Lordshipper - ' I repented of my sin, I do this, I do that ' Christian- ' I trust in Christ alone to save me because I cannot save myself. ' Very good teaching again mate
I agreed, Christ saved me from my sins and my addictions. If i was too weak to even save myself from my own demons and sins, how can i save myself from going to hell?. Let that sink in. I'm humble with everyone, not only to God, but with everyone, i don't have anything to boast about it, i give all my thanks to the Lord who saved me and give me wonderfull things. Hallelujah!
I am so glad that the Lord makes salvation easy for sinners! He did the work of saving us. Beware of anybody who tries to make justification hard. It is by faith in Christ!
@CatholicTruth101 Matthew 21:31 - "Truly, I say to you, the tax collectors and the PROSTITUTES go into the kingdom of God before you". James 2:10 - For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. Galatians 3:11 - Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.”

@CatholicTruth101 So what are you saying? That as soon as the Old Covenant was fulfilled we immediately became righteous in our own right, without Jesus? I need a more comprehensive explanation than what you are giving before I consider that, and even so I can assure you I won.t. In Romans it says there is *none righteous*. That tells me the human condition, unless redeemed by Christ, is the same. As for the Catholic bible, the book of Judith has God participating in a lie. *My* Bible says God cannot lie so I find it impossible to believe He would participate in one. It only takes one inaccuracy for me to throw the baby out with the bathwater and that's why I do not believe the Catholic bible is entirely the Word of God.
@CatholicTruth101 That's what I was saying (grrr). Whether the verse is in the OT or not, our righteousness is as filthy rags. Without Jesus there is none righteous. I know you didn't say His name but it is the only name by which we can be declared righteous! A little frustrated here; is it my semantics?
@CatholicTruth101 OK here's where things took a left turn. In your original reply to me you quoted whoever practices righteousness is righteous". Maybe I am reading it out of context but it sounded like what you were saying was if we practice righteousness we are righteous. By our works. I'm no Bible scholar and will not pretend to be some deep thinker. I'm always up to learn. But when I see something that doesn't sound right I say something. Sometimes it makes me look foolish if I am wrong, sometimes it may help someone else, or it will cause me to go to the Word, look it up, read around those verses to get context, look up other verses.
This publican displayed the proper kind of repentance toward God. He understood that he was a hopeless sinner, and needed God's mercy. We have that through Jesus, the obedient Son of God.
Funny thing is I was just watching a video on this because it came to mind and completely shows you how compassionate Jesus was with the sinner who admits he’s a sinner vs the self righteous. Same spirit same message. Faith in Christ alone for salvation
Faith Alone In Christ Jesus Alone , Salvation Gift Of God Not Of Wokrs Less Anyone Boast, Jesus Christ Is The Way The Truth The Life And No One Cometh To The Father Without Going Through The Son Jesus Christ. God bless everyone 🙏
@CatholicTruth101 NO,THE FATHER'S WILL IS TO BELIEVE ON THE ONE HE SENT, HE SENT JESUS CHRIST, GOD IN THE FLESH. NOW SHOW ME GODS WILL BEING DIFFERENT,YOU CAN'T
@CatholicTruth101 God's standard to be in heaven is perfection/righteous. - Matthew 5v48 ' Ye therefore must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect ' God, in his righteousness, won't accept anything less than this. We, therefore, need to be righteous/perfect in his eyes to be in heaven. This is achieved ONLY by what Jesus did through faith ALONE in him. - Hebrews 10v14 ' For by one offering he hath perfected FOREVER them that are sanctified (believers).' Galatians 2v16 ' Knowing that a man is not just by the works of the law (loving God and thy neighbour) but by the faith of Jesus Christ. Even we have believed in Jesus Christ that we might be justified by the faith of Christ and NOT by works of the law. For by the works of the law no flesh shall by justified. ' - Romans 4v5 'Now to him who worketh not but believeth in him who justifieth the ungodly his FAITH is accounted for righteousness. ' Therefore if being righteous before God depends on our repenting of sin, that would mean works, and that would mean stopping all sin which no one can do or achieve. Turning from sin doesn't blot out sin or make us forgiven and righteous. Only Jesus blood can do that- Hebrews 9v22
@CatholicTruth101 I REPENT everyday many times a day because I can't do it ,I Need Jesus Christ to give me the strength,He Who Is In Me Is Greater Than He That's In The World,Only Jesus Christ Can Save,Not Anything Of Works ,God bless you 🙏
@CatholicTruth101True repentance is the change of mind from unbelief to belief in Jesus Christ. Once you are saved, you are made holy which is why the verse says that we do what is righteous because he is righteous. Those who are saved do not have the identity of sin anymore because Jesus destroyed the devils work.
