Trusting in the One that has done, not in what you should do, is the only way to avoid Hell (with certainty, as Christ Almighty promised): "Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye BELIEVE on HIM (on Him, a Person, not on a religion/church/self-identity) whom he hath sent." - John 6:28-29 "And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which SEETH the Son, and BELIEVETH on him (on Him, a Person, not on a religion/church), may have everlasting life: and I WILL raise him up at the last day." - John 6:40 "Now to him that worketh is the reward NOT reckoned of GRACE, but of debt. But to him that WORKETH NOT, but BELIEVEth on HIM that justifieth the ungodly, his FAITH is counted for RIGHTEOUSNESS. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness WITHOUT WORKS" - Romans 4:5-6 (Saint Paul the Apostle)

@LeftenantMalachi May the words of St. Paul comfort you and give you peace in Christ: "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."
I’ve been actively preparing for my death since my conversion As a practicing Catholic I regularly pray and go to confession I also start my daily mental prayer session with a examination of conscience and Act of Contrition and try to live a life of love and enjoy and embrace every day as a gift 🙏❤️🌹
These are truths that we certainly need to reflect on daily. We have to be aware of our eventual deaths, therefore focusing on what truly matters. Thanks for addressing this important topic! God bless🙏
Although I am not looking forward to sickness and pain, I can see death as a friend. Mind you, I love life very much..., but (and this may sound strange to some people) I am also looking forward to what comes next. You are absolutely right about prayer. The first two lines from the hymn: Did You Think To Pray? "Ere you left your room this morning, Did you think to pray?" I hope you made many people think.
Over the years I've watched all of your videos. In my opinion, this is one of your best, as I've watched it several times already. It really makes me think more and more, especially what you said at the beginning and at the end about expecting the tomorrow that will never come. God bless you!
Thank you for this Elisabeth! You have certainly touched on some very profound thoughts. God has certainly given you a wonderful gift of communication and it has been coupled with wisdom. May His peace be always with you! 🙂🙏
Incredible video, great job! It had been a while since your last video so it was really nice seeing you again. I have a question for you loosely related. If you knew you were dying, what would be your last meal?
I can't help but love this video! Your message is so simple, and so relevant to every person, no matter how old they are or even if they are not religious. You have 'brought Jesus' to people,' with your words. God bless you, and your ministry! ✝️
8:22 “God will never tempt you beyond your strength” I think it is more accurate to say that God will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength, because God does not tempt people. James 1:13-15 “When you are tempted to do wrong, do not say, “God is tempting me.” God cannot be tempted. He will never tempt anyone. A man is tempted to do wrong when he lets himself be led by what his bad thoughts tell him to do. When he does what his bad thoughts tell him to do, he sins. When sin completes its work, it brings death.” God bless you for this video!
Also, where I think Elisabeth went off the top of her head 😅 1 Cor 10:13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. *God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability,* but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
For a while, I had the top five regrets of the dying as my phone wallpaper. It really got me to stop using my phone and do something more productive/valuable to me...
I liked how this video transgressed secular boundaries. Jesus taught that spiritual concerns were more important than physical... Blessed are the hungry... Fear not man who can maim your body, but fear God who can dam your soul for eternity
How do you love someone you fear? That is one of the those paradoxes of Christianity for which if I can’t find an answer I simply can’t believe, not to mention all my other doubts.
Great video, thank you. A couple of of observations: Regarding the second reason, we should not seek God to be ready for death, but because loving God is the reason we are on this earth, and doing so will make us truly happy. We should therefore seek him now. Regarding the overwork regret, it probably refers to a regret over misplaced priorities. At the end of the day, some people regret that they prioritized material wealth over other things like relationships. We should keep in mind that work is not the only endeavor we commonly over prioritize. We can also focus too much on hobbies, indulging in activities that give us superficial pleasure like eating, parties. We would much rather discover this sooner than later, that is why it pays to pray and meditate even for a short period each day about what we did and will do and how it aligns with what we truly value.
Nunc et in hora mortis nostrae… One of your best videos!! Luv it! Et in arcadia ego! By all means, confess your crush! Your work keeps getting better. Ausgezeichnet!
_This is why I like European women. They're a lot more Educated and caring then Americans. I'm not even a religious person but your Mother and Father did a really good job in raising you._
The number of crushes being exposed in the comment section was diluted down to zero by your comment, "I personally don't think that all crushes need to be confessed." 🤣
I was going to say, if you are a man who has a crush on a woman, ANY woman, NEVER confess your feelings unless you specifically want to destroy what relationship you do have with her.
