I'm a developing Christian artist and seeing you guys work on the bible project is so inspiring.. it'll be a dream come through to work with or aid you guys in the future
I would put that God invite us to have a godly heart. "Image of God" are for those who are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. The sinner is the image of Adam, corrupted and spiritually dead. Since the fall of humanity in Genesis 3.
@@davipenha Every human is made in the image of God. Those are are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ are then called children of God. John 1:12-13 American Standard Version (ASV) But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
@@ebuggs212 Correct... that's the whole point of why Jesus tells us to love and forgive our enemies. We're really not supposed to treat people differently based on whether or not we think they are good or bad.
😂 THIS, this is why humanity is crumbling. This is why criminals and homeless drug addicts have free reign. How about some people are just pure trash. 🤙
I repent for being angry at my family for thinking that they're utterly useless since they can't help me with anything in life...they still have have value as human beings. Lord, help me believe that in my heart.
Halleluja! Repentance is step 1, the next step is forgiveness. I know this can be very hard to do, but I really want to encourage you to do it. A few years ago I forgave someone who did something really really bad to me. A few hours later God spoke to me so clear the words "I'm so proud of you". I could not stop crying for a few hours after that. I still get goosebumps when I think of it.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! We are honored that you are inspired by our resources. If you're interested, here's a behind-the-scenes look from a few years ago when we created the Overview videos: d1bsmz3sdihplr.cloudfront.net/media/Quarterlies_Other%20Downloads/TBPq_002_digital.pdf I hope this helps you get started!
You guys!!!! This is genius level!!! To be able to visually animate The Word of God in such a brilliant understandable way. It’s visual poetry. I’m only 3 mins in. Oh my when the little man lusts after the woman and turns her into a literal object!? And He gets the revelation that her body and soul is more than just something for him to use, like an object… That was so powerful! You guys at the Bible Project are so amazing! I also loved how you visually showed the marriage covent as a string the man was still tethered to even though the wife he discarded was nowhere close to him. It showed that God was wanting men when they choose a wife to be diligent and sure, not just because she was someone beautiful they wanted to sleep with and then eventually move on with. Again God doesn’t want us to think of people as objects, objects you replace and upgrade when you see a new model. God wants us to look at the soul of the human we are choosing to connect with and make sure it’s one that we want to team up with for life. We both get to choose, but we must choose wisely, or just be single. When you just settle because you don’t want to be alone, you’ll want a divorce because the grass will always seem greener somewhere else. I am just geeking out. I love how the animator Josh said he made the choice of the widow having an inner world and and outer world. So deep because we are spiritual being having a physical experience. I think back to scripture where it says but Jesus didn’t trust the men because He could see their hearts. How people think they present themselves one way but are another way, sometimes you can overtly see it, and sometimes you can’t see the evil hidden in their thoughts. But God knows our thoughts and our hearts. So someone who can present themselves as a frail little old lady doesn’t fool God because He can see how big the contempt, anger, wrath and lack of value she has for others. Jesus sees past the mask. Our outer shell. These fleshly bodies are just rentals to contain our spirits. ✨✨✨
Thanks for taking the time to share how you've been impacted by this episode. We are grateful for your encouragement and kind words. We are so happy that we can be a resource for you!
I agree, this level of work is amazing, i wish i could do some good content as this, but well right now the IA gives you de opportunity to do a great quality videos, even for those without resources as to do a such good level project,
The answer is "yes". Anger, however justified, should not be cultivated as it begets a cycle of violence. Seek justice and righteousness. Be slow to anger and quick to forgive. Love God and treat others as you wish to be treated.
I love this and how you used the word cultivated. Thank you very much. It helped me to refocue and reimagined a angst that I had justified in a way that is more fruitful to me and everyone else around me. Godspeed to you and your family.
@@ignacio1088 Yes. Yes, it does. But it's a very broad group you made here. Ethnicity is one thing. People that dont look like one another and come from different places. No reason to even discuss. But when you bring sexual immorality into the discussion, love and acceptance are two different things. Care for people, be kind to people, be loving to people, to ALL people, but sometimes, the most loving, and kind, thing to do is telling someone that: Though you love them and are there for whatever care they need, and will treat them with dignity, the ways in wich they violate the will of God will not lead to ultimate satisfaction, or to eternal life, but the same wrath of God that lies in the fornicator, the liar, the one that looks to lust, and all us when we were in our sins, and all of humanity without Christ, lies on them, because of their immorality. But God has His arms stretched and is mighty to save, come as you are, and expect to be changed by the spirit. I have no idea when we decided, as a culture, that love means acceptance of behaviour that leads to a bad conclusion. In conclusion, love is not spiteful, but it can be stern in it's kindness.
@@ignacio1088 I can tell something is troubled in your heart by you asking this. May God soften it. But, to answer your question. Yes. All humans regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, or sexual preference are worthy of love and respect for they to are made in the image of God.
God bless you, dear brother/sister. Seek the Lord first in all things, no matter what it is, and He will educate you, and send His children to you to help you on your path. :)
What did you just fall out of a coconut tree? You know Jesus said pray in private right? So that you don’t put in airs to look righteous before others.
@Brando550 in my church, the pastor always ends the service with the apostolic blessing from 2 Corinthians 13:13: The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. I think this is a good alternative to the priestly blessing (may the Lord bless you...), of Numbers 6:22-27.