@CatholicTruth101 The only way to turn from sin is through Jesus Christ brother. No one can uphold the law, if you break one, you break it all. That’s why Jesus had to die for our sins.
You know Ono, there are many pastors of varying ages and backgrounds, that I have known and know, that do not teach like you have showing the contrast. After watching many of your videos I must say praise God, because you have even helped me to see those hard to explain Scriptures in light of Gods Word defining scripture with scripture instead of what most are using personal interpretations! I am so glad I found this channel! God bless your work brother!
@CatholicTruth101 Jn 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 1Jn 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 1Jn 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 1Jn 3:4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. 1Jn 3:5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1Jn 3:6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 1Jn 3:7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 1Jn 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1Jn 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 1Jn 3:10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
AMEN 🙏🏻 EPHESIANS 2:8-9 KJV 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
I’m not going to lie Onorato Diamanté #brotherinChrist this video made me shed tears 😢 it was a beautiful message now I feel bad about how I’ve been abusing GODs Grace and living in sin on purpose and hearing this makes me want to be a better child of GOD because he did so much and I know I am displeasing him but sleeping around not married to the lady I am with. I need to change my military mindset to a mind like Christ and not be formed to this world any longer it’s difficult but this message gives me joy in my heart but constantly reminds me to try to be a better Christian not to be saved or maintain salvation but out of Love towards our Lord and Savior and our GOD thank you for everything ❤
Lord have mercy on us. without You, salvation is impossible but by Your grace we have obtained righteousness through thr sacrifice of our Savior Jesus Christ. Thanks Ono for this teaching
Having recently left an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church in the UK after 6 months of enduring pharisaical judgmental legalism, I can say this is one of the key Scriptures to call them out! Well done Brother Onorato, another brilliantly timed video, especially with the dulcet tones of Alexander Scourby, probably the greatest reader of the KJV!
The beauty of this gift, salvation by grace through faith, is that even the simplest of Gods sheep may understand it. But those with an insatiable curiosity about God and His plan may plumb the depths of it and seek the heights of it and never reach the end of either.
I really enjoy your videos Brother! You are definitely being used by the Lord to reveal the Truths of His Word! Would you please take time to Scripturally explain, as you do so well what it means to “Believe”on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved means? The definition of Believe is different even within different Believers or Denominations. Sincerely Thank You for sharing what the Lord has shared with you to open my eyes and many others!God Bless
“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” (James 4:6) “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” (Romans 4:5) “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.” (Romans 11:6)
"I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly." Galatians 2:21 Righteousness does not come through the law! Trust in what Jesus has done for you rather than what you have done for Him.
@@unsightedmetal6857 Helllo. So If Ono’s interpretation suits you I don’t see any doctrinal issues with it but I’d recommend reading Romans 10-11 as contextually referring to Israel and their rejection of Christ. I think the truth is within that interpretation.
Thanks be to God we have His imputed righteousness, apart from works. Romans 4:6. Our righteousness is only filthy rags before a Holy God. But we have His imputed righteousness which is perfect righteousness. He has forgiven us ALL trespasses. Colossians 2:13. He took the punishment for our sin so we do not have to go to hell to pay our sin debt. Paid in FULL. John 3:18. No longer condemned.
