Why I need God: A gentle proposal (coming from someone who wasn't always sure).

- As one who never thought I did, I came to find that GOD was my most urgent need, I just didn't know it yet. This isn't a video about heaven, hell, or telling anybody what they need or don't need: its simply about - why I need God? Consider it a proposal, an opportunity, or a very gentle invitation: and the choice is completely yours.

Didn’t expect to see you here but Amen.
Amen.
Amen. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
No way Ryan is Christian? Amen
Beautiful man I love seeing your journey back home to God
I get this strange satisfaction everytime he drops a new video. Thank you ImBeggar ❤❤🙏🙏

@@pinkithecat9101it costs money for him to produce these videos. Also quality vs quantity.
@@pinkithecat9101 videos take a while to make, man :D God bless

NO!
This channel is criminally underrated. The quality of this content is just beautiful, explained thoroughly and well. I am in awe, god bless you man and your wonderful gifts
Yes, it is very well... crafted
To target a certain audience
I found true peace after, finding Jesus. no more anxiety, no more pills.
Honest question to the Christians, did Jesus (peace be upon him) tell you your salvation is in his hands or in God's hands? Who is more worthy of your worship, Jesus (peace be upon him) or God?
@@leckslopi3815we believe in the Holy Trinity. God as God, Jesus as God in human form and the Holy Spirit as God’s messenger. All of these are the same person, but in different aspects if that makes sense (looking up a diagram might help) So by praising Jesus, you’re praising God and His creations. Our salvation however is in Jesus’s hands because he was the one that physically came down and died for our sins
Anyone feel free to correct me if I said something wrong
@@leckslopi3815
A Key.
An entrance.
@@starmc630 so if God the father didn't want to save us, it does not matter since our salvation is in jesus' hands since he was the one that physically died?
Only one human loves me, my Mom. She is dying. She won't be here to give me her love in person anymore in this world. I was married, sure, I have great friends. They all said they loved me. But, where are they now? I don't get distressed or worry. Because I know God loves me and always has and will. We will see some of the people I mention in the world to come, and they will love me. Because I recognize the love God gives me...I am never alone or ever lonely. He's more than enough.
Amen, i hope your doing okay
Amen. "If God is all I have, God is all I need"
God bless you and your mom 💕. Although you can't choose what pains to go through, you can choose to offer them to God. I hope there is some consolation to be found in knowing you can participate in the passion of Christ. I'll pray for you, Patrick 🙏
You nailed it, that when we have God, we might feel lonely at moments, but we do not succumb to loneliness and we know God is with us. Praise God for the time you have had with a loving mother. Many do not have the blessing to be close to their mother in a loving relationship.
God bless you man. Hope your doing well. It's always hard to lose someone, especially a mom. So, please, stay in God, He'll stay in you ❤
7:20 This is me. I've been a Christian my whole life, and I have assurance of my salvation, but my upbringing put very little focus on my spiritual being and needs. My environment changed a year ago and now I am surrounded by so many people who even if they don't live on that "highest floor," they've been there and it's marked them. I want so desperately the relationship with God that they have, but the ideas and ways almost feel foreign to me.
I think I write this more for myself than for the rest of the internet to see, but I do want to share that even in my struggles, doubts, and questions, I know that God is leading me towards Himself. Even though sometimes it feels like I don't believe it, I know it's true.
Stealing this quote from somewhere, but God doesn't write stories that He doesn't finish. My "making it" may never come, but it's His story, not mine.
Wow thanks for sharing. Your top floor make look different than someone else’s but it’s good to be inspired. Just remember comparison is the thief of joy. Great quote. Here’s another, “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.” Philippians 1:6.
I remember when I was still a christian, I had a chance to talk with this "top floor", but they were JW, it definitely shuck me up.
@@beaubeau8693 thank you so much for that reminder and the timely scripture, and thank God for leading you to share it
It is truly a blessing
@@whelperw I feel you. JW teach Jesus isn't God. I know people got bad theology messed up their mind, and it's toughed to untangle. "But God will draw near to those who draw near to Him" James 4:8 and that's a promise. After all, it's only an invitation.
@@ianbuick8946 well, "bad theology", don't forget to whom you talking with, all theologies are bad for me (except daoism, I like it), but of course in various degrees. JW shuck me up in a sense, that I started to reflect on them being too religious, I didn't like their devotion, it seems too alien to me in that time and I avoided being like them, which heavily contributed to my deconstruction overall.