Cutting to the heart of the matter is what Jesus did best. No one gets out without being salted by the fire of righteousness that is Jesus the Christ. Love you guys and always grateful for everything that you do to help get these amazing truths across🔔❤️🔔
Thanks for sharing! Delicately, if I’m understanding your comment the way I think you’re communicating, all being salted by the fire of righteousness before getting out would mean that all would receive and follow Jesus, living as righteously as we can in a sinful state in imitation of Christ, which isn’t true. Only those who receive Jesus and abide in God (learn, obey, and teach God’s commands) will receive salvation and be transformed spiritually, and thus also physically. Jesus didn’t come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. Fulfilling it doesn’t mean that all who simply believe in Him will receive Him, but that He fulfilled the requirement for perfect eye-for-eye atonement: - 1 man brought condemnation on all - 1 man brought salvation to all so that all MIGHT receive it (Romans 12:9). As God calls us to be imitators of Him as He is of Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1), we are still held to the Law (Matthew 5). 🤪
Quite literally a radical. What is a potentially enlightening mind game is the thought that since Jesus was crucified for his conduct back then, we can assume that if he lived in our times, he would meet a similar fate, provided he was here incognito. We can learn from various other case studies that the well-established existence of the christian faith in today's world would not be a safeguards against that, but that such a radical path will always create enemies, probably even more so the more you preach love and peace since nothing terrifies the Devil in people as much as that prospect.
Lifelong atheist with no plans on changing that…. but I enjoy these videos and they’ve helped me over the years develop a healthier relationships with Christians in my life and the Christian faith in general. I wish more of the popular dialogue on faith focused on public good in the way this channel does, thank you
I am curious as to how the conversation will go when your time in this life comes to an end and you die. When you are standing in front of Christ saying, “I don’t believe you exist”, I wonder what the reply will be.
Hey. Just passing by to say, God's love is really not a metaphor. And He really has his arm extended to you. I was an atheist also, learning to trust in the clear, visible, empirical and controlable. But the moment you give up on your own capability, is when the Savior comes. Eternity is a long time. Please, think about this with utmost importance. Not the thing you would like to discover being worng about when it's too late.
How do you know you don’t like sweet potatoes? You have to try them before you can say if you like them or don’t. Similar with God, He says “Taste and see”! In psalm 33 & 34 (if I remember correctly) You have Never Tasted ! Please try…. you won’t regret it! What do you have to lose? Why do you think there are so many Jesus freaks in the world? Opening up to the spiritual world is Amazing, you don’t know what your missing. 🙏🏻✝️
This is by far the most beautiful episode up to now! Oh, that we could just learn to live this way, and treat everyone as the image of God! Lord, have mercy on us. Teach us to live this way. May your kingdom come.
Yeah that anger one hit me. I felt the conviction and I can totally see how it can bring you to doing the worst when you're in the state of mind. And then it brings me to forgiveness. But I'm still working on it and praying for God to soften my heart while setting boundaries.
I love the fact that this video went out how Jesus viewed women as people instead of objects and how he made men aware of their actions to do better and not view women as objects and to treat them as equals.
I received a dream about this after asking God to give me new eyes to see these sins. Immediately got uncontrollably tired, fell asleep, and God showed me through an instructing warning type of terrifying dream. When I woke up He made me know that I know that I know it was from Him and He showed me through my already open Bible as soon as I woke up. It was open right to these sins in Mathew during His sermon on the mount.
I’m going through the hardest season of my life, and I can’t stop being so angry. I’m angry with myself, my kids, God, I’m angry. It’s rotting me from the inside. I don’t even recognize myself anymore. I pray to Jesus and beg and scream for change. I’m just lost. Idk what to do anymore.
Hey brother, First let me say, you are not alone. I also have felt a very similar thing in my heart. There might be a reason for that anger but most importantly is, are you surrendering that anger to God? I ask because every time I feel this anger, it only gets better surrendering it to God. To be honest, sometimes it takes longer for it to go away completely than others. All I know is that I feel as God works it out little by little and starts revealing things he wanted me to see. I hope this helps you brother and I pray God guides you through any attack of anger in Jesus name, Amen. John 14:12-14, 21, 23, 27 ESV [12] “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. [13] Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. [14] If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it. [21] Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” [23] Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. [27] Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
@@marlonm.2820 I really appreciate the time you took to write me man. Life took me thousands of miles away from everyone I know and love, and while I appreciate solitude, it’s hard to get out of my head. Thank you brother! 🙏 feel like I’m losing it sometimes and I just don’t want to scare my baby girls. Lotta stress being a single dad w full custody and no family in the area. I’m giving it to Him right now!
Hey man. I can't even imagine how hard that can be. Please find rest in Jesus. He says come to me all who are heavy laden and I will give you rest. I pray you truly find rest for your soul in Him. You are loved brother
I’ll pray for you brother. I hope the lords fills you with the fruits of his spirit! I pray you find peace and joy this evening. Watch the video “Chandler Testimony” and I hope you find peace.
I hope that one day, the current generations will utilize your videos to educate future generations, transcending all doctrines, in combating hyperreligiosity, gaining a deeper comprehension of the Bible, its diverse themes, and its iconic characters. Moreover, your videos will shed light on God's plan, fulfilled through Jesus, Christians, and all individuals of goodwill. Thank you for instilling both inspiration and knowledge within us.💗
The thing is that Jesus brought forth these ideas earlier, in a time and place where the language and culture would have been easily understood. He also added real-life examples, in his own walk through his life, yet we still continued with the same hearts of stone. It takes the transformation brought about by the Holy Spirit to soften our hearts, and to make us truly able to 'hear and do'. We should continue to pray that the Holy Spirit will guide us in our daily lives.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It's great to hear our resources are impacting you in such a meaningful way. We appreciate you and your encouragement.
@@Rockjamify Undoubtedly, despite the teachings and exemplary conduct of Jesus, humanity often faces a formidable challenge in authentically reforming its innermost convictions and aligning its actions with these profound principles. Nevertheless, I posit that a genuine comprehension of the divine can empower countless individuals to apprehend the profound implications of Christ's message."
I am sobbing right now.. How much I murdered people with my act, Anger, Jealousy and Mistreated😭😭😭😭😭. Thank you Jesus for Your Words and also thank you Bible Project❤️🩹
To say that you won’t think sexual thoughts about another person (other than your spouse) or not be angry with someone in any way makes the concept of repentance moot-as is the case with everyone else. We will always be murderers and adulterers to God.