Can you imagine dedicating your life to religion to only be told "I never knew you" by God because you thought your works played some sort of role in your salvation... salvation is given to us freely because of the work of Christ only and many people will miss that
Im reading the old testament and one thing ive noticed is that onlynthe prophets are called servants Which gives more insight to the not everyone who says Lord Lord passage Because they are called false prophets
Yes the Pharisees did not have faith. They where selfishly doing works not having faith. Spot on. What about selfLess works? You present works in such a way as if we are doing any works then we are trying to earn are salvation. Often quoting Matthew 7 without addressing selfish motives vs selfLESS faith based motives in works. The ten commandments are a reflection of Gods character which is love. Sin the breaking of the commandments, selfishness. Jesus summed the commandments up in Matthew 22:37-40.The First four Loving God and the last six loving your neighbor. Jesus lived this in the gospels and commanded us to do the same through selfLess faith based motives/ works. John 14:11-15. You said in a previous video that you dont have to do good works, you get to do good works. Thats like saying we get to love God and are neighbor but we don't have to. Going against the words of Jesus. John 15:10-17. Faith should bear fruits of obedience to God. Ive been called a legalist for this veiw. Am i? John 8:11 Jesus tells the the woman caught in adultery " Go and sin no more" . Should we not follow that? Does Jesus not have the power to give us victory over are sin? Or does the devil have more power to keep us in are sin? James 1:12 James 4:7-10 Turning from sin and following the commands of Jesus is not me trying to earn my salvation. Romans 3:31 Romans 6:1-7. Not in are strength but through trust and faith in Jesus Christ.
Ok firs scripture is pharases which were the leader right 2nd for i have never knew you, did you notice cast out devil, does your average christian cast out devils no its the leader priets Bishop pastor etc because they claim they know and are sheparding the church , have noticed those charismatic pastors, speaking in tounges etc thats who hes talking too the parallel is living in the law, like "you need to do 30 prays of this and baptism etc or your not saved, or paying tithes etc" its the modern day pharasees nothing new under the sun, the devil infiltrated the old leader and news ones also
The early church didnt preach faith alone. They preached faith with works. Faith alone didnt come about until the protestant reformation. If faith alone is the gospel of Christ then why did He fail to impart that gospel for 1500 years?
@@Thomas_McCoy “All these, therefore, have been glorified and magnified, not through themselves or THROUGH THEIR WORKS, or through the righteousness that they have done, but through his will. 4 And we who through his will have been called in Christ Jesus are justified, not by ourselves, or through our wisdom or understanding or godliness, or THE WORKS THAT WE HAVE DONE IN HOLINESS OF HEART, but BY FAITH, by which all men FROM THE BEGINNING have been justified by Almighty God.” 1 Clement
@CatholicTruth101 Or more plainly, "not only by faith" (οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως μόνον). James does not deny that we are justified by faith, as Abraham was in the moment he believed the Promise. But James adds that we are also justified by works when our faith is put to the test and our works demonstrate that we genuinely trust God (as Abraham was when he almost sacrificed his son).
@CatholicTruth101 μόνον is an adverb qualifying the verb δικαιόω (justify) rather than the noun πίστις (faith). So what James is saying is analogous to saying that you can travel to Australia by boat and not only by plane. The underlying idea is not that you are expected to travel to Australia by boat and plane in combination, but that these are two possible means of traveling there. When Abraham was justified by faith in the promise (Gen. 15:6), it was not the combination of faith and works that justified him, but his faith alone. Many years later, he was justified by works when he offered his son on Mount Moriah.

No it isn't.
Obedience is for service nothing do to with salvation.
The whole context of the parable broke my heart in millions of pieces for how humble and lovely it is💕
Self-righteousness is condemned by God!!!

AMEN 🙏🏻
EPHESIANS 2:8-9 KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
My life verse!
Amen 🙏 brother in our Lord Jesus Christ ✝️ God bless
I really appreciate this teaching brother. Thank you. Don't stop.
So profound and simple
Amen.
I’m not going to lie Onorato Diamanté #brotherinChrist this video made me shed tears 😢 it was a beautiful message now I feel bad about how I’ve been abusing GODs Grace and living in sin on purpose and hearing this makes me want to be a better child of GOD because he did so much and I know I am displeasing him but sleeping around not married to the lady I am with. I need to change my military mindset to a mind like Christ and not be formed to this world any longer it’s difficult but this message gives me joy in my heart but constantly reminds me to try to be a better Christian not to be saved or maintain salvation but out of Love towards our Lord and Savior and our GOD thank you for everything ❤
Im guilty of the same thing. Trying to do better.
All of us are living in sin, and that is why we need a Savior for eternal life.
Thank you Lord Jesus for all that you have done for us. To you too brother Ono keeps it up.
Amen, Brother!
Thank you again and again and again!! Keep preaching it!!!