I've been talking to my friend... and asking the Lord to speak thru me to help her. To believe in Jesus and to come home. Come home please... and lo and behold. You come out with a simple invitation. God bless you ✝️⚡️ May this video change her mind. Come home Mei.
Thank you Lord! All gliry be to God! Mau your friend come home! 🏠❤
Amen! I hope she comes home!
This could only convince a cretin
Umm I guess it's fine if she decides to believe in her own. Don't pressure her though.
so stop shoving this bull shit down her throat & maybe just be a decent friend! wtf is wrong with you people!
Every day I do my best to keep in mind how much we all need God in our lives
God’s name has been poisoned. We need to go back to the concept of Meaning in truth, beauty and love. Your videos are helping people waking up from their comfort and fears and seeing reality and what matters.
Yes.
Yes. This man is what lead me to be born again🙏🏼
Yes Amen 🙏
God has a name. It's Jesus Christ
yes lord this right here💯🙏🏽🙏🏽
He saved me from anxiety a couple years back. I still have it but it’s better. We need God in our lives he loves us so much and we should love him back for how much he does for us. He comforts us, protects us, teaches us, allows us to learn from failure
It's so nice of him to cure 90% of your anxiety ❤ A cruel god wouldn't cure more than 60%, that's for sure
I am 61 an every-time one of these videos are released they hit me in my heart and tears flow. Why? because it hits my heart with truth. All my life I have struggled with the concept of God loving me.... of having any worth in his eyes. I feel like Adam hiding from God after he ate the apple. I cannot pray I desire to but I feel like I choke when I try to talk to him. So I journal the words my heart has.... But still I feel like I hide, knowing full well my whole life is open before him and I cannot hide. When you pray please say one for me.
I struggle with self-condemnation too, and I wish I could say that I’ve overcome it, but here’s a scripture to help both of us: Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you a free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1-2). Also, don’t forget that God sent Jesus for us *knowing* how sinful we are. That’s true love.
“Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” Do not worry about what God thinks of you when you think about coming and speaking to him. He sees you. He loves you. Kneel to His feet and say His name, Jesus. His presence will be there. Just as God says, cast all your anxieties unto. It takes time but be patient, and I promise you will be able to speak to him. God bless you❤
”For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.“
Hebrews 4:15-16
You’re no longer naked in Gods sight. He’s clothed you with a robe of righteousness through the blood of Jesus and believing what He did. Now we can come to him boldly at any time, especially the times where you feel like you’re not good enough. Jesus has given us all an A+ report card with God when we just believe what he did for us.
”And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, he has now reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him,“
Colossians 1:21-22
Go to him with a full confidence and knowing that you’re now, in this life, holy and blameless in His sight because of Jesus.
He is a loving God and more importantly the almighty Father. And just like any other father he longs to have a relationship with his children! Take a second to meditate on what He has done in your life. Personally, I’ve been blessed by his deeds in my life and understand that he loves me regardless of my sin. It’s not that I fear condemnation but want to improve myself through him as an act of love for him.
Your vulnerability is an admirable trait that we need more of in the body, I’ll be praying for you brother!
This sounds like C.S. Lewis' quote, "if I find in myself desires nothing in this world can satisfy, I can only conclude that I was not made for here." And the song Brooke Fraser wrote about that quote called the C.S. Lewis song, of course. Is such a beautiful concept.Thanks for taking the time to articulate this, especially for the intellectual.
That is not the only possible conclusion. But some people think it's all about them
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU... you never fail to "nail" it.. your voice, your art and most of all: your DEEP insights. May GOD bless you and encourage you to not stop your work for him.. much love from around the globe 🤍 (Hamburg/Germany)

Amen! ❤
I'm looking forward to each and every single video on this channel because, at least to me, this is one of the few authentic channels about God out there.
I love every single video, and all the care and dedication put into making these wonderful pieces of content.
I know that with words I can only go so far... But... I just want to say: THANK YOU! From the bottom of my heart.
Same, he's so authentic! He helped me get closer to God, I'm so thankful for that ❤❤
This video is just a pile of empty wishful thinking without any semblance of rational substance.
He provides zero evidence to back up his many assertions and so it is just worthless semantics where he 'claims' to know the unknowable.
How clever he is to hide the gun that this imaginary god is pointing at your head.
"Believe in me or I will shoot you" There is no free will in this proposition.
He is inviting people into a world of threats and division even though he cannot provide any evidence that anything he says has any truth to it.
So Manti can you please tell me 'how' you personally established that 'your' god is 'actually' real or are your beliefs just random and empty personal opinions just like the video poster?