@@rickybobby9797 Just wanted to say that God's love is greater than any sin of the world. Jesus bore the consequences of all our sins and wants us to have a genuine heart of repentance. While we are always going to fall short of God's glory, Jesus wants us to turn from sin every time and to turn to Him and trust His ways. There is a difference between trying (at the very least) to turn from sin and deliberately sin which causes us to separate from God. Father, I pray that we continuously learn to submit to You, help us overcome every temptation, in Jesus' name, Amen.
Wow. I use to see these videos and just merely pass them by. But today, i decided to give it a chance. I am in awe. You guys really work hard in explaining God's Word. And the animation is incredible. Thank you BibleProject, may God continue to bless you all🙏
Can you guys one day explain Exodus 4:24-26? It is a very confusing passage and I feel like many people would benefit from having an explanation of its context and meaning.
Great question! We've responded to this in two podcasts, most recently in 2022. You can find our response to the question beginning at the 37:46 mark of this podcast: bibleproject.com/podcast/did-god-try-kill-moses/
@@HarryNicNicholas What part of this passage interests you? The story of the two sisters is an allegory about the people of Israel pursuing after other gods. There isn't much reason to be a widely taught story.
Jesus Christ loves you so much that He died on the cross for your sins. I Pray that you receive this message and start to live for Him. May you find Him and start to read The Bible! You can be made new because you can be covered in The Precious Blood Of Jesus Christ.
You were never holding God up so you can’t let Him down. The fact of the matter is, God knew you before you were even conceived. He knew your struggles and all before you even got here. All He needs is you to turn to Him and move away from sin because He will help you. There is never a temptation that you cannot overcome, He says so. ❤❤God bless
I really appreciate the bonus footage at the end. Helps give perspective to how much work goes into every second. Also hearing from the animator helps make a human connection to the art. Each part of the body is essential to the whole body. Thanks guys, much love and peace
Just want to say appreciate the effort Bible Project is putting into the Kingdom and specifically how you guys are making it easy to be childlike, praise the Lord and praying you may continue to walk in the anointing and grace of God to do the good work! 😃
Wow!!! Even though I know these scriptures so well and the point Jesus was trying to convey and yet this explanation was so beautifully presented. From the script to the animation I am just blown away.
This reminds me of a excerpt from a required read in high school: “there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. When you kill a man, you steal a life... you steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness... there is no act more wretched than stealing.” ― Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner
I really give my thanks to Josh if he sees this and any other animators there because of all that work you do I get to better learn and understand the story so my thanks to them for all their hard work
Jesus God please forgive me for my anger and cursing thoughts im guilty and im sorry i have come to this and i ask for forgiveness in you’re name Jesus Christ Amen Amen
I am repent from anger and lust . Truly anger is not good .forgive my sins Lord Jesus Christ. Please cleanse my Heart. Help me to overcame this anger and lust sins. Iam redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus christ Amen
Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Jesus was angry when he walked in His temple...He flipped the moneychangers table! His house is a house of prayer!!!! AMEN!!
We can trust Jesus with being angry where we cannot trust ourselves. The "Be angry but don't sin,don't let the sun go down on your anger" is Paul exact quoting Psalm 4:4 in the Greek translation . ""When you are disturbed, do not sin ponder it on your beds, and be silent" NRSV. From the Hebrew which has no command to be angry
Yup, people are getting it wrong. We need the spirit of Christ to understand that message. Jesus was exposing the idea of self righteous because the pharisees were all about keeping the law. So it broke them to hear Jesus even raising the standard. That was to expose the truth of needing a savior than a new set of rules to follow. Simply put, if indeed anyone would then go ahead and implement the wisdom and law that Jesus ascribed to, then we wouldn't need a Savior. The call is to the fullness of Christ in us and coming to the full knowledge of God, as that's his Desire. Once we've learnt to accept the Christ, and the gift of righteousness- we will effortlessly find Joy in living right. For then we will be doing it because we are already justified[New identity], not trying to get justified.
@@Liminalplace1We can also trust ourselves to be angry and NOT sin. With the help of the Holy Sprit. I get angry with my children with their disobedience but that anger doesn't cause me to sin. I get angry with seeing "pride" parades but that anger doesn't cause me to sin. Along with many other sinful things I see.
There's a righteous anger even our Heavenly Father have righteous anger. But an unforgiving unrelenting anger is so bad not only hurts us but our Heavenly Father as well.😊
I think the world needs a series like this. It's a novel way to re-visit the Sermon on the Mount. Earnestly looking forward to the next episode. God willing. ❤
Your discussion helped me understand the characterizations: I, too, see how outwardly I appear "OK," but my inner character seems more like that of the widow. This helped me better see myself as God sees me - and better understand the Sermon on the Mount. Thanks, guys!
Thank you, Josh, for your hard work and artistry! I'll always prefer art made by God's image bearers to things produced by AI, without love and inspiration. May God continue to help artists flourish and to allow the rest of humanity to benefit! ❤
Ya'll do a great job, love the way you interpret the Bible. It feels honest and out of love. Something thats hard to find in Bible teachers these days. You used the wisdom of God and not your own
@@flakamulata it takes strength to judge righteously, to hate evil without dishonoring others, and to be forgiving. But that sort of strength is only found in, and comes from, the Lord. I suppose that's what they meant by it.
I never get angry at other people, but when im by myself, and im stressed out about one thing or another, and suddnenly things start going to crap, every little thing starts getting to me and man im so guilty of anger, I screw up so bad sometimes, may the lord have mercy on me and you too.
I keep failing Him. Over and over and over and over...I feel lost and hopeless, like I'll never change or repent. But I don't want to live like this either.
Don't lose hope, He promised to deliver us. The power of His love is greater than the power of sin, this is evident in your being convicted. You only need keep seeking, and you shall surely find, in the mighty name of JESUS CHRIST, amen.
have faith, I often struggle as well; is like building a tower of blocks to later be destroyed, at some point I have felt the pointlessness of starting again and again. But be patient, and don't mind starting again and again, with love and joy you kill sin. Frustration and desperation always lead to sin.