Lord have mercy on us. without You, salvation is impossible but by Your grace we have obtained righteousness through thr sacrifice of our Savior Jesus Christ. Thanks Ono for this teaching
Amen, well done brother. Glory to God through his son Jesus Christ
Self righteousness in your self is just a other form of pride... my righteousness is in Christ and him alone 💪🏾
Amen!
Having recently left an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church in the UK after 6 months of enduring pharisaical judgmental legalism, I can say this is one of the key Scriptures to call them out!
Well done Brother Onorato, another brilliantly timed video, especially with the dulcet tones of Alexander Scourby, probably the greatest reader of the KJV!
Well done. This is so crucial. Faith in Jesus Christ is the ONLY way and the ONLY thing that saves…
Amen brother 🙏🙏
Amen hallelujah.👍
Amen bro
The beauty of this gift, salvation by grace through faith, is that even the simplest of Gods sheep may understand it. But those with an insatiable curiosity about God and His plan may plumb the depths of it and seek the heights of it and never reach the end of either.
Wow! A new vid every day--I'm gonna celebrate🤓🎆 Thanks Ono.
Needed to hear this. Always refreshing:)
Thank the Good Lord for the gift of salvation thru Jesus Christ🙌
I really enjoy your videos Brother! You are definitely being used by the Lord to reveal the Truths of His Word! Would you please take time to Scripturally explain, as you do so well what it means to “Believe”on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved means? The definition of Believe is different even within different Believers or Denominations. Sincerely Thank You for sharing what the Lord has shared with you to open my eyes and many others!God Bless
I'll be addressing this further in a future video. ua-cam.com/video/QAXytNZvBEM/v-deo.html
“But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.” (James 4:6)
“But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” (Romans 4:5)
“And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.” (Romans 11:6)
WOW THAT JUST DEMOLISHED PERSEVERANCE OF THE SAINTS
I surrender all
Amen love your videos i pray that these videos are a sweet aroma to God.
"I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."
Galatians 2:21
Righteousness does not come through the law! Trust in what Jesus has done for you rather than what you have done for Him.
@@unsightedmetal6857 Helllo. So If Ono’s interpretation suits you I don’t see any doctrinal issues with it but I’d recommend reading Romans 10-11 as contextually referring to Israel and their rejection of Christ. I think the truth is within that interpretation.
@@unsightedmetal6857 That’s also the context of the book of Hebrews & Matthew 25 during Jacob’s trouble BUT that’s just my opinion.
THANK YOU
Amen
What's up Ono!!!
Great ❤
Also in Revelation JESUS said that He will give he who is athirst the right to drink water of Life freely. FREELY
Thanks be to God we have His imputed righteousness, apart from works. Romans 4:6. Our righteousness is only filthy rags before a Holy God. But we have His imputed righteousness which is perfect righteousness. He has forgiven us ALL trespasses. Colossians 2:13. He took the punishment for our sin so we do not have to go to hell to pay our sin debt. Paid in FULL. John 3:18. No longer condemned.
Family I found another osas verse today Mark 16:16
Can you imagine dedicating your life to religion to only be told "I never knew you" by God because you thought your works played some sort of role in your salvation... salvation is given to us freely because of the work of Christ only and many people will miss that
A M E N. 👍🏻👍🏻
However We should maintain good works
Im reading the old testament and one thing ive noticed is that onlynthe prophets are called servants
Which gives more insight to the not everyone who says Lord Lord passage
Because they are called false prophets
Grace is almost over
Get right for flight ☝️
Yes the Pharisees did not have faith. They where selfishly doing works not having faith. Spot on. What about selfLess works? You present works in such a way as if we are doing any works then we are trying to earn are salvation. Often quoting Matthew 7 without addressing selfish motives vs selfLESS faith based motives in works. The ten commandments are a reflection of Gods character which is love. Sin the breaking of the commandments, selfishness. Jesus summed the commandments up in Matthew 22:37-40.The First four Loving God and the last six loving your neighbor. Jesus lived this in the gospels and commanded us to do the same through selfLess faith based motives/ works. John 14:11-15. You said in a previous video that you dont have to do good works, you get to do good works. Thats like saying we get to love God and are neighbor but we don't have to. Going against the words of Jesus. John 15:10-17. Faith should bear fruits of obedience to God. Ive been called a legalist for this veiw. Am i? John 8:11 Jesus tells the the woman caught in adultery " Go and sin no more" . Should we not follow that? Does Jesus not have the power to give us victory over are sin? Or does the devil have more power to keep us in are sin? James 1:12 James 4:7-10 Turning from sin and following the commands of Jesus is not me trying to earn my salvation. Romans 3:31 Romans 6:1-7. Not in are strength but through trust and faith in Jesus Christ.