I once was that guy who didnt know what God was for. Now Im a strong believer. I was changed by Him. Praise the Lord 🙏
The moment you named Fulton Sheen I got a big smile on my face. His sermons is a source of wisdom I am grateful to have discovered. He explains things in simple terms with a dash of humor and wit, and passion for what he believes in.
The one crucial thing I noticed that has been absent in debates, Q&A, street preaching, and even the pulpit.. is holiness. We keep telling non-believers that they can't do good works, but they can.. but God only accepts holiness, which is only through Christ because His blood purifies. We allow the critics put God in 3 stages: all loving, knowing and powerful.. but never counter with holy, merciful and judge.
Many street preachers are turning people away . They push religion and fear too much.
It’s all about relationships and love
Paul washer has some fantastic sermons not focused on this topic, but in almost every instance he talks about this. Definitely shifts your perspective
Exactly, We don't do good works to be saved. But that fact that we are saved should result in us producing good works. You will know a tree by its fruit.
@@StaciRouth sounds like protestant mumbo jumbo, faith without works is dead and every man will be judged by its works. Dont fool yourself, work out your salvation in fear by doing good works. Only God knows if you're saved or not and we must never be sure of it
@@datboi6066 That's a lie from the pit of hell. As a Catholic, we are SURE of our salvation because of the MERCY and LOVE of Christ. Even in our sins, we respond to this love with our good works. Our actions and response to this love are a testament to the conformity our souls have to Christ and our TRUE love for Him. That Janseinist heresy you speak was condemned by the Church long ago. We do good works for the sake of Christ. Who cares if I am "good" (btw I'm not good) if it is not for Christ and a testament to His love????
Our good works are not ours. They are HIS. He has purchased us through His Passion, and we are completely and totally His through His Resurrection and the Spirit. We can do NO good works without Christ. This is why as Christians we CAN be sure of our salvation because of GRACE and MERCY. Freely given by Him. Not earned. Given. And this is the Truth of who Christ is and who we are to become in the Spirit. God Bless.
You know it is a BLESSED day when ImBeggar posts... We love You, God bless! ❤️☦️
I have difficulty knowing God’s presence and the fact He’s near. I pray hoping my prayers will make my faith grow. Pray for me.
That homesick line is so true
Aside from good lessons, this guy's voice is just so perfect for this style of content. It sounds so down-to-earth like a dude you'd have coffee with, and so wise. It has a sort of impact when he makes a statement. You provide such deep insights.

You are naive
the timing of this is truly special. i realized through this video that i've been fighting and rejecting god for some time now. I really have to stop trying to do everything my way, thank you for bringing this to my attention again! Your Videos really do make a difference
God bless friend
Man,i know you probably get this a lot but i watched and rewatched every single video of yours a bunch of times and i have to say,to me, you're literally a modern philosopher..a genius.
The way you speak your mind,with a humble and loving heart,explaining in the most clever,most creative way the true nature of God.
No forcing beliefs,no illogical "I'm right" attitude which only comes from pride which would contradict Christ..Everything seemingly pure,as if you're sent by him,as you probably are!
Good work faithful servant of God,you seem to have put you're pride away and allowed God to use you as an vessel to spread the ultimate message,nothing but praise and love brother in Christ!
Thanks God! All glory be to You! ❤

I remember when I discovered this channel 1 year ago and I wrote a whole bunch of things about being afraid and not knowing what to do and you replied to my comment with such sincerity and kindness truly seeing these videos have made me question many things about myself but also have given me hope and have helped me grow closer to God to the point where I even started my own channel making Christian content (not this account 😅). Thank you and God bless you!
Thank you for reviving my faith my friend
Your videos are way to good. God bless you IMBeggar 🙏✝️
I watched, then saw this was recent and started crying for joy, like another member of our Heavenly family has came back to share with us all again.
Thank you for your channel. Each one I've viewed, has brought something profound in my relationship with my Lord. I wish I could give you a joyful hug for all the work behind the screen and the message delivered.... for you and or your team.
~*Shana signing out for now
I just discovered your channel a couple of hours ago and I’m hooked! All I can say is thank you for listening to His voice and obeying Him. I needed to hear everything you’re putting out. May God richly bless you and continue to pour Himself in you. ❤
What an amazing visualization. I have such a hard time conceptualizing everything, I've been a anti-theist my entire life and never took a second to question god and the spiritual potential. I'm slowly starting to get it, and I can only work and hope to desire more of this instead of the alternative. Great video and thank you!