Pray to God for help. He truly loves you. Jesus will and can be your savior to end your addictions. We all fail and sin. Don't be hard on yourself. The devil is a lie. God bless you! ❤
Thanks to Jesus, sin isn’t ours to kill or destroy. He has already defeated it on your behalf. Just fully submit to Him and His will for your life. Temptations and sin will keep coming. But He gives us power and the ability to stare it in the face, and say NO in the name of Jesus. He has abundant and never ending grace for you. He is not mad at you and He is not disappointed in you. He loves you more than anything and knows how hard it is to be tempted. Jesus HIMSELF was tempted in every way that we are, but He never sinned. Lean into Him for wisdom in how to say no to the sin. In Jesus name! He is with you!!
This was my favourite episode yet 🙌🙏the imagery/animation was beyond beautiful, wow, big ups to the team🙏 I saw these texts in a completely new light, God bless you
I thought this video was well done. Jesus was teaching us that outward actions are manifestations of what's going on inwardly. If we take care of the inward issues of hate, lust, & objectifying others, then it will never turn into the outward actions of murder, adultery, & divorcing for the wrong reason.
Anger is a God given emotion. (We can be angry at the murder of a child.). It’s not bad at itself. It’s what you do with anger can determine if it’s a sin or not. 1. You can spew it 2. Hold it in 3. Study it Studying it is the only healthy and Godly way. Understand why and how to deal with it.
Thanks Bible Project team! That is amazing to realize that every second of animation requires a LOT of drawings!! Thank you for all you do to help us all understand the Bible better and know, follow and love Jesus better ❤🎉
Anger & Murder: I don't care if you're a human being, you're beneath me, and I can lash out at any perceived slight towards me to any degree I want! Lust & Adultery: You exist for my personal pleasure. The Divorce Debate: I'm going to throw you away like a worn-out scarf, even though I made a promise that I would stand by you, love, you, and care for you forever. (This last part used to vex me considerably, and I would ask things like "what about cases in which someone is being abusive", but I get the point now!) All of them: You are lesser/different from me, and that gives me the right to do whatever I want to you.
The answer to the question of neglect or abuse at point 5:49 of the video is that Jesus said to love your wife as christ loved the church (ie, willing to sacrifice everything even your own life to keep her as long as what you do is not illegal or unbiblical). Also, you have to constantly ask yourself what would I want me to do if I were her (considering her experiences, knowledge, etc Luke 6:31).
Therefore, they are sins and the wife is to follow the biblical guidance on how to deal with it like with any other sin. 1)If someone offends you, tell them (Matt 18:16) but speak the truth (Eph 4:15) in love (ie patient, kind, gentle, etc 1 Cor 13); 2)After repeatedly (it has to be a number of times as listed in the bible) telling them, you can leave them and have nothing to do with them if they are unrepentant of their sin (keep in mind repent means to change one's mind. They don't have to change the behaviour but "by their fruits you will know them"). (Leaving in modern terms, this is called separation) 3) You cannot, however, divorce. You may never be able to have sex with anyone else again unless someone dies or participates in sexual immorality at which point, the marriage vow is then broken. Luckily, abusive people tend to also be impulsive and God has the power to free you from that marriage bond if the abusive spouse moves on because they cannot control themselves. Don't do a David, though. 4) Relevant to unmarried: this is why you should seek someone who already loves you as Christ loves the church and whom you can submit to in every regard (if you're a woman) and marry a woman who is willing to submit to you and whom you can love as Jesus loved the church. Not Rush and get to know them in varying circumstances including sharing all your oddities with them as Mary did with Joseph and listening to God's guidance
Thank yall. Really interested in this. Especially when Jesus connects lust to adultery and not fornication. Does that mean if we lust, we sin against our future spouse (if we are single)? What if we never marry?
This is a tough one for many people. It's not that we sin against a future spouse as much as against God, and ourselves. Jesus is directing us to love others, and lust is not loving others - it is entirely selfish. It should turn us from "how can I feel better by having this person/thing?" to "how can I help this person or others by what I choose to do?" instead.
Something I do personally is count the cost. If I'm looking at someone, I consider the financial cost of any thought that passes through my mind and/or suggests in my emotions which influence actions. For example, the financial cost of raising a family and providing for them.
I'm a developing Christian artist and seeing you guys work on the bible project is so inspiring.. it'll be a dream come through to work with or aid you guys in the future
I hope your dreams align with God's will for your life brother/sister God bless you and remember Jesus Loves You!!!
Hi there, I am looking for someone that can edit or make videos like this. if you are intestead send me your info so we can discuss the matters.
"God's wisdom invites us to honor the image of God in every person that we meet." ❤❤
I would put that God invite us to have a godly heart. "Image of God" are for those who are redeemed by the blood of Jesus Christ. The sinner is the image of Adam, corrupted and spiritually dead. Since the fall of humanity in Genesis 3.

@@bibleproject I'm a new Bible animator, any advice?
❤❤❤
I agree, this level of work is amazing, i wish i could do some good content as this, but well right now the IA gives you de opportunity to do a great quality videos, even for those without resources as to do a such good level project,
@@bibleprojectYour channel is great! Thanks 🙏 Many blessings❤
The answer is "yes". Anger, however justified, should not be cultivated as it begets a cycle of violence. Seek justice and righteousness. Be slow to anger and quick to forgive. Love God and treat others as you wish to be treated.
I love this and how you used the word cultivated. Thank you very much. It helped me to refocue and reimagined a angst that I had justified in a way that is more fruitful to me and everyone else around me. Godspeed to you and your family.
Does valuing everyone include blacks, gays, trans, Muslims, Jews, indigenous tribes, Mexicans??
Please be explicit.
