One clarification. I don’t want anyone to be confused here Ending all of your sin DOES NOT SAVE YOU. We go through a process But when you are saved you’ll noticed a desire to put an end to sin. If you desire to continue after the flesh and want to pursue the flesh rather than the spirit, it is evidence that you have not been reborn. But there’s hope - you still have opportunity to seek the Lord and be reborn
Romans 4:5-6 and romans 11:6 also 😊Salvation comment -jesus died and rose again if you believe that he died and rose and were saved by grace through faith alone you will be saved. once saved always saved no need to repent from your sins for salvation.
Using an analogy made by Paul Washer: if I say to you that I was hit by a speeding semi truck while walking across the street, but I looked and walked the same way afterwards, you would wonder if I am telling the truth. No one can be hit by a speeding truck and there not be evidence if it. This is the same with Christ: you cannot have a true encounter with Him and there not be any evidence of that. If your relationship with Christ does not produce changed behavior, you better question your salvation.
So from what I understand, if you confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord" and believe he rose from the dead, yet still have the desire to sin and do evil, then that person is not saved by faith. Paul addresses this issue, that if you think you can sin all you want and just ask forgiveness at the end of the night, you have a profound misunderstanding of God's grace. However, there is a difference between "desire" and "temptation" that I hope doesn't confuse people into thinking they're damned to Hell if they mess up. For example, if you fall into the temptation of lust or drunkeness; commit these sins, but feel convicted afterwards. That doesn't mean you were "never saved in the first place" you just had a moment of weakness that wasn't planned and now feel guilty and are in need of forgiveness despite having already been saved. If you weren't actually born again and still had desires of the flesh, then you wouldn't feel conviction of sin now would you? In fact, I'd imagine the person would be indifferent towards disobedience and shrug it off.
A lot of people will not accept this message because they want to continue living in their sin and don’t understand that Jesus defeated sin and bondages now. They take one verse and ignore everything else God tells you to do.
No, people will not accept this because it goes against what Jesus said was the requirement for "salvation." Sanctification & Salvation are 2 completely different camps. One is works to produce fruit, that brings more people to Christ. The other is the way to be saved to enter Heaven with God for eternity. To stop sinning is impossible, as long as you are the person who resides in your flesh who wrote a comment on UA-cam. You can practice eliminating sin out of your life. That's good, especially if you tell people you are a Christian. But do not make that your basis to be saved, or to tell others it is the way to Heaven. Because the way to heaven is only through believing in Jesus Christ.
@@JesusIsRealJ1247 21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. Matthew 7:21-23
@@JesusIsRealJ1247 Of course we only gain salvation through Jesus Christ. Though after we believe this we are to follow Christ. And it’s not separate to be sanctified and to believe in the salvation that Jesus gave us. After we accept Jesus can we still continue sinning the way we did before we got saved? It’s good to tell people about salvation and that’s the start but you can’t say we should keep sinning the way we did before we knew Christ, he came to set us free from those things. The problem with the teaching of salvation today is most people don’t teach the other things Jesus taught that are just as important. Hebrews 10:26-29 ““If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?” Hebrews 6:1 1 Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and of faith in God, Hebrews 6:4-6 “It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.” John 3:5-8 “Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You must be born again.’ The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”” Matthew 10:37-39 ““Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.”
@@JesusIsRealJ1247 The only way to be saved is through believing in Jesus Christ. After we’re saved we’re to follow him. Is it okay for us to continue the sins we were in before he saved us? It is the truth that Jesus is the only way to salvation though people don’t teach all the other things Jesus teaches, that’s the problem with this salvation message today. Hebrews 10:26-29 “If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God.

My brother you are 100% on spot. I've been waiting a long time for someone to finally begin to explain this. I cannot understand why the majority of ministers are not explaining this. Scripturally sound and right on the money! Thank you thank you thank you Although we are ultimately saved by grace 1tim 4:16 says that we are to strive to ensure our salvation. Philippians 2:12
A few months back God walked me through Romans 6 ~10 just as he did with you -- and showed me exactly what he showed you. I'll just say this -- obedience is vitally important to God in every way possible.
Only if you wish to profit a Crown at your judgement. Not all who believe will do this, for no one is perfect as the Christ. The basis for "Sanctification" is to not appear as a hypocrite as many do today, but to help spread the gospel, and to show what Jesus taught. For one to walk in the new man is a good thing, but is not based on ones "Salvation." If one sins, god will punish them in their flesh by any means he see's necessary. But does not subtract from them of their right to go to heaven. For God loves all his creation too much to desire them to damnation with Lucifer. All it takes is to believe on the son, Jesus Christ as our savior. Through and through.
Good preaching brother, I was honestly under the same understanding like you explained in the beginning, but was convicted strongly by this. Holy spirit speaking straight to me and I pray this reaches alot more chirstians stuck in the same trap.
@@jovanimojica4649 conviction of the spirit is such a great blessing my guy Appreciate you supporting the channel and commenting - hope all is well with you!
I just realized this myself literally like a week ago after I was killing myself of sin repeatedly till I heard death dates and it worried and still worries me and begging for extended life here to serve Him above All things to do this. I feel you mate. Thanks for the message. Keep spreading the Word of Jesus!!!!!!!
@@biggame461 My general rule - learn the voice of God, Stick your face in scripture to make sure you’re not receiving a message from Satan. One major issue with repeated sin is that it opens doors for being influenced by different forms of darkness, demons, powers etc (we learn about those influences in Ephesians 6:12) Be encouraged, if the lord is giving you a warning that is clear evidence that it’s for correction not for you to be eternally damned. The word says correction and rebuke are a sign of love from the father - so if you’re feeling corrected you don’t need to feel worry and fear at the same time Praise him / thank him for already showing you that he had room to forgive you or else why would he even correct you So yes my man, pray and seek his face. Denounce any thing that you’ve been doing as you repent. I’m praying with you my friend. Also excited that you are shifting and going to the next season of service to the kingdom Here for ya !
@@MatthewFaysonah yes, right on time. I'm struggling with nicotine, food and videogames. PRAISE JESUS! because I WAS also addicted to alcohol and pornography and swearing too. No more to those things. Soon, no more to the rest. Praise God for his patience and grace!
no one can even end all their sin since the sin nature always exists while we are in this current body. the lust of the flesh, eyes, and pride of life are of the world, but we are currently in that world and do these things. the flesh is not something pursued, but perpetually experienced. one of the ways the gospel is defined in the bible is : Christ in you, the hope of glory. the reason we have to hope is because we do not yet have that glory in its fullness. if you believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, it begs the question as to where he went/ where he came from. the gospel is the hope to be in that place with him. no one needs a license to sin, since our nature itself is the power to sin. those who are saved are those who are known by God, the elect. all people, by nature of the imputed curse, do not know or want God. the only way out of that is supernatural intervention.
I like how you address this issue about people being led astray from what their teachers told them. People need to understand that most teachers don't have the answers. Alura Cein and myself are trying to wake people up to the truth. What you put into your mind goes with you and what is in your heart shows Heavenly Father who you are as a person. People are being tested and the criminals change with the times without questioning. Heavenly Father has sent messengers to guide people. Alura has taught me well. Verily, people have been lied to or misled for a long time because they don't know how to interpret the real meanings behind the scriptures.
Jesus came to be the eternal sacrificial lamb for man with his sinless blood on the Cross at Calvary. Because we could NOT overcome the LAW which was given to Moses and passed onto the Jews. To sin after believing in the gospel of Jesus Christ does NOT allow one to LOSE their salvation. What it means in Romans 10 is to walk in "SANCTIFICATION" as a Christian before others who witness you, when you yourself claim to be a Christian before them. To sin [profits] a person NOTHING for Sin is tried by heavenly fire as wood, hay, & stubble. To not Sin again, is 1 Billion % impossible as long as you are made of flesh and bone on this earth. Yes, you can practice not to sin. But do NOT make it your [foundation] of belief [for] "salvation." That does not help on this video for starts, and 6,500 people witnessed this lie. What matters is that people believe on the only begotten son of God, Jesus Christ to be saved. Which is not of themselves & anything that they do, but [the will] of the father who sent who? Jesus Christ, [God himself.] If you don't do this, you are sinful in the eyes of the father, and another reprobate of Lucifer's kind. In turn, breaking God's heart in having to condemn you apart from himself for all eternity. Because a unrepentant mind cannot change if it doesn't choose to do so. Which is why we still have free-will to [choose] to [accept Jesus] as our Lord, or [not.] The moment one does, no one can pluck them from the fathers hand. Because God records everything you do, every second of your life. He [knows] if you [believed or not.] Please stop confusing the masses with this video. Also, please stop reading modern translations. They are counterfeits, and full of lies, and modifications. Which God warned us NOT to do. Don't believe me? Find me the name "Lucifer" in your bible. See if it exists in Isaiah 14:12. Because you won't find it. Why would God omit from us the very being who's name ruined it for all? He wouldn't, only Lucifer would. Luke 18:27 KJV "And he said, The things which are [impossible with men] are possible with God." - You won't become sinless until you are washed new by Jesus on the other side of the veil. ---------------------------------------------------------- Scripture to be saved John 6:38-40 KJV "For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the [will of him] that sent me.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Not of works, lest any man should boast." ("any man" is the "unbeliever" who never believed in Jesus. Because unbeliever's don't know they are not to count on their works as the way into heaven. For Jesus Christ requires faith in [his/Jesus's] work, for he is the Gate to heaven, on that narrow path that leads strait to the gate that is Christ Jesus.) Titus 3: 3-7 KJV "For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." ---------------------------------------------------------- The 10 Commandments 1.

@@JesusIsRealJ1247 hey thanks for adding to the conversation I think my aim here is misunderstood which could have been my fault I am not of the belief that someone achieves heaven by their works / not even slightly of that belief I’m of the belief that truly coming into the gift of salvation produces a work in you that changed you The idea of just loosely saying I believe Roman’s 10:9, falls short of too many other scriptures about what salvation actually does to a person I said I believe in jesus as lord when I was a kid / mostly due to the tradition of my family I didn’t believe in Jesus in my heart, but I did say “Jesus is lord” no different than someone like Judas would have probably said - while I separately lived my life however I wanted to live because jesus wasn’t actually lord to me - it was just a club that I joined Personally, some may disagree, I don’t think that man that I was - was a saved man. I think he was in unrepentant liar who knew the right words to say Coming to Christ truly, it made me want to pursue The will of The lord, this isn’t what saved me but it surely showed the condition of my heart - it had been changed truly, the process of being sanctified was indeed a process But the desire toward Christ was drastically different, even though it im not a perfect man I’m willing to be honest that my previous condition only confessed Christ because I do isn’t like the idea of hell - not because I really believed in Christ as lord When the Holy Spirit comes upon someone it changes the persons heart toward sin, it brings conviction and a desire to repent I don’t personally believe a person has truly come to the faith if their is no conviction with sin or desire to pursue the will of the Lord There are MANY scriptures telling us about how we are to finish the race to enter the kingdom, there are many “work” related scriptures that prove a persons heart It doesn’t mean work saves you But work is relative to a change of heart
@@MatthewFayson I want to try to help simplify this breakdown for you in my replied remarks. Because you seem to be doing mental gymnastics with scripture. To a point verbally in your video that begins confusing the understanding of the gospel itself. Which I don't believe you intended. > "The idea of just loosely saying I believe Roman’s 10:9, falls short of too many other scriptures about what salvation actually does to a person" Salvation does [nothing] to a person in this realm where flesh & blood resides. What it does do, is give birth on the [other side] of the veil the holy spirit on their life's account [be born again]. For having solely decided to believe in Jesus Christ, and his finished work. That's it! Pretty awesome right? Don't worry about how deeply you believed. It really comes down to a decision through a "Choice". Not a "Feeling". When you understand the backstory of Lucifer, and his fall, and let alone his mind, which is all he is. You can understand what God says through Christ Jesus, when he makes declarations for things regarding salvation. Take this verse for example > Romans 10:9 KJV "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." You know how you and I have free-will? Lucifer would not confess God as is Holy, and "decided" to turn away from him through his own pride. Aka, rejected God, his creator. The very idea that one has the audacity to believe Jesus is God, and trust in him as their Lord and Savior. Is to do exactly the opposite of what Lucifer does. Which is what God aka "Jesus" needs from us first and last. After all, if you "desire" Jesus, you can be assured, you believed in your heart. The rest, he will take care of, after all, he is God. Am I Right? > "I don’t think that man that I was - was a saved man. I think he was in unrepentant liar who knew the right words to say " If you truly were of the devil's kind, you wouldn't have said those words. The part of your heart that yearns to be honest, and hopes you did it correct. Is the holy spirit within you, fighting to break free from the demons who have been following you for your whole life, tempting you into every sin you made. Same goes for all of us. At the end of it all, God will review our lives through every minute detail we've forgotten. His power is beyond our comprehension. For his desire is to save, not to condemn. The condemnation of man-like punishment is just a lie Lucifer uses to confuse us, for he is the author of confusion. God is love, and brings clarity, and understanding, and most importantly. Forgiveness! > "There are MANY scriptures telling us about how we are to finish the race to enter the kingdom, there are many “work” related scriptures that prove a persons heart" There are many false doctrines, and counterfeit bibles distorting the truth of God's word, and promises with lies, and omitting names, and verses. Except one, the KJV. I always try to remind people of the English Tongue. God purposely made 1 bible necessary for the English language to stand the test of time. The KJV is concise, to the point, and perfect like a sword with the word. It never subtracted, nor added anything from the Geneva, it only corrected it in typo's. Whereas any bible that came out after the KJV, did otherwise. F From the ASV all the way to the CSB of today. I own a few, and the KJV makes Jesus's declaration's simple, and understandable without any beating around the bush, or alternative descriptions. It definitely doesn't say anything is "difficult" or "hard" as the modern bibles do. Talking about the paths that are both strait, but one is wide and one is narrow. For one leads to Heaven and one to Hell.. I would just err on the side of caution when putting out video content that talks too deeply from a "personal" understanding about salvation to people. If one has not fully understood through study, and took their knowledge from hearsay of someone else, be it family, church, etc. They should always check the word for the facts. Unless you are a video creator who teaches how to read the word with the viewer. Because a lot of people don't know, and what we should be saying is short and sweet. "Believe in your heart Jesus Christ as your sole Lord and Savior, and his blood for his finished work for the redemption of your sins, you will go to heaven." Anything more that gets into theology is going to just confuse the listener, and the moment you create a "chore" list of verbal requirements, then people don't want to hear more. Or those like myself, will come in to correct the message & quote the bible where necessary outside of a discussion. Because let's be real, a lot of people do believe in Jesus, but never read more than a few pages or a chapter from the Bible. They are saved, but they don't exactly profit much from their lack of study. Especially if it comes to sharing the gospel. Which many are doing the latter very poorly by condemning people they are sinners, and they are better. When we're all the same. Just one believed, and the other hasn't. Yet, we all sin, and will until the day we die. I know my correcting remarks sparked anger which in turn became hatred in the eyes of the reader in this UA-cam comments section. That's a sin. But I'm no better than that person who did. I just don't claim I never sin. I sincerely pray this helps ease your worries. It took me a while to walk away from a Calvinist doctrine. But the more I read, and do so everyday. The better I understand, God made it stupid simple for all of us. We just have to trust in him, and by trust. Have faith, he will be there for us at our last breath.
You have to understand what is “doing good” because only God is good. What does God do? God loves. God forgives. God shows mercy. God is long suffering. God keeps no record of wrongs. This is why eternal life is a free gift. Because God is good & does not make us earn eternal life. In the same way we do unto others & in so doing our faith is completed or perfected. By loving you, forgiving you, showing mercy to you, not holding your sins against you I am proving that I actually know God & Jesus Christ (which is eternal life). This is having faith in Christ because in Christ we have received forgiveness of sins, mercy, love, compassion. If it is true for me, it is true for you. Instead of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you, now you do unto others as Christ has done unto you or do unto others as you would have God do unto you. It’s not that me forgiving you & showing you mercy & loving you saves me, but it proves (is a witness) that I believe God has forgiven me, been merciful to me & loves me. I am not being a hypocrite, which is the leaven of the Pharisees which Jesus says to beware of. Lest there be in your an evil heart of unbelief. See, by not loving you, not forgiving you, not being merciful to you I am proving I have an evil heart of unbelief. I don’t actually believe God loves, God forgives, God is merciful. He who is forgiven much loves much. If you don’t love others you don’t believe you’re forgiven. This is why the love of God was not in the Pharisees because they rejected forgiveness & boasted in their own righteousness as if they never sinned & did not need God’s mercy or forgiveness. So many of Jesus’s parables & commands drive this point home. But like I said, we love because He FIRST loved us. Now that we have received His love we can love one another. The more you understand grace & the more you live by grace the more you will walk in love. If salvation were not a free gift we would never walk in love because we wouldn’t know what love is. God making it a free gift is what teaches us true love. Grace teaches us. By grace are you saved through faith, it is the gift of God. Faith in what? Faith in the unfailing love of God. Faith in the blood of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins. He loved not His life unto death. He laid down His life as a ransom for many. As we behold Him we are being transformed into His same image, from glory to glory.
AHHHHHHHHHH, I’m 14 and MAN it feels like a WARZONE OUT HERE, I just got this channel saying all we need to do to get saved is to believe in Jesus’s resurrection, then I’m getting this channel that’s saying we must do everything that Jesus says we must do, then there’s Some people that look extremely tired and haven’t taken a bath in years yelling at me on UA-cam shorts to follow God and anything that isn’t about him is against him WHICH DOESNT MAKE ANY SINCE, spending time with family isn’t talking About God, does that mean it’s wrong? Is entertainment and movies a sin if it’s not about God? Are hobbies a sin if there not about God? all of this on top of starting high school YEESH, may God bless forgive, help, protect, guide, and enlighten all of us
@@natedaboi1608 hey my man, I hope I can simplify this a bit 1. We are saved by Jesus Christ - We cannot do any work that will save us. Once you sin - you can longer do anything to perfect yourself. Jesus is the only one who is perfect So my reliance for salvation is COMPLETELY trusting that Jesus has the authority to stand on my place and overcome sin for me. 2. Once we understand that Jesus is perfect, has no blemish, and was the sacrifice paying for our sin, once we acknowledge him as lord and believe in Gods power to raise Jesus from the dead, we receive the Holy spirit The Holy Spirit is what helps us to stay away from sin So I don’t want you to think that you need to do a bunch of stuff to get saved. This video is more focused on what we should considering when we submit to Jesus. Saying Jesus is lord and then living however I want to live isn’t the way
I get what you’re going through. There’s a lot of false teachers out here. The good news is that if you have believed that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day, the you’re saved, no matter what you do or don’t do. You’re saved simply by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. See John 3:16-18, John 6:40 and 47, Acts 16:29-31, and 1 John 5:13.
You need to be careful with how you’re saying this. Salvation isn’t works based or behavioral based. It’s a trust, a firm belief in what Christ did for us. Yes, as Christians, we should be fruitful and avoid sin, striving for a godly lifestyle. However, people become lukewarm, or are led astray. That doesn’t take away their salvation. New Christians May struggle with old sinful habits and struggle to overcome them. That’s why the mercy of Jesus is what we must turn to. Ask for God to change our hearts and help us to resist sin.
I have mentioned this to a few others. Consider the video with these thoughts in mind and I think it clears uo what I was trying to express. 1. We are Saved by the Grace of God through our Faith. There is no amount of work that saves us. Whether that work is fulfilling commandments, being charitable, being a good person, etc NO WORK SAVES YOU 2. But when you Confess/Agree that Jesus is Lord, you are stating that you are willing to submit to his authority over you. Rather than being your own God or submitting to any other God, you bend your knee to Jesus. Which does produce work/actions that reflect Jesus. That doesn't mean that I act perfect. It means my pursuit is his Spirit and not to carelessly live according to my own flesh 3. When you Believe that God raises Jesus from the dead. You should also know why he did it. Jesus is killed to pay the cost of sin, When he's raised back up, God is displaying His Divinity, His Power, His Authority, & Truth. To believe that God raised him from the Grave is to believe that Jesus was prophetically true about who he was and also that The Father in Heaven has the ultimate power over all things, even that which defies nature. He's Supernatural. Which is important to believe because we cannot naturally cleanse ourselves with works, we need a supernatural cleanser & a supernatural encounter to cleanse us or we would need to die (do to our sin) - I think we agree on that part....but 4. When we come into realization of this, we also inherit the Holy Spirit, which gives us authority over sin the same way Jesus had authority over sin. It also gives us conviction to care for the things that Jesus cares for. Which is completely unnatural to someone who is not born again. My ability to refrain from sin, is not due to my discipline or will power. My ability to refrain from sin has nothing to do with my "works" but everything to do with the work of the Holy Spirit working in me that produces a work/evidence 5. When I say our work is evidence of salvation, I'm really trying to say that the Holy Spirit working within me, Provokes Goodness, and it provokes an objection to sin (pursuit of righteousness). It isn't that I'm working my way to salvation, it's that salvation is actually working on me and in me and it shows up in my actions. 6. A person who is not changing or at least convicted of change / desiring change etc they aren't reborn. They are still in the nature of the flesh - even if they said Jesus is Lord. Specifically because they honor him with their lips but their heart is far from him
Repent and turn from sin you will start to begin to feel a bit of conviction when you sin now you will have hard temptations and thoughts of going back but remember that temporary pleasure isn’t as good as eternal pleasure.
Dear Lord thank you so much for Wendy thank you that she sees where she is at with you right now. I pray you take her heart of stone and make it a heart of flesh. Break her heart when she sins or sees sin around her. Lord do not let the enemy condemn her but you convict her and help her turn her life and heart over to you. Thank you for your forgiveness when we do fall short. Please Holy Spirit be upon Wendy knock on the door of her heart Jesus and give her faith to trust in you completely. We love you Jesus. Amen
@@wendyfree5902 hey Wendy, I’ve got good news for you. If you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day, the Bible declares that you are saved and have eternal life. Your feelings towards sin prove nothing. You can be assured of your salvation. See John 6:47 and 1 John 5:13 for assurance. You need not be afraid.
A like a seed. All of us have the seed to grow into somwthing beautiful to reach others, however how many of us drink from the water of life and grow is two seperate things. Being saved is the miracle that produces the will to seek sanctification. If you never drink from the water of life as a seed, you simply never grow then eventually become trampled by the weeds around you. Thanks for the message brother❤. Subscribed
"For with the heart man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" It's right there in the verse. But I get what you are saying and I am applying it.
I like to be clear on what i posted yesterday when we believe on Jesus by faith for what he did for us on the cross we have eternal life and are sealed with holy spirit to the day of redemption our salvation is not by works and we can not lose it i never said this is a license to sin by no means We should live holy lives.
I agree. But it also takes time to change and that will happen on GOD'S time if you surrender. God will always erase the sin if you truly have repentance and keep him in the center of ya life. We all fall short of glory
Hey I totally agree that we go through processes, I’m going through them right now - trying to be more gentle with my family, more patient with my family etc So I do want to encourage you - this message isn’t about being perfect before you’re saved, it’s about submitting your life truly to Jesus as Lord and allowing that TRUE confession to shift you into the person that The Lord has called you to be
Amen dude. Been on my heart the last month to get the word out there about this as well. It’s an absolute epidemic. I run into so many more people like this than full blown atheists… it’s sad
An interesting video,The apostle Paul does tell us to examine ourselves whether we are in the faith. However, one correction that I will make is that in the new testament, the word repent in the Greek actually means a change of mind.
Hey my friend - i mentioned this in previous comment. My goal is that we understand the fullness of the Good news We are saved by grace through faith alone And yet, the grace given Carry’s power to operate in Godly Love / refrain from a life that pursues the flesh and sin. Our works are important, they don’t save us, but they are a response to truly being saved. The fruit we produce is evidence to the roots in our heart
Amen these past days especially i have watched videos about hell and heaven and for years i have been struggling with lust and i have the past days anxiety because of hell and that im not baptized and i want to be i will do it and i also have not fallen into lust these today i have not watched porn and mastrubated and want to do rightous i prayed 3 to 4 times a day today and yesterday also and just 1 Hour ago i had like panic and anxiety and got into my room and prayed for 3 minutes and my anxiety went away i now have little but when i have them i will pray to god since that is what were supossed to do go to god and ask for help and guidance god is great amen
I wrestle and wish to cull the sin from me. Lord I pray your hand intervenes, for all my sins are in my head, I no longer act upon then but I still feel broke from the intrusive thoughts I know to be lie. Rid them from me I pray. May you be armor, sword, shield and mirror my God my Messiah my Spirit. Faithfully I walk, but guilty I live
When we are weak then He is strong. I think I finally understand what this means. To let go of all things & allow God to fill me with Himself. Then will He fight my battles as I make myself weak, not having a righteousness of mine own, but that which is of God, because I trust in Him.
@@JesusIsRealJ1247 What is the purpose of your response? Are you just chiming in? Are you suggesting there is something I do not know? Are you alluding that you have a greater understanding of scripture that no other person has? Are you attempting to convey wit and wisdom to the masses? What is the point of your response?
@@priznuruvchrist4549 From my experience, anyone who alludes to writing such verses as Matthew 7. Often believes in a "Turn from your sins" gospel, which is false. For we are to Fear Not our Lord and Savior. We are to turn to him, and have assurance of the promise that our Salvation is a gift free for the taking, if we do the will of him that sent Christ. The Most Misunderstood Verse in the Bible Matthew 7:21-23 KJV Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth [the will] of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. John 6:38-40 KJV For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the [will of him] that sent me. And this is the [Father's will] which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And [this is the will of him that sent me,] that every one which seeth the Son, and [believeth on him,] may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. [To believe only in Jesus Christ, is to do the [will] of the Father. Do that, and you will never hear those words uttered from Jesus himself after death.]
You are not saved by good works people stop treating this as a code to solve clear as day no one deserves heaven it is a gift by God if you believe that he died and raised now humans cannot be free from sin because of the world its not perfect but we must live from away from as much as away from sin as possible people its also good to have a relationship with him as well talk to him count on him thats it easy
If you believe you can lose your salvation, you automatically believe it depends on you and your righteousness and you are not believing in Jesus's sacrifice. If you know Jesus is the Christ you are saved.
Thank u I'm going to ask myself from now on what would jesus think of my actions right now would he rebuke me or would he say your getting the hang of it keep going
Before I watch this video I wanna thank God for letting me find your channel.. I say this shamefully that I always called myself a Christian but was never praying,reading the Bible, fasting, sowing into ministries. Js anything God told you to do. I never did that and when I did sin I never had the feeling that would overwhelm me into repentance. It would be the lies from Satan who I vulnerable believed in bc I don’t know the voice of God and the enemy. It so easy to sin against God.
To whom much is given much is required". To the thief on the cross he surrendered everything that was required of him and he received Christ.. To the person that's been in the church for 30-40 years and believe that they are secure in Him yet they live according to the flesh/are flippant about sin and have not made Jesus truly Lord only with lip service not good! If you watch part of my testimony I had a near-death experience and sat before God's judgment! Romans 8 38-39
@@Elwhiting1212 yea I’m right there with you. In the moment of death - what more can a person give but someone who is alive and well, there is a great benefit to still be alive and also a great amount of responsibility Not that this responsibility saves you but it does indicate what you are given to as a master
I don’t know if you”re right. But I feel like you”re intentions are in the right place. As a Christian i get so confused, because Ive heard both sides of this and honestly don’t know what makes more sense. Because none of us can be sinless. it’s impossible so I’ve heard the most important thing is to believe. But I also think there’s something to be said for doing things or obeying to show you”re belief but at the same time how far does that go? It’s easy for me to get confused because how do we measure when we’ve done enough to secure our salvation or know we are saved? And then I’ve heard there isn’t enough we could do , it’s not possible because we are sinners no matter what. I think what I feel but I could be wrong is to try your best and God will judge your heart based on your effort but I think believing what Jesus did probably is the most important thing and keeping that in your mind when faced with choices here. I think your spot On though when you say if you try to follow Christ you will try even harder not to sin. And that’s because I think you’re more intuned with the Holy Spirit.
@@brenb7153 hey my friend Just for clarity. There is no amount of work that any one can do to save themselves. We’ve already fallen short, we can’t undo it with our work. My intention with the video, is not to say you must do “work” to get yourself saved, Jesus saves us and that’s that. But the idea that you can just SAY “Jesus died for my sins, and I believe in him” is problematic…not because the statement is untrue, but because many people say that through an emotional experience once in their life and then have no association with Jesus or the Holy Spirit I’ve been told by people, I know I’m going to heaven, I wear a cross on my necklace everyday …people have been extremely mislead with the idea of being “Christian”
@@MatthewFayson okay yeah that makes sense. I think I understand what you are saying. And I agree with that. You have to have you”re heart in it. Not just say you believe but then not care anymore than that. I think people have been misled but I will admit I think it gets confusing at times for a lot of us. Because you have those really judgmental Christian’s that tell you if you don’t do this or that you”re not a Christian or you”re not going to heaven” and then you have other Christian’s who tell you you”re works don’t get you there, I think I understand it, but I think it’s hard to understand at times, it’s weird because a part of me gets it and then sometimes I feel like another part of me gets lost in it a little. But thank you for responding (:
@@MatthewFaysonwhat’s interesting about that scenario is some of those people might actually be better off. I know a lot of Christians first believed the gospel then got super involved in church & became religious hypocrites, boasting in themselves & condemning everyone else. If those people truly believe their sins are forgiven as a free gift from God, they will treat others with the same love & live life accordingly. They will have the witness in themselves. It’s not so much about what is happening on the outside (what most Christians tend to look at) but what is in their heart. They might actually be depending on Jesus more than most Christians & showing more kindness & mercy to others because they have no works to boast in.
6:40 and what is the will of The Father? John 6:40 And this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
@@MatthewFayson It's the believing "on Him" part that is even more important. Not believing in the works we do to be saved. You can't do both. There is no faith in Lord Jesus Christ if we need to add our own works to His free gift for it to be effective. Lord Jesus Christ is enough. I am saved by my faith in Lord Jesus Christ alone for my salvation. The Holy Spirit now dwells within me. The Holy Spirit convicts me of my sin. I am gradually changing because I am saved. I am not changing to be saved. Saved through faith alone first. Works come later but are not required for salvation. Such is the Glory and Grace of God