God will help all those who are willing to listen and learn and then receive. He does work in mysterious ways bur His hand can be indeed be visible as well
Thank you imbeggar for posting another video, i have just got into these and i cant stop watching because you make my relationship and walk with Jesus feel so much stronger with your explanations God bless and have a good day!
Every time you drop a video, it feeds my soul, they are always of such high quality and so informative, I cannot put into words how thankful I am for you.
Your videos just keep getting better and better. Today you touched my heart. ❤ Once I realized I was not meant for this world, all the ugliness, hate, violence and insanity that creeps into my sense of peace disappears. I can only hope that others will "learn" what the truth really is. The door is always open, He will be there to welcome you. May God Bless you always.
Each one of yours videos bring such peace to my heart! Thank you so much.
God has given you the a gift of communication and teaching. Your ability to communicate Him to others is amazing. I take such comfort and the desire to try harder after watching your vids. God is using you.
This video is remarkable, addressing a multidimensional and complex subject with exceptional brilliance and illustration. It stands out as one of the finest pieces of content I've encountered. Your channel is gold, Amen.
I can just feel how much my faith grows every time i watch your video, God bless!
Wow!!!!! Once again, you deliver a powerful, beautiful message with gentleness and creativity. Can't tell you how much I appreciate you, IMBeggar.
This is honestly so powerful that it brought me to tears. I believe the message is the truest truth that I have ever heard. This can help so many people.
Hey man, I just wanna say thank you for making these types of videos. You’ve answered questions that others haven’t. You helped me a lot in my walk with Jesus when I first discovered your channel, my faith has grown ever since ❤ God bless.
You have no idea how much your videos help. Thank you, may God bless you greatly for all youve done
❤Thank you for your wonderful message. I have been thinking and praying because I have witnessed people who doesn’t have God in their life and seems happy and satisfied with their life. I don’t know how can I share the Good News with them as myself still suffer from jumping between the physical worlds and spiritual world. I want to clear out the distractions but rebuild my faith in God, pursuing truth, love and goodness as the first priority of my life. Please pray for me!
9:25 this was so deep that even i, as a christian, asked myself "what am i doing with my life" (looking at all the bad decisions im still taking in live)
Amazing performance, its clear to me that your relationship with God is a close one. Keep up the good work
Man this is what people need. Thank you for putting the time into a quality invitation!!!
I don’t know why, but this video gave me goosebumps. You present these ideas so clearly in such a short amount of time. I absolutely love your videos man, keep doing what you’re doing, you’re reaching so many people with these.
I download every single vid you drop bro really building me and helping me in my journey to God.....I love you man..... spreading the word and encouragement is really what you're about bro .... Lord Almighty bless you always man....❤
One thing I have always appreciated about these videos is the use of bright white lights and circles. I think it speaks on its own to tell us of God in an imaginative way; as the message of our Christ Jesus remains. God Bless You for your ministry!
HOLY MOLY. This is IT. I have a new found friend who I have been sharing truth with. He is searching for what is true. About God, this world, ourselves.
You explain it so well for a mind like his to understand. Got bless you! This is brilliant!
I don't comment on YT but your videos, the way you talk and present ideas, are so well done, relaxing, and true.
So good man, so good. Definitely inspired work. It always leaves you jaw dropped and thinking. I'll have to watch it again and reflect.
A UA-cam channel named MindShift made a video responding to this one. Just thought I would let you know. Your videos are really well made too. One issue I find with this video in-particular though is that there's a lot of assumptions being made about what each person wants, needs, or hungers for. Might edit this comment later if anything else sticks out to me but was an interesting video to watch regardless.
Mindshift is very unreasonable with many of his points, he leaves no room for proper translation on biblical issues and thinks he has a bunch of gottchas. At best, he does a good job in some things showing how Christians do not live up to Christianity, but that doesn't make Christianity false, it simply highlights what many who say they are Christians may not be, many are weak in the faith, and many have bought into just what their Church believes, without studying it all out for themselves and so on.
@@mcgragor1I concur, mindshift feels like he didn’t study his beliefs before he became an atheist, and now that he is one he’s just pumping out unreasonable objections and yes.. the dreaded gotcha questions.
@@mcgragor1what you seem to *really* be saying here is that you have found a way to rationalize the inconsistencies that DO exist to a high enough level that you can justify belief.
In other words, you’ve evolved from “faking it” to “making it.”
Cool story.
@@joemiller7082 No not really. I think deconstructing from a fundamentalist view would be more accurate, Mindshift came from that and went all the way left, and like I said, much of what he says is unreasonable.