Yes. Valuing everyone as they're all made in Gods image
@@ignacio1088 Yes. Yes, it does. But it's a very broad group you made here. Ethnicity is one thing. People that dont look like one another and come from different places. No reason to even discuss. But when you bring sexual immorality into the discussion, love and acceptance are two different things. Care for people, be kind to people, be loving to people, to ALL people, but sometimes, the most loving, and kind, thing to do is telling someone that: Though you love them and are there for whatever care they need, and will treat them with dignity, the ways in wich they violate the will of God will not lead to ultimate satisfaction, or to eternal life, but the same wrath of God that lies in the fornicator, the liar, the one that looks to lust, and all us when we were in our sins, and all of humanity without Christ, lies on them, because of their immorality. But God has His arms stretched and is mighty to save, come as you are, and expect to be changed by the spirit.
I have no idea when we decided, as a culture, that love means acceptance of behaviour that leads to a bad conclusion. In conclusion, love is not spiteful, but it can be stern in it's kindness.
@@ignacio1088 I can tell something is troubled in your heart by you asking this. May God soften it. But, to answer your question. Yes. All humans regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, or sexual preference are worthy of love and respect for they to are made in the image of God.
Lord cleanse my heart soul mind and body and help me control my anger and worldly desires. Thank you Lord for this video amen ❤
God bless you, dear brother/sister. Seek the Lord first in all things, no matter what it is, and He will educate you, and send His children to you to help you on your path. :)
Amen
What did you just fall out of a coconut tree?
You know Jesus said pray in private right? So that you don’t put in airs to look righteous before others.
IN JESUS NAME ❤
Amen
Reader: May the Lord bless you and keep you. May his face shine upon you and be gracious to you
May the Lord turn His face toward you, and give you peace 🕊️
my pastor at my previous church would say this at the end of every service. I think more churches should end their services with that blessing
Amen 🙏🏻 May it be so for you as well in Jesus' Precious Name 🙏🏻
Amen, and to everyone else as well
@Brando550 in my church, the pastor always ends the service with the apostolic blessing from 2 Corinthians 13:13:
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
I think this is a good alternative to the priestly blessing (may the Lord bless you...), of Numbers 6:22-27.
Cutting to the heart of the matter is what Jesus did best. No one gets out without being salted by the fire of righteousness that is Jesus the Christ. Love you guys and always grateful for everything that you do to help get these amazing truths across🔔❤️🔔
❤🎉❤
Thanks for sharing! Delicately, if I’m understanding your comment the way I think you’re communicating, all being salted by the fire of righteousness before getting out would mean that all would receive and follow Jesus, living as righteously as we can in a sinful state in imitation of Christ, which isn’t true. Only those who receive Jesus and abide in God (learn, obey, and teach God’s commands) will receive salvation and be transformed spiritually, and thus also physically. Jesus didn’t come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. Fulfilling it doesn’t mean that all who simply believe in Him will receive Him, but that He fulfilled the requirement for perfect eye-for-eye atonement:
- 1 man brought condemnation on all
- 1 man brought salvation to all so that all MIGHT receive it (Romans 12:9).
As God calls us to be imitators of Him as He is of Christ (1 Corinthians 11:1), we are still held to the Law (Matthew 5).
🤪
Quite literally a radical.
What is a potentially enlightening mind game is the thought that since Jesus was crucified for his conduct back then, we can assume that if he lived in our times, he would meet a similar fate, provided he was here incognito. We can learn from various other case studies that the well-established existence of the christian faith in today's world would not be a safeguards against that, but that such a radical path will always create enemies, probably even more so the more you preach love and peace since nothing terrifies the Devil in people as much as that prospect.
BIBLE PROJECT ARTWORK STAYS ON TOP!!!!!!!!!!!!
100%!!!!!
you misspelt Jesus
"Honor the image of God in every person we meet."
Lifelong atheist with no plans on changing that…. but I enjoy these videos and they’ve helped me over the years develop a healthier relationships with Christians in my life and the Christian faith in general. I wish more of the popular dialogue on faith focused on public good in the way this channel does, thank you
I am curious as to how the conversation will go when your time in this life comes to an end and you die. When you are standing in front of Christ saying, “I don’t believe you exist”, I wonder what the reply will be.
I appreciate your openness to the subject, and I'm glad this has led to something beautiful in your life. 😊
Hey. Just passing by to say, God's love is really not a metaphor. And He really has his arm extended to you. I was an atheist also, learning to trust in the clear, visible, empirical and controlable. But the moment you give up on your own capability, is when the Savior comes. Eternity is a long time. Please, think about this with utmost importance. Not the thing you would like to discover being worng about when it's too late.
Thank you for your honesty. You will be in my prayers 😊 I am asking God to continue to reveal Himself to you and loving you to Himself ❤
How do you know you don’t like sweet potatoes? You have to try them before you can say if you like them or don’t.
Similar with God, He says “Taste and see”!
In psalm 33 & 34 (if I remember correctly)
You have Never Tasted !
Please try…. you won’t regret it!
What do you have to lose?
Why do you think there are so many Jesus freaks in the world?
Opening up to the spiritual world is Amazing, you don’t know what your missing.
🙏🏻✝️
This is by far the most beautiful episode up to now!
Oh, that we could just learn to live this way, and treat everyone as the image of God! Lord, have mercy on us. Teach us to live this way. May your kingdom come.
Except that the animations are so ugly. 😛
Facts...the episode was both beautiful and educational.Really enjoyed it and gain a deep understanding of God's wisdom.
Thank you for your encouragement! We are so happy that we can be a resource for you.
Once again, another INCREDIBLE video. Amazing job to everyone involved!
Thank you for your encouragement! We are so happy that we can be a resource for you.
“Gods wisdom invites us, to honor the ‘image’ of God in every person we meet” 🏆🔥
Yeah that anger one hit me. I felt the conviction and I can totally see how it can bring you to doing the worst when you're in the state of mind. And then it brings me to forgiveness. But I'm still working on it and praying for God to soften my heart while setting boundaries.