Father gave me a waking vision of in the clouds, HE let me see how FEW of you have a relationship with Jesus. In the clouds it looked big enough for hundreds maybe thousands. That means MANY are "Christian" by name ONLY.
@@jeremiahkirby6552 hey Jeremiah if that’s your vision, it’s probably a unique calling for you to share the gospel in love and truth We need to carry light !
@@MatthewFayson Hi Matthew! I went into an auto parts store then I had to to again. I had the same cashier. She asked "Why are you always happy" and I said "Why do you think that" and she said "Because you have Jesus" and I said "That's right". They ALL know. Can't make someone have a relationship with Jesus. PRIDE will land MANY in the lake of fire. Comes down to this ALL had numerous chances. Jesus paid such a hefty price for our sins and so MANY are missing it. MANY have already traded an eternity of bliss for momentary pleasures. All about choice.
Your preaching what i always say also. Hardly expected to find another person who thinks as strongly about this as i do. BUT.. i think you face the same challenge as i do. People don't want to view it this way.. and because there is so much resistance..we need to be double careful what we say. After timestamp 8:00 i feel you'd be a lot more convincing if you said something like "i can tell you for certain that i was not saved" because this is the part that many will think your just giving opinion.. rather than fact. Of course.. i don't want to put words in your mouth.. ESPECIALLY i don't want you to say your certain about something you don't feel certain about.
Hey, thanks for the thoughts My goal here isn’t to be all knowing. I do believe what I said to be true but I’m also very open to The Lord convicting me and changing my mind. According to my understanding - I wasn’t saved, I confessed Jesus but lived however I wanted to. I wasn’t truly repenting I just didn’t like the idea of doing the wrong thing but further than that I didn’t care that much
basically, if you call Jesus Lord, but then dont treat him as such your lying. like when you tell a toddler let go of the candy and go eat your dinner, and the toddler says okay, ive let go of the candy while they are still sucking on the candy. sin ultimately isnt sweet like candy, but thats what it like. i know its hard for some people to stop sins they are addicted to, thats why we should pray that God would take it out of our hand whether its painful or not.
Yes. Good Word! If Jesus is my Lord, then I should submit. I have 3 enemies in the world. 1 - My flesh (pride, selfishness), 2 - the world (Hollywood, the media, people and places I CHOOSE to allow in my life) and 3 - Satan (the spiritual enemy of God and His creation [me]).
We’re saved by believing the Gospel. Period. If you believe that Jesus paid for all of your sins by shedding his blood and dying on the cross and rose from the dead, YOU ARE SAVED. A changed lifestyle isn’t what saves you or even proves you’re saved. Following Jesus has to do with discipleship, not salvation. The will of the father is to believe the record that God gave of his son (Jesus), which is that he died, was buried, and rose again the third day for your sins. It’s that easy. Anything other than simply believing in Jesus is a false gospel. Repentance is simply a change of mind. It is NOT turning from sins. If turning from sins was required to get to heaven then we’re all going to Hell. If we’re not saved by works, then works cannot be the evidence that we’re really saved. That’s a huge contradiction. Think about it.
Repentance, changing your mind, has to be followed by a change of action / the pursuit to change action - I’m not preaching a works gospel in the sense that we can work our way into heaven. I’m preaching a Gospel about what it looks like when Jesus is Lord over you. Jesus requires our obedient heart. That doesn’t mean we never make mistakes. It means our eye is focused on his kingdom and his spirit, our intentions are to operate according to Godly Love and to refrain from sin. We water this down and create a really dangerous environment for ourselves and others. I imagine the disciples doing everything they could to pursue righteousness through Christ. His death and resurrection are the things that give us the authority that we did not have under the law. (We lacked the Holy Spirit) as we Pursue the Holy Spirit we are empowered (not by our works) but by his spirit Our “works” are not what get us to heaven, but they are surely a response to whether or not we believe the Power of God at heart. My goal is to empower believers to understand that we have an authority to pursue the Holy Spirit and to live in the Holiness that God calls us to but it’s only through a true gospel Matthew 7:21-23 [21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. [22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. - Luke 6:46 [46] And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say? - Romans 8:1 [1] There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, (who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.) - Romans 8:4 [4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. - Romans 8:6-7 [6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
@@MatthewFayson The people in Matthew 7 are FALSE PROPHETS who trusted in their WORKS to get them to heaven. That’s why Jesus told them to depart from him because he NEVER knew them. They never trusted in Jesus alone for salvation. It wasn’t that they weren’t doing good works or doing the “will” of the father by doing more good deeds. The will of the father is to believe on the son (Jesus Christ) You cannot use works as the proof of salvation. Matthew 7 proves this. You’re contradicting yourself by saying that works don’t get you saved, BUT if you’re “really” saved you’ll have good works to prove it by living a holy life. You are mixing salvation and discipleship together. They are not the same thing. Salvation is a one time event when you put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ as the sufficient payment for your sins. When you believe the gospel you are eternally saved from that moment on. How you live your life after that has to do with spiritual growth, or discipleship. Once you marry the two together, you are absolutely trusting in YOUR works as a part of your salvation.
@@HarpsDad22 1. I genuinely appreciate your dialogue 2. Humility - my ability to “do good” has nothing to do with my personal ability to do good. I’m filthy. My work can’t do anything for me. The point of my work is not to save me. Salvation is by the grace of God through our faith But I do I have involvement in whether or not I inherit the kingdom of God. Because of his grace through my faith it is not of my works that God has presented this opportunity and there is no point of me even trying to WORK my debt off with good deeds My work doesn’t cause God to send Jesus for Me. My work also cannot delete my sins (this is the purpose of Jesus doing what he did) So Jesus is the only one to forgive sin and that happens by grace through faith - I think we agree on that But now that this is established - I have a choice to make. I either yield to him as Lord and pursuit the spirit that he gave us to have power of sin OR I continue in sin WILLFULLY which is truly a sign that I do not understand the purpose of the cross and or the purpose of the Holy Spirit The Holy Spirit gives us a power over sin and also certain types of supernatural gifting If I reject the Holy Spirit, reject the power over sin, and continue after the fleshly state I have not truly come into agreement with christ. If I’m not in agreement with Christ - he is not Lord over me My work doesn’t save me. Separate from the cross my work means nothing But after the understanding of the cross, the work I do (whether it be in loving others or choosing to do evil) has EVERYTHING to do with the true condition of my heart Jesus gives us very fair warnings about the need for a seed sewn (hearing the gospel and receiving it) needing to actually mature into good fruit Many people who say Jesus is Lord will not enter the kingdom of heaven because the position of their heart - you’re 100% correct Matthew 7 isn’t strictly talking about religious leaders ANYONE who calls Jesus Lord and has no agreement with obedience to him doesn’t truly have him as lord over them. Our faith in Christ, must promote a life in Christ and after the Holy Spirit Those are not my words those are the words of Scripture Roman’s 8 talks about it a lot
John 3:16 for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him may not perish but have eternal life notice it's says believe in him not receive and it says eternal life Not conditional, not if you do good deeds. Eternal eternal means for all eternity Ephesians 2: 8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith and it's not from your self's it's a gift of God not by works so that no one can boast Notice it says we are saved by grace. A gift from God so we won't boast. Not by our works. It's very clear that all the work Christ did on the cross. For our salvation. It's. What save does if we're depending on our works Is we are depending on sinners , which will not Give a salvation only Is believing what jesus did on the cross And daddy died for you and god rose him up from the dead That's the proper way and the only way to heaven John 1:12 Yet to all who did receive him. Those who believed in his name, he gave the Power become children of God. Is the scripture says receive Because you're receiving by faith.What he did on the cross for you.Dying and finishing the work on the cross for our salvation But it is clear for those who believed in His nameThat's the keywords right there. I encourage you to go to the UA-cam channel Bible line. They have a few videos there that explains in details what the word really says. Paul preaches free granetwork salvation. Be careful with the gospel is clear. We are saved by grace. As far as ourselves, we do not have a license to sin There are consequences But not lost of salvation once were saved , we cannot Lose our salvation, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit to the date of redemption. God deals with the believers different than with the unbelievers, we are chastised. And we. Lose heavenly rewards for our salvation is eternal. People get that twisted. And they think that just because you're have eternal security. You could say in however you want. No, it has consequences, but not lost. Our salvation, it's secure and what Christ did on the cross for us. Hope this helped visit Bible land they will get in further details there and you will see the gospel is simple. It's not complicated. Too many people with too many false doctrines.Paul warned about this Hope this was helpful.God bless you , my brother , I'll Pray for you
the moment you hear a man say "we're not saved by works" you already know he has no clue what the verse means he is quoting and definitely learned from some you tube short magician or the likes . Paul is talking about the works of the old covenant , the law , you could just as accurately replace the word works with "law of Moses" and say " we are not saved by the law of Moses" . The works James is talking about , is obedience , and this we are saved by regardless if you like it or believe it or not , faith without works is dead and a man is not justified by faith alone . If you do not have the fruit , your faith was dead and you will be the dry branch from John 15 , you are the person from timothy heaping up teachers to your itchy ears because you did not want to live for God or serve God , you wanted a free pass out of hell while living for yourself . let's keep this really simple , hebrews 5:9 says Jesus is the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him and does not say those who believe him , even the demons believe , we did not get here because adam did not believe in God , he did not obey God . The point of your faith is your obedience because it is your disobedience that separates you from God and disobedience comes from those who do not believe God , faith is your foundation for obedience . You can say you believe God , but if you deny him in works , you don't , you believe in whatever you feel like believing , you believe in false doctrines from men , like Jesus said , why call me Lord and do not the things I say , sounds like he wants works from you , obedience , why isn't he just happy you call him Lord with your mouth and believe in your heart? the bible needs to be read as an entire message and not 1 verse or scattered verses even , yes we believe , yes its by grace , yes its by faith , but all of this does not all of a sudden make obedience disappear , you still need to crucify the flesh , take up your cross , deny yourself daily , work out your own salvation with fear , save yourselves from this untoward generation and so on , all found in scriptures they never quote . you know why they do not quote them? they are not of God , they don't have his spirit , they are making money , getting fame online and don't wanna mess it all up , they like their perks and connections and success and the church buildings are doing the same on smaller scales . just trust Jesus Christ , the word , get a King James , don't fall for this all translations are Gods word , its nonsense , get a KJB , stop saying Gods a trinity , repent of your sin , get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and not his titles , live holy for God and out of love , you will indeed serve him , I don't feel forced to serve God , I love my Father , I wanna see his plan succeed and be apart of it . if you deny this , its at your own destruction , but I tried and God tried through me and others , there is no rapture coming for you before Jesus arrives at the end , you need to follow the above and endure as a light in the darkness , stop falling for these false doctrines , get a sound mind , study to show thyself approved.
Brother, don't diminish the power of faith. Faith alone is ENOUGH to get you saved. However, true faith always produces fruits. And don't judge people with little fruits. There might be something they don't know. Maybe they misunderstand God. Maybe the pastor isn't that good at teaching. Just because they have little fruits doesn't mean they're not saved. And pursuing the spirit of God doesn't get you saved either because we're saved by grace, not by our works. You know this and explained this well in the video. Don't fight sins with the law because the power of sin is the law. The more law you give people to do, the more sins they'll do. Do you want people to obey and trust God? Then teach them how much God loves them! Not scare them! If we know we're loved so much by God, we will stop wanting to sin. Also, you need to know your real identity. We are a 3-part being: spirit, soul, and body. The real us is the spirit, not the soul and body (the flesh). If we keep saying, don't sin, don't sin, don't sin, we'll sin in the end. But if we BELIEVE that we are God's children. We are His favorites. We have died with Christ. We are a new creature. The old us has died. Then we'll have the power to get out of sins. Basically, if you are a tree and you want to produce oranges, you have to become an orange tree. If you are an apple tree, you'll never produce apples no matter how much you try. The good news is that when we are saved, we get to be Children of God. We are like Jesus. We are Jesus tree now and if we keep believing, we'll produce Jesus's fruits soon. We are not sinners anymore. We are righteous through Christ. Please do try to read Romans again through the lens of LAW vs Grace. Flesh vs Spirit. And you'll see it more clearly. Let the love of God and His grace do the work because the goodness of God leads you to repentance. No rush! Everyone's growing like a tree. It'll take time. God bless you. I'd love to talk with you though. If you want to, please let me know. I'll email you.
@@GhostOfJade also remember - many people are experiencing the same thing so try not to isolate yourself with your condition but rather glorify Jesus for everything that you DO have and share with others who need hope Lets bind any thoughts of isolation and submit them to the lord - you aren’t alone in your journey
Romans 4:5 (KJV) But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. We can't earn merit Gods favor,all we can do is believe that the Lord Jesus Christ paid our sin debt in full at the cross with his perfect blood 1cor15:1-4, Ephesians 2:8-9
Brother, I see your zeal for the Lord and your genuine heart for others to know Him, so I encourage you to get deeper in the scriptures and ask God for more revelation of His wonderful grace. Salvation is that easiest thing to acquire in this world, all it takes is faith. Yes, it’s that simple and easy. Confessing with our mouths the Lord Jesus and believing with our hearts he rose from the dead is all it it takes, no questions asked. No amount of “repenting, turning away from sin, following Jesus” can get us saved, it’s all by His grace. All these things are fruits, not roots of our salvation, because otherwise, if we had any strength to do them for salvation, Christ didn’t need to come to live a perfect life for us, be fully obedient to God, fulfill the Law, then die and resurrect. All the verses you pointed that seemingly seems to contradict simply believing and confessing for salvation, must be interpreted in their context, as you rightly pointed. Context is key. I’ll give you a clue: Romans 7-8 is dealing with law (self effort, i.e flesh) v. grace (e.i the spirit).
Hey my man thanks for your comment I’ve left this comment on a few others responses here. It may detail more of my thought 1. We are Saved by the Grace of God through our Faith. There is no amount of work that saves us. Whether that work is fulfilling commandments, being charitable, being a good person, etc NO WORK SAVES YOU 2. But when you Confess/Agree that Jesus is Lord, you are stating that you are willing to submit to his authority over you. Rather than being your own God or submitting to any other God, you bend your knee to Jesus. Which does produce work/actions that reflect Jesus. That doesn't mean that I act perfect. It means my pursuit is his Spirit and not to carelessly live according to my own flesh. So I’m actively searching scripture and allowing the Bible to correct me, doing that willfully (this doesn’t save me but it’s wise to do) 3. When you Believe that God raises Jesus from the dead. You should also know why he did it. Jesus is killed to pay the cost of sin, When he's raised back up, God is displaying His Divinity, His Power, His Authority, & Truth. To believe that God raised him from the Grave is to believe that Jesus was prophetically true about who he was and also that The Father in Heaven has the ultimate power over all things, even that which defies nature. He's Supernatural. Which is important to believe because we cannot naturally cleanse ourselves with works, we need a supernatural cleanser & a supernatural encounter to cleanse us or we would need to die (do to our sin) 4. When we come into realization of this, we also inherit the Holy Spirit, which gives us authority over sin the same way Jesus had authority over sin. It also gives us conviction to care for the things that Jesus cares for. Which is completely unnatural to someone who is not born again. My ability to refrain from sin, is not due to my discipline or will power. My ability to refrain from sin has nothing to do with my "works" but everything to do with the work of the Holy Spirit working in me that produces a work/evidence 5. When I say our work is evidence of salvation, I'm really trying to say that the Holy Spirit working within me, Provokes Goodness, and it provokes an objection to sin (pursuit of righteousness). It isn't that I'm working my way to salvation, it's that salvation is actually working on me and in me and it shows up in my actions. 6. A person who is not changing or at least convicted of change / desiring change etc they aren't reborn. They are still in the nature of the flesh - even if they said Jesus is Lord. This video is challenging the idea of “confessing something with your mouth that you don’t truly believe” Belief in Christ ALWAYS produces fruit
Also wanted to say - thank you for defending the faith man. One thing I always want to spot line is when people are coming from the heart to defend the faith and to help others. So even if there is some level of disagreement, I’m grateful for you.
People who are humble, meek, and good, will be saved. They need to wake up to truth though. Jesus means Savior. Heavenly Father chooses a new savior when he needs to.