I cannot justify a molecules to man belief, I find it would take much more faith for me to believe in that, than we were created.
Everyone must rationalize to some degree. I think anyone who believes we are just animals, purposeless, is rationalizing to a much greater degree than someone who believes we are designed with purpose.
None of that proves Christianity. I like to separate the two. My belief in God does draw me toward the most evidenced faith, but if I were to find Christianity to be false, I'd still believe in Intelligent Design.
@@mcgragor1 your response told me why you don’t like him. You are locked into a mindset where there is no information that could pull you away from your indoctrination.
I'm a 18y/o struggling in this world, but trying to live a worthy life. I really appreciate these videos, they give me hope. Thanks for that.
God bless you my man, you are doing His Work. I hope more people realize that God is truly real and not a “fairy tale”. 🙏

4:40 I started to hear birds outside chirping right as this transition happened and I thought it was a part of the video! Good timing. Thank you again for another wonderful video. 🙏🙏🙏
I don't know why but I'm filled with a inexplicable joy in my heart 😊
This, I've needed this. I struggle with finding a way to invite others but I have not found the right words and I'm glad that this video has made it simple. Thank you!
You have genuinely helped so many people, myself included. Never stop doing this, even if you need a break i think you are truly needed to help struggling Christians and/or people who are on the fence/don't believe. Keep fighting man and thank you.
Thank you. Love your ministry and message.
Honestly, I agreed with most of what you said up until the part about Jesus. That’s where it gets tricky. How can anyone possibly know that he is the only one that is right, out of all the other teachers? It sure would be nice and much easier if that were the case - I just feel like it’s a simple answer for a very challenging question. I think you’re right about it being incredibly challenging to go from intellectual to spiritual enlightenment. But there are a lot of assumptions one needs to begin making about the nature of God to assume they would send a savior to show us the way. It could be that, instead of hoping for something outside of life, maybe the point of this life is to experience this life itself, and accept it as it is.
Hey, just wanted to thank you so much for uploading these incredible, eye-opening videos. Your videos are the reason why I have given my life to Christ and have been saved. (I actually got baptized spiritually and physically about half a year ago). You are saving souls (you've certainly saved mine), and I just wish the absolute best for you. May God bless you, sir :)
Congratulations! Welcome to the family, God is so good!!
The only thing I can say is glory be to God. These videos have been so helpful to me on my walk with Christ. I dont know if you need to hear this but you truly are doing what the lord has called you to do and Im sure it has helped thousands if not millions of people like myself who struggle each and every day. These videos have been a tool that the lord has used to bring me home and I couldn't be more thankful for them and for you. God bless you, and if is is his will, I look forward to your next video.
i am glad i found you. I lost my faith in God for 6 years. Then I went through something that made me wanting to /or yearning to comeback and talk to God again, and now my faith for God is slowly growing back. I like this video, because i can relate.
If you didn't notice, my dude, he didn't provide any grounds for any of his claims (of which there are many). Of course, it's easy to come up with a framework, where god is needed or necessary, but all of that means nothing if the framework is based on his intuition. God bless you, my faithful guy 😶🌫️👼
@@rostyslavredchyts8086That's where the video lost me at around a minute or two in.
I feel like that’s why I don’t like the fear mongering in modern day religion. It gives the whole idea a bad name.
Aha I have found you. Thank you for this. Going back and watching all 34 of your videos. Sharing it with everyone. Your no-nonsense, no-compromise with a slight urban edge flavor of faith really resonates with my soul. I’ll be hanging out in the corner. Your only-by-the-blood-of-Jesus believing sister… PEACE! 💙
What a beautifully made video brother! Every time I feel like all of the new things that I have absorbed from the Bible. conversations with other Christians and the world are not making perfect sense, you come out with a new video that just sums it all up in the shortest amount of time. On top of it all, the visuals are A+. I know the Lord must be looking down with such joy and pleasure that he has you to spread the word in a visual format. Thank you again and stay blessed!
I know this may be falling on deaf ears, but I personality disagree with many things that you claim in this video and other videos on your channel. As an agnostic, I can't help but be happy in that second level. I don't have any inner feelings of emptiness. I seek truth by learning about the sciences and learning how things work. I do my best to be morally correct because being immoral makes me feel terrible.
I also feel that these values are not gifts from god, but direct products of evolution and humankind. We have morals because it benefits others and increases the community's chances of survival, and our pursuit of truth is what made us superior to other animals.
I don't need a god to be happy. I have my own friends and family who love and understand me.