It's great to hear how our resources have impacted you! Thanks for sharing this with us.
I love the fact that this video went out how Jesus viewed women as people instead of objects and how he made men aware of their actions to do better and not view women as objects and to treat them as equals.
Love your Wives. Because how can you love an Object.
Jesus is risen. Revelation 1:18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
I received a dream about this after asking God to give me new eyes to see these sins. Immediately got uncontrollably tired, fell asleep, and God showed me through an instructing warning type of terrifying dream. When I woke up He made me know that I know that I know it was from Him and He showed me through my already open Bible as soon as I woke up. It was open right to these sins in Mathew during His sermon on the mount.
Amazing
I’m going through the hardest season of my life, and I can’t stop being so angry. I’m angry with myself, my kids, God, I’m angry. It’s rotting me from the inside. I don’t even recognize myself anymore. I pray to Jesus and beg and scream for change. I’m just lost. Idk what to do anymore.
I hope you're doing better. In Jesus' name, amen.
Hey brother, First let me say, you are not alone. I also have felt a very similar thing in my heart. There might be a reason for that anger but most importantly is, are you surrendering that anger to God? I ask because every time I feel this anger, it only gets better surrendering it to God. To be honest, sometimes it takes longer for it to go away completely than others. All I know is that I feel as God works it out little by little and starts revealing things he wanted me to see. I hope this helps you brother and I pray God guides you through any attack of anger in Jesus name, Amen.
John 14:12-14, 21, 23, 27 ESV
[12] “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. [13] Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. [14] If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.
[21] Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.”
[23] Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.
[27] Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.
@@marlonm.2820 I really appreciate the time you took to write me man. Life took me thousands of miles away from everyone I know and love, and while I appreciate solitude, it’s hard to get out of my head. Thank you brother! 🙏 feel like I’m losing it sometimes and I just don’t want to scare my baby girls. Lotta stress being a single dad w full custody and no family in the area. I’m giving it to Him right now!
Hey man. I can't even imagine how hard that can be.
Please find rest in Jesus. He says come to me all who are heavy laden and I will give you rest.
I pray you truly find rest for your soul in Him. You are loved brother
I’ll pray for you brother. I hope the lords fills you with the fruits of his spirit! I pray you find peace and joy this evening. Watch the video “Chandler Testimony” and I hope you find peace.
I hope that one day, the current generations will utilize your videos to educate future generations, transcending all doctrines, in combating hyperreligiosity, gaining a deeper comprehension of the Bible, its diverse themes, and its iconic characters. Moreover, your videos will shed light on God's plan, fulfilled through Jesus, Christians, and all individuals of goodwill. Thank you for instilling both inspiration and knowledge within us.💗
The thing is that Jesus brought forth these ideas earlier, in a time and place where the language and culture would have been easily understood. He also added real-life examples, in his own walk through his life, yet we still continued with the same hearts of stone. It takes the transformation brought about by the Holy Spirit to soften our hearts, and to make us truly able to 'hear and do'. We should continue to pray that the Holy Spirit will guide us in our daily lives.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! It's great to hear our resources are impacting you in such a meaningful way. We appreciate you and your encouragement.
@@Rockjamify Undoubtedly, despite the teachings and exemplary conduct of Jesus, humanity often faces a formidable challenge in authentically reforming its innermost convictions and aligning its actions with these profound principles. Nevertheless, I posit that a genuine comprehension of the divine can empower countless individuals to apprehend the profound implications of Christ's message."
@@bibleproject I express my sincere gratitude to you for providing us with such extensive assistance.😇
@@MultiTacswho is?
I am sobbing right now.. How much I murdered people with my act, Anger, Jealousy and Mistreated😭😭😭😭😭. Thank you Jesus for Your Words and also thank you Bible Project❤️🩹
May we repent of our sins and trust God's wisdom
To say that you won’t think sexual thoughts about another person (other than your spouse) or not be angry with someone in any way makes the concept of repentance moot-as is the case with everyone else. We will always be murderers and adulterers to God.
@@rickybobby9797its about cultivating sin in our hearts, why not pray to God about this subject?
@@rickybobby9797 Just wanted to say that God's love is greater than any sin of the world. Jesus bore the consequences of all our sins and wants us to have a genuine heart of repentance. While we are always going to fall short of God's glory, Jesus wants us to turn from sin every time and to turn to Him and trust His ways. There is a difference between trying (at the very least) to turn from sin and deliberately sin which causes us to separate from God. Father, I pray that we continuously learn to submit to You, help us overcome every temptation, in Jesus' name, Amen.
Wow. I use to see these videos and just merely pass them by. But today, i decided to give it a chance.
I am in awe.
You guys really work hard in explaining God's Word. And the animation is incredible.
Thank you BibleProject, may God continue to bless you all🙏
Can you guys one day explain Exodus 4:24-26? It is a very confusing passage and I feel like many people would benefit from having an explanation of its context and meaning.
Great question! We've responded to this in two podcasts, most recently in 2022. You can find our response to the question beginning at the 37:46 mark of this podcast: bibleproject.com/podcast/did-god-try-kill-moses/
can someone tell me why ezekiel 23:14 doesn't get much air time? you'd think that god pornography would be known to everyone.
@@HarryNicNicholas What part of this passage interests you? The story of the two sisters is an allegory about the people of Israel pursuing after other gods. There isn't much reason to be a widely taught story.
God help me to honor His image in every person I meet.
Jesus Christ loves you so much that He died on the cross for your sins. I Pray that you receive this message and start to live for Him. May you find Him and start to read The Bible! You can be made new because you can be covered in The Precious Blood Of Jesus Christ.
I like it how you said right there I'm going to subscribe to you
Amen God bless brother
So well done! thank you!