@@stephenbaldassarre2289 I would never say Never. If you have built a relationship as great friends and see her as God sees her (as her daughter), then if you have feelings that she may be someone you would feel blessed to call your wife. Someone, you believe will help you get to heaven (and you better believe YOU are capable of getting her to heaven), then you should tell her...
@abeatingheart That's how I lost one of my best friends. Everybody said we were great together or even thought we were a couple, she's a good Christian etc. I know many other guys who had similar experiences.
@@stephenbaldassarre2289 Have faith in God's plan. She might had been the most incredible person, but she was not the person God had in mind for you.

It is easier said than done and I'm also working through it myself. Take heart and know there are people out there who love you and more importantly God loves you. So much so that He has a plan for you, even if we can't see it or makes any sense (imagine how the blind person felt when Jesus rubbed mud on his eyes). In the end, just like the blind man, God made a way...

I have found the true faith that is catholic, and I will always try to remember these points. Thank you. Now, I would like God to fulfill my other wishes, that is a (good paying) profession, a wife and kids. I think, or at least I hope that I will be happy then.....right now I'm doing pottery and decoration, it is an artistic trade, but it doesn't earn me much money, and that is also important in life that you can provide your family with everything that they need to have a happy life.
Depends on what you mean by forgiveness because on God's end of the stick, He always forgives no matter what. However, if you don't accept it and aren't changed by it from within, then it doesn't take effect and becomes worthless enough to cause eternal damnation.
People always say, If you truly believed the Bible, you would evangelize 24/7. Well, do you believe you will die, Mr or Ms Atheist? Are you living like you will die?
The idea of regular prayers, just in case, is not only for atheists, but also for Christians. Just in case Brahma or Allah is a true God, highly recommend regular prayers to all Gods of all religions. It is a good idea to keep an open mind to the existence of those Gods anyway and pray to them to reveal themselves.
You missed the entire point of Christianity then. The concept you proposed and “recommended” is not only fallacious from a theological point of view, but also fails logically. Christianity and Islam are monotheistic religions, both rejecting each other as false religions and promoting different views on God, like the Trinity in Christianity and Tawheed in Islam. The believe in God isn’t an insurance policy you made for your own sake, living a pluralistic life out of fear or uncertainty. Why bother even being a Christian then if you’re open to affirm religions that contradict your own beliefs? This is pluralistic relativism that will get you nowhere, except spiritual confusion. “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except trough me”(John 14:6) or “I am the Lord, and there is no other”(Isaiah 45:5) perfectly demonstrates being Christian and praying to false deities from time to time for own reassurance is neither compatible nor is it logically coherent. “Im Christian, but hey, let me make a short prayer to Moloch and other pagan deities, just to make sure”. As I said, treating faith and prayer like a cosmic insurance is nonsense. I hope you find your way to Jesus Christ.
@@The_Confessor42 You are correct, but you misunderstood the point of the comment - it was a sarcasm. If atheists should pray contrary to their belief (like it was suggested in the video), thus should also christians pray to the contrary to their belief. Does is sounds ridiculous? Of course.
@ Even when the comment was meant to be sarcastic, the comparison between Atheism and Christianity is still flawed, they’re not parallel systems of belief. Atheists are in a state of disbelief, therefore praying, if it’s genuine, is seen as exploring possibilities, not betraying their belief in science or empiricism but seeing it as incomplete. As I already claimed in my previous comment, this would be incompatible with Christianity because it would contradict the core beliefs. You could’ve used clear and coherent language to address the problem of these “just in case prayers”, instead of sarcastically proposing something absurd, without giving the implication of sarcasm. I’ve seen enough people being absolutely serious in proposing nonsense, and even more that would follow these ideas blindly.
@@The_Confessor42 From the atheist point of view, praying is irrational. What if, hypothetically, God is a rational being and he value rationality above irrationality. In that case, irrational belief and praying would be affront to such God and rational disbelief would be rewarded. Than, rational atheist would go to heaven and irrational believers will go to hell.
@ It’s self evident that atheists see praying as irrational, I didn’t deny that. I’m talking about atheistic individuals who are genuinely intrigued by the question whether God really exists or not. Not every atheist is like Richard Dawkins. It’s either wasting five minutes of your life talking to nothing, or being a step closer to God, through guidance and grace. Your hypothetical scenario adds nothing to the discussion.