The legend is back 💪💪💪
At just 1:30 seconds I already knew this video was going to be masterful it’s amazing bro God definitely helped you articulate yourself and to resonate with others in the way you spoke I felt it man
So simple yet so powerful! I had chills watching this. Thank you and God bless.
"Jesus is my most urgent need" I love that
i was so happy to see this pop up in my email inbox :)
Hi, I'm a young teenager who is actually not christian. I accidentaly clicked on one of your videos after feeling a little lost and felling like I am on a wrong path and I do not regret wachting a fex more of you videos. I always thought that beleving in god was made for those who just need someone, like an imaginary figure to rely on but after hearing you my vision of things changed. I may not belive instantly in god but I am thinking of tring to take myself on a spiritual level. Thank you for your wise words and your fabulous videos. It helped me a lot finding myself. Hope I can discipline enough to find my way to your path and gods receval.
Keep going with your videos their the best!!!
This is the gospel of salvation thru the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
The problem is that we ALL are sinners (especially in our minds and hearts). We all are lustful, or greedy, or jealous, or envious, or selfish, or hold grudges, etc.
Those sins leave a filthy disgusting mark on our souls that is NOT erased by our good deeds. Every time we sin, we break God’s rules and rub more putrid sewage on our souls.
The problem is that WE can’t clean OURSELVES off. Good deeds don’t cancel out the stain of sin. No matter how kind, generous, and unselfish we are, we cannot “earn” our way into Heaven because we are covered in rotten putrefaction.
Compared to the pure sinless, holy glory of almighty God, how do we look? Disgusting, sinful, corrupt, dishonorable, disgraceful, UNWORTHY. We don’t deserve to be in his presence or to live in the unspoiled magnificent beauty of Heaven.
The problem is that our sin has consequences. And when we die, the price for our sin is eternal separation from God. But God knew this, and yet he loves us anyway and wants ALL of us to go to Heaven. So what is the solution?
Jesus basically volunteered to be punished in our place. He paid the price for our sins. That’s why he sacrificed himself and suffered and died on the cross for us: to save us. He was our scapegoat, our whipping boy.
But he did it so that all our sins (past, present & future) would be forgiven. He essentially bought our “ticket to Heaven”.
3 days after his death, he rose from the dead in a glorified body and showed he really was the Son of God and that if we trust in him, we too will have eternal life with him.
He then holds that ticket out to each of us saying “I love u. I died to save u. Please accept my free gift to u. Do u trust me?”
God wants this from us:
- To be humble before him.
- To be thankful for Jesus sacrificing himself on the cross to pay the price for our sins.
- To feel sorry for our sins.
- To make a commitment to try to be more Christlike and stay away from sin.
- To realize that he loves us and that we have immense value to him.
- To accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
If we do that… Boom… We are saved!
The ticket to Heaven is ours!
Pretty cool. We can ALL get to Heaven NOT because of what WE DO but because of what JESUS DID. That is the good news of the gospel of salvation thru Christ. It boils down to Jesus saying “I love u. Please trust me”.
Does God want us to stop sinning? Of course. But he knows we are not perfect. Only Jesus was able to live the perfect sinless life. But, God wants us to keep trying. He really likes it when we keep making an honest effort. When we screw up, we need to be sorry and try harder next time…. That is the commitment God wants from us.
Once we accept Christ as our Lord and Savior, we are no longer “dead”, we are no longer “lost”. God is just so happy we have come home, he smothers us with love. It’s almost like we can do no wrong. Sure, the closer we get to God’s pure holiness, the more we can see our own sinfulness. But God tells us “I don’t see your sin anymore. U have been washed clean. Welcome home!”
Please post more often these videos are the highlights of my year and teach me so much!!!❤❤❤
I am not a Christian and I'm curious about one of the comments because I tend to hear this a lot. If you're committed to the belief that there absolutely MUST be something else that goes beyond this world and nothing can change that, then is it seriously possible to have a discussion with someone who doesn't think that on a level playing field? I ask because it doesn't seem to be the case for me.
The statement "there must be something more" is an immediate discussion ender (or thought-terminator as some other people call it). If a non-believer admits there is a possibility that something else out there (but isn't convinced of it), but the believer has an unshakeable acceptance that there MUST be, then the believer is admitting that it's impossible for a change in their perspective, compared to the unbeliever who admits that they could change their mind.
For me it just seems insincere for a believer to want to have a real conversation with people about faith if a believer has made up their mind already (something more MUST exist) and refuses to entertain the mere idea that that simply might not be the case.