Not of works, lest any man should boast." ("any man" is the "unbeliever" who never believed in Jesus. Because unbeliever's don't know they are not to count on their works as the way into heaven. For Jesus Christ requires faith in [his/Jesus's] work, for he is the Gate to heaven, on that narrow path that leads strait to the gate that is Christ Jesus.) Titus 3: 3-7 KJV "For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life."
@@thewhole_picture1743 if you mix repentance with salvation from hell fire, you are in a wrong gospel because you are basically saying if you want to see God the father and know him you should first repent from all in order to gain access to see the Lord that is a false gospel, Those who actually see the Lord Jesus without any repentance and just by grace alone Jesus itself change their hearts and he is the one who produces the repentance.

Works are instrumental for salvation Look at this: *Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth - those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. John 5:28-29 (NKJV)* Trust the bible.
Works are by "Sanctification", not "Salvation." Also, the NKJV is a counterfeit bible, as is every translation that came out since it, and the ASV. Read the KJV, where nothing has been added/subtract, or modified.
You came so close, my friend. Why stop short of obeying God’s command to be baptized for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:37-38)? To wash away your sins (Acts 22:16)? To be saved (Mark 16:16; 1 Peter 3:21)? To be born of water and Spirit (John 3:5)? It is no more a work of man than repentance and living faithfully. It is the work of God (Colossians 2:12). It is what the Ethiopian eunuch did in Acts 8 after Philip “preached Jesus to him.” How would the Ethiopian know to ask for water baptism unless Philip had preached it as part of preaching Jesus? You are on the right track, and SO close! Think about this: You mentioned context in Romans. The same goes for Ephesians. Paul wasn’t saying in Ephesians 2 that God has no requirements of us. Look at the context of “works” there. He was talking about the works of the law of Moses. Water baptism is the mode which God has chosen to wash us in His blood. Romans 6 says “united with Him IN THE LIKENESS of His death.” and “IN THE LIKENESS of His resurrection.” What can be more “in the likeness” of that than immersion in and emergence from water? That is the likeness of his death, burial, and resurrection - the gospel. Romans 6 is describing how we “obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.” The Bible tells us that Jesus will take “vengeance on those who do not know God and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord, Jesus.” (2 Thessalonians 1:8). Obey it in faith and be saved! God, by grace, gave us His plan to save us. That is “by grace.” Our part is to believe him enough to obey His command. That is “through faith.” So, yes, we are indeed saved by grace, through faith. Without God’s plan that HE made, nothing we could ever do would save us. We could dip ourselves in water a million times, and it would be nothing more than getting wet. It’s true - God’s plan of salvation is “not of ourselves.” Not OF us. We didn’t invent it or give it its power - we can’t. Acknowledging that water immersion is part of that plan does not negate God’s grace in any way. Just like Noah couldn’t take credit for saving himself by building an ark, we can’t take credit for baptism’s power to save us. We merely submit in obedience through faith to what God has commanded. It’s power to save us is God’s power by his grace, obeyed by us through faith. Do you understand?
I have always believed what you're saying I have always believed that people have Grace so confused. My biggest fear is I don't know that I grasped the will of the Father. Is it just to repent and live as sin free life as possible? I was raised in church and Christian School an my faith is so strong but I am and have always been freaking out about that one scripture you just read and I'm afraid that Jesus will tell me he never knew me because I don't understand the will of the Father for my life.
@@sharpuverse7465 Hey, here’s my understanding 1. We are Saved by the Grace of God through our Faith. There is no amount of work that saves us.

But when you Confess/Agree that Jesus is Lord, you are stating that you are willing to submit to his authority over you.

A person who is not changing or at least convicted of change / desiring change etc they aren't reborn. They are still in the nature of the flesh - even if they said Jesus is Lord. Specifically because they honor him with their lips but their heart is far from him. So to sum all of that up, the only way to heaven is to place your faith in Jesus Christ as lord and belief in the power/purpose of his mission on earth / God raising Jesus from the dead When you’ve truly come to this point in faith, you receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is what seals you. The Lord is abundantly Good, so faithful and forgiving, don’t let this post scare you and put you in constant fear let it aware you and provoke you to seek the Father. Lastly, we must forgive others to be forgiven by the Lord
And I guess I should have clarified did I do believe in His grace but I feel like it was kind of the same kind of Grace that my dad bestowed upon me when he brought my second car when I was in high school because I totaled my 1st. By God's grace and sending his son to die for our sins we can gain eternal life and it is not by works. And no I don't believe that keeping the commandments will get you to heaven but Jesus said if you love me you will keep all of my father's commandments
Man I'm stuck in Kokomo Indiana and I wish you were my next door neighbor brother as God is separated me from the world and I have no friends LOL thank you for all you said to me
And see the message about repentance is about us living by the law because repentance is turning away from breaking those commandments so no our works don't say this but our works are expected
I think that people are confused on what works are. I think that works and The 10 Commandments or moral law are different things. I don’t know I’m just learning all this and people do make it confusing at times

@@MatthewFayson yes this I agree with. There is no way to God in Heaven without accepting that Jesus is the only way for we are all sinners. And it happens when you surrender yourself to him. I believe if you simply accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior but do nothing as for repenting of your sins you are traveling down the broad path which leads to destruction.
Let me make this clear. We Christians believe the Bible is infallible and inerrant. Therefore, there are no half-truth about the Bible's teachings. Romans 10:9 clearly states "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;" If you confess Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe in what the Bible teaches, it means God the Father has called you, because you were written in the book of life before the foundations of the world (Matthew 25:34) and Jesus will make sure you will be saved (John 3:14-18).
And Mathew 5:18 says until Heaven and earth have passed one jot or one tittle shall pass from the law, until ALL be fulfilled… So until Jesus comes back the second time to judge everyone we still need to be following his commandments. Yes - No ?
Hey Victor, 1. Thank you for defending the gospel, I have the same goal. 2. I believe 100% of what you just stated - up until "Jesus will make sure you will be saved", I may not understand what you're saying, but on a general sense, I don't believe that Jesus will force salvation onto anyone, so I'm curious as to what you mean by this comment. - While I believe the scriptures, I'm challenging our understanding of what they mean and trying to bring context to them. 1. We are Saved by the Grace of God through our Faith. There is no amount of work that saves us. Whether that work is fulfilling commandments, being charitable, being a good person, etc NO WORK SAVES YOU 2. But when you Confess/Agree that Jesus is Lord, you are stating that you are willing to submit to his authority over you. Rather than being your own God or submitting to any other God, you bend your knee to Jesus. Which does produce work/actions that reflect Jesus. That doesn't mean that I act perfect. It means my pursuit is his Spirit and not to carelessly live according to my own flesh 3. When you Believe that God raises Jesus from the dead. You should also know why he did it. Jesus is killed to pay the cost of sin, When he's raised back up, God is displaying His Divinity, His Power, His Authority, & Truth. To believe that God raised him from the Grave is to believe that Jesus was prophetically true about who he was and also that The Father in Heaven has the ultimate power over all things, even that which defies nature. He's Supernatural. Which is important to believe because we cannot naturally cleanse ourselves with works, we need a supernatural cleanser & a supernatural encounter to cleanse us or we would need to die (do to our sin) - I think we agree on that part....but 4. When we come into realization of this, we also inherit the Holy Spirit, which gives us authority over sin the same way Jesus had authority over sin. It also gives us conviction to care for the things that Jesus cares for. Which is completely unnatural to someone who is not born again. My ability to refrain from sin, is not due to my discipline or will power. My ability to refrain from sin has nothing to do with my "works" but everything to do with the work of the Holy Spirit working in me that produces a work/evidence 5. When I say our work is evidence of salvation, I'm really trying to say that the Holy Spirit working within me, Provokes Goodness, and it provokes an objection to sin (pursuit of righteousness). It isn't that I'm working my way to salvation, it's that salvation is actually working on me and in me and it shows up in my actions. 6.

Acts 3:19 - You have to turn from sin and this demonic world. 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 Come from among them 1 Peter 2:9 -We are a chosen generation. Peculiar people from a royal priesthood. God called us out of darkness unto his marvelous light. 2 Corinthians 6:14 Light and darkness don’t mix. Mathew 19:17; Mark 2:22 Luke 5:37-39 New wine and old wine can’t be in the same wineskin and be spilled. I Peter 1:16 Be ye holy for God is holy. Philippians 2:15-18 , Psalm 19:13 Blameless and pure . Revelation 7:14 Washing your own robe in the blood 🩸 of the lambs and be beheaded in the 7 year tribulation if you are lift behind after the rapture. Hebrews: 10:22-24 washed in the blood before the rapture 🩸 Act 2 Filled with the power of the Holy Ghost that keeps you from sinning. 2 Chronicles 7:14 God said if my people are called by my name and turn from their wicket was then will I hear from heaven and heal their land. Mathew’s 6:24 No one can serve 2 masters. It’s mammon = money - Satan or Jesus. Revelation 3:16. You can’t be lukewarm because God will spue you out of his mouth. He rather for you to be cold or hot. Romans 10:9 is causing a lot of Christians to go to hell because they using it as a doctoring and wrong interpretation. You have to compare other scriptures to see what other qualities and morals we have to live by. EXAMPLE: Are you obeying the 10 commandment? Are you loving and forgiving your enemies. You can’t live like the devil’s child all week then Sundays you belong to God. Hypocrite Status and danger ‼️ zone . Sorry 😂so long. I just wanted to cross reference his question so he and everyone can study. ❤God bless
You are literally walking back what Jesus did on the cross for our redemption and making it about never sinning. We are incapable of not sinning. It is a lesson learned throughout the ENTIRE Bible. Check out Romans 7: 14-25 as one example. And the Bible is NOT one book as you claim in the beginning of your video, it is a compilation of many books. Did you seek the Lord's wisdom before posting this? If you are seriously thinking what you say here is Jesus' Truth I am afraid you have been deceived by the enemy. Many who are saved are under extreme spiritual attack right now because we are in the end times. I will pray that Jesus confirms/reaffirms the real Truth of His sacrifice for you.
He never said we are capable of NOT EVER SINNING. He quoted the scripture about PURSUING your sin. Major difference. Many believers are certainly under attack right now as we are in the end times. And many believers are operating with a religious spirit……
Nothing about what I said denies anything about what Jesus did on the cross. As I’ve mentioned before We are saved purely by the grace of God through our faith. Our work has nothing to do with washing away our sin. In this way - works aren’t related to salvation We cannot work our way into erasing our sin. But if we look at the conversation of salvation in its entirety - we find that anyone truly coming to the knowledge of Jesus Christ / anyone who has confessed Jesus as Lord is supernatural moved toward consecration which can only happen through the grace of God. Our work does not save us, but continued sinful behavior is evidence that we have not been renewed. If we then deny that renewal we are indeed denying the Holy Spirit - you cannot be saved and deny the Holy Spirit at once This is all well documented in Roman’s In addition to this - we have to open our minds to the words Jesus spoke Matthew 7:21 - not all who call me lord will enter the kingdom but those who do the will of my father. This isn’t because our work saves us, but it is because our submission to Christ causes the work of Christ to be done in and through us Though I respect what you’re trying to communicate, I would very much like for you to speak from scripture and not from tradition My scriptural references have been stated Matthew 7:21 Luke 6:46 Roman’s 8:1 (specifically the latter half of that verse) Roman’s 8:4 (the latter half) Roman’s 8:14 Then I’m interested to know why Jesus tells the rich young ruler to give away his possessions - my understanding is that the work / willingness to give away his possession revealed the true condition of what was in his heart Our unwillingness to pursue the spirit of God / yield to Jesus with obedience is a pure evidence that we either don’t truly believe in the depth of our heart or that we believe but are Luke warm
@@MatthewFayson alright, what you've said here all aligns with what I also believe. Your video however was sounding quite different and my worry is that it could make people question their salvation so much so that it could put unnecessary doubt in their hearts possibly leaving them open to the enemy. I must admit I did not watch the entire video as I didn't want to continue hearing what seemed like false doctrine. Clearly you know what you are about and I apologize for criticizing you. God bless you!
@@ct012 I’m not owed an apology, what you did is what you should’ve done You were defending the gospel which I appreciate, regardless of a disagreement, your desire was to defend the gospel. It also put a conviction on me to add clarity which I noticed was needed after reading your comment. I don’t want anyone to feel as if they are being condemned but I also don’t mind someone questioning themselves - sometimes we need those questions to drive us into real relationship Lastly I don’t want anyone to think that they can work themselves into Gods grace, what I’m attempting to communicate is that once confession of Christ happens, there should be a shift of the spirit This doesn’t mean I am perfect in my actions, but rather than I have inherited a spirit of obedience that causes me to pursue the spirit rather than the flesh Something I wish that I would’ve added - we can’t look at each other’s “sins” and decide who is saved vs who is not We are all in different seasons of transformation I have certain struggles that you don’t have but if I am saved I will be in pursuit of obedience rather than in pursuit of satisfying my flesh That’s my opinion based on my understanding of scripture
In Mathew 7 when he says depart from me you workers of iniquity I never knew you… doesn’t iniquity mean Lawlessness? You still have to obey the commandments, I’m not saying that if you sin again you are out but you have to put an effort to sin no more. 🤷♂️
This is Lordship Salvation. If you do anything to aid in your salvation, that is a work. Salvation is NOT of works so that NO MAN may boast. But yes, I do still Repent, not to get saved, but because I already am saved as thanks to the Lord.
This is the same comment I’ve left on other responses for extreme clarity 1. We are Saved by the Grace of God through our Faith. There is no amount of work that saves us.

What would you suggest for someone who has had a lifelong struggle with addiction? The Lord has changed my heart dramatically but my struggle with addiction continues.
@@otrinity8381 hey, interesting enough I was actually planning to record a video tonight about addiction (which I’ve personally dealt with) I won’t claim to have every answer on this but I’m really happy to share my experience (which was very successful and I no longer deal with it) It was EXTREMELY hard for me until I had a few key revelations If I get this uploaded tonight / tomorrow I’ll be sure to let you know If not, I’m going to have it up by Monday morning - In the mean time: I hope you know the Lord loves you even more than you can imagine and he is not “mad” at you for struggling. Your desire for change is beautiful and I genuinely think the father is pleased that you have desire to pursue him at a deeper level. Addiction is hard, you aren’t alone, and I believe that your time is coming where you’ll be able to tell people about your testimony I can’t wait to share the next video!!
my view on people with addiction struggles. Many addictions that people have.. hardly changes God's view of that person. What is really important in my mind is the person must be honest with themselves and with God. But it's hard when a person doesn't even know they themselves are deceived. I want to quote Matthew 7:22... to point out deception.. however.. i don't think the passage is specifically teaching it's a "truth in your own heart" issue.. BUT.. that's what i'd like you to consider as you view this quote. On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name? ' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.
@@cryptfire3158 hey My friend - as always thanks for adding thoughts Personally I don’t relate this scripture to addiction in any way. Addiction is an interesting thing because it isn’t necessarily an issue of someone’s will but more an issue of the system they function under - I’ll explain this in depth when the video is up Personally I think God has tons of empathy toward the person with addiction, many people with addiction are pursuing that desire and don’t want to change Many others want to change and don’t know how to change it because again they are functioning under a system that has quite literally altered the brain Really excited to share my personally experience here
Hey, sorry it took longer than expected but I just made a video about addiction, I’m going to probably create a more extended resource but this is a start
@@Diegocasto920 I believe confessing with your mouth and believing with your heart is the entire truth I think we just miss the point on what that means - so we loosely say it “I believe Jesus died for my sins” having no clue what we are even talking about and then living a life that clearly shows we don’t understand what we are talking about
@@MatthewFaysonso if we confess him as our lord and believe in him and repent and turn away from sin because what Jesus did for us is that being saved.?
Great vid! Heres the manner I look at this topic: Name ~= way When one confesses christ as lord it has nothing to do with the name, nothing to do with the per-son (Jesus was "no respecter of persons") and everything to do with the path that Jesus walked. That is why the man who hears christs preaching and does "builds his house on a rock", and those who do not are serving "both God and mammon". In general, actions should always align with belief if the eye is to be single.
My man! Your comment was drowning by all the commotion haha thanks for watching. I'm not sure I understood the first half of your comment. Can you explain
@@MatthewFayson fwiw, this is coffee shop Matt. You know that the snake staff moses used to repel the adders became an idol? In the second book of kings that the staff was destroyed because the people weren't respecting it properly. Similar to how God rebuked folk who were worshipping the moon in isaiah - the new moon was meant to be a psychological aid indicating that "you always have the chance to renew", but it became effectively a per-verse replacement for God's uni-versal (and beyond!) nature. For too many people, Jesus has gone the way of the staff of Moses- an incredibly appropriate analogy given that Jesus himself suggested his purpose was likened unto the staff of Moses. The godspells were meant to direct folks attention back to the Father who is All, Jesus never wanted worship. "None are good but god", "be ye perfect as the father is perfect", "it is not me who speaks but the father". Etc. Unfortunately folk worship Jesus/christ, this isn't really correct. They think the name is special, they think the per-son is special; in a sense they aren't wrong, he was a very unique man and a blessing to humanity. But his name is not important, nor his sonship imho - what is most important is that we emulate his behavior, which re-son-ates easily with humanity because the law is already written on our hearts per jeremiah(I think, maybe isaiah. In emulating Jesus we are respecting the law that is already on our hearts and thus the eye becomes single. By emulating christ we align our mind/body/spirit with the Father, this is the purpose of jesus. I'm ADD I think 😄 lmk of that clarifies my stance. I think your video did a great job of expressing that mere lips service is unacceptable, I love that you brought this to people's attention.
... someone flagged me I think, I gave a robust response to your question, I don't feel like repeating. This is coffee shop Matt, just ask me in person when you see me

For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

For Jesus Christ requires faith in [his/Jesus's] work, for he is the Gate to heaven, on that narrow path that leads strait to the gate that is Christ Jesus.) Titus 3: 3-7 KJV "For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." ---------------------------------------------------------- The Gospel Romans 3:21-26 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