Thoughtful analysis, but the Scriptures of the Apostles are clear that all our works merit us nothing but death, wholly being opposed to grace (and thus making us wholly incapable of receiving grace through them), as St. Paul states in Romans 11:6. That's why we incapable and hopeless sinners need Christ's free gift offered to us, which is not a religion (earned) but the cross (unearned, being a gift). Christians have peace in Christ which makes us the church. God richly bless you (and Christmas blessings to you and your family), and may you find that lasting peace and assurance in Christ Jesus our Lord. "And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification." (Romans 5:16, St. Paul) "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23, St. Paul)
Definitely not the most fear-mongering title and thumbnail I've seen. How about the numerous passages that claim that all will be saved one way or another? 1 Tim. 4:10 is an easy one but pretty much all of Romans 5 says enough. We already know from Scripture that God wants all to be saved, none to perish, and that He does what He desires... which is not the death of the wicked either. So... why wouldn't a universal salvation be the conclusion? Is "free will" the only crutch left here? I haven't even begun watching this video because it is already gives a repulsive impression. But while I can surely watch it (it's what I believed for a decade anyways), may I ask... Why *should* I watch this considering my belief system? Is it wrong? What makes it wrong?
FACT 0 (i.e., it precedes all the others): THERE IS NO DEVIL!!! It is an unnecessary concept unless you are irresponsible, and is tantamount to joining partners with God.
Heretical and Christ-replacing video: You either know Jesus by trusting in His FINISHED work on the cross in YOUR place, who is the ONLY mediator between God and man (not Mary, as Alphonsus Liguori heretically claims, contrary to the Apostle St. Paul in 1 Timothy 2:5) or you go to Hell. If you rely on any of your own merits to enter Heaven, you WILL go to Hell, no matter how good you think your religion/church is (as the Saviour is a Person, 1 Timothy 2:5, not a religion/church/self-identity). Jesus is Almighty to save you. Thus, no one else can save you but He, and you can do nothing to receive this from Him but by believing His words (Romans 4:5-6). You are not God, but He is.
The only heresy I see here are those distorted, anti-biblical arguments, based on typical individualistic theology that contradict both Scripture and 2000 years of tradition. As you rightfully pointed out, Jesus is indeed the sole mediator between God and man, but how does this exclude others from participating in his mediatorship trough him? Interesting is that you cited 1 Tim 2:5 but seemingly ignore 1 Tim 2:1-4 where St. Paul explicitly ask for intercessory prayer for all men. Applying this logic would result in absurdity, because asking somebody to pray for you would result in replacing Christs mediatorship. All intercession, whether by saints, Mary or living Christian’s are subordinate and united to Jesus as the sole mediator between God and men. Interestingly, the only place where the Bible explicitly mentions “Faith alone” is in James 2:24. “You see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?”. Faith is the foundation, and our works the fruits of it. John 15:1-8 clearly speaks of bearing fruits to remain in him. The statement “The saviour is a person, not a religion or a Church” is extremely fallacious, because it again contradicts not only Scripture itself, but also church history. The Bible was compiled by the church, “the pillar and ground of the truth” 1 Tim 3:15. Where exactly does the Bible say that scripture alone is the only authority? You are attacking catholic and orthodox theology without fully comprehending it. Not only did these arguments failed to refute the positions, but they also backfired massively. As I said, this is the result of individualistic theology/interpretation and selective reading, which only leads to doctrinal confusion. I advise you to continue studying church history, theology and the Bible. May God guide you to the truth.
Yet another either/ if set up, shouldn't you contemplate your own salvation with fear and trembling as recommended by St. Paul? RC's are aware that Jesus is our Savior, we are also aware that Jesus didn't leave us the NT but left us a fledgling church, the Apostolic churches have survived until this day and we practice what the early Christians practiced. Do you?
@@tco13vNo, you don’t. Every Christian who thinks their rites and ceremonies are original is historically conceited. The evidence shows that none of you practices the faith as it was in the first century. Hubris apparently knows no bounds.
@@ManoverSuperman What apostolic churches practice are the evolution of our liturgical rites, what you state is true, but is it the whole picture over 2000 years? No it is not.
The mind is boggled how anyone finds this kind of belief system healthy. They might see it as being willing to face ugly truths, but I see it as a desire for self-repression and annihilation.
