The true grace of God teaches us to not sin, Titus 2:11-15. The question to be asked, are we learning what grace is teaching us? We must remember that all of us learn at different rates, this is where we all need grace for one another.
The sincerity of both of you is undeniable. As a man, it is refreshing to see both of you that have the exact emotional make up as myself. I think of death in the exact same ways that you guys have described. I even read books about how Christians have endured the loss of loved ones. I am always as both of you said, I'm doing the math of my life. It is very depressing at times, but at the same time, I don't know if it's really morbid. I want to be prepared in my mind and heart for the possibility of things that may happen. I don't think it's wise to pretend that such things will never happen to you. Eventually things will happen. And I just feel it's good for your spiritual health to think about these things. Thank you so much for this podcast.

Oh boy, how much I appreciate this episode and the honesty, venerability from the both of you. We are truly blessed to have brothers in Christ willing to share their experiences with us all because we are all going through something as believers! May our Lord Christ Jesus bless you two brothers!
Ps. 73 : 25,26 Whom have I in heaven but thee, my flesh and my heart failth but Yahweh is the strength of my heart. These are 2 verses that I have leaned on more than any other verses. Some dark nights of the souls never go away, dark nights that define us and without Christ would lead us to desperation. Satan wants to destroy us with despair but because we are IN CHRIST we always have a hope that will keep us from being overwhelmed by despair. Lean into the fact that we are in Christ. I know this is how Paul was not overwhelmed by the fact that he was the lead murder of Steven as well as many other brothers and sisters. We are in Christ.
Fear has torment. That's what you guys are talking about. We actually thought that being in Christ, we would be able to deal MUCH better with this earth life stuff. Where is the sting of death??? Everywhere I look.
Not all people will be saved. In fact Jesus even said that few will be saved. So who are those few that will be saved? The elect of God. They are literally the children of God.. They are the only people born with faith, that's why they are the only people that can be saved...
@@EpistemicAnthony, I know it because I love Jesus and His words, He revealed to me many things about the truth that few Christias know, such as tithing is not required for Christians, that there are only 2 kinds of people in the world, the children of God and the children of the devil. That only the children of God can be saved because they are born with faith. The children of the devil cannot be saved because they are like their father the devil.. Exanple of the children of the devil can be found in John 8:44.. Example of the children of God can be found in Romans 8:14-16 and in Psalm 82:6...
@@EpistemicAnthony, John 8:44, Jesus told them that: "Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it." Romans 8:14-16 KJV "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:"
@JunDurias How do you know you are one of the people that truly love Jesus? After all, mamy people think they are elect and then leave the faith. Calvin said God gives some people the false belief that they are elect. You might be one of the fooled ones, right?
“where else are you going to go?” - That one sentence says it ALL
That’s exactly what I said when He began drawing me & I when I was saved. 😭🙌🏻♥️

This life of pain will be gone someday. Replaced by a love that will never die..For those found in Christ.
We are in Christ , what a deep well of hope, strength, and joy, we are in Christ. Love in our Lord to all ❤

Like cold water to a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far country. (Proverbs 25:25, ESV). Thanks brothers ❤

If there were no sin, there would be no suffering... so why would anyone celebrate sin !!! That's wicked.

Christian NDE reports help me with some of this. Randy Kay or others.
Some people may refuse their testimony based on some theology, but I do not.
Can I get an Amen??

How do you know you are in the elect?

So, what do you say about my responses? Do you agree or not? If you don't agree, tell me why..