You were never holding God up so you can’t let Him down. The fact of the matter is, God knew you before you were even conceived. He knew your struggles and all before you even got here. All He needs is you to turn to Him and move away from sin because He will help you. There is never a temptation that you cannot overcome, He says so. ❤❤God bless
I really appreciate the bonus footage at the end. Helps give perspective to how much work goes into every second. Also hearing from the animator helps make a human connection to the art. Each part of the body is essential to the whole body. Thanks guys, much love and peace
Lord help me with my anger I’m still working on that! Blessed be you our God!
Just want to say appreciate the effort Bible Project is putting into the Kingdom and specifically how you guys are making it easy to be childlike, praise the Lord and praying you may continue to walk in the anointing and grace of God to do the good work! 😃
lol.
Wow!!! Even though I know these scriptures so well and the point Jesus was trying to convey and yet this explanation was so beautifully presented. From the script to the animation I am just blown away.
This reminds me of a excerpt from a required read in high school: “there is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. When you kill a man, you steal a life... you steal his wife's right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone's right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness... there is no act more wretched than stealing.”
― Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner
I really give my thanks to Josh if he sees this and any other animators there because of all that work you do I get to better learn and understand the story so my thanks to them for all their hard work
May God bless all of us and help this world
Amen!
Jesus God please forgive me for my anger and cursing thoughts im guilty and im sorry i have come to this and i ask for forgiveness in you’re name Jesus Christ Amen Amen
Hey man, can you pray for me? I'm going through the same thing. I really need God's help.
Thankful for the times Jesus has guided and protected me as a daughter, his love is liberating.
Can't wait. 🐏

I repent for my anger Jesus please help me
Jesus loves you! ✝♥
I am repent from anger and lust . Truly anger is not good .forgive my sins Lord Jesus Christ. Please cleanse my Heart. Help me to overcame this anger and lust sins. Iam redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus christ Amen
Amen
Ephesians 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath.
Jesus was angry when he walked in His temple...He flipped the moneychangers table! His house is a house of prayer!!!! AMEN!!
We can trust Jesus with being angry where we cannot trust ourselves.
The "Be angry but don't sin,don't let the sun go down on your anger" is Paul exact quoting Psalm 4:4 in the Greek translation .
""When you are disturbed, do not sin ponder it on your beds, and be silent" NRSV. From the Hebrew which has no command to be angry
Yup, people are getting it wrong. We need the spirit of Christ to understand that message.
Jesus was exposing the idea of self righteous because the pharisees were all about keeping the law. So it broke them to hear Jesus even raising the standard. That was to expose the truth of needing a savior than a new set of rules to follow.
Simply put, if indeed anyone would then go ahead and implement the wisdom and law that Jesus ascribed to, then we wouldn't need a Savior.
The call is to the fullness of Christ in us and coming to the full knowledge of God, as that's his Desire.
Once we've learnt to accept the Christ, and the gift of righteousness- we will effortlessly find Joy in living right. For then we will be doing it because we are already justified[New identity], not trying to get justified.
@@Liminalplace1We can also trust ourselves to be angry and NOT sin. With the help of the Holy Sprit. I get angry with my children with their disobedience but that anger doesn't cause me to sin. I get angry with seeing "pride" parades but that anger doesn't cause me to sin. Along with many other sinful things I see.
This is a great example of the teachings of Christ, made simple and easy to understand
Lord please help me cleanse my heart, mind, soul and body.
There's a righteous anger even our Heavenly Father have righteous anger. But an unforgiving unrelenting anger is so bad not only hurts us but our Heavenly Father as well.😊
O inicio do pecado é na mente. Se conseguir alterar isso, consegue alterar um possível resultado. Gloria ao pai.🙏 Obrigado por tudo!
Thank you BibleProject.
God has given you'll so much wisdom. And you'll have study so much to have this wisdom.
Thank you for your encouragement! We are so happy that we can be a resource for you.
God's love transcends beyond time.
God bless you people ❤
I think the world needs a series like this. It's a novel way to re-visit the Sermon on the Mount. Earnestly looking forward to the next episode. God willing. ❤
Your discussion helped me understand the characterizations: I, too, see how outwardly I appear "OK," but my inner character seems more like that of the widow. This helped me better see myself as God sees me - and better understand the Sermon on the Mount. Thanks, guys!
God is BRILLIANT
Thank you, Josh, for your hard work and artistry! I'll always prefer art made by God's image bearers to things produced by AI, without love and inspiration. May God continue to help artists flourish and to allow the rest of humanity to benefit! ❤
Ya'll do a great job, love the way you interpret the Bible. It feels honest and out of love. Something thats hard to find in Bible teachers these days. You used the wisdom of God and not your own
Looking forward to seeing it! Thanks!
He said angry without cause, being anger isn't bad in itself, he said to be angry but sin not.
AMEN
THAT'S WHY IT SAID JUDGE WITH RIGHTEOUS JUDGEMENT
HATE SIN BUT NOT THE SINNER
FORGIVE OTHERS
EPHESIANS 6 10
Ephesians 6:10
[10]Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.
That's what it says. Not sure how it relates to your comment 🤔
@@flakamulata it takes strength to judge righteously, to hate evil without dishonoring others, and to be forgiving. But that sort of strength is only found in, and comes from, the Lord. I suppose that's what they meant by it.
I never get angry at other people, but when im by myself, and im stressed out about one thing or another, and suddnenly things start going to crap, every little thing starts getting to me and man im so guilty of anger, I screw up so bad sometimes,
may the lord have mercy on me and you too.
Praise Christ Jesus forever and ever, amen 🙏.
highly valuable and insightful message
I keep failing Him. Over and over and over and over...I feel lost and hopeless, like I'll never change or repent. But I don't want to live like this either.
Don't lose hope, He promised to deliver us. The power of His love is greater than the power of sin, this is evident in your being convicted. You only need keep seeking, and you shall surely find, in the mighty name of JESUS CHRIST, amen.
