevent 1 soul conversion to Christ. There were no ( sermons) in the early church. There were no choir,s , no buildings ,no ushers no decon or elder ( board)! At that time it was Faith passed on to Faith by living righteously in the open. There was no religious denomination or organization and was without affiliation to any government . Twenty first century christianity is a terrible immitation of the True church!

There is no glory to God when something appears a ( logistical masterpiece) or that is ( practical)! These thoughts abide in your unconverted carnal mind! You will have to go through the fire of testing to be purified to know and identify a false minister and not be deceived by appearance anymore!
It is surely not identified in the 100,s of thousands of ( christian religions ) existing today! Bear also in mind not 1 of these existed 2000 years ago the day Peter spoke on the day of Penticost! It was man himself inventing all these religions! Not 1 was Godsent in the whole history of the church.

"many will be called...." from pulpits, from the prophets, from street corners, from radio, from youtube....and many will not come to Him through that one narrow door--He is the ONE true Gd and our Savior.

Please pray for me I am a lot of pain right now and I'm trying to listen to these videos. Wally
Pete La Rosa. The best thing for you to do right now is grab a hold of Gods promises is Christ Jesus. Whether that be looking to the man of sorrows who has overcome suffering, death and sin, triumphing over all enemies (as a faithful an empathetic high Priest) and reigning, resurrecting us to be like himself at the end of all things.... and/or listening to gospel centred music, praying through the psalms and seeing how they point to Christ etc. Continue to turn from sin, looking outside of yourself to the Lord Jesus Christ in His word. Seek the Father, going through Jesus and relentlessly praying to Him and remembering what he has done for you/and others in life and the gifts of salvation.
Christ Bless.

You are unaware of whether i prayed for him or not or whether administering gospel truths to my brother was "helpful" or not. The irony is, your are "lecturing" me and this is unnecessary and unhelpful. Though pointing out that lds is a false church with a false gospel is definitely helpful! The Bible does instruct us to do many things out of love for our brothers and sisters and according to wisdom/knowledge/experience. I genuinely hope you have a good day Judy.
Thank you pastor for preaching the truth bob elliott
Revelation 7:9
After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands;
I like the hymns he referenced! "Life at best is very brief. Like the falling of a leaf. like the binding of a sheath. so be on time." and "If in sin you longer wait. you may find no open gate. and your cry be just too late. so be on time." Make every effort to enter thru the narrow gate - good stuff! thank you
So inspiring and uplifting to learn that salvation is up to me.
God calls but we also have a part in responding
Confusing sounds like working love this pastor. Salvation. Eph. 2:8@9
Thank you for presenting Alistair Begg’s messages. I am probably remembering hearing him on Christian radio over the years-before UA-cam, etc... made presentations to the world, even more possible. You know He knew the Most High Savior in a beautiful way.
What a impactful truth teller his dear saint is/was-Doctor (teacher of significance) as were the scholars in the temple were called) who asked questions of and listened to the 12 year old Jesus.
Kimberly - Begg is still alive.
@@L.Fontein7 if this is a ...question, then the answer is yes.....born in 1952.....
This was an amazing sermon🌻
Thank You Dear Brother for behaving yourself ;-) and staying out of trouble and faithful to Our Beloved Savior Jesus Christ! Hey, thanks for helping me with those "participles, past, present & future 'types'. To be quite honest, up until i heard your teaching on "Are only a few being saved?"(or something to that effect), i didn't pay much attention to what my English teacher was trying desperately to engender to our heads(that were filled with mush at the time ;-) but i've gotten a new interest! Anywho, I/we appreciate what God has been doing through you and I/we pray this acknowledgement doesn't in any way change the present diameter of your beloved "head"! Perpetua Sedes Ad Dexterum Petris!
In comparison to the number in and beyond trillions through the ages: yes, the comparison # is and will be " few". "...and few there be that find it" ( the narrow path). Jesus's Words. Simple right. Thank you Alistair. I totally love your Scottish voice
Awesome.
Thank you.
For the lord hath redeemed his servant Jacob. Amen
Whats shocking is how many hear this, and do not know it speaks of them.
you can say that, again....
For God So Loved the WORLD ❤ all breath Christalogical air we are All born of God there is no separation we All belong to God
Praise God father son And Holy Spirit who has excluded no one thank you Lord
God bless you 🙏😇🙏
Quite scathing, however I like his truthful preaching... too little of it these days!!
Outstanding
Well we are simply giving it back to God, all the thanks , glory, praise, in his son’s name Jesus Christ Amen
Surrender completley to Jesus. Receive His Salvation and Forgiveness today.
As James says, Our life is but a vapor......so brief.
God bless
He is able to save to the uttermost those who come to God thru the LJC..Heb 7:25. He always does those things that please the FatherHe accomplished that for which HE WAS SENT!
I have heard many pastors that make salvation so hard. They dismiss what they call the Roman Road. I have heard that you are saved and can ve unsaved based on works. I have never read anything like that in thr Bible. There are some old hellfire and brimstone pastors still around. I don't fault them for it. I just don't agree. I believe we will be surprised how many people will be in heaven we would never have believed. Only God knows the heart of manm
Thank you
Jesus always has Good News! He is the Good News! 🙏🧡
M. Prayers
The real good news is there is no evidence outside the "Bible" of this "Hell". It's a sick, depraved, and highly immoral concept.
Amen! He is coming soon!
Wonderful exposition!
How are you
Salvation belongs to the Lord.Each can only examine himself If he is in the right faith.
So glad I found this preacher
Praise Jesus. Praise thee Light.
This is an excellent sermon - we should all listen and obey.
Romans 10:13 “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Period. 😊
"whosoever"
KEEP ON KEEPING ON
I'm going to Heaven. 🙏
How do you figure?
WHICH HEAVEN , REMEMBER THEIR ARE THREE HEAVENS ?
@@messengerisrael3817 there* are...
The 1st heaven is the atmosphere, the 2nd heaven is outer space, the 3rd heaven is where God dwells. Now...I wonder...which heaven could she possibly be meaning...?? 🤪🤪🤪🤪 duh
We are being saved by God through the grace of Lord Jesus. Keep the new covenant so that you may be not be
disqualified. So fight the good fight of faith till the end that you may qualify.
you seem to be, one of the few, that understands salvation...
These verses have terrified me for a long time. He did such a great job of explaining them. Confession: I have never been to church. When I came to Christ, almost 4 years ago, I was already housebound due to a severe illness. It still terrifies me when pastors discuss the importance of attending church, but I can't make it there.😔
being confined is reason enough, for not attending....there are many online ways, and maybe you could contact a local congregation to see if someone would visit you....
You don’t have to go to church to be a Christ follower
Just because you put your car in the garage doesn’t make it any more a car!!
As a kid and teen, we would go to church on and off. When we were out, we were out, at least, a year. If we went, we might go for a year. Back and forth. Then, when I was saved at 23, I went all the time. Later, had physical problems where I could go for a few months, then couldn't go for a few months, back and forth, kind of a pattern. Now, I'm where I can't go, at all. Some people at church don't understand and you get wrongly judged sometimes, but you have to have mercy and keep your eyes on Jesus and keep doing what you're to do (what you CAN do) and keep walking with Him and obeying Him. I do feel sorry for you if you've NEVER been to church. It makes me think this person doesn't even know how a church operates and what's it's like being in Sunday School, etc. God knows your situation, though. Find a local church and tell them your situation. You never know, God might send someone or a few people to come and have a little Bible study with you. You can pray and ask God for that. Another thing, I belong to my church, still, ever though I can't go, but I have found you can still serve even though you can't go. For example, we fill up baby bottles to help with a pregnancy crisis center once a year, and I can simply put change or what money you can, and then I give it to my husband and he takes it to our church (he goes all the time), or you can pray for your church and the service they're having, anything you feel you can do from home. If that church has a Facebook group, you can join it and share a Bible verse sometimes or a good song and encourage others in the church through that. Be creative in how to serve God through a local church, even if you can't attend. Something I like that I have found you can do online, that I think is so cool. And, that is, you can witness online!! Sometimes, you run into someone on UA-cam or a Facebook group, etc. that will make a comment that sounds like they're seeking or confused or doubting or whatever it is that prompts you to witness to them. I saw one one time that said on UA-cam, "Where do I go to become Christian?". That was his wording and that's okay. But, when I saw it, the comment was already eleven years old and it was probably around 9 years ago that I saw it. I was still learning, so I wish I had said something back then, even though it was an old comment when I saw it. I tried to find it again, but forgot what the video was. Just saying you do run into this stuff, and also, saying you can still find ways to serve God even if you're home unable to go to church.
@@grannywoods12 Thank you so much for replying and taking the time to write it all down. I'm so grateful. What you said is encouraging. Online is a great opportunity to share the gospel, and I do that between crashes. Talking out loud makes me crash, so I'm very limited in what I can do, so I send the gospel to acquaintances through the mail as well. I'm sorry for your inability to go to church. We're so blessed to have internet because of our situations. You have great ideas. Thanks for sharing them with me🤍
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

“Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. Luke 13:24
I trust you are sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the lost.
After Jesus healed the lame man by the pool of water, he ran into him and said, didn't I heal you. The man said yes my Lord,
Then Jesus said told the man GO AND SIN NO MORE OR IT WILL BE MUCH MORE WORSE FOR YOU
Excellent observation. Thanks for the confirmation of that Scripture!
What a great perspective on the subject of the narrow door. Recently an aquaintence dropped dead at 53 years old. Hadn't been to church for 8 years. The unfortunate thing is did anyone from the church approach him to return? I don't know and if not I am going to look into our work with those who have walked away before it's too late.
Sad to say, there are more people sitting in churches, that are going to hell. That person you mentioned, may have left a church building, but did NOT leave Christ. Sitting in a church NEVER saves ANYONE!! GOD IS NEVER IMPRESSED WITH CHURCH ATTENDANCE. HE LOOKS AT YOUR HEART!! ❤

1 Cor. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
All will be made alive.
This is a wonderful message
Let's consider what Jesus actually said:
"The Father makes his sun to fall on the evil and the good, and lets the rain fall on both the righteous and the unrighteous."
--Mathew 5:6
Jesus certainly is a fork in the road one must deal with. God leaves no excuse of ignorance when it comes to those in the first world especially. One either receives Him for their sins or doesn’t.
If he could be more specific on what it means to agonize to enter the narrow gate
Great message again Alistair, very challenging.
😳i believe GOD😘🌹
Excellent wisdom! This was a fantastic and timely message. (Who on earth downvotes this. Oh, yeah.... those that came tumbling over the wall. lol)
I think it is becoming harder and harder for Christians to keep the faith. I can’t judge a young person for denying Christ to keep food on the table for his/her family. I am so thankful that I retired early and my husband did, too; but those who still have to work don’t have it so easy. I remember singing a hymn that includes a promise not to deny Jesus but I usually sang, “Please don’t let me deny you, Jesus.” I have read enough and seen enough movies to know how hard it might be to keep the faith as EricLiddell did.
Jesus himself said narrow is the way few walk it
Broad is the road to destruction and many walk it!
That’s what I’m saying!
This is exactly the type of sermon to ruffle the feathers of the osas crowd 😳