You make a mistake at the beginning, saying "we were taught" and "you dig deeper". It's called "reading the bibel". God teaches you His word and most of us read it every day, because He is the word and we love Him. I haven't watched the entire video, but I am happy that you now read the bibel. Continue and grow in His word. God bless! And read the epistle to the corinthians and check then again if you really want to put a baseball cap on while talking about God. Nobody wears a hat at home anyway but Paul is clear on head coverings.
What about a drug addiction (Suboxone) where the person really, really hates it, and is haunted with guilt and fear of Hell and loathes their own disobedience to God. Yet they cannot break free of it.....what then? Are the damned?
@@itsjustme8846 this is just me talking right now - I don’t have any scripture for this thought. My dad was a life long addict and died in his 50’s He seemed to genuinely love the Lord. I’m not sure the fullness of his relationship with Jesus, but I’d like to think that he received the mercy of God. Addictions are tough - we open ourselves up to them, but I once they change the chemistry in our brain - really hard to break. My advice would be to go watch the video on my channel called addiction no more It may really help you. I personally believe everyone can be freed from addiction with the right information, action, and support But u think it’s really important to believe it The same power that lifted Jesus from the grave is available to us when we have submitted to Jesus as lord and believe that God raised him from the grave…we then receive the Holy Spirit and have power of a sound mind which is needed to end addictions. Please watch that video on the page and see if it helps
If they believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord & savior. They are forgiven, and understand this. God is the "Author" of LOVE, and [is] LOVE. There is nothing he wouldn't do to save a person who has done any wrong. All he asks is to believe in Jesus Christ. For we were created in his image, and losing anyone of us because we [chose] not to believe on Jesus, breaks his heart immensely, because he does not want to live apart from us. Acts 13: 38-39 KJV Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that [believe] are justified from [all things], from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
@@JesusIsRealJ1247 hey, again I think my communication is highly misunderstand What constitutes as belief in a person. Is it to believe that Jesus existed and to belief in the purpose of why he came to the earth? Further, I have no disagreement with any scripture, scripture is accurately - but it seems that people isolate scripture when salvation comes into question I’m not comfortable doing that. So as frequently as we can say by grace and through faith / not of any man’s works that they may boast / etc We can also find an equally weighed argument for the expectation of living your faith out and not just saying it loosely Jesus, Paul, & James all expressed this
Im fully of this belief. 1. No man can work his way to salvation. It’s impossible and a lost cause 2. Once a man or woman comes to the faith truly, their condition changes. When a person says Jesus is Lord, it indicates that they are yielding to him as the authority over them. 3. Confessing Jesus as lord and saying I’m going to live my way and please myself how I like isn’t an agreement that he’s lord. So we need to ask what does it mean to believe. There are many warnings about people who professed faith but weren’t honest in their professing of it
Didn't the prisoner on the Cross next to Jesus defend Jesus and say "Please remember me when you go into your Kingdom"? What do you say about that (genuinely asking)
@@blitz2725 that’s the interesting thing about the kingdom - that man’s heart, Jesus knew that it was truly for him. For that man to recognize the purity of Christ in that moment of complete suffering, for him to realize the glory of Jesus, was only revealed by the power of God. Personally, I imagine this man, could see the suffering of Christ and knew something was different about him - in his heart He realized the truth, even though it was the last “hour” of that man’s life. I believe if his physical life was spared, he would’ve become like the disciples, pursuing the will of God. It’s hard to imagine knowing the truth about Jesus and rejected to fully pursue Him. It’s hard to imagine understanding the purpose of the Holy Spirit and then simultaneously saying “I’m going to do whatever I want” it just doesn’t mix, so I believe that man would’ve pursued righteousness through Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit if he remained alive Lastly I don’t think there is a special treatment for being in the “club” longer than someone else. Specifically relating to salvation but once you’re in heaven I do believe the rewards are different. I could look and say “that’s not fair” or I could look and say “thank you lord for your mercy on that man’s life, even in the last hour” That’s my opinion
@@blitz2725 also, remember one of the men being crucified showed no change of heart, he just wanted God to save him “Aren’t you the messiah, save yourself and us” While the other man repented, recognizing that he was suffering a just punishment so then he asks Jesus to remember him with humility Some people just want God to save them from wrath others recognize what they deserve and through humility are seeking forgiveness that only comes through Jesus
So, not just anybody said that if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth you will be saved. The Bible says it. Verbatim. Give Romans 10 a read.
@@medic4christ777 hey there, I think you might be missing the point of what’s being said in the video This isn’t disagreeing with Roman’s ten - it’s more of an emphasis on what it means. The idea of loosely saying it misleads a lot of people. We need to think with some context, reading the things that Paul said before this. Even more, we need to look at all of the things Jesus says about entering the kingdom
@@MatthewFayson You are saying Romans 10 misleads people? Romans 10 is pretty clear. Salvation is a free gift received by believing. Jesus says the same. Let Gods word be true and every man a liar. I’ll stick with the Word, thanks.
@@MatthewFayson What I hear you saying is that we should take the clear teaching of how to be saved in Romans 10 with a grain of salt, and instead listen to you about how someone is REALLY saved. Then you proceed to add works to the requirement for salvation. My friend, you are on a dangerous path.
@@medic4christ777 I’m going to spell this out so that no one is confused by what you’re saying - which is definitely not what I’m saying Here we go folks 1. We are saved by the grace of God, through the work of Christ, which we place our faith into. We believe that Jesus died, paying the price for our sins. We are filthy rags, there is nothing that a human being can do to EARN salvation. Even if you did all the good work in the world, you’re already dirty. No amount of good work can cleanse you to perfection which is why Jesus is in charge of perfecting us. 2. When you have truly placed your faith in Christ, it will become evident through conviction (which the law of God and Holy Spirit help us to realize) 3. When you truly have placed your faith in Christ it changes your heart from desiring to please yourself at all cost, to then, desiring to do the will of the father which includes produces good work. 4. Your good work cannot save you, but the absence of pursuing the goodness of the Lord, pursuing the Holy Spirit, being unrepentant, etc is evidence that you do not understand the gospel and you’ve probably been fed part of a message and not the whole thing. @medic4christ777 if you’d like to argue against that - go for it. If you need me to justify each and every point I’ll put the scriptures right here for everyone to see Romans 10:9 is not intended to give you an entire story. It is 100% accurately but it is not the entirety of the story. Scripture is not supposed to be isolated, it needs context - which means you have to read scripture with other scripture The same man that said confess with your mouth also said pursue the spirit and not the flesh, he also said if you do not have the spirit, you are not a child of God Are you arguing with me or Paul ?
I usually don’t ask for prayers, could y’all pray for God to convict me of doing remorse? when I sin which is alot I don’t feel guilt or remorse like I actually should and I know it’s not Good
@@Diegocasto920 Hey Man, this is usually what happens when we “quench” the Holy Spirit. God gives us law to reveal right and wrong / good and evil etc But he gives us the Holy Spirit for conviction and also for power The same spirit that helps us to feel conviction, gives us power over sin Some things that may help you in no particular order 1. Read the Bible - Hebrews 4:12 says that the Bible is like a sharp sword that can cut through you and get to the core of who you are. The Bible reveals to us the truth of what’s in our heart. Sometimes we don’t realize how filthy we are, the Bible can show us but it also gives us solutions to fix the filth. If you don’t think the Bible is true…you may want to ask yourself why and then make sure you’re not believing regurgitated lies (people have tried to debunk the Bible for a long time) how come no one has succeeded yet 2. Pray and ask God for his forgiveness and mercy, ask him to help you in the areas that you’re weak and be willing to do the work. 3. Trying to feel remorse without having fundamental beliefs about the Holy Spirit usually doesn’t work out well. The Holy Spirit carries the ability to judge you into conviction but also has the power to help you to overcome sin. You’ve got to start working on not ignoring the Holy Spirit, you’ve probably silenced The Holy Spirit far too long and now you need to repent and ask the Lord for help. 4. The really positive and hopeful aspect of all of this is that you’re actually expressing conviction right now, the desire to feel conviction is conviction in itself. Conviction that you don’t feel conviction is still conviction. But you’ve gotten strengthen yourself in the word, pursue the spirit of God, pursue the kingdom of God. It’s everyday not just one and done
@@Diegocasto920 this may sound simple - but when you get the nudge, start responding to it I did a video about addiction on my channel, go watch it and I explain this a little bit. I can almost guarantee that you’ll begin to realize that nudge before doing something that you shouldn’t If you genuinely feel as if you have no small nudge to reconsider your thoughts after this, maybe this is a thing of revisiting the conversation of salvation and whether or not your faith is in Christ. If there is legitimately no conviction about wrong doing and no desire to change it’s usually a sign that someone is not reborn / saved But you seem to have a desire for change which tells me you probably have more conviction than you even realize Now it’s time to start listening to that conviction - watch that video and then let me know if it helps
@@MatthewFayson sorry if I’m bothering you with questions but how do I not ignore the Holy Spirit I’m understanding that I’ve stopped listening to him which is extremely foolish of me and I need to repent of it
@@Diegocasto920 you’re not bothering me at all haha man I wish everyone asked these questions My hope is for people to be free and to realize the power of Jesus - I saw you watched the other video…man I’m so happy for what’s going to happen in your life Reach out anytime, if you need to chat personally send me a message on IG My IG page is linked on my UA-cam profile
Hey, great question. Here’s my understanding. 1. Do you best to learn the character of God, through what he’s done (sending his son to cover you) that’s a level of love that I don’t even understand and he’s done that for you. So first he loves you way more than any person. We also learn to forgive 7x70 in Matthew 18:22 - so we know the lord has an ability to forgive to extreme depths. BUT, there is some nuance. Not because God can’t forgive but because the effects of sin If you read Hebrews 3:8-12 ….you learn that a person of faith can actually reject the Holy Spirit to pursue sin and when you make a habit of rejecting the Holy Spirit, your heart becomes harden to The Lord. Every time I pursue sin, even after feeling that conviction, I’m not just rejecting my mind but im more so, rejecting the Spirit of God. The only reason you have conviction is because God is sending it through his Spirit and through his word. If you continue to reject that “voice”, you place yourself in danger of tuning it all the way out. At that point it’s only a matter of time before you reject the Holy Spirit all together and now you fall into the only unforgivable sin - blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. If you reject the spirit that brings conviction and correction - you’ll never have conviction or correction The danger here isn’t Gods unforgiveness, it’s our departure from God, that happens often times because of the deception of sin Does that make sense ? Also, we should really have desire to go beyond “can I sin and go to heaven” The Lord has so much more in store for you, but how would we ever get to that level of glory if we don’t first submit ourselves to his will Many Christian’s only focus on salvation and that’s not the will of Jesus Salvation is just the entry point into the rest of the stuff When you experience the higher levels of glory your taste for sin really begins to diminish
If you still CARE about Jesus that means you're alright. There's no too deep and too dark place that Jesus cannot get you out of. You might think that you keep sinning too much, but Jesus Christ has got waaaayyyy more forgiveness than your sins. Repent. And try hard not to sin. We will never be sinless...
@@MatthewFayson Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is [to not believe] in Jesus Christ. To never believe, you never receive the Holy Spirit, and to be [against] is to reject that Jesus is the Christ, who is the only begotten son of God who can save all from [all things] that we cannot save ourselves from.
Believing on the Lord Jesus, will not save anyone. It is written, the demons believe and tremble. In (Acts 2:38);Peter said, believe and repent. The Holy Ghost must indwell you, and you must obey the scriptures. Even demon possessed illuminati members profess to be Christians, but they are boldfaced liars. It is written in (Rom.8:9) any man not having the Spirit of Christ doesn't belong to him. We must walk in holiness or you will be rejected by God. IT IS WRITTEN, WITHOUT HOLINESS, NO MAN SHALL SEE GOD.
Just depends on what someone means by belief True Belief in Christ, true confession of his lordship and belief that God raised him from the dead is what saved everyone But sometimes people think “saying it with your mouth” = belief Belief in christ is what causes obedience, it causes consecration, etc So belief in him is the key to salvation but it needs to be belief in his saving grace to the point of truth not just a thing you do with your lips
@@Diegocasto920 no, I want people to know the truth rather than loosely saying a prayer and running into a wall But you’re more than welcome to make your non confusing UA-cam video to help those people that I’m confusing if you want
@@Diegocasto920 this isn’t a place for our egos to clash. To be very clear - I don’t believe that someone is “doing it wrong” when they confess that Jesus is Lord, I do believe that many people say this loosely off of a somewhat emotional experience, never realizing the truth of what they are saying. I do believe that many people who say they are “Christian” have no care for the work of Christ. I’m not condemning them, I’m doing what I believe Paul did in scripture - he worked on his pride and did his best job to help others who were “believers” Personally I don’t believe in the idea of “just say it and you’re good” I believe the Holy Spirit seals you, but many who say Jesus is Lord have no relationship to the Holy Spirit…which typically displays that they weren’t truly reborn. I said Jesus was Lord while simultaneously not caring anything about Jesus, scripture, or Holiness This isn’t about me being perfect or working my way to heaven, the fruit of my life showed the truth of my heart
The will of the Father is in John 6:40. It sats, “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” It is not a “holy” lifestyle. Your lifestyle proves nothing. Catholics, Mormons, Hindus, Jews and atheists have changed lifestyles. But they are not saved because they have not believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is very simple. You believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God in the flesh, that he died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. But here you are adding your filthy rags works/lifestyle to the equation. The homosexuals and drug addicts are going to enter into the kingdom before you.
@@ReligiouslyIncorrect I think you’re misunderstanding what I’m saying Or maybe I’m Not clear and if so I’m happy to correct myself / be corrected 1. Like I mentioned there is nothing that can save a person separate from the work of Jesus Christ. And then, of course, we have to put our faith in him, confessing that he is the Lord, and that God raised him from the dead. Which has meaning behind it 2. My challenge to the Western world is genuinely a challenge of what it means to have faith and my assumption is that this is where you and I might be disagreeing. I’ll preface this by saying I’m not of the belief that any man or woman can work themselves into the perfection of Christ you can’t do enough work to get into heaven as I mentioned before that was the work of Jesus separately, I take Romans 10 nine very seriously when it says to confess that Jesus is the Lord, and my understanding of Lord means that he becomes the authority of my life, if we look into the ancient world, those following Jesus did not simply say with their mouth that Jesus is the Messiah as some loose statement, the way that we’ve learned to do it in our culture in that world it was a known that you could physically lose your life for saying that Jesus was the Lord in public. You could lose your life for blasphemy. And still the disciples and followers of Christ in that time had a true conviction of who Jesus was which led them to a confession that resonated in their heart In our modern world, many of us learned to say, Jesus was Lord, simply through a tradition simultaneously having zero relationship with him completely neglecting, avoiding quenching the Holy Spirit pursuing our will and desires relentlessly without any desire to even think of the will of God What do you think this means? This is not preaching that works saves you. It’s preaching that anyone who is save because of the work of Jesus and the Holy Spirit will be in pursuit and therefore will be productive to some degree not because their production saves them, but because their salvation causes production. I don’t want this to get confused. Every ones production is going to vary and it’s not for any man to look at another man and simply say nope you did this. Therefore you’re going to hell or you didn’t do this. You’re going to hell that is not my point , but if Jesus can look at a Pharisee and say although you called me lord you are far from me, he’s proving that lip service doesn’t work with the father Jesus came to fulfill the consequence of the law , he didn’t come to permit us to be seekers of pleasure and seekers of the flesh His grace doesn’t just save it empowers us to be within his will I’d also say we should consider what got us into this boat - the disobedience of Adam and Eve So why would Grace be a permission for disobedience - it’s not, it’s simply a sign of love for us as we fall short We may even go through a long season of backsliding - we know Christ is still married to those who truly believe In no way am I saying be faultless or go to hell I’m saying don’t get Grace mixed up and permit yourself to pursue what God hates as a abuse of grace
he's not saying it's faith plus works. The bible is clear.. there is nothing you can offer God to buy favor with him. Isaiah 64:6 " our righteousnesses are as filthy rags". Do you not know the example Jesus talks about of the 2 men that went to the temple to pray "the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner."
@@cryptfire3158 Catholics and Orthodox do not believe that we are saved by our works. We are saved by grace, through faith, working itself out through love.
@@user-bn4hr1cz1u you can say you believe it is by grace alone and by faith alone. Yet, when you ask a catholic how to get to heaven they’ll say keep the commandments. (Works). You say “how do u know if you will be in heaven?” They’ll say you can’t know until you die. But the bible says “these things are written that ye may know you have eternal life”. Just by definition it’s not eternal if you can lose it. I am certain that Catholics believe that demonstrations of sincere love and self sacrifice are always pleasing to God and maintain a relationship that makes them worthy of heaven. Included in this is the idea that you good deeds can outweigh your bad deeds.
@@user-bn4hr1cz1u The KJV makes it very clear that we are not to worship idols, and declare other Gods with our faith. Mother Mary is not someone anyone should worship, or pray to. Nor to Idolize the Pope. As a matter of fact, the Pope Francis publicly declared Jesus failed on the Cross. This can even be found recorded on UA-cam. Catholics, as with Mormons and others have a great deal to worry about their Salvation. Because they do not solely believe on the only begotten son of God, Jesus Christ & his blood [aka work]. Matthew 7:21-23 KJV Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth [the will] of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity. > Jesus is talking about the Jews in this passage, because he knew they would not [repent] of their current faith for him, and believe he was the messiah that was to come to save them. This passage does not apply in anyway to Christians, because we believe solely in Jesus Christ. Mormons, and Catholics, Jehovah witnesses, Seven Day Adventists, including Jews, Islamic, Hindu, Agnostics, Atheists, etc. should very much worry about this verse because they don't have their faith placed in him & his blood. The bible answer: John 6:38-40 KJV For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the [will of him] that sent me. And this is the [Father's will] which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And [this is the will of him that sent me,] that every one which seeth the Son, and [believeth on him,] may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. [To believe only in Jesus Christ, is to do the [will] of the Father. Do that, and you will never hear those words uttered from Jesus himself after death at your judgement.]
One clarification.
I don’t want anyone to be confused here
Ending all of your sin DOES NOT SAVE YOU. We go through a process
But when you are saved you’ll noticed a desire to put an end to sin. If you desire to continue after the flesh and want to pursue the flesh rather than the spirit, it is evidence that you have not been reborn.
But there’s hope - you still have opportunity to seek the Lord and be reborn
@@MatthewFayson ♥️

@@pawes6331 we have desire to sin in our flesh. Rmemeber we have flesh which wants to sin.
Using an analogy made by Paul Washer: if I say to you that I was hit by a speeding semi truck while walking across the street, but I looked and walked the same way afterwards, you would wonder if I am telling the truth. No one can be hit by a speeding truck and there not be evidence if it. This is the same with Christ: you cannot have a true encounter with Him and there not be any evidence of that. If your relationship with Christ does not produce changed behavior, you better question your salvation.

@@MatthewFayson Thank you for allowing God to use you for this message. I will definitely be forwarding it to others.
Paul Washer denied the gospel 300 times.
So from what I understand, if you confess with your mouth "Jesus is Lord" and believe he rose from the dead, yet still have the desire to sin and do evil, then that person is not saved by faith. Paul addresses this issue, that if you think you can sin all you want and just ask forgiveness at the end of the night, you have a profound misunderstanding of God's grace.
However, there is a difference between "desire" and "temptation" that I hope doesn't confuse people into thinking they're damned to Hell if they mess up. For example, if you fall into the temptation of lust or drunkeness; commit these sins, but feel convicted afterwards. That doesn't mean you were "never saved in the first place" you just had a moment of weakness that wasn't planned and now feel guilty and are in need of forgiveness despite having already been saved. If you weren't actually born again and still had desires of the flesh, then you wouldn't feel conviction of sin now would you? In fact, I'd imagine the person would be indifferent towards disobedience and shrug it off.
@@QuietRiot3991 I like how you wrote this

Oh lord…
A lot of people will not accept this message because they want to continue living in their sin and don’t understand that Jesus defeated sin and bondages now. They take one verse and ignore everything else God tells you to do.
No, people will not accept this because it goes against what Jesus said was the requirement for "salvation." Sanctification & Salvation are 2 completely different camps. One is works to produce fruit, that brings more people to Christ. The other is the way to be saved to enter Heaven with God for eternity.
To stop sinning is impossible, as long as you are the person who resides in your flesh who wrote a comment on UA-cam. You can practice eliminating sin out of your life. That's good, especially if you tell people you are a Christian. But do not make that your basis to be saved, or to tell others it is the way to Heaven. Because the way to heaven is only through believing in Jesus Christ.

My brother you are 100% on spot. I've been waiting a long time for someone to finally begin to explain this. I cannot understand why the majority of ministers are not explaining this. Scripturally sound and right on the money! Thank you thank you thank you
Although we are ultimately saved by grace 1tim 4:16 says that we are to strive to ensure our salvation. Philippians 2:12
A few months back God walked me through Romans 6 ~10 just as he did with you -- and showed me exactly what he showed you. I'll just say this -- obedience is vitally important to God in every way possible.
Only if you wish to profit a Crown at your judgement. Not all who believe will do this, for no one is perfect as the Christ. The basis for "Sanctification" is to not appear as a hypocrite as many do today, but to help spread the gospel, and to show what Jesus taught. For one to walk in the new man is a good thing, but is not based on ones "Salvation." If one sins, god will punish them in their flesh by any means he see's necessary. But does not subtract from them of their right to go to heaven. For God loves all his creation too much to desire them to damnation with Lucifer. All it takes is to believe on the son, Jesus Christ as our savior. Through and through.

My general rule - learn the voice of God, Stick your face in scripture to make sure you’re not receiving a message from Satan. One major issue with repeated sin is that it opens doors for being influenced by different forms of darkness, demons, powers etc (we learn about those influences in Ephesians 6:12)
Be encouraged, if the lord is giving you a warning that is clear evidence that it’s for correction not for you to be eternally damned. The word says correction and rebuke are a sign of love from the father - so if you’re feeling corrected you don’t need to feel worry and fear at the same time
Praise him / thank him for already showing you that he had room to forgive you or else why would he even correct you
So yes my man, pray and seek his face. Denounce any thing that you’ve been doing as you repent.

no one can even end all their sin since the sin nature always exists while we are in this current body.
the lust of the flesh, eyes, and pride of life are of the world, but we are currently in that world and do these things.
the flesh is not something pursued, but perpetually experienced.
one of the ways the gospel is defined in the bible is : Christ in you, the hope of glory. the reason we have to hope is because we do not yet have that glory in its fullness.
if you believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, it begs the question as to where he went/ where he came from. the gospel is the hope to be in that place with him.
no one needs a license to sin, since our nature itself is the power to sin.
those who are saved are those who are known by God, the elect. all people, by nature of the imputed curse, do not know or want God. the only way out of that is supernatural intervention.
I like how you address this issue about people being led astray from what their teachers told them. People need to understand that most teachers don't have the answers. Alura Cein and myself are trying to wake people up to the truth. What you put into your mind goes with you and what is in your heart shows Heavenly Father who you are as a person. People are being tested and the criminals change with the times without questioning.
Heavenly Father has sent messengers to guide people. Alura has taught me well. Verily, people have been lied to or misled for a long time because they don't know how to interpret the real meanings behind the scriptures.
Jesus came to be the eternal sacrificial lamb for man with his sinless blood on the Cross at Calvary. Because we could NOT overcome the LAW which was given to Moses and passed onto the Jews. To sin after believing in the gospel of Jesus Christ does NOT allow one to LOSE their salvation. What it means in Romans 10 is to walk in "SANCTIFICATION" as a Christian before others who witness you, when you yourself claim to be a Christian before them.
To sin [profits] a person NOTHING for Sin is tried by heavenly fire as wood, hay, & stubble. To not Sin again, is 1 Billion % impossible as long as you are made of flesh and bone on this earth. Yes, you can practice not to sin. But do NOT make it your [foundation] of belief [for] "salvation." That does not help on this video for starts, and 6,500 people witnessed this lie.
What matters is that people believe on the only begotten son of God, Jesus Christ to be saved. Which is not of themselves & anything that they do, but [the will] of the father who sent who? Jesus Christ, [God himself.] If you don't do this, you are sinful in the eyes of the father, and another reprobate of Lucifer's kind. In turn, breaking God's heart in having to condemn you apart from himself for all eternity. Because a unrepentant mind cannot change if it doesn't choose to do so. Which is why we still have free-will to [choose] to [accept Jesus] as our Lord, or [not.] The moment one does, no one can pluck them from the fathers hand. Because God records everything you do, every second of your life. He [knows] if you [believed or not.] Please stop confusing the masses with this video.
Also, please stop reading modern translations. They are counterfeits, and full of lies, and modifications. Which God warned us NOT to do. Don't believe me? Find me the name "Lucifer" in your bible. See if it exists in Isaiah 14:12. Because you won't find it. Why would God omit from us the very being who's name ruined it for all? He wouldn't, only Lucifer would.
Luke 18:27 KJV "And he said, The things which are [impossible with men] are possible with God." - You won't become sinless until you are washed new by Jesus on the other side of the veil.