Yea I think it's way harder for Christians to budge about god not existing since its kinda imbedded in their religion that any questioning of God's existence is blasphemy or heresey and it's a thought that should be instantly diacarded
I think coming from the Christian perspective it’s not so much the question of possibility but the battle of trying to have a relationship with Him.
The ideas of doubt and human curiosity is a situation that all believers have probably went through. But the important thing is putting the will of God into practice and maintaining a relationship with him.
So long as you maintain that relationship, you start to find peace.
But i think whether you are a believer or not both individuals want answers
You either search the world longing for the truth
Or realize the truth can’t be found here
I find peace in that one day AI will help us discover all that is humanly possible to know and intelligence will beat the universe. It's all a puzzle and while we are here we should try and solve it. Because at our core we want to know. @@nathanielnagy1420
@@nathanielnagy1420 Something I've been struggling with understanding for a while is, why is it a battle to to try to have a relationship with God? When I think about having a relationship with my best friends or family, it's not a battle. Sometimes it takes a little effort, but it's never a battle. And that's with my absolute bestest of friends. Supposedly, God is even better than my best friend, so why would it be more difficult to have a relationship with Him than the people in my life? I've tried having a relationship with God, but I've never gotten to meet Him, speak with him, or even received a text message or post card. Just complete silence. If you could provide some clarity or insight, I would be open to hearing about it.
@@nathanielnagy1420you might as well be saying “fake it til you make it!!!”
I think the issue starts with the beginning of your argument, that spirituality exists and that we all know there's something more. I'm not convinced
If humans aren’t spiritual, then everything is just matter and energy…
No such thing as good or evil because we are just blobs of matter walking around on a larger blob of matter in a sea of large blobs of matter. So then… do whatever you want because it doesn’t matter :).
I think we all know (or at least act) like something we do here is important. I’ve yet to meet someone who isn’t outraged at child abuse or murder. If we are all matter and energy, then killing someone or abusing a child isn’t wrong because we’re just matter and energy. Therefore we are all spiritual creatures because we believe in right and wrong.
@@JobeCourtney ?
What's wrong with being just matter and energy?
"Then killing someone or abusing a child isn’t wrong because we’re just matter and energy." How that does make sense at all? How does being matter and energy makes something right or wrong, important or unimportant?
@@JobeCourtney
"hen killing someone or abusing a child isn’t wrong because we’re just matter and energy" complete non-sequitor. How does that at all follow. There is no logical connection between these two things.
This video outlined every single point I’ve been aching over and praying about in my life FOR MONTHS. Every single thing, the desire to be truly wanted and loved, the carnal emptiness, the homesickness, EVERYTHING. These are all points I have only ever had the courage to tell Jesus, and even then I was so ashamed to do so because I thought I was beyond repair or deserved to live in pain. I saw all these other Christians on social media and wept because my life didn’t look like theirs, I didn’t have that LIGHT and I didn’t understand why. I’ve been ACTING for MONTHS because I thought I was the only one with this struggle (WHICH IS TO STUPID I KNOW). I could never put a name to my struggles until THIS VIDEO and I cried three times watching it. And even prayers that I prayed THIS MORNING WERE ADDRESSED HERE. WOW.
The Lord not just spoke through you, He SCREAMED brother😭😭 thank you so much for posting this video, Jesus works INCREDIBLY through you. Much love, God bless you
Thank you for posting this. Been feeling down for like a couple of weeks now. This is like a reminder for me
And now God’s teaching has been poised with the things of this world. People does not seem to understand that the time on this earth is limited and this Blue planet is not our real home. Our real home is up there, within the very fabric of the universe, where the soul can rest and where we can find the part of ourselves that we miss.
“I don’t care who you are or what you believe. I’m sure that resonates with every single one of us.” Nah. That just sounds like an unfounded claim to me.
"Have you ever felt that your life is boring? It's all because you didn't imagine our mutual imaginary friend, that's why."
so you never had that gut feeling that there's more to us than just our flesh? Seriously, be honest with yourself, you're not a kid anymore, I'm sure your mind has wondered many thoughts throughout your years. If you're an adult, by now you have definitely thought about your soul.
@@isplash3s998 nope.
@@isplash3s998are you sane?
@@gabri41200 stop acting oblivious. Of course you have thought about these things, you're just trying to be a smartass, be honest with yourself. And yes I'm sane, never took any drugs or alcohol, not even weed. So don't try that.
Wow, this video is phenomenal. Such a perfect video to share with non-believers, agnostic, atheists, etc. Such a great existential exercise that inevitably leads to the truth, the way, and the life. Praise Jesus!