@PopleBackyardFarm Amen, fellow saint: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, HATH everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but IS passed from death unto life." - John 5:24
@patricial.321 Calling the Apostles heretics, Christ-replacer? "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." - Romans 10:9 (Saint Paul the Apostle)
Jordan Peterson would be one of the biggest influencers today in getting people who would normally reject Christianity to consider reading the bible. He may not be a Christian but he is certainly influencing others to be.
@@martynmettam9296 And? When they read the Bible? They will see where the Bible talks about people who teach things they ought not teach, for shameful gain? People who treat the congregation like merchandise? Those people are to be marked and avoided? Well I have already read the Bible so I already know people like Jordan should be silenced. Don't blame me for already knowing what the Bible says.
This is one of your best videos. I plan on watching a few times a week to remind myself of death, and what I need to do. May God bless you Lisbeth!
Trusting in the One that has done, not
in what you should do, is the only way to avoid Hell (with certainty, as Christ Almighty promised):
"Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye BELIEVE on HIM (on Him, a Person, not on a religion/church/self-identity) whom he hath sent." - John 6:28-29
"And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which SEETH the Son, and BELIEVETH on him (on Him, a Person, not on a religion/church), may have everlasting life: and I WILL raise him up at the last day." - John 6:40
"Now to him that worketh is the reward NOT reckoned of GRACE, but of debt. But to him that WORKETH NOT, but BELIEVEth on HIM that justifieth the ungodly, his FAITH is counted for RIGHTEOUSNESS. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness WITHOUT WORKS" - Romans 4:5-6 (Saint Paul the Apostle)

When sin completes its work, it brings death.”

I’ve seen enough people being absolutely serious in proposing nonsense, and even more that would follow these ideas blindly.
@@The_Confessor42 From the atheist point of view, praying is irrational. What if, hypothetically, God is a rational being and he value rationality above irrationality. In that case, irrational belief and praying would be affront to such God and rational disbelief would be rewarded. Than, rational atheist would go to heaven and irrational believers will go to hell.
@ It’s self evident that atheists see praying as irrational, I didn’t deny that. I’m talking about atheistic individuals who are genuinely intrigued by the question whether God really exists or not. Not every atheist is like Richard Dawkins. It’s either wasting five minutes of your life talking to nothing, or being a step closer to God, through guidance and grace. Your hypothetical scenario adds nothing to the discussion.
Thoughtful analysis, but the Scriptures of the Apostles are clear that all our works merit us nothing but death, wholly being opposed to grace (and thus making us wholly incapable of receiving grace through them), as St. Paul states in Romans 11:6. That's why we incapable and hopeless sinners need Christ's free gift offered to us, which is not a religion (earned) but the cross (unearned, being a gift). Christians have peace in Christ which makes us the church.
God richly bless you (and Christmas blessings to you and your family), and may you find that lasting peace and assurance in Christ Jesus our Lord.
"And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification." (Romans 5:16, St. Paul)
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
(Romans 6:23, St. Paul)
Better not Love God and neighbour then, don't care for the poor, sick, orphaned, widowed and imprisoned- sounds like work huh?
exelente video
Ich hab gesündigt, komm ich trotzdem in den Himmel?
Wenn du wirklich bereust und zur Beichte gehst, ja❤
Lasse, alle Menschen sündigen. Die Frage ist, ob man es bereut und sich bessern will :)
Is it just me or does that thumbnail look like a younger, AI generated Ed Dutton?
Is this from a Catholic point of view?
Memento mori 💀
Definitely not the most fear-mongering title and thumbnail I've seen.
How about the numerous passages that claim that all will be saved one way or another?
1 Tim. 4:10 is an easy one but pretty much all of Romans 5 says enough.
We already know from Scripture that God wants all to be saved, none to perish, and that He does what He desires... which is not the death of the wicked either. So... why wouldn't a universal salvation be the conclusion? Is "free will" the only crutch left here?
I haven't even begun watching this video because it is already gives a repulsive impression.
But while I can surely watch it (it's what I believed for a decade anyways), may I ask...
Why *should* I watch this considering my belief system? Is it wrong? What makes it wrong?
I am one of those Austrians who dropped out of law! 😅 Es war einfach nicht das Richtige für mich!
FACT 0 (i.e., it precedes all the others): THERE IS NO DEVIL!!! It is an unnecessary concept unless you are irresponsible, and is tantamount to joining partners with God.
Jesus Christ of Nazareth...