Scripture to be saved
John 6:38-40 KJV "For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the [will of him] that sent me. And this is the [Father's will] which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And [this is the will of him that sent me,] that every one which seeth the Son, and [believeth on him,] may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."
John 8:24 KJV "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." - Jesus Christ.
John 10: 25-30 KJV "Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one."
John 11:23-27 KJV "Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world."
John 14:6 KJV "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

Acts 13: 38-39 KJV "Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that [believe] are justified from [all things], from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses."
Acts 16: 30-31 KJV "And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
John 3:16-18 KJV "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
Ephesians 1:12-13 "That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise"
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast."
("any man" is the "unbeliever" who never believed in Jesus. Because unbeliever's don't know they are not to count on their works as the way into heaven. For Jesus Christ requires faith in [his/Jesus's] work, for he is the Gate to heaven, on that narrow path that leads strait to the gate that is Christ Jesus.)
Titus 3: 3-7 KJV "For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life."

The 10 Commandments
1. You shall have no other gods before Me. (Judah, Islam, Hindu, Jehovah witness, 7th day Adventists, Catholics, Mormons, Buddhists, agnostics, atheists,)
2. You shall make no idols. (objects, people, ideology)
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. (Jesus Christ, Holy S^#^, God D@*% It)
4. Keep the Sabbath day holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder. (Hate someone verbally, by thought, or physically end their life)
7. You shall not commit adultery. (look at someone for sexual desire, lust, sex before marriage, or an affair in marriage.)
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (tell a lie)
10. You shall not covet. (to desire something, wish for, unlawfully want in an inappropriate manner)
[Breaking just 1 of these condemns us to Hell for eternity after death, no matter how minor, or grand the offense. On average we all have broken these at least 100,000 times in our lifetime. If not, more.. Believing in Jesus Christ who made this Law of Moses obsolete by his sacrifice on the cross. Is who can save us from Hell. Because no matter what good we do on this earth.
We cannot stand before God at the white throne of judgement, perfect as Jesus. Who never sinned. Therefore, if you wish to enter Heaven, Jesus is the door to Heaven, and only a person who believes in him will be forgiven, washed new, and will enter new life for eternity, and will never ever die again, nor feel pain, sadness, etc.]

The Most Misunderstood Verse in the Bible
Matthew 7:21-23 KJV
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth [the will] of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
John 6:38-40 KJV
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the [will of him] that sent me.
And this is the [Father's will] which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And [this is the will of him that sent me,] that every one which seeth the Son, and [believeth on him,] may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
[To believe only in Jesus Christ, is to do the [will] of the Father. Do that, and you will never hear those words uttered from Jesus himself after death.]
@@JesusIsRealJ1247 hey thanks for adding to the conversation
I think my aim here is misunderstood which could have been my fault
I am not of the belief that someone achieves heaven by their works / not even slightly of that belief
I’m of the belief that truly coming into the gift of salvation produces a work in you that changed you
The idea of just loosely saying I believe Roman’s 10:9, falls short of too many other scriptures about what salvation actually does to a person
I said I believe in jesus as lord when I was a kid / mostly due to the tradition of my family
I didn’t believe in Jesus in my heart, but I did say “Jesus is lord” no different than someone like Judas would have probably said - while I separately lived my life however I wanted to live because jesus wasn’t actually lord to me - it was just a club that I joined
Personally, some may disagree, I don’t think that man that I was - was a saved man. I think he was in unrepentant liar who knew the right words to say
Coming to Christ truly, it made me want to pursue The will of The lord, this isn’t what saved me but it surely showed the condition of my heart - it had been changed truly, the process of being sanctified was indeed a process
But the desire toward Christ was drastically different, even though it im not a perfect man I’m willing to be honest that my previous condition only confessed Christ because I do isn’t like the idea of hell - not because I really believed in Christ as lord
When the Holy Spirit comes upon someone it changes the persons heart toward sin, it brings conviction and a desire to repent
I don’t personally believe a person has truly come to the faith if their is no conviction with sin or desire to pursue the will of the Lord
There are MANY scriptures telling us about how we are to finish the race to enter the kingdom, there are many “work” related scriptures that prove a persons heart
It doesn’t mean work saves you
But work is relative to a change of heart
@@MatthewFayson I want to try to help simplify this breakdown for you in my replied remarks. Because you seem to be doing mental gymnastics with scripture. To a point verbally in your video that begins confusing the understanding of the gospel itself. Which I don't believe you intended.
> "The idea of just loosely saying I believe Roman’s 10:9, falls short of too many other scriptures about what salvation actually does to a person"
Salvation does [nothing] to a person in this realm where flesh & blood resides. What it does do, is give birth on the [other side] of the veil the holy spirit on their life's account [be born again]. For having solely decided to believe in Jesus Christ, and his finished work. That's it! Pretty awesome right?
Don't worry about how deeply you believed. It really comes down to a decision through a "Choice". Not a "Feeling". When you understand the backstory of Lucifer, and his fall, and let alone his mind, which is all he is. You can understand what God says through Christ Jesus, when he makes declarations for things regarding salvation. Take this verse for example > Romans 10:9 KJV "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."
You know how you and I have free-will? Lucifer would not confess God as is Holy, and "decided" to turn away from him through his own pride. Aka, rejected God, his creator.
The very idea that one has the audacity to believe Jesus is God, and trust in him as their Lord and Savior. Is to do exactly the opposite of what Lucifer does. Which is what God aka "Jesus" needs from us first and last. After all, if you "desire" Jesus, you can be assured, you believed in your heart. The rest, he will take care of, after all, he is God. Am I Right?
> "I don’t think that man that I was - was a saved man. I think he was in unrepentant liar who knew the right words to say "
If you truly were of the devil's kind, you wouldn't have said those words. The part of your heart that yearns to be honest, and hopes you did it correct. Is the holy spirit within you, fighting to break free from the demons who have been following you for your whole life, tempting you into every sin you made. Same goes for all of us. At the end of it all, God will review our lives through every minute detail we've forgotten. His power is beyond our comprehension. For his desire is to save, not to condemn. The condemnation of man-like punishment is just a lie Lucifer uses to confuse us, for he is the author of confusion. God is love, and brings clarity, and understanding, and most importantly. Forgiveness!
> "There are MANY scriptures telling us about how we are to finish the race to enter the kingdom, there are many “work” related scriptures that prove a persons heart"
There are many false doctrines, and counterfeit bibles distorting the truth of God's word, and promises with lies, and omitting names, and verses. Except one, the KJV. I always try to remind people of the English Tongue. God purposely made 1 bible necessary for the English language to stand the test of time. The KJV is concise, to the point, and perfect like a sword with the word. It never subtracted, nor added anything from the Geneva, it only corrected it in typo's. Whereas any bible that came out after the KJV, did otherwise. F
From the ASV all the way to the CSB of today. I own a few, and the KJV makes Jesus's declaration's simple, and understandable without any beating around the bush, or alternative descriptions. It definitely doesn't say anything is "difficult" or "hard" as the modern bibles do. Talking about the paths that are both strait, but one is wide and one is narrow. For one leads to Heaven and one to Hell..
I would just err on the side of caution when putting out video content that talks too deeply from a "personal" understanding about salvation to people. If one has not fully understood through study, and took their knowledge from hearsay of someone else, be it family, church, etc. They should always check the word for the facts. Unless you are a video creator who teaches how to read the word with the viewer. Because a lot of people don't know, and what we should be saying is short and sweet.
"Believe in your heart Jesus Christ as your sole Lord and Savior, and his blood for his finished work for the redemption of your sins, you will go to heaven."
Anything more that gets into theology is going to just confuse the listener, and the moment you create a "chore" list of verbal requirements, then people don't want to hear more. Or those like myself, will come in to correct the message & quote the bible where necessary outside of a discussion. Because let's be real, a lot of people do believe in Jesus, but never read more than a few pages or a chapter from the Bible. They are saved, but they don't exactly profit much from their lack of study. Especially if it comes to sharing the gospel. Which many are doing the latter very poorly by condemning people they are sinners, and they are better. When we're all the same. Just one believed, and the other hasn't. Yet, we all sin, and will until the day we die.
I know my correcting remarks sparked anger which in turn became hatred in the eyes of the reader in this UA-cam comments section. That's a sin. But I'm no better than that person who did. I just don't claim I never sin.
I sincerely pray this helps ease your worries. It took me a while to walk away from a Calvinist doctrine. But the more I read, and do so everyday. The better I understand, God made it stupid simple for all of us. We just have to trust in him, and by trust. Have faith, he will be there for us at our last breath.
That straight Holy Ghost 🔥🔥🔥 TESTIFY!
“To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life.”
Romans 2:7 NIV
You have to understand what is “doing good” because only God is good. What does God do? God loves. God forgives. God shows mercy. God is long suffering. God keeps no record of wrongs. This is why eternal life is a free gift. Because God is good & does not make us earn eternal life. In the same way we do unto others & in so doing our faith is completed or perfected. By loving you, forgiving you, showing mercy to you, not holding your sins against you I am proving that I actually know God & Jesus Christ (which is eternal life). This is having faith in Christ because in Christ we have received forgiveness of sins, mercy, love, compassion. If it is true for me, it is true for you. Instead of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you, now you do unto others as Christ has done unto you or do unto others as you would have God do unto you.
It’s not that me forgiving you & showing you mercy & loving you saves me, but it proves (is a witness) that I believe God has forgiven me, been merciful to me & loves me. I am not being a hypocrite, which is the leaven of the Pharisees which Jesus says to beware of. Lest there be in your an evil heart of unbelief. See, by not loving you, not forgiving you, not being merciful to you I am proving I have an evil heart of unbelief. I don’t actually believe God loves, God forgives, God is merciful. He who is forgiven much loves much. If you don’t love others you don’t believe you’re forgiven. This is why the love of God was not in the Pharisees because they rejected forgiveness & boasted in their own righteousness as if they never sinned & did not need God’s mercy or forgiveness.
So many of Jesus’s parables & commands drive this point home. But like I said, we love because He FIRST loved us. Now that we have received His love we can love one another. The more you understand grace & the more you live by grace the more you will walk in love. If salvation were not a free gift we would never walk in love because we wouldn’t know what love is. God making it a free gift is what teaches us true love. Grace teaches us. By grace are you saved through faith, it is the gift of God. Faith in what? Faith in the unfailing love of God. Faith in the blood of Jesus for the forgiveness of sins. He loved not His life unto death. He laid down His life as a ransom for many. As we behold Him we are being transformed into His same image, from glory to glory.
The man on the cross next to Jesus. Answers this question.
AHHHHHHHHHH, I’m 14 and MAN it feels like a WARZONE OUT HERE, I just got this channel saying all we need to do to get saved is to believe in Jesus’s resurrection, then I’m getting this channel that’s saying we must do everything that Jesus says we must do, then there’s Some people that look extremely tired and haven’t taken a bath in years yelling at me on UA-cam shorts to follow God and anything that isn’t about him is against him WHICH DOESNT MAKE ANY SINCE, spending time with family isn’t talking About God, does that mean it’s wrong? Is entertainment and movies a sin if it’s not about God? Are hobbies a sin if there not about God? all of this on top of starting high school YEESH, may God bless forgive, help, protect, guide, and enlighten all of us
@@natedaboi1608 hey my man, I hope I can simplify this a bit
1. We are saved by Jesus Christ - We cannot do any work that will save us. Once you sin - you can longer do anything to perfect yourself. Jesus is the only one who is perfect
So my reliance for salvation is COMPLETELY trusting that Jesus has the authority to stand on my place and overcome sin for me.
2. Once we understand that Jesus is perfect, has no blemish, and was the sacrifice paying for our sin, once we acknowledge him as lord and believe in Gods power to raise Jesus from the dead, we receive the Holy spirit
The Holy Spirit is what helps us to stay away from sin
So I don’t want you to think that you need to do a bunch of stuff to get saved. This video is more focused on what we should considering when we submit to Jesus.
Saying Jesus is lord and then living however I want to live isn’t the way
Also you’re welcome to reach out to me on Instagram man - I’m happy to help you however I can
My IG profile is displayed on my UA-cam channel
I get what you’re going through. There’s a lot of false teachers out here. The good news is that if you have believed that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day, the you’re saved, no
matter what you do or don’t do. You’re saved simply by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ. See John 3:16-18, John 6:40 and 47, Acts 16:29-31, and 1 John 5:13.
You need to be careful with how you’re saying this. Salvation isn’t works based or behavioral based. It’s a trust, a firm belief in what Christ did for us.
Yes, as Christians, we should be fruitful and avoid sin, striving for a godly lifestyle. However, people become lukewarm, or are led astray. That doesn’t take away their salvation. New Christians May struggle with old sinful habits and struggle to overcome them. That’s why the mercy of Jesus is what we must turn to. Ask for God to change our hearts and help us to resist sin.
Amen!
You've said it right Brother!
God bless you and your ministry!!❤
Thank you. The Lord has me reading Romans for clarity on this. Appreciate you breaking down what God is showing you.
I have mentioned this to a few others. Consider the video with these thoughts in mind and I think it clears uo what I was trying to express.
1. We are Saved by the Grace of God through our Faith. There is no amount of work that saves us. Whether that work is fulfilling commandments, being charitable, being a good person, etc NO WORK SAVES YOU
2. But when you Confess/Agree that Jesus is Lord, you are stating that you are willing to submit to his authority over you. Rather than being your own God or submitting to any other God, you bend your knee to Jesus. Which does produce work/actions that reflect Jesus. That doesn't mean that I act perfect. It means my pursuit is his Spirit and not to carelessly live according to my own flesh
3. When you Believe that God raises Jesus from the dead. You should also know why he did it. Jesus is killed to pay the cost of sin, When he's raised back up, God is displaying His Divinity, His Power, His Authority, & Truth. To believe that God raised him from the Grave is to believe that Jesus was prophetically true about who he was and also that The Father in Heaven has the ultimate power over all things, even that which defies nature. He's Supernatural. Which is important to believe because we cannot naturally cleanse ourselves with works, we need a supernatural cleanser & a supernatural encounter to cleanse us or we would need to die (do to our sin) - I think we agree on that part....but
4. When we come into realization of this, we also inherit the Holy Spirit, which gives us authority over sin the same way Jesus had authority over sin. It also gives us conviction to care for the things that Jesus cares for. Which is completely unnatural to someone who is not born again. My ability to refrain from sin, is not due to my discipline or will power. My ability to refrain from sin has nothing to do with my "works" but everything to do with the work of the Holy Spirit working in me that produces a work/evidence
5. When I say our work is evidence of salvation, I'm really trying to say that the Holy Spirit working within me, Provokes Goodness, and it provokes an objection to sin (pursuit of righteousness). It isn't that I'm working my way to salvation, it's that salvation is actually working on me and in me and it shows up in my actions.
6. A person who is not changing or at least convicted of change / desiring change etc they aren't reborn. They are still in the nature of the flesh - even if they said Jesus is Lord. Specifically because they honor him with their lips but their heart is far from him
John 6:28-29 - “The ONLY work God wants of you is to believe on the son.” Right?
Please pray for me. I'm scared because I have a hard heart with no conviction of sin.
Repent and turn from sin you will start to begin to feel a bit of conviction when you sin now you will have hard temptations and thoughts of going back but remember that temporary pleasure isn’t as good as eternal pleasure.
Dear Lord thank you so much for Wendy thank you that she sees where she is at with you right now. I pray you take her heart of stone and make it a heart of flesh. Break her heart when she sins or sees sin around her. Lord do not let the enemy condemn her but you convict her and help her turn her life and heart over to you. Thank you for your forgiveness when we do fall short. Please Holy Spirit be upon Wendy knock on the door of her heart Jesus and give her faith to trust in you completely. We love you Jesus. Amen
@@Rachel-vx8se Thank you
@@wendyfree5902 hey Wendy, I’ve got good news for you. If you believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, who died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day, the Bible declares that you are saved and have eternal life. Your feelings towards sin prove nothing. You can be assured of your salvation. See John 6:47 and 1 John 5:13 for assurance. You need not be afraid.
Fantastic word. Thank you
A like a seed. All of us have the seed to grow into somwthing beautiful to reach others, however how many of us drink from the water of life and grow is two seperate things. Being saved is the miracle that produces the will to seek sanctification. If you never drink from the water of life as a seed, you simply never grow then eventually become trampled by the weeds around you.
Thanks for the message brother❤.

"For with the heart man believes unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" It's right there in the verse. But I get what you are saying and I am applying it.
I like to be clear on what i posted yesterday when we believe on Jesus by faith for what he did for us on the cross we have eternal life and are sealed with holy spirit to the day of redemption our salvation is not by works and we can not lose it i never said this is a license to sin by no means We should live holy lives.
I agree. But it also takes time to change and that will happen on GOD'S time if you surrender. God will always erase the sin if you truly have repentance and keep him in the center of ya life. We all fall short of glory
Eat drink and sleep his words and sin drowns in his power
Hey I totally agree that we go through processes, I’m going through them right now - trying to be more gentle with my family, more patient with my family etc
So I do want to encourage you - this message isn’t about being perfect before you’re saved, it’s about submitting your life truly to Jesus as Lord and allowing that TRUE confession to shift you into the person that The Lord has called you to be
@awefaweffea4111 facts. But again we're still in the Flesh. It will be a battle till the end but his spirit will be with us.
@@MatthewFayson I received this breakdown thank you brother💜🙏🏽

Amen dude. Been on my heart the last month to get the word out there about this as well. It’s an absolute epidemic. I run into so many more people like this than full blown atheists… it’s sad
An interesting video,The apostle Paul does tell us to examine ourselves whether we are in the faith. However, one correction that I will make is that in the new testament, the word repent in the Greek actually means a change of mind.
Hey Bro, Thanks for adding to the conversation and also thank you for that correction! Iron sharpens iron!
well done!! love this video. thank you for putting people straight
Hey my friend - i mentioned this in previous comment. My goal is that we understand the fullness of the Good news
We are saved by grace through faith alone
And yet, the grace given Carry’s power to operate in Godly Love / refrain from a life that pursues the flesh and sin. Our works are important, they don’t save us, but they are a response to truly being saved.
The fruit we produce is evidence to the roots in our heart
Amen these past days especially i have watched videos about hell and heaven and for years i have been struggling with lust and i have the past days anxiety because of hell and that im not baptized and i want to be i will do it and i also have not fallen into lust these today i have not watched porn and mastrubated and want to do rightous i prayed 3 to 4 times a day today and yesterday also and just 1 Hour ago i had like panic and anxiety and got into my room and prayed for 3 minutes and my anxiety went away i now have little but when i have them i will pray to god since that is what were supossed to do go to god and ask for help and guidance god is great amen
I wrestle and wish to cull the sin from me. Lord I pray your hand intervenes, for all my sins are in my head, I no longer act upon then but I still feel broke from the intrusive thoughts I know to be lie. Rid them from me I pray. May you be armor, sword, shield and mirror my God my Messiah my Spirit. Faithfully I walk, but guilty I live
When we are weak then He is strong. I think I finally understand what this means. To let go of all things & allow God to fill me with Himself. Then will He fight my battles as I make myself weak, not having a righteousness of mine own, but that which is of God, because I trust in Him.
Many will say Lord Lord and I will say depart from me for I do not know you.
That was said for the Jewish people, and for today, those who do not believe on the only begotten son of God, Jesus Christ.
@@JesusIsRealJ1247 What is the purpose of your response? Are you just chiming in? Are you suggesting there is something I do not know? Are you alluding that you have a greater understanding of scripture that no other person has? Are you attempting to convey wit and wisdom to the masses? What is the point of your response?
@@priznuruvchrist4549 From my experience, anyone who alludes to writing such verses as Matthew 7. Often believes in a "Turn from your sins" gospel, which is false. For we are to Fear Not our Lord and Savior. We are to turn to him, and have assurance of the promise that our Salvation is a gift free for the taking, if we do the will of him that sent Christ.