This dude's videos are so good. I get so happy when he uploads.
I remember when I used to believe in a god. I did for many, many years. I felt “the Holy Spirit” and saw signs everywhere.
Yet now, I don’t feel that anymore. I don’t miss it either. I’ve just grown skeptical and more aware of how logic and sound reasoning works.
I hate to be the semantic person in the comments, but I just don’t hear anything that’s convincing in this.
Sure, it’s mentally pleasing to talk about abstract concepts and for the greater good and mental improvement of ourselves, but I just don’t see how that means that there’s a spiritual realm out there. It just doesn’t add up. It very much sounds like wishful thinking with a side of logical dissonance.
I appreciate the positivity of this video, because I’m sure you know the vast number of other ‘different’ types of content surrounding this topic. The typical fire and brimstone preaching, or even just the “atheists get owned compilation #56” type stuff.
Even if we disagree on if this spiritual stuff is real, I appreciate your positivity and mood at how you approach the subject. Great video. 👍
I completely understand where you’re coming from. When I was in high school about 10 years ago, I had a come to Jesus moment. I felt the Holy Spirit working in me I had unshakable faith like nothing could come between my relationship with him. Then something terrible happened in my life that made me lose all hope and I became very sad and depressed and lose my faith that God is real. I abandoned the faith for many years as I saw it as a joke. God never answered my prayers or so it seemed. I was heading down the wrong path. I filled my life with all types of carnal pleasures and nothing seemed to fill the void. I committed my life back to Jesus and I struggle daily but I feel a sense of purpose again. & I feel like life’s not all in vain. Life is hard and unpredictable but I know that my belief in God will help me get through to the end. I hope this comment finds you. I totally get where your coming from to at least some extent, I don’t know your story. But, it’s worth looking into again. God bless have a good day.
One thing that i couldnt wrap my head around as an agnostic was how the universe began. Even if everything came from a single point or atom… where did the atom come from? No matter what sci-fi we tell ourselves to digest the scenario it all comes down to requiring an uncausable cause. Something outside of our realm.
Here’s a philosophy question for you.
Say something comes into existence… why? There is no need for the universe to have “existence” it could remain an empty void for eons. “Oh it was created from black matter and energy waves.” Cool… where did those come from…
@@nathanielnagy1420 there’s a very simple answer to that. It’s called “I don’t know”
I’m not going to assume or make guesses about what caused everything.
Though don’t mistake that for me saying I don’t believe the Big Bang happened. I’m convinced by the evidence we have thus far that the Big Bang model explains how our current representation of the universe began. But I don’t have a clue about what came before that.
Literally same
@@nathanielnagy1420 There are plenty of answers about the ultimate ground of existence- if there are indeed any- that are not the Christian God.
you didn’t really build an argument you just kind of stated a conclusion. How are we spiritual and not only physical? What causes us to die if we’re cut off? You alienate a lot of your target audience by starting with statements that are conclusions of your belief rather than telling us why you changed from one belief to another.

I don't know how you do it! With every video I watch, I feel closer to God. Thank you.
i have sin of unforgiveness
Is there a reason this is unlisted? I only managed to find it through a playlist.
His new videos are unlisted for everyone in his email subscribed list, to see it first, then he releases to Public
Thank you Lord my God for imBegger and for this video🙏🙏❤
Shalom! Peace be with you brother! God has placed you here for good reason! I wish you well and I will pray for you and your family, Thank you for making these videos that spread truth! God bless!
Just because you need God doesnt mean hes there. But i guess if it helps you cope with the idea that life may not actually have purpose, go for it
I don’t know why you needed to share your opinion in such a random unwanted hawkish way when literally all you’re saying is ‘I don’t agree with you, your belief in God is stupid and a reason to cope with life’ when you could’ve just gave a thoughtful argument without being so randomly aggressive, then again, this could be rage bait
This is so Brain Washy 🧠 💦 tone of his voice telling you what you think before you have even thought anything..just close your eyes and listen to the sound of my voice 😅 im not going to talk about hell or were you go after you die..Ooops i did sort of mention it🤦♂️
Ever since I found your channel, I was afraid to know Things that I didn’t wanna know, but now constantly coming back to your videos, it’s opening my eyes and making me laugh so afraid I just wanna say thank you so much❤❤
Always such a pleasure whenever you post. It always moves me in such a way that makes me want to put my faith into practice.
If this video doesn't get 1000000 views in a week, then I'm going to be upset
Jesus love's you ❤