And also give yourself grace, God gives it to us new every morning. Give it to yourself as well 🙏🏾.
have faith, I often struggle as well; is like building a tower of blocks to later be destroyed, at some point I have felt the pointlessness of starting again and again. But be patient, and don't mind starting again and again, with love and joy you kill sin. Frustration and desperation always lead to sin.
Pray to God for help. He truly loves you. Jesus will and can be your savior to end your addictions. We all fail and sin. Don't be hard on yourself. The devil is a lie. God bless you! ❤
Thanks to Jesus, sin isn’t ours to kill or destroy. He has already defeated it on your behalf. Just fully submit to Him and His will for your life. Temptations and sin will keep coming. But He gives us power and the ability to stare it in the face, and say NO in the name of Jesus. He has abundant and never ending grace for you. He is not mad at you and He is not disappointed in you. He loves you more than anything and knows how hard it is to be tempted. Jesus HIMSELF was tempted in every way that we are, but He never sinned. Lean into Him for wisdom in how to say no to the sin. In Jesus name! He is with you!!
This was my favourite episode yet 🙌🙏the imagery/animation was beyond beautiful, wow, big ups to the team🙏 I saw these texts in a completely new light, God bless you
Thank you for your kind words! We appreciate you and your encouragement today.
This completely changed my perspective
Very convicting and well said.
Gosh y’all blow my mind with the artistry hand in hand with the clarity of your education on the living words. Wow well done!!! 😤🤘🏻🫡
I thought this video was well done. Jesus was teaching us that outward actions are manifestations of what's going on inwardly. If we take care of the inward issues of hate, lust, & objectifying others, then it will never turn into the outward actions of murder, adultery, & divorcing for the wrong reason.
We love you Jesus
I am so glad that I sign up for the reminder❤
Jesus lives ❤ and is God 🙏🏻 Christ ✝️ and King 👑
Anger is a God given emotion. (We can be angry at the murder of a child.). It’s not bad at itself.
It’s what you do with anger can determine if it’s a sin or not.
1. You can spew it
2. Hold it in
3. Study it
Studying it is the only healthy and Godly way. Understand why and how to deal with it.
Amén brothers. God bless you all
Thank You Lord 🕊
Thanks Bible Project team! That is amazing to realize that every second of animation requires a LOT of drawings!! Thank you for all you do to help us all understand the Bible better and know, follow and love Jesus better ❤🎉
Anger & Murder: I don't care if you're a human being, you're beneath me, and I can lash out at any perceived slight towards me to any degree I want!
Lust & Adultery: You exist for my personal pleasure.
The Divorce Debate: I'm going to throw you away like a worn-out scarf, even though I made a promise that I would stand by you, love, you, and care for you forever. (This last part used to vex me considerably, and I would ask things like "what about cases in which someone is being abusive", but I get the point now!)
All of them: You are lesser/different from me, and that gives me the right to do whatever I want to you.
You all are a God send to us all 🙏
I can't wait 🎉🎉i need this in my life
Such a beautifull world.
A other magnificent video
This episode was well worth the wait. 🙏🏼🙏🏽🙏🏿
This one was really helpful.
Y’all crushed it on this one.
God be praised!
The art makes it more easier for me to understand as I am still very young, thank you kind sir god bless✋😇🙏
Woooo! Can’t wait!
Jesus is Lord
The answer to the question of neglect or abuse at point 5:49 of the video is that Jesus said to love your wife as christ loved the church (ie, willing to sacrifice everything even your own life to keep her as long as what you do is not illegal or unbiblical). Also, you have to constantly ask yourself what would I want me to do if I were her (considering her experiences, knowledge, etc Luke 6:31).
Therefore, they are sins and the wife is to follow the biblical guidance on how to deal with it like with any other sin.
1)If someone offends you, tell them (Matt 18:16) but speak the truth (Eph 4:15) in love (ie patient, kind, gentle, etc 1 Cor 13);
2)After repeatedly (it has to be a number of times as listed in the bible) telling them, you can leave them and have nothing to do with them if they are unrepentant of their sin (keep in mind repent means to change one's mind. They don't have to change the behaviour but "by their fruits you will know them"). (Leaving in modern terms, this is called separation)
3) You cannot, however, divorce. You may never be able to have sex with anyone else again unless someone dies or participates in sexual immorality at which point, the marriage vow is then broken. Luckily, abusive people tend to also be impulsive and God has the power to free you from that marriage bond if the abusive spouse moves on because they cannot control themselves. Don't do a David, though.
4) Relevant to unmarried: this is why you should seek someone who already loves you as Christ loves the church and whom you can submit to in every regard (if you're a woman) and marry a woman who is willing to submit to you and whom you can love as Jesus loved the church. Not Rush and get to know them in varying circumstances including sharing all your oddities with them as Mary did with Joseph and listening to God's guidance
How about today's world? Where women treat men like second class citizens, initiate divorces, file false cases and ruin their lives?
See the image of God in every person that we meet ❤
Thank yall. Really interested in this. Especially when Jesus connects lust to adultery and not fornication. Does that mean if we lust, we sin against our future spouse (if we are single)? What if we never marry?
This is a tough one for many people. It's not that we sin against a future spouse as much as against God, and ourselves. Jesus is directing us to love others, and lust is not loving others - it is entirely selfish. It should turn us from "how can I feel better by having this person/thing?" to "how can I help this person or others by what I choose to do?" instead.
Something I do personally is count the cost. If I'm looking at someone, I consider the financial cost of any thought that passes through my mind and/or suggests in my emotions which influence actions. For example, the financial cost of raising a family and providing for them.
I LOVE YOU BIBLE PROJECT TEAM. PLEASE BE WORTHY OF MY LOVE FOREVER AS YOUR SACRIFICE TO CHRIST, FOR I TOO LOVE CHRIST
Great video Men & Women thank you
Keep up the good videos
brilliant
I need this video