And [this is the will of him that sent me,] that every one which seeth the Son, and [believeth on him,] may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
[To believe only in Jesus Christ, is to do the [will] of the Father. Do that, and you will never hear those words uttered from Jesus himself after death.]
You are not saved by good works people stop treating this as a code to solve clear as day no one deserves heaven it is a gift by God if you believe that he died and raised now humans cannot be free from sin because of the world its not perfect but we must live from away from as much as away from sin as possible people its also good to have a relationship with him as well talk to him count on him thats it easy
Im going through this now. My soul is trembling after years i believed once saved always saved.
If you believe you can lose your salvation, you automatically believe it depends on you and your righteousness and you are not believing in Jesus's sacrifice. If you know Jesus is the Christ you are saved.
what are your thought on Matthew 19:16-22?
Great word! Sending to many so-called Christian friends
Thank u I'm going to ask myself from now on what would jesus think of my actions right now would he rebuke me or would he say your getting the hang of it keep going
Amen brother! Straight facts!
WELL SAID DEAR BROTHER
Whoever has the Holy Spirit in them belongs to Jesus. God is working on that person. It’s that simple.
Before I watch this video I wanna thank God for letting me find your channel.. I say this shamefully that I always called myself a Christian but was never praying,reading the Bible, fasting, sowing into ministries. Js anything God told you to do. I never did that and when I did sin I never had the feeling that would overwhelm me into repentance. It would be the lies from Satan who I vulnerable believed in bc I don’t know the voice of God and the enemy. It so easy to sin against God.
To whom much is given much is required". To the thief on the cross he surrendered everything that was required of him and he received Christ.. To the person that's been in the church for 30-40 years and believe that they are secure in Him yet they live according to the flesh/are flippant about sin and have not made Jesus truly Lord only with lip service not good! If you watch part of my testimony I had a near-death experience and sat before God's judgment! Romans 8 38-39
@@Elwhiting1212 yea I’m right there with you.
In the moment of death - what more can a person give but someone who is alive and well, there is a great benefit to still be alive and also a great amount of responsibility
Not that this responsibility saves you but it does indicate what you are given to as a master
Eureka!!! Finally some sensible sense
@@klbosch50 had to Google search that word haha 😂
@@MatthewFayson almost like praise the Lord!!!
Thanks brother. Amen.
Great video brother God bless you ❤️
God bless you too!!
Thanks for watching
I don’t know if you”re right. But I feel like you”re intentions are in the right place. As a Christian i get so confused, because Ive heard both sides of this and honestly don’t know what makes more sense. Because none of us can be sinless.
it’s impossible so I’ve heard the most important thing is to believe. But I also think there’s something to be said for doing things or obeying to show you”re belief but at the same time how far does that go?
It’s easy for me to get confused because how do we measure when we’ve done enough to secure our salvation or know we are saved? And then I’ve heard there isn’t enough we could do , it’s not possible because we are sinners no matter what. I think what I feel but I could be wrong is to try your best and God will judge your heart based on your effort but I think believing what Jesus did probably is the most important thing and keeping that in your mind when faced with choices here. I think your spot
On though when you say if you try to follow Christ you will try even harder not to sin. And that’s because I think you’re more intuned with the Holy Spirit.
@@brenb7153 hey my friend
Just for clarity. There is no amount of work that any one can do to save themselves. We’ve already fallen short, we can’t undo it with our work.
My intention with the video, is not to say you must do “work” to get yourself saved, Jesus saves us and that’s that.
But the idea that you can just SAY “Jesus died for my sins, and I believe in him” is problematic…not because the statement is untrue, but because many people say that through an emotional experience once in their life and then have no association with Jesus or the Holy Spirit
I’ve been told by people, I know I’m going to heaven, I wear a cross on my necklace everyday …people have been extremely mislead with the idea of being “Christian”
@@MatthewFayson okay yeah that makes sense. I think I understand what you are saying. And I agree with that. You have to have you”re heart in it. Not just say you believe but then not care anymore than that. I think people have been misled but I will admit I think it gets confusing at times for a lot of us. Because you have those really judgmental Christian’s that tell you if you don’t do this or that you”re not a Christian or you”re not going to heaven” and then you have other Christian’s who tell you you”re works don’t get you there, I think I understand it, but I think it’s hard to understand at times, it’s weird because a part of me gets it and then sometimes I feel like another part of me gets lost in it a little. But thank you for responding (:
@@MatthewFaysonwhat’s interesting about that scenario is some of those people might actually be better off. I know a lot of Christians first believed the gospel then got super involved in church & became religious hypocrites, boasting in themselves & condemning everyone else. If those people truly believe their sins are forgiven as a free gift from God, they will treat others with the same love & live life accordingly. They will have the witness in themselves. It’s not so much about what is happening on the outside (what most Christians tend to look at) but what is in their heart. They might actually be depending on Jesus more than most Christians & showing more kindness & mercy to others because they have no works to boast in.
6:40 and what is the will of The Father?
John 6:40
And this is the will of Him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on Him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
@@energetically1 lol good point
I guess we need to figure out what constitutes as belief
@@MatthewFayson
It's the believing "on Him" part that is even more important.
Not believing in the works we do to be saved.
You can't do both.
There is no faith in Lord Jesus Christ if we need to add our own works to His free gift for it to be effective.
Lord Jesus Christ is enough.
I am saved by my faith in Lord Jesus Christ alone for my salvation.
The Holy Spirit now dwells within me.
The Holy Spirit convicts me of my sin.
I am gradually changing because I am saved. I am not changing to be saved.
Saved through faith alone first.
Works come later but are not required for salvation.
Such is the Glory and Grace of God
@@energetically1
Here’s a comment that I left on previous responses to the video
Hopefully it clears up anything that I said in the video
I have mentioned this to a few others. Consider the video with these thoughts in mind and I think it clears uo what I was trying to express.
1. We are Saved by the Grace of God through our Faith. There is no amount of work that saves us. Whether that work is fulfilling commandments, being charitable, being a good person, etc NO WORK SAVES YOU
2. But when you Confess/Agree that Jesus is Lord, you are stating that you are willing to submit to his authority over you. Rather than being your own God or submitting to any other God, you bend your knee to Jesus. Which does produce work/actions that reflect Jesus. That doesn't mean that I act perfect. It means my pursuit is his Spirit and not to carelessly live according to my own flesh
3. When you Believe that God raises Jesus from the dead. You should also know why he did it. Jesus is killed to pay the cost of sin, When he's raised back up, God is displaying His Divinity, His Power, His Authority, & Truth. To believe that God raised him from the Grave is to believe that Jesus was prophetically true about who he was and also that The Father in Heaven has the ultimate power over all things, even that which defies nature. He's Supernatural. Which is important to believe because we cannot naturally cleanse ourselves with works, we need a supernatural cleanser & a supernatural encounter to cleanse us or we would need to die (do to our sin) - I think we agree on that part....but
4. When we come into realization of this, we also inherit the Holy Spirit, which gives us authority over sin the same way Jesus had authority over sin. It also gives us conviction to care for the things that Jesus cares for. Which is completely unnatural to someone who is not born again. My ability to refrain from sin, is not due to my discipline or will power. My ability to refrain from sin has nothing to do with my "works" but everything to do with the work of the Holy Spirit working in me that produces a work/evidence
5. When I say our work is evidence of salvation, I'm really trying to say that the Holy Spirit working within me, Provokes Goodness, and it provokes an objection to sin (pursuit of righteousness). It isn't that I'm working my way to salvation, it's that salvation is actually working on me and in me and it shows up in my actions.
6. A person who is not changing or at least convicted of change / desiring change etc they aren't reborn. They are still in the nature of the flesh - even if they said Jesus is Lord. Specifically because they honor him with their lips but their heart is far from him
Father gave me a waking vision of in the clouds, HE let me see how FEW of you have a relationship with Jesus. In the clouds it looked big enough for hundreds maybe thousands. That means MANY are "Christian" by name ONLY.
@@jeremiahkirby6552 hey Jeremiah if that’s your vision, it’s probably a unique calling for you to share the gospel in love and truth
We need to carry light !
@@MatthewFayson Hi Matthew! I went into an auto parts store then I had to to again. I had the same cashier. She asked "Why are you always happy" and I said "Why do you think that" and she said "Because you have Jesus" and I said "That's right". They ALL know. Can't make someone have a relationship with Jesus. PRIDE will land MANY in the lake of fire. Comes down to this ALL had numerous chances. Jesus paid such a hefty price for our sins and so MANY are missing it. MANY have already traded an eternity of bliss for momentary pleasures. All about choice.
Your preaching what i always say also. Hardly expected to find another person who thinks as strongly about this as i do.
BUT.. i think you face the same challenge as i do. People don't want to view it this way.. and because there is so much resistance..we need to be double careful what we say.
After timestamp 8:00 i feel you'd be a lot more convincing if you said something like "i can tell you for certain that i was not saved" because this is the part that many will think your just giving opinion.. rather than fact. Of course.. i don't want to put words in your mouth.. ESPECIALLY i don't want you to say your certain about something you don't feel certain about.
Hey, thanks for the thoughts
My goal here isn’t to be all knowing. I do believe what I said to be true but I’m also very open to The Lord convicting me and changing my mind.
According to my understanding - I wasn’t saved, I confessed Jesus but lived however I wanted to. I wasn’t truly repenting I just didn’t like the idea of doing the wrong thing but further than that I didn’t care that much
basically, if you call Jesus Lord, but then dont treat him as such your lying.
like when you tell a toddler let go of the candy and go eat your dinner, and the toddler says okay, ive let go of the candy while they are still sucking on the candy.
sin ultimately isnt sweet like candy, but thats what it like. i know its hard for some people to stop sins they are addicted to, thats why we should pray that God would take it out of our hand whether its painful or not.
Yes. Good Word! If Jesus is my Lord, then I should submit. I have 3 enemies in the world. 1 - My flesh (pride, selfishness), 2 - the world (Hollywood, the media, people and places I CHOOSE to allow in my life) and 3 - Satan (the spiritual enemy of God and His creation [me]).
Its about relationship seek him he will find you
The thing with Romans 10:9 as well as the whole book of Romans, it was written for saints. People that have already been saved.
We’re saved by believing the Gospel. Period. If you believe that Jesus paid for all of your sins by shedding his blood and dying on the cross and rose from the dead, YOU ARE SAVED. A changed lifestyle isn’t what saves you or even proves you’re saved. Following Jesus has to do with discipleship, not salvation. The will of the father is to believe the record that God gave of his son (Jesus), which is that he died, was buried, and rose again the third day for your sins. It’s that easy. Anything other than simply believing in Jesus is a false gospel.
Repentance is simply a change of mind. It is NOT turning from sins. If turning from sins was required to get to heaven then we’re all going to Hell.
If we’re not saved by works, then works cannot be the evidence that we’re really saved. That’s a huge contradiction. Think about it.
@@HarpsDad22
For clarity, are you saying that I can “believe” Jesus died for my sins and rose again and then live however I want and be saved ?
Repentance, changing your mind, has to be followed by a change of action / the pursuit to change action - I’m not preaching a works gospel in the sense that we can work our way into heaven. I’m preaching a Gospel about what it looks like when Jesus is Lord over you. Jesus requires our obedient heart. That doesn’t mean we never make mistakes. It means our eye is focused on his kingdom and his spirit, our intentions are to operate according to Godly Love and to refrain from sin.
We water this down and create a really dangerous environment for ourselves and others.
I imagine the disciples doing everything they could to pursue righteousness through Christ. His death and resurrection are the things that give us the authority that we did not have under the law. (We lacked the Holy Spirit) as we Pursue the Holy Spirit we are empowered (not by our works) but by his spirit
Our “works” are not what get us to heaven, but they are surely a response to whether or not we believe the Power of God at heart. My goal is to empower believers to understand that we have an authority to pursue the Holy Spirit and to live in the Holiness that God calls us to but it’s only through a true gospel
Matthew 7:21-23
[21] Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. [22] Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? [23] And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
-
Luke 6:46
[46] And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
-
Romans 8:1
[1] There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, (who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.)
-
Romans 8:4
[4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
-
Romans 8:6-7
[6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. [7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
@@MatthewFayson The people in Matthew 7 are FALSE PROPHETS who trusted in their WORKS to get them to heaven. That’s why Jesus told them to depart from him because he NEVER knew them. They never trusted in Jesus alone for salvation. It wasn’t that they weren’t doing good works or doing the “will” of the father by doing more good deeds. The will of the father is to believe on the son (Jesus Christ)
You cannot use works as the proof of salvation. Matthew 7 proves this. You’re contradicting yourself by saying that works don’t get you saved, BUT if you’re “really” saved you’ll have good works to prove it by living a holy life.
You are mixing salvation and discipleship together. They are not the same thing. Salvation is a one time event when you put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ as the sufficient payment for your sins. When you believe the gospel you are eternally saved from that moment on. How you live your life after that has to do with spiritual growth, or discipleship. Once you marry the two together, you are absolutely trusting in YOUR works as a part of your salvation.
@@MatthewFaysonAmen!
@@HarpsDad22 1. I genuinely appreciate your dialogue
2. Humility - my ability to “do good” has nothing to do with my personal ability to do good. I’m filthy. My work can’t do anything for me. The point of my work is not to save me. Salvation is by the grace of God through our faith
But I do I have involvement in whether or not I inherit the kingdom of God.
Because of his grace through my faith
it is not of my works that God has presented this opportunity and there is no point of me even trying to WORK my debt off with good deeds
My work doesn’t cause God to send Jesus for Me.
My work also cannot delete my sins (this is the purpose of Jesus doing what he did)
So Jesus is the only one to forgive sin and that happens by grace through faith - I think we agree on that
But now that this is established - I have a choice to make.
I either yield to him as Lord and pursuit the spirit that he gave us to have power of sin OR I continue in sin
WILLFULLY
which is truly a sign that I do not understand the purpose of the cross and or the purpose of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit gives us a power over sin and also certain types of supernatural gifting
If I reject the Holy Spirit, reject the power over sin, and continue after the fleshly state
I have not truly come into agreement with christ. If I’m not in agreement with Christ - he is not Lord over me
My work doesn’t save me. Separate from the cross my work means nothing
But after the understanding of the cross, the work I do (whether it be in loving others or choosing to do evil) has EVERYTHING to do with the true condition of my heart
Jesus gives us very fair warnings about the need for a seed sewn (hearing the gospel and receiving it) needing to actually mature into good fruit
Many people who say Jesus is Lord will not enter the kingdom of heaven because the position of their heart - you’re 100% correct
Matthew 7 isn’t strictly talking about religious leaders ANYONE who calls Jesus Lord and has no agreement with obedience to him doesn’t truly have him as lord over them. Our faith in Christ, must promote a life in Christ and after the Holy Spirit
Those are not my words those are the words of Scripture
Roman’s 8 talks about it a lot
John 3:16 for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son that whoever believes in him may not perish but have eternal life notice it's says believe in him not receive and it says eternal life Not conditional, not if you do good deeds. Eternal eternal means for all eternity
Ephesians 2: 8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved through faith and it's not from your self's it's a gift of God not by works so that no one can boast
Notice it says we are saved by grace. A gift from God so we won't boast. Not by our works. It's very clear that all the work Christ did on the cross. For our salvation. It's.
What save does if we're depending on our works Is we are depending on sinners , which will not Give a salvation only Is believing what jesus did on the cross And daddy died for you and god rose him up from the dead That's the proper way and the only way to heaven
John 1:12
Yet to all who did receive him. Those who believed in his name, he gave the Power become children of God.
Is the scripture says receive Because you're receiving by faith.What he did on the cross for you.Dying and finishing the work on the cross for our salvation But it is clear for those who believed in His nameThat's the keywords right there.
I encourage you to go to the UA-cam channel Bible line.
They have a few videos there that explains in details what the word really says. Paul preaches free granetwork salvation. Be careful with the gospel is clear. We are saved by grace. As far as ourselves, we do not have a license to sin There are consequences But not lost of salvation once were saved , we cannot Lose our salvation, we are sealed with the Holy Spirit to the date of redemption.
God deals with the believers different than with the unbelievers, we are chastised. And we.
Lose heavenly rewards for our salvation is eternal.
People get that twisted. And they think that just because you're have eternal security. You could say in however you want. No, it has consequences, but not lost. Our salvation, it's secure and what Christ did on the cross for us. Hope this helped visit Bible land they will get in further details there and you will see the gospel is simple. It's not complicated. Too many people with too many false doctrines.Paul warned about this Hope this was helpful.God bless you , my brother , I'll Pray for you
the moment you hear a man say "we're not saved by works" you already know he has no clue what the verse means he is quoting and definitely learned from some you tube short magician or the likes . Paul is talking about the works of the old covenant , the law , you could just as accurately replace the word works with "law of Moses" and say " we are not saved by the law of Moses" . The works James is talking about , is obedience , and this we are saved by regardless if you like it or believe it or not , faith without works is dead and a man is not justified by faith alone . If you do not have the fruit , your faith was dead and you will be the dry branch from John 15 , you are the person from timothy heaping up teachers to your itchy ears because you did not want to live for God or serve God , you wanted a free pass out of hell while living for yourself .
let's keep this really simple , hebrews 5:9 says Jesus is the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him and does not say those who believe him , even the demons believe , we did not get here because adam did not believe in God , he did not obey God . The point of your faith is your obedience because it is your disobedience that separates you from God and disobedience comes from those who do not believe God , faith is your foundation for obedience . You can say you believe God , but if you deny him in works , you don't , you believe in whatever you feel like believing , you believe in false doctrines from men , like Jesus said , why call me Lord and do not the things I say , sounds like he wants works from you , obedience , why isn't he just happy you call him Lord with your mouth and believe in your heart?
the bible needs to be read as an entire message and not 1 verse or scattered verses even , yes we believe , yes its by grace , yes its by faith , but all of this does not all of a sudden make obedience disappear , you still need to crucify the flesh , take up your cross , deny yourself daily , work out your own salvation with fear , save yourselves from this untoward generation and so on , all found in scriptures they never quote .
you know why they do not quote them? they are not of God , they don't have his spirit , they are making money , getting fame online and don't wanna mess it all up , they like their perks and connections and success and the church buildings are doing the same on smaller scales .
just trust Jesus Christ , the word , get a King James , don't fall for this all translations are Gods word , its nonsense , get a KJB , stop saying Gods a trinity , repent of your sin , get baptized in the name of Jesus Christ and not his titles , live holy for God and out of love , you will indeed serve him , I don't feel forced to serve God , I love my Father , I wanna see his plan succeed and be apart of it .
if you deny this , its at your own destruction , but I tried and God tried through me and others , there is no rapture coming for you before Jesus arrives at the end , you need to follow the above and endure as a light in the darkness , stop falling for these false doctrines , get a sound mind , study to show thyself approved.

Can i get a conclusion cause no offense i ain't gonna read all dat
Brother, don't diminish the power of faith. Faith alone is ENOUGH to get you saved. However, true faith always produces fruits. And don't judge people with little fruits. There might be something they don't know. Maybe they misunderstand God. Maybe the pastor isn't that good at teaching. Just because they have little fruits doesn't mean they're not saved. And pursuing the spirit of God doesn't get you saved either because we're saved by grace, not by our works. You know this and explained this well in the video.
Don't fight sins with the law because the power of sin is the law. The more law you give people to do, the more sins they'll do. Do you want people to obey and trust God? Then teach them how much God loves them! Not scare them! If we know we're loved so much by God, we will stop wanting to sin. Also, you need to know your real identity. We are a 3-part being: spirit, soul, and body. The real us is the spirit, not the soul and body (the flesh).
If we keep saying, don't sin, don't sin, don't sin, we'll sin in the end. But if we BELIEVE that we are God's children. We are His favorites. We have died with Christ. We are a new creature. The old us has died. Then we'll have the power to get out of sins. Basically, if you are a tree and you want to produce oranges, you have to become an orange tree. If you are an apple tree, you'll never produce apples no matter how much you try.
The good news is that when we are saved, we get to be Children of God. We are like Jesus. We are Jesus tree now and if we keep believing, we'll produce Jesus's fruits soon. We are not sinners anymore. We are righteous through Christ. Please do try to read Romans again through the lens of LAW vs Grace. Flesh vs Spirit. And you'll see it more clearly.
Let the love of God and His grace do the work because the goodness of God leads you to repentance. No rush! Everyone's growing like a tree. It'll take time.
God bless you. I'd love to talk with you though. If you want to, please let me know. I'll email you.

Romans 4:5 (KJV) But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
We can't earn merit Gods favor,all we can do is believe that the Lord Jesus Christ paid our sin debt in full at the cross with his perfect blood 1cor15:1-4, Ephesians 2:8-9
What does it mean to be a disciple? Discipline...
Brother, I see your zeal for the Lord and your genuine heart for others to know Him, so I encourage you to get deeper in the scriptures and ask God for more revelation of His wonderful grace.
Salvation is that easiest thing to acquire in this world, all it takes is faith. Yes, it’s that simple and easy. Confessing with our mouths the Lord Jesus and believing with our hearts he rose from the dead is all it it takes, no questions asked. No amount of “repenting, turning away from sin, following Jesus” can get us saved, it’s all by His grace. All these things are fruits, not roots of our salvation, because otherwise, if we had any strength to do them for salvation, Christ didn’t need to come to live a perfect life for us, be fully obedient to God, fulfill the Law, then die and resurrect.
All the verses you pointed that seemingly seems to contradict simply believing and confessing for salvation, must be interpreted in their context, as you rightly pointed. Context is key.
I’ll give you a clue: Romans 7-8 is dealing with law (self effort, i.e flesh) v. grace (e.i the spirit).
Hey my man thanks for your comment

3. When you Believe that God raises Jesus from the dead. You should also know why he did it. Jesus is killed to pay the cost of sin, When he's raised back up, God is displaying His Divinity, His Power, His Authority, & Truth.

This video is challenging the idea of “confessing something with your mouth that you don’t truly believe”
Belief in Christ ALWAYS produces fruit
Also wanted to say - thank you for defending the faith man. One thing I always want to spot line is when people are coming from the heart to defend the faith and to help others. So even if there is some level of disagreement, I’m grateful for you.
People who are humble, meek, and good, will be saved. They need to wake up to truth though. Jesus means Savior. Heavenly Father chooses a new savior when he needs to.
Scripture to be saved
Psalm 111:10 KJV "The fear of the Lord[Jesus] is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever."
John 6:38-40 KJV "For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the [will of him] that sent me. And this is the [Father's will] which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And [this is the will of him that sent me,] that every one which seeth the Son, and [believeth on him,] may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one."

What a game were born into.
For salvation from eternal hell fire the only condition is believing with your heart that Jesus is Lord and that he rose from the dead , that’s it
No, repentance of sin is also required and without this there will be no salvation. Without holiness no man will see the Lord.
@@thewhole_picture1743 if you mix repentance with salvation from hell fire, you are in a wrong gospel because you are basically saying if you want to see God the father and know him you should first repent from all in order to gain access to see the Lord that is a false gospel, Those who actually see the Lord Jesus without any repentance and just by grace alone Jesus itself change their hearts and he is the one who produces the repentance.
Dont we ever wished that it was that easy. But god knows our hearts.

The Gospel
Romans 3:21-26
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
[Believe in this, you will be instantly born again on the other side of the veil, the holy spirit. Ultimately believe in Jesus's "life, death, burial, and resurrection."]