Heretical and Christ-replacing video: You either know Jesus by trusting in His FINISHED work on the cross in YOUR place, who is the ONLY mediator between God and man (not Mary, as Alphonsus Liguori heretically claims, contrary to the Apostle St. Paul in 1 Timothy 2:5) or you go to Hell. If you rely on any of your own merits to enter Heaven, you WILL go to Hell, no matter how good you think your religion/church is (as the Saviour is a Person, 1 Timothy 2:5, not a religion/church/self-identity).
Jesus is Almighty to save you. Thus, no one else can save you but He, and you can do nothing to receive this from Him but by believing His words (Romans 4:5-6). You are not God, but He is.
The only heresy I see here are those distorted, anti-biblical arguments, based on typical individualistic theology that contradict both Scripture and 2000 years of tradition. As you rightfully pointed out, Jesus is indeed the sole mediator between God and man, but how does this exclude others from participating in his mediatorship trough him? Interesting is that you cited 1 Tim 2:5 but seemingly ignore 1 Tim 2:1-4 where St. Paul explicitly ask for intercessory prayer for all men. Applying this logic would result in absurdity, because asking somebody to pray for you would result in replacing Christs mediatorship. All intercession, whether by saints, Mary or living Christian’s are subordinate and united to Jesus as the sole mediator between God and men. Interestingly, the only place where the Bible explicitly mentions “Faith alone” is in James 2:24. “You see that by works a man is justified; and not by faith only?”. Faith is the foundation, and our works the fruits of it. John 15:1-8 clearly speaks of bearing fruits to remain in him. The statement “The saviour is a person, not a religion or a Church” is extremely fallacious, because it again contradicts not only Scripture itself, but also church history. The Bible was compiled by the church, “the pillar and ground of the truth” 1 Tim 3:15. Where exactly does the Bible say that scripture alone is the only authority? You are attacking catholic and orthodox theology without fully comprehending it. Not only did these arguments failed to refute the positions, but they also backfired massively. As I said, this is the result of individualistic theology/interpretation and selective reading, which only leads to doctrinal confusion. I advise you to continue studying church history, theology and the Bible. May God guide you to the truth.
Yet another either/ if set up, shouldn't you contemplate your own salvation with fear and trembling as recommended by St. Paul? RC's are aware that Jesus is our Savior, we are also aware that Jesus didn't leave us the NT but left us a fledgling church, the Apostolic churches have survived until this day and we practice what the early Christians practiced. Do you?
@@tco13vNo, you don’t. Every Christian who thinks their rites and ceremonies are original is historically conceited. The evidence shows that none of you practices the faith as it was in the first century. Hubris apparently knows no bounds.
@@tco13vYou do not practice what the first century Christians practiced either. Anyone who thinks their rites are original is historically wrong.
@@ManoverSuperman What apostolic churches practice are the evolution of our liturgical rites, what you state is true, but is it the whole picture over 2000 years? No it is not.
pathetic clickbait taking advantage of old scared people approaching death. You have no dignity
A victim defending its abuser, your faith is truly wicked.
The mind is boggled how anyone finds this kind of belief system healthy. They might see it as being willing to face ugly truths, but I see it as a desire for self-repression and annihilation.
Are you married?
Know that moment that you actually accepted Jesus as Lord so you know you go to heaven
that's a protestant heresy. The early Christians never believed that.
@PopleBackyardFarm Amen, fellow saint: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, HATH everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but IS passed from death unto life." - John 5:24
@patricial.321 Calling the Apostles heretics, Christ-replacer? "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." - Romans 10:9 (Saint Paul the Apostle)
@@gunstar168 you can be believer and still mortally sin and not go to heaven.
@@patricial.321So you are saved by your deeds then?
I'm not about to start taking advice from Jordan Peterson about it.
Jordan Peterson would be one of the biggest influencers today in getting people who would normally reject Christianity to consider reading the bible. He may not be a Christian but he is certainly influencing others to be.
@@martynmettam9296 And? When they read the Bible? They will see where the Bible talks about people who teach things they ought not teach, for shameful gain? People who treat the congregation like merchandise?
Those people are to be marked and avoided? Well I have already read the Bible so I already know people like Jordan should be silenced. Don't blame me for already knowing what the Bible says.
I find the idea of most people damned to be insane, I find this idea profoundly sadistic. Why create life knowing most people will go to Hell?
As I said, we don't know how many will be saved. It could technically be all... It's just unwise to act like everyone will be saved
Why have a furnace if you aren't going to use it?
The path to heaven isn’t “narrow and narrow”, -- the path to heaven is “narrow and difficult.” -