2cor we should not trust in ourselves
Ok firs scripture is pharases which were the leader right 2nd for i have never knew you, did you notice cast out devil, does your average christian cast out devils no its the leader priets Bishop pastor etc because they claim they know and are sheparding the church , have noticed those charismatic pastors, speaking in tounges etc thats who hes talking too the parallel is living in the law, like "you need to do 30 prays of this and baptism etc or your not saved, or paying tithes etc" its the modern day pharasees nothing new under the sun, the devil infiltrated the old leader and news ones also
The early church didnt preach faith alone. They preached faith with works. Faith alone didnt come about until the protestant reformation. If faith alone is the gospel of Christ then why did He fail to impart that gospel for 1500 years?
@@Thomas_McCoy “All these, therefore, have been glorified and magnified, not through themselves or THROUGH THEIR WORKS, or through the righteousness that they have done, but through his will. 4 And we who through his will have been called in Christ Jesus are justified, not by ourselves, or through our wisdom or understanding or godliness, or THE WORKS THAT WE HAVE DONE IN HOLINESS OF HEART, but BY FAITH, by which all men FROM THE BEGINNING have been justified by Almighty God.” 1 Clement
A church that does not preach the Gospel of salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone is not a church of God, but of the adversary.
@CatholicTruth101 Or more plainly, "not only by faith" (οὐκ ἐκ πίστεως μόνον). James does not deny that we are justified by faith, as Abraham was in the moment he believed the Promise. But James adds that we are also justified by works when our faith is put to the test and our works demonstrate that we genuinely trust God (as Abraham was when he almost sacrificed his son).
@CatholicTruth101 μόνον is an adverb qualifying the verb δικαιόω (justify) rather than the noun πίστις (faith). So what James is saying is analogous to saying that you can travel to Australia by boat and not only by plane. The underlying idea is not that you are expected to travel to Australia by boat and plane in combination, but that these are two possible means of traveling there. When Abraham was justified by faith in the promise (Gen. 15:6), it was not the combination of faith and works that justified him, but his faith alone. Many years later, he was justified by works when he offered his son on Mount Moriah.
For most of Christian history the churches did not teach faith alone. So you're saying that Christ failed to establish a church that saved souls.
This video is superb for showing to the MANY people who say they believe on Christ but clearly see their behavior as their savior.
@user-vv9np5iq7n Good comment! Here's the mentality of such people that you just described:
"Hey, Lord Lord, please let me into heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Look Lord, I've repented of all my sins and have stopped sinning!!!!!!!!
"I don't smoke"
"I don't drink"
"I don't do drugs"
"I don't masturbate"
"I don't fornicate"
"I don't adulterate"
"I don't ever lust"
"I don't ever look at porno"
"I don't ever have wet dreams"
"I don't get erections"
"I've castrated myself"
"I have been wearing a chastity belt all my life"
"I don't listen to rock music, but only to wholesome Christian gospel music"
"I don't get jealous or envious"
"I am not greedy and always share with others"
"I don't have sexual thoughts in my mind when I see an attractive person of the opposite sex"
"I don't ever cuss or say 4 to 7 letter profanity words when I get angry"
"I don't cheat on my taxes"
"I help little old ladies across the street"
"I don't ever lie"
"I don't murder"
"I never joined a gang"
"I don't have evil thoughts in my mind when people rudely cut me off on the freeway at high speed"
"I am not racist"
"I don't have animosity in my heart when other people talk loudly and obnoxiously in a foreign language in front of me"
"I give a tenth of my earnings to my local church"
"I don't get angry or want to get even when my boss docks me 1 hour pay for being late 10 minutes because someone was blocking my driveway"
"I love all my neighbors as myself even though they are very selfish and obnoxious jerks and troublemakers"
"I don't get upset when people play LOUD MUSIC that disrupts my sleep"
"Now, Lord pleeeease let me into heaven, Oh, pleeeeease!!!!!!!!!!!"
the self righteous are already disqualified from the rapture but they won’t know until it happens. #livinginouterdarkness
AMEN! ❤
Amen!!