The 10 Commandments
1. You shall have no other gods before Me. (Judah, Islam, Hindu, Jehovah witness, 7th day Adventists, Catholics, Mormons, Buddhists, agnostics, atheists,)
2. You shall make no idols. (objects, people, ideology)
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. (Jesus Christ, Holy S^#^, God D@*% It)
4. Keep the Sabbath day holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder. (Hate someone verbally, by thought, or physically end their life)
7. You shall not commit adultery. (look at someone for sexual desire, lust, sex before marriage, or an affair in marriage.)
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (tell a lie)
10. You shall not covet. (to desire something, wish for, unlawfully want in an inappropriate manner)
[Breaking just 1 of these condemns us to Hell for eternity after death, no matter how minor, or grand the offense. On average we all have broken these at least 100,000 times in our lifetime. If not, more..
Believing in Jesus Christ who made this Law of Moses obsolete by his sacrifice on the cross. Is who can save us from Hell. Because no matter what good we do on this earth.
We cannot stand before God at the white throne of judgement, perfect as Jesus. Who never sinned.
Therefore, if you wish to enter Heaven, Jesus is the door to Heaven, and only a person who believes in him will be forgiven, washed new, and will enter new life for eternity, and will never ever die again, nor feel pain, sadness, etc.]

The Scariest Verse in the Bible
Matthew 7:21-23 KJV
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth [the will] of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
John 6:38-40 KJV
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the [will of him] that sent me.
And this is the [Father's will] which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And [this is the will of him that sent me,] that every one which seeth the Son, and [believeth on him,] may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
[To believe only in Jesus Christ, is to do the [will] of the Father. Do that, and you will never hear those words uttered from Jesus himself after death.]
----------------------------------------------------------
Repentance
"Repent, or Repentance" is to change your mind from that which you believed on, or perceived in belief of to be true.
It has 100% nothing to do with sins. If anyone tells you otherwise, does not understand the word of God.
The word Repent is used a total of 43 times in the Holy Bible.
www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/search.php?q=repent
PROPITIATION
1. The act of appeasing wrath and conciliating the favor of an offended person; the act of making propitious.
2. In theology, the atonement or atoning sacrifice offered to God to assuage his wrath and render him propitious to sinners. Christ is the propitiation for the sins of men. Romans 3:25. 1 John 2:2.
----------------------------------------------------------
Sin/Death/Hell
Sin: is the imperfection of GODs glory
Death: is separation from GOD
Hell: is for fallen Angels, & Sinners [unbelievers]
Great job on this explanation
Works are instrumental for salvation Look at this: *Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth - those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. John 5:28-29 (NKJV)* Trust the bible.
Works are by "Sanctification", not "Salvation." Also, the NKJV is a counterfeit bible, as is every translation that came out since it, and the ASV. Read the KJV, where nothing has been added/subtract, or modified.
You came so close, my friend. Why stop short of obeying God’s command to be baptized for the forgiveness of sins (Acts 2:37-38)? To wash away your sins (Acts 22:16)? To be saved (Mark 16:16; 1 Peter 3:21)? To be born of water and Spirit (John 3:5)?
It is no more a work of man than repentance and living faithfully. It is the work of God (Colossians 2:12).
It is what the Ethiopian eunuch did in Acts 8 after Philip “preached Jesus to him.” How would the Ethiopian know to ask for water baptism unless Philip had preached it as part of preaching Jesus?
You are on the right track, and SO close! Think about this: You mentioned context in Romans. The same goes for Ephesians. Paul wasn’t saying in Ephesians 2 that God has no requirements of us. Look at the context of “works” there. He was talking about the works of the law of Moses.
Water baptism is the mode which God has chosen to wash us in His blood. Romans 6 says “united with Him IN THE LIKENESS of His death.” and “IN THE LIKENESS of His resurrection.” What can be more “in the likeness” of that than immersion in and emergence from water? That is the likeness of his death, burial, and resurrection - the gospel.
Romans 6 is describing how we “obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus.” The Bible tells us that Jesus will take “vengeance on those who do not know God and who do not obey the gospel of our Lord, Jesus.” (2 Thessalonians 1:8).
Obey it in faith and be saved! God, by grace, gave us His plan to save us. That is “by grace.” Our part is to believe him enough to obey His command. That is “through faith.”
So, yes, we are indeed saved by grace, through faith. Without God’s plan that HE made, nothing we could ever do would save us. We could dip ourselves in water a million times, and it would be nothing more than getting wet.
It’s true - God’s plan of salvation is “not of ourselves.” Not OF us. We didn’t invent it or give it its power - we can’t. Acknowledging that water immersion is part of that plan does not negate God’s grace in any way.
Just like Noah couldn’t take credit for saving himself by building an ark, we can’t take credit for baptism’s power to save us. We merely submit in obedience through faith to what God has commanded. It’s power to save us is God’s power by his grace, obeyed by us through faith. Do you understand?
I have always believed what you're saying I have always believed that people have Grace so confused. My biggest fear is I don't know that I grasped the will of the Father. Is it just to repent and live as sin free life as possible? I was raised in church and Christian School an my faith is so strong but I am and have always been freaking out about that one scripture you just read and I'm afraid that Jesus will tell me he never knew me because I don't understand the will of the Father for my life.
@@sharpuverse7465 Hey, here’s my understanding
1. We are Saved by the Grace of God through our Faith. There is no amount of work that saves us. Whether that work is fulfilling commandments, being charitable, being a good person, etc NO WORK SAVES YOU
2. But when you Confess/Agree that Jesus is Lord, you are stating that you are willing to submit to his authority over you. Rather than being your own God or submitting to any other God, you bend your knee to Jesus. Which does produce work/actions that reflect Jesus. That doesn't mean that I act perfect. It means my pursuit is his Spirit and not to carelessly live according to my own flesh. So I’m actively searching scripture and allowing the Bible to correct me, doing that willfully (this doesn’t save me but it’s wise to do)
3. When you Believe that God raises Jesus from the dead. You should also know why he did it. Jesus is killed to pay the cost of sin, When he's raised back up, God is displaying His Divinity, His Power, His Authority, & Truth. To believe that God raised him from the Grave is to believe that Jesus was prophetically true about who he was and also that The Father in Heaven has the ultimate power over all things, even that which defies nature. He's Supernatural. Which is important to believe because we cannot naturally cleanse ourselves with works, we need a supernatural cleanser & a supernatural encounter to cleanse us or we would need to die (do to our sin)
4. When we come into realization of this, we also inherit the Holy Spirit, which gives us authority over sin the same way Jesus had authority over sin. It also gives us conviction to care for the things that Jesus cares for. Which is completely unnatural to someone who is not born again. My ability to refrain from sin, is not due to my discipline or will power. My ability to refrain from sin has nothing to do with my "works" but everything to do with the work of the Holy Spirit working in me that produces a work/evidence
5. When I say our work is evidence of salvation, I'm really trying to say that the Holy Spirit working within me, Provokes Goodness, and it provokes an objection to sin (pursuit of righteousness). It isn't that I'm working my way to salvation, it's that salvation is actually working on me and in me and it shows up in my actions.
6. A person who is not changing or at least convicted of change / desiring change etc they aren't reborn. They are still in the nature of the flesh - even if they said Jesus is Lord. Specifically because they honor him with their lips but their heart is far from him.
So to sum all of that up, the only way to heaven is to place your faith in Jesus Christ as lord and belief in the power/purpose of his mission on earth / God raising Jesus from the dead
When you’ve truly come to this point in faith, you receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is what seals you.
The Lord is abundantly Good, so faithful and forgiving, don’t let this post scare you and put you in constant fear let it aware you and provoke you to seek the Father.
Lastly, we must forgive others to be forgiven by the Lord
@@MatthewFayson Thanku so deeply brother and please pray for me and may the Creator the Messiah bless you in All things.
And I guess I should have clarified did I do believe in His grace but I feel like it was kind of the same kind of Grace that my dad bestowed upon me when he brought my second car when I was in high school because I totaled my 1st. By God's grace and sending his son to die for our sins we can gain eternal life and it is not by works. And no I don't believe that keeping the commandments will get you to heaven but Jesus said if you love me you will keep all of my father's commandments
Man I'm stuck in Kokomo Indiana and I wish you were my next door neighbor brother as God is separated me from the world and I have no friends LOL thank you for all you said to me
And see the message about repentance is about us living by the law because repentance is turning away from breaking those commandments so no our works don't say this but our works are expected
I think that people are confused on what works are. I think that works and The 10 Commandments or moral law are different things. I don’t know I’m just learning all this and people do make it confusing at times
I do think you have a great point here. For simplicity sake I'm trying to communicate a consistent idea in all the comments.
1. We are Saved by the Grace of God through our Faith. There is no amount of work that saves us. Whether that work is fulfilling commandments, being charitable, etc NO WORK SAVES YOU

@@MatthewFayson yes this I agree with. There is no way to God in Heaven without accepting that Jesus is the only way for we are all sinners. And it happens when you surrender yourself to him. I believe if you simply accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior but do nothing as for repenting of your sins you are traveling down the broad path which leads to destruction.
Let me make this clear. We Christians believe the Bible is infallible and inerrant. Therefore, there are no half-truth about the Bible's teachings. Romans 10:9 clearly states "that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved;" If you confess Jesus is Lord and in your heart believe in what the Bible teaches, it means God the Father has called you, because you were written in the book of life before the foundations of the world (Matthew 25:34) and Jesus will make sure you will be saved (John 3:14-18).
And Mathew 5:18 says until Heaven and earth have passed one jot or one tittle shall pass from the law, until ALL be fulfilled… So until Jesus comes back the second time to judge everyone we still need to be following his commandments.
Yes - No ?
Hey Victor,
1. Thank you for defending the gospel, I have the same goal.
2. I believe 100% of what you just stated - up until "Jesus will make sure you will be saved", I may not understand what you're saying, but on a general sense, I don't believe that Jesus will force salvation onto anyone, so I'm curious as to what you mean by this comment.

While I believe the scriptures, I'm challenging our understanding of what they mean and trying to bring context to them.

You can’t live like the devil’s child all week then Sundays you belong to God. Hypocrite Status and danger ‼️ zone .
Sorry 😂so long. I just wanted to cross reference his question so he and everyone can study. ❤God bless
You are literally walking back what Jesus did on the cross for our redemption and making it about never sinning. We are incapable of not sinning. It is a lesson learned throughout the ENTIRE Bible. Check out Romans 7: 14-25 as one example. And the Bible is NOT one book as you claim in the beginning of your video, it is a compilation of many books. Did you seek the Lord's wisdom before posting this? If you are seriously thinking what you say here is Jesus' Truth I am afraid you have been deceived by the enemy. Many who are saved are under extreme spiritual attack right now because we are in the end times. I will pray that Jesus confirms/reaffirms the real Truth of His sacrifice for you.
He never said we are capable of NOT EVER SINNING. He quoted the scripture about PURSUING your sin. Major difference.
Many believers are certainly under attack right now as we are in the end times. And many believers are operating with a religious spirit……
Nothing about what I said denies anything about what Jesus did on the cross. As I’ve mentioned before
We are saved purely by the grace of God through our faith.
Our work has nothing to do with washing away our sin.
In this way - works aren’t related to salvation
We cannot work our way into erasing our sin.
But if we look at the conversation of salvation in its entirety - we find that anyone truly coming to the knowledge of Jesus Christ / anyone who has confessed Jesus as Lord is supernatural moved toward consecration which can only happen through the grace of God.
Our work does not save us, but continued sinful behavior is evidence that we have not been renewed. If we then deny that renewal we are indeed denying the Holy Spirit - you cannot be saved and deny the Holy Spirit at once
This is all well documented in Roman’s
In addition to this - we have to open our minds to the words Jesus spoke
Matthew 7:21 - not all who call me lord will enter the kingdom but those who do the will of my father. This isn’t because our work saves us, but it is because our submission to Christ causes the work of Christ to be done in and through us
Though I respect what you’re trying to communicate, I would very much like for you to speak from scripture and not from tradition
My scriptural references have been stated
Matthew 7:21
Luke 6:46
Roman’s 8:1 (specifically the latter half of that verse)
Roman’s 8:4 (the latter half)
Roman’s 8:14
Then I’m interested to know why Jesus tells the rich young ruler to give away his possessions - my understanding is that the work / willingness to give away his possession revealed the true condition of what was in his heart
Our unwillingness to pursue the spirit of God / yield to Jesus with obedience is a pure evidence that we either don’t truly believe in the depth of our heart or that we believe but are Luke warm
@@MatthewFayson alright, what you've said here all aligns with what I also believe. Your video however was sounding quite different and my worry is that it could make people question their salvation so much so that it could put unnecessary doubt in their hearts possibly leaving them open to the enemy. I must admit I did not watch the entire video as I didn't want to continue hearing what seemed like false doctrine. Clearly you know what you are about and I apologize for criticizing you. God bless you!
@@ct012 I’m not owed an apology, what you did is what you should’ve done
You were defending the gospel which I appreciate, regardless of a disagreement, your desire was to defend the gospel.
It also put a conviction on me to add clarity which I noticed was needed after reading your comment.
I don’t want anyone to feel as if they are being condemned but I also don’t mind someone questioning themselves - sometimes we need those questions to drive us into real relationship
Lastly I don’t want anyone to think that they can work themselves into Gods grace, what I’m attempting to communicate is that once confession of Christ happens, there should be a shift of the spirit
This doesn’t mean I am perfect in my actions, but rather than I have inherited a spirit of obedience that causes me to pursue the spirit rather than the flesh
Something I wish that I would’ve added - we can’t look at each other’s “sins” and decide who is saved vs who is not
We are all in different seasons of transformation
I have certain struggles that you don’t have but if I am saved I will be in pursuit of obedience rather than in pursuit of satisfying my flesh
That’s my opinion based on my understanding of scripture
In Mathew 7 when he says depart from me you workers of iniquity I never knew you… doesn’t iniquity mean Lawlessness? You still have to obey the commandments, I’m not saying that if you sin again you are out but you have to put an effort to sin no more. 🤷♂️
This is Lordship Salvation. If you do anything to aid in your salvation, that is a work. Salvation is NOT of works so that NO MAN may boast. But yes, I do still Repent, not to get saved, but because I already am saved as thanks to the Lord.
This is the same comment I’ve left on other responses for extreme clarity
1. We are Saved by the Grace of God through our Faith. There is no amount of work that saves us. Whether that work is fulfilling commandments, being charitable, being a good person, etc NO WORK SAVES YOU
2. But when you Confess/Agree that Jesus is Lord, you are stating that you are willing to submit to his authority over you. Rather than being your own God or submitting to any other God, you bend your knee to Jesus. Which does produce work/actions that reflect Jesus. That doesn't mean that I act perfect. It means my pursuit is his Spirit and not to carelessly live according to my own flesh
3. When you Believe that God raises Jesus from the dead. You should also know why he did it. Jesus is killed to pay the cost of sin, When he's raised back up, God is displaying His Divinity, His Power, His Authority, & Truth. To believe that God raised him from the Grave is to believe that Jesus was prophetically true about who he was and also that The Father in Heaven has the ultimate power over all things, even that which defies nature. He's Supernatural. Which is important to believe because we cannot naturally cleanse ourselves with works, we need a supernatural cleanser & a supernatural encounter to cleanse us or we would need to die (do to our sin) - I think we agree on that part....but
4. When we come into realization of this, we also inherit the Holy Spirit, which gives us authority over sin the same way Jesus had authority over sin. It also gives us conviction to care for the things that Jesus cares for. Which is completely unnatural to someone who is not born again. My ability to refrain from sin, is not due to my discipline or will power. My ability to refrain from sin has nothing to do with my "works" but everything to do with the work of the Holy Spirit working in me that produces a work/evidence
5. When I say our work is evidence of salvation, I'm really trying to say that the Holy Spirit working within me, Provokes Goodness, and it provokes an objection to sin (pursuit of righteousness). It isn't that I'm working my way to salvation, it's that salvation is actually working on me and in me and it shows up in my actions.
6. A person who is not changing or at least convicted of change / desiring change etc they aren't reborn. They are still in the nature of the flesh - even if they said Jesus is Lord. Specifically because they honor him with their lips but their heart is far from him
you confess he is Lord right? and what is a Lord? it means master , and who is a master? someone you obey ................not someone you believe
What would you suggest for someone who has had a lifelong struggle with addiction? The Lord has changed my heart dramatically but my struggle with addiction continues.
@@otrinity8381 hey, interesting enough I was actually planning to record a video tonight about addiction (which I’ve personally dealt with)
I won’t claim to have every answer on this but I’m really happy to share my experience
(which was very successful and I no longer deal with it)
It was EXTREMELY hard for me until I had a few key revelations
If I get this uploaded tonight / tomorrow I’ll be sure to let you know
If not, I’m going to have it up by Monday morning
-
In the mean time: I hope you know the Lord loves you even more than you can imagine and he is not “mad” at you for struggling. Your desire for change is beautiful and I genuinely think the father is pleased that you have desire to pursue him at a deeper level.
Addiction is hard, you aren’t alone, and I believe that your time is coming where you’ll be able to tell people about your testimony
I can’t wait to share the next video!!
my view on people with addiction struggles.
Many addictions that people have.. hardly changes God's view of that person.
What is really important in my mind is the person must be honest with themselves and with God.
But it's hard when a person doesn't even know they themselves are deceived.
I want to quote Matthew 7:22... to point out deception.. however.. i don't think the passage is specifically teaching it's a "truth in your own heart" issue.. BUT.. that's what i'd like you to consider as you view this quote.
On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name? ' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.
@@cryptfire3158 hey My friend - as always thanks for adding thoughts
Personally I don’t relate this scripture to addiction in any way.
Addiction is an interesting thing because it isn’t necessarily an issue of someone’s will but more an issue of the system they function under - I’ll explain this in depth when the video is up
Personally I think God has tons of empathy toward the person with addiction, many people with addiction are pursuing that desire and don’t want to change
Many others want to change and don’t know how to change it because again they are functioning under a system that has quite literally altered the brain
Really excited to share my personally experience here
Hey, sorry it took longer than expected but I just made a video about addiction, I’m going to probably create a more extended resource but this is a start
Hey, sorry it was delayed but I just made a video about addiction - you can check it out on my page
But the confessing with your mouth and believing in your heart didn’t feel like the whole actual truth and I’m glad my eyes are opened nwo
@@Diegocasto920 I believe confessing with your mouth and believing with your heart is the entire truth
I think we just miss the point on what that means - so we loosely say it “I believe Jesus died for my sins” having no clue what we are even talking about and then living a life that clearly shows we don’t understand what we are talking about
@@MatthewFaysonso if we confess him as our lord and believe in him and repent and turn away from sin because what Jesus did for us is that being saved.?
Amen 🙏🏾 ❤
The caption is a bit clickbaity ngl . But I hear you❤
Great vid! Heres the manner I look at this topic:
Name ~= way
When one confesses christ as lord it has nothing to do with the name, nothing to do with the per-son (Jesus was "no respecter of persons") and everything to do with the path that Jesus walked. That is why the man who hears christs preaching and does "builds his house on a rock", and those who do not are serving "both God and mammon". In general, actions should always align with belief if the eye is to be single.
My man! Your comment was drowning by all the commotion haha thanks for watching. I'm not sure I understood the first half of your comment. Can you explain
@@MatthewFayson fwiw, this is coffee shop Matt.
You know that the snake staff moses used to repel the adders became an idol? In the second book of kings that the staff was destroyed because the people weren't respecting it properly. Similar to how God rebuked folk who were worshipping the moon in isaiah - the new moon was meant to be a psychological aid indicating that "you always have the chance to renew", but it became effectively a per-verse replacement for God's uni-versal (and beyond!) nature.
For too many people, Jesus has gone the way of the staff of Moses- an incredibly appropriate analogy given that Jesus himself suggested his purpose was likened unto the staff of Moses. The godspells were meant to direct folks attention back to the Father who is All, Jesus never wanted worship. "None are good but god", "be ye perfect as the father is perfect", "it is not me who speaks but the father". Etc.
Unfortunately folk worship Jesus/christ, this isn't really correct. They think the name is special, they think the per-son is special; in a sense they aren't wrong, he was a very unique man and a blessing to humanity. But his name is not important, nor his sonship imho - what is most important is that we emulate his behavior, which re-son-ates easily with humanity because the law is already written on our hearts per jeremiah(I think, maybe isaiah. In emulating Jesus we are respecting the law that is already on our hearts and thus the eye becomes single.
By emulating christ we align our mind/body/spirit with the Father, this is the purpose of jesus. I'm ADD I think 😄 lmk of that clarifies my stance. I think your video did a great job of expressing that mere lips service is unacceptable, I love that you brought this to people's attention.
You removed my comment?
... someone flagged me I think, I gave a robust response to your question, I don't feel like repeating. This is coffee shop Matt, just ask me in person when you see me
@@matthewbiesen7867 no I didn’t remove it, not sure what happened there but yes we will talk!
I think it is obvious that you have to also follow God's commandments.
Scripture to be saved
Psalm 111:10 KJV "The fear of the Lord[Jesus] is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do his commandments: his praise endureth for ever."
John 6:38-40 KJV "For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the [will of him] that sent me. And this is the [Father's will] which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And [this is the will of him that sent me,] that every one which seeth the Son, and [believeth on him,] may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day."
John 8:24 KJV "I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins." - Jesus Christ.
John 10: 25-30 KJV "Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one."
John 11:23-27 KJV "Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world."
John 14:6 KJV "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."
Romans 6:23 KJV "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 10:9 KJV "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 10:13 KJV "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
Acts 10:43 "To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins."
Acts 13: 38-39 KJV "Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that [believe] are justified from [all things], from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses."
Acts 16: 30-31 KJV "And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house."
John 3:16-18 KJV "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
Ephesians 1:12-13 "That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise"
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Not of works, lest any man should boast."
("any man" is the "unbeliever" who never believed in Jesus. Because unbeliever's don't know they are not to count on their works as the way into heaven. For Jesus Christ requires faith in [his/Jesus's] work, for he is the Gate to heaven, on that narrow path that leads strait to the gate that is Christ Jesus.)
Titus 3: 3-7 KJV "For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life."

The Gospel
Romans 3:21-26
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
[Believe in this, you will be instantly born again on the other side of the veil, the holy spirit. Ultimately believe in Jesus's "life, death, burial, and resurrection."]

The 10 Commandments
1. You shall have no other gods before Me. (Judah, Islam, Hindu, Jehovah witness, 7th day Adventists, Catholics, Mormons, Buddhists, agnostics, atheists,)
2. You shall make no idols. (objects, people, ideology)
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. (Jesus Christ, Holy S^#^, God D@*% It)
4. Keep the Sabbath day holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder. (Hate someone verbally, by thought, or physically end their life)
7. You shall not commit adultery. (look at someone for sexual desire, lust, sex before marriage, or an affair in marriage.)
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. (tell a lie)
10. You shall not covet. (to desire something, wish for, unlawfully want in an inappropriate manner)
[Breaking just 1 of these condemns us to Hell for eternity after death, no matter how minor, or grand the offense. On average we all have broken these at least 100,000 times in our lifetime. If not, more..
Believing in Jesus Christ who made this Law of Moses obsolete by his sacrifice on the cross. Is who can save us from Hell. Because no matter what good we do on this earth.
We cannot stand before God at the white throne of judgement, perfect as Jesus. Who never sinned.
Therefore, if you wish to enter Heaven, Jesus is the door to Heaven, and only a person who believes in him will be forgiven, washed new, and will enter new life for eternity, and will never ever die again, nor feel pain, sadness, etc.]

The Scariest Verse in the Bible
Matthew 7:21-23 KJV
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth [the will] of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
John 6:38-40 KJV
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the [will of him] that sent me.
And this is the [Father's will] which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And [this is the will of him that sent me,] that every one which seeth the Son, and [believeth on him,] may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
[To believe only in Jesus Christ, is to do the [will] of the Father. Do that, and you will never hear those words uttered from Jesus himself after death.]
----------------------------------------------------------
Repentance
"Repent, or Repentance" is to change your mind from that which you believed on, or perceived in belief of to be true.
It has 100% nothing to do with sins. If anyone tells you otherwise, does not understand the word of God.
The word Repent is used a total of 43 times in the Holy Bible.
www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/search.php?q=repent
PROPITIATION
1. The act of appeasing wrath and conciliating the favor of an offended person; the act of making propitious.
2. In theology, the atonement or atoning sacrifice offered to God to assuage his wrath and render him propitious to sinners. Christ is the propitiation for the sins of men. Romans 3:25. 1 John 2:2.
----------------------------------------------------------
Sin/Death/Hell
Sin: is the imperfection of GODs glory
Death: is separation from GOD
Hell: is for fallen Angels, & Sinners [unbelievers]
You make a mistake at the beginning, saying "we were taught" and "you dig deeper". It's called "reading the bibel". God teaches you His word and most of us read it every day, because He is the word and we love Him.
I haven't watched the entire video, but I am happy that you now read the bibel. Continue and grow in His word. God bless!
And read the epistle to the corinthians and check then again if you really want to put a baseball cap on while talking about God. Nobody wears a hat at home anyway but Paul is clear on head coverings.
?
Real good and well explained.
@@yolandamagida6738 thanks Yolanda ! If you’re willing, can you share the video (maybe on Facebook)
Thanks again
What about a drug addiction (Suboxone) where the person really, really hates it, and is haunted with guilt and fear of Hell and loathes their own disobedience to God.
Yet they cannot break free of it.....what then? Are the damned?
@@itsjustme8846 this is just me talking right now - I don’t have any scripture for this thought.
My dad was a life long addict and died in his 50’s
He seemed to genuinely love the Lord.
I’m not sure the fullness of his relationship with Jesus, but I’d like to think that he received the mercy of God.
Addictions are tough - we open ourselves up to them, but I once they change the chemistry in our brain - really hard to break.
My advice would be to go watch the video on my channel called addiction no more
It may really help you. I personally believe everyone can be freed from addiction with the right information, action, and support
But u think it’s really important to believe it
The same power that lifted Jesus from the grave is available to us when we have submitted to Jesus as lord and believe that God raised him from the grave…we then receive the Holy Spirit and have power of a sound mind which is needed to end addictions.
Please watch that video on the page and see if it helps
If they believe in Jesus Christ as their Lord & savior. They are forgiven, and understand this. God is the "Author" of LOVE, and [is] LOVE. There is nothing he wouldn't do to save a person who has done any wrong. All he asks is to believe in Jesus Christ. For we were created in his image, and losing anyone of us because we [chose] not to believe on Jesus, breaks his heart immensely, because he does not want to live apart from us.
Acts 13: 38-39 KJV
Be it known unto you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins: And by him all that [believe] are justified from [all things], from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
@@JesusIsRealJ1247 hey, again I think my communication is highly misunderstand
What constitutes as belief in a person.
Is it to believe that Jesus existed and to belief in the purpose of why he came to the earth?
Further, I have no disagreement with any scripture, scripture is accurately - but it seems that people isolate scripture when salvation comes into question
I’m not comfortable doing that.
So as frequently as we can say by grace and through faith / not of any man’s works that they may boast / etc
We can also find an equally weighed argument for the expectation of living your faith out and not just saying it loosely
Jesus, Paul, & James all expressed this
Im fully of this belief.
1. No man can work his way to salvation. It’s impossible and a lost cause
2. Once a man or woman comes to the faith truly, their condition changes. When a person says Jesus is Lord, it indicates that they are yielding to him as the authority over them.
3. Confessing Jesus as lord and saying I’m going to live my way and please myself how I like isn’t an agreement that he’s lord.
So we need to ask what does it mean to believe.
There are many warnings about people who professed faith but weren’t honest in their professing of it
Didn't the prisoner on the Cross next to Jesus defend Jesus and say "Please remember me when you go into your Kingdom"? What do you say about that (genuinely asking)
@@blitz2725 that’s the interesting thing about the kingdom - that man’s heart, Jesus knew that it was truly for him. For that man to recognize the purity of Christ in that moment of complete suffering, for him to realize the glory of Jesus, was only revealed by the power of God.
Personally, I imagine this man, could see the suffering of Christ and knew something was different about him - in his heart He realized the truth, even though it was the last “hour” of that man’s life. I believe if his physical life was spared, he would’ve become like the disciples, pursuing the will of God. It’s hard to imagine knowing the truth about Jesus and rejected to fully pursue Him. It’s hard to imagine understanding the purpose of the Holy Spirit and then simultaneously saying “I’m going to do whatever I want” it just doesn’t mix, so I believe that man would’ve pursued righteousness through Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit if he remained alive
Lastly
I don’t think there is a special treatment for being in the “club” longer than someone else.
Specifically relating to salvation but once you’re in heaven I do believe the rewards are different.
I could look and say “that’s not fair” or I could look and say “thank you lord for your mercy on that man’s life, even in the last hour”
That’s my opinion
@@blitz2725 also, remember one of the men being crucified showed no change of heart, he just wanted God to save him
“Aren’t you the messiah, save yourself and us”
While the other man repented, recognizing that he was suffering a just punishment so then he asks Jesus to remember him with humility
Some people just want God to save them from wrath others recognize what they deserve and through humility are seeking forgiveness that only comes through Jesus
@@MatthewFayson i never thought about it like that. Thank you
@@blitz2725 thanks for bringing it up, it provoked thought for me as well
So, not just anybody said that if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth you will be saved. The Bible says it. Verbatim. Give Romans 10 a read.
@@medic4christ777 hey there, I think you might be missing the point of what’s being said in the video
This isn’t disagreeing with Roman’s ten - it’s more of an emphasis on what it means. The idea of loosely saying it misleads a lot of people.
We need to think with some context, reading the things that Paul said before this.
Even more, we need to look at all of the things Jesus says about entering the kingdom
@@MatthewFayson You are saying Romans 10 misleads people? Romans 10 is pretty clear. Salvation is a free gift received by believing. Jesus says the same. Let Gods word be true and every man a liar. I’ll stick with the Word, thanks.
@@medic4christ777 that’s not even close to what I’m saying
@@MatthewFayson What I hear you saying is that we should take the clear teaching of how to be saved in Romans 10 with a grain of salt, and instead listen to you about how someone is REALLY saved. Then you proceed to add works to the requirement for salvation. My friend, you are on a dangerous path.
@@medic4christ777 I’m going to spell this out so that no one is confused by what you’re saying - which is definitely not what I’m saying
Here we go folks
1. We are saved by the grace of God, through the work of Christ, which we place our faith into. We believe that Jesus died, paying the price for our sins. We are filthy rags, there is nothing that a human being can do to EARN salvation. Even if you did all the good work in the world, you’re already dirty. No amount of good work can cleanse you to perfection which is why Jesus is in charge of perfecting us.
2. When you have truly placed your faith in Christ, it will become evident through conviction (which the law of God and Holy Spirit help us to realize)
3. When you truly have placed your faith in Christ it changes your heart from desiring to please yourself at all cost, to then, desiring to do the will of the father which includes produces good work.
4. Your good work cannot save you, but the absence of pursuing the goodness of the Lord, pursuing the Holy Spirit, being unrepentant, etc is evidence that you do not understand the gospel and you’ve probably been fed part of a message and not the whole thing.
@medic4christ777 if you’d like to argue against that - go for it. If you need me to justify each and every point I’ll put the scriptures right here for everyone to see
Romans 10:9 is not intended to give you an entire story. It is 100% accurately but it is not the entirety of the story. Scripture is not supposed to be isolated, it needs context - which means you have to read scripture with other scripture
The same man that said confess with your mouth also said pursue the spirit and not the flesh, he also said if you do not have the spirit, you are not a child of God
Are you arguing with me or Paul ?
I usually don’t ask for prayers, could y’all pray for God to convict me of doing remorse? when I sin which is alot I don’t feel guilt or remorse like I actually should and I know it’s not Good
@@Diegocasto920 Hey Man, this is usually what happens when we “quench” the Holy Spirit. God gives us law to reveal right and wrong / good and evil etc
But he gives us the Holy Spirit for conviction and also for power
The same spirit that helps us to feel conviction, gives us power over sin
Some things that may help you in no particular order
1. Read the Bible - Hebrews 4:12 says that the Bible is like a sharp sword that can cut through you and get to the core of who you are. The Bible reveals to us the truth of what’s in our heart. Sometimes we don’t realize how filthy we are, the Bible can show us but it also gives us solutions to fix the filth. If you don’t think the Bible is true…you may want to ask yourself why and then make sure you’re not believing regurgitated lies (people have tried to debunk the Bible for a long time) how come no one has succeeded yet
2. Pray and ask God for his forgiveness and mercy, ask him to help you in the areas that you’re weak and be willing to do the work.
3. Trying to feel remorse without having fundamental beliefs about the Holy Spirit usually doesn’t work out well. The Holy Spirit carries the ability to judge you into conviction but also has the power to help you to overcome sin. You’ve got to start working on not ignoring the Holy Spirit, you’ve probably silenced The Holy Spirit far too long and now you need to repent and ask the Lord for help.
4. The really positive and hopeful aspect of all of this is that you’re actually expressing conviction right now, the desire to feel conviction is conviction in itself. Conviction that you don’t feel conviction is still conviction. But you’ve gotten strengthen yourself in the word, pursue the spirit of God, pursue the kingdom of God. It’s everyday not just one and done
@@MatthewFayson how do I not ignore the Holy Spirit tho? Because I may have it appears
@@Diegocasto920 this may sound simple - but when you get the nudge, start responding to it
I did a video about addiction on my channel, go watch it and I explain this a little bit.
I can almost guarantee that you’ll begin to realize that nudge before doing something that you shouldn’t
If you genuinely feel as if you have no small nudge to reconsider your thoughts after this, maybe this is a thing of revisiting the conversation of salvation and whether or not your faith is in Christ.
If there is legitimately no conviction about wrong doing and no desire to change it’s usually a sign that someone is not reborn / saved
But you seem to have a desire for change which tells me you probably have more conviction than you even realize
Now it’s time to start listening to that conviction - watch that video and then let me know if it helps
@@MatthewFayson sorry if I’m bothering you with questions but how do I not ignore the Holy Spirit I’m understanding that I’ve stopped listening to him which is extremely foolish of me and I need to repent of it
@@Diegocasto920 you’re not bothering me at all haha man I wish everyone asked these questions
My hope is for people to be free and to realize the power of Jesus - I saw you watched the other video…man I’m so happy for what’s going to happen in your life
Reach out anytime, if you need to chat personally send me a message on IG

Great video! What if you sin and repent, sin and repent and so on?
Is that ok?
Hey, great question. Here’s my understanding.
1. Do you best to learn the character of God, through what he’s done (sending his son to cover you) that’s a level of love that I don’t even understand and he’s done that for you. So first he loves you way more than any person. We also learn to forgive 7x70 in Matthew 18:22 - so we know the lord has an ability to forgive to extreme depths.
BUT, there is some nuance. Not because God can’t forgive but because the effects of sin
If you read Hebrews 3:8-12 ….you learn that a person of faith can actually reject the Holy Spirit to pursue sin and when you make a habit of rejecting the Holy Spirit, your heart becomes harden to The Lord. Every time I pursue sin, even after feeling that conviction, I’m not just rejecting my mind but im more so, rejecting the Spirit of God. The only reason you have conviction is because God is sending it through his Spirit and through his word.
If you continue to reject that “voice”, you place yourself in danger of tuning it all the way out.
At that point it’s only a matter of time before you reject the Holy Spirit all together and now you fall into the only unforgivable sin - blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. If you reject the spirit that brings conviction and correction - you’ll never have conviction or correction
The danger here isn’t Gods unforgiveness, it’s our departure from God, that happens often times because of the deception of sin
Does that make sense ?
Also, we should really have desire to go beyond “can I sin and go to heaven” The Lord has so much more in store for you, but how would we ever get to that level of glory if we don’t first submit ourselves to his will
Many Christian’s only focus on salvation and that’s not the will of Jesus
Salvation is just the entry point into the rest of the stuff
When you experience the higher levels of glory your taste for sin really begins to diminish
If you still CARE about Jesus that means you're alright.
There's no too deep and too dark place that Jesus cannot get you out of.
You might think that you keep sinning too much, but Jesus Christ has got waaaayyyy more forgiveness than your sins.
Repent. And try hard not to sin. We will never be sinless...
@@MatthewFayson Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is [to not believe] in Jesus Christ. To never believe, you never receive the Holy Spirit, and to be [against] is to reject that Jesus is the Christ, who is the only begotten son of God who can save all from [all things] that we cannot save ourselves from.
Believing on the Lord Jesus, will not save anyone.
It is written, the demons believe and tremble.
In (Acts 2:38);Peter said, believe and repent.
The Holy Ghost must indwell you, and you must obey the scriptures.
Even demon possessed illuminati
members profess to be Christians, but they are boldfaced liars.
It is written in (Rom.8:9) any man not having the Spirit of Christ
doesn't belong to him.
We must walk in holiness or you will be rejected by God.
IT IS WRITTEN, WITHOUT HOLINESS, NO MAN SHALL SEE GOD.
Just depends on what someone means by belief
True Belief in Christ, true confession of his lordship and belief that God raised him from the dead is what saved everyone
But sometimes people think “saying it with your mouth” = belief
Belief in christ is what causes obedience, it causes consecration, etc
So belief in him is the key to salvation but it needs to be belief in his saving grace to the point of truth not just a thing you do with your lips
@@MatthewFaysony’all love confusing people huh
Well yeah it’s about what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross
@@Diegocasto920 no, I want people to know the truth rather than loosely saying a prayer and running into a wall
But you’re more than welcome to make your non confusing UA-cam video to help those people that I’m confusing if you want
@@MatthewFayson I’m just confused if I basically did it wrong honestly
Good word💯
So you’re saying since I confessed with my that Jesus is Lord and believed in my heart that God raised him from dead that I did it wrong?
@@Diegocasto920 are you watching the video or just commenting loosely
@@Diegocasto920 this isn’t a place for our egos to clash.
To be very clear - I don’t believe that someone is “doing it wrong” when they confess that Jesus is Lord, I do believe that many people say this loosely off of a somewhat emotional experience, never realizing the truth of what they are saying.
I do believe that many people who say they are “Christian” have no care for the work of Christ. I’m not condemning them, I’m doing what I believe Paul did in scripture - he worked on his pride and did his best job to help others who were “believers”
Personally I don’t believe in the idea of “just say it and you’re good”
I believe the Holy Spirit seals you, but many who say Jesus is Lord have no relationship to the Holy Spirit…which typically displays that they weren’t truly reborn.
I said Jesus was Lord while simultaneously not caring anything about Jesus, scripture, or Holiness
This isn’t about me being perfect or working my way to heaven, the fruit of my life showed the truth of my heart
Agree you need repent and born again
The will of the Father is in John 6:40. It sats, “And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” It is not a “holy” lifestyle. Your lifestyle proves nothing. Catholics, Mormons, Hindus, Jews and atheists have changed lifestyles. But they are not saved because they have not believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is very simple. You believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, God in the flesh, that he died on the cross for your sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day. But here you are adding your filthy rags works/lifestyle to the equation. The homosexuals and drug addicts are going to enter into the kingdom before you.
lol hey man, I'll be happy to see you when that day comes - thank God for Jesus
@@MatthewFayson why then are you preaching a false gospel that shuts up the kingdom of God to people?
@@ReligiouslyIncorrect I think you’re misunderstanding what I’m saying
Or maybe I’m
Not clear and if so I’m happy to correct myself / be corrected
1. Like I mentioned there is nothing that can save a person separate from the work of Jesus Christ. And then, of course, we have to put our faith in him, confessing that he is the Lord, and that God raised him from the dead. Which has meaning behind it
2. My challenge to the Western world is genuinely a challenge of what it means to have faith and my assumption is that this is where you and I might be disagreeing.
I’ll preface this by saying I’m not of the belief that any man or woman can work themselves into the perfection of Christ you can’t do enough work to get into heaven as I mentioned before that was the work of Jesus separately, I take Romans 10 nine very seriously when it says to confess that Jesus is the Lord, and my understanding of Lord means that he becomes the authority of my life, if we look into the ancient world, those following Jesus did not simply say with their mouth that Jesus is the Messiah as some loose statement, the way that we’ve learned to do it in our culture in that world it was a known that you could physically lose your life for saying that Jesus was the Lord in public. You could lose your life for blasphemy. And still the disciples and followers of Christ in that time had a true conviction of who Jesus was which led them to a confession that resonated in their heart
In our modern world, many of us learned to say, Jesus was Lord, simply through a tradition simultaneously having zero relationship with him completely neglecting, avoiding quenching the Holy Spirit pursuing our will and desires relentlessly without any desire to even think of the will of God
What do you think this means? This is not preaching that works saves you. It’s preaching that anyone who is save because of the work of Jesus and the Holy Spirit will be in pursuit and therefore will be productive to some degree not because their production saves them, but because their salvation causes production.
I don’t want this to get confused. Every ones production is going to vary and it’s not for any man to look at another man and simply say nope you did this. Therefore you’re going to hell or you didn’t do this. You’re going to hell that is not my point , but if Jesus can look at a Pharisee and say although you called me lord you are far from me, he’s proving that lip service doesn’t work with the father
Jesus came to fulfill the consequence of the law , he didn’t come to permit us to be seekers of pleasure and seekers of the flesh
His grace doesn’t just save it empowers us to be within his will
I’d also say we should consider what got us into this boat - the disobedience of Adam and Eve
So why would Grace be a permission for disobedience - it’s not, it’s simply a sign of love for us as we fall short
We may even go through a long season of backsliding - we know Christ is still married to those who truly believe
In no way am I saying be faultless or go to hell I’m saying don’t get Grace mixed up and permit yourself to pursue what God hates as a abuse of grace

@@AUSTININCHRIST hey Austin, what’s your disagreement
This is why Sola Fide/ Faith Alone is false… You’re now slowly understanding the Apostolic Churches like the Catholic and Orthodox churches
he's not saying it's faith plus works. The bible is clear.. there is nothing you can offer God to buy favor with him. Isaiah 64:6 " our righteousnesses are as filthy rags".
Do you not know the example Jesus talks about of the 2 men that went to the temple to pray "the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me a sinner."
@@cryptfire3158 Catholics and Orthodox do not believe that we are saved by our works. We are saved by grace, through faith, working itself out through love.
@@user-bn4hr1cz1u you can say you believe it is by grace alone and by faith alone. Yet, when you ask a catholic how to get to heaven they’ll say keep the commandments. (Works). You say “how do u know if you will be in heaven?” They’ll say you can’t know until you die. But the bible says “these things are written that ye may know you have eternal life”. Just by definition it’s not eternal if you can lose it. I am certain that Catholics believe that demonstrations of sincere love and self sacrifice are always pleasing to God and maintain a relationship that makes them worthy of heaven. Included in this is the idea that you good deeds can outweigh your bad deeds.
@@cryptfire3158 Have you tried reading the Catechism to see what Catholics actually teach and believe? It's freely available on the USCCB website.
@@user-bn4hr1cz1u The KJV makes it very clear that we are not to worship idols, and declare other Gods with our faith. Mother Mary is not someone anyone should worship, or pray to. Nor to Idolize the Pope. As a matter of fact, the Pope Francis publicly declared Jesus failed on the Cross. This can even be found recorded on UA-cam.
Catholics, as with Mormons and others have a great deal to worry about their Salvation. Because they do not solely believe on the only begotten son of God, Jesus Christ & his blood [aka work].
Matthew 7:21-23 KJV
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth [the will] of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
> Jesus is talking about the Jews in this passage, because he knew they would not [repent] of their current faith for him, and believe he was the messiah that was to come to save them. This passage does not apply in anyway to Christians, because we believe solely in Jesus Christ.
Mormons, and Catholics, Jehovah witnesses, Seven Day Adventists, including Jews, Islamic, Hindu, Agnostics, Atheists, etc. should very much worry about this verse because they don't have their faith placed in him & his blood.
The bible answer:
John 6:38-40 KJV
For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the [will of him] that sent me.
And this is the [Father's will] which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.
And [this is the will of him that sent me,] that every one which seeth the Son, and [believeth on him,] may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
[To believe only in Jesus Christ, is to do the [will] of the Father. Do that, and you will never hear those words uttered from Jesus himself after death at your judgement.]
