Genuine Saving Faith - Tim Conway

- We believe in a Christ who is revealed for us in Scripture, but genuine saving faith is more than just grasping those truths intellectually. The one with true faith has a commitment to Christ and will not ultimately let go even in the hardest of trials.

I am undone. 32 years of being an unbelieving believer. It's been revealed to me I am way too similar to Simon than I could ever have imagined. Thank you Ps Tim for telling it how it is, I always dread listening to you but really appreciate the truth, even if I don't know where to go with it. Glory to God for your precious soul Tim.
(Edit: 7/22)
Believe in(to) Christ (Jn3v16), more than acknowledgement of truth, like Noah entering 'into' the ark, so we believe in (enter into) Christ. Judgement is the flood of Yahweh's righteous wrath, Jesus our ark 'believe in' holds more weight in the Greek. Abide in God's Word. Let's open our eyes brethren, follow Him.
The answer is always the same: repent and believe the Gospel.
I remember a good Paul Washer sermon that says just that; it's on IllBeHonest, too (it's called Examine Yourself): "Test yourself in light of Scripture, and IF YOU FALL SHORT OF THE TEST...repent and believe!"
Works because we're saved. Not saved because of works
exactly in fact a proper analysis of scripture would be we keep God's laws because he expects us too he loved us first so now we love him by keeping all of his laws to the best of our ability and not for our own glory but to glorify our father who is in heaven
When life is easy ... that's the most dangerous time for me. Dull, safe, friendly days, month after month, and I start to drift. Drifting to be more and more Godless. Dangerous. When persecution/tribulation comes, the choice to leave Christ is stark, and I can't. Thank you to this ministry for making me realise (the last two weeks) that I have things to do! I'd only Bible-read and prayed when I felt like it ... and the less you do it, the less you feel like it.
Thank you for this sermon Tim.
I really need my eyes to be opened to the light of the glory of Jesus Christ...
have it been revealed to you yet? are you saved?
@@miscellaneousstuff137 Since then I've been seeking God to rest on Christs perfect work and righteousness. I don't think I've come to this place of rest yet, but I see God working to draw me to Him. I need genuine faith and repentance, I need Christ.
@@misterhiuo000 so do i! i’ll pray for you. plz pray for me too.
@@miscellaneousstuff137 thank you! I´ll pray for you!
Beautiful sermon as always.
My husband left the church because he says If you say the name Jesus you are calling on Baal, that we need to say only the Hebrew name, and only the spelling that he knows is right. He has persecuted me over this. But I have only Jesus , I cannot turn my back on Him. I cannot leave the church because I know what he says is not true, but he often tells me I am in the wrong, because I am not obeying him as a wife should. It is a hard place to be but what else do I have but Christ! There is nothing else in this world.
Deanne Stalley I am so sorry to hear that you are going through this and that your husband got pulled away from Christ Jesus into the Hebrew Roots/Sacred Name cults. It is such a great tragedy that I have had to witness with my own eyes with people that I know, but I cannot imagine how difficult this is for you as a wife. Be strong in the Lord Deanne. Don’t ever turn your back on Him. The enemy is working through your husband. Somehow he allowed himself to open the door to him and allowed him to enter in. There are many ways this happens and I cannot speak on your particular situation, but I do know that satan does not enter through closed doors or windows. I am going to be praying for you! I am going to be praying for your husband as well. God bless you sister. You are right. All we have is Christ Jesus. Don’t let go of that. God is faithful and will see your through this. Grace and peace to you sister!
😌🙏✝️⚓️🕊🤍
Don't denounce Jesus for anything or anyone !
He doesn't have the holy spirit, the holy spirit will lead and guide you to all truth and the true name he'll give you is "Jesus Christ"....😊
Thank you for this and all of Pastor Tim’s messages that have been uploaded on this channel. His messages are very encouraging to those of us in whom Christ is our only hope.❤️✝️❤️
By grace in full assurance of faith , in love and hope of eternal life.
I don’t just believe in Jesus. I know Jesus. Couldn’t deny Jesus if I tried. Anymore than I could deny my right hand is attached to me.
Anyone else afraid of seeing Jesus go through the fire, start calling you by name, and all you can do is just stare at him helplessly, caught between God and the world, needing Christ, but too afraid to pass through?
this is why many christians struggle they want to let go of their worldly ideals and actions but they dont because they are trying to serve two masters in the words of Jesus our messiah:
you cannot serve two masters for you will either love one and hate the other or despise one and cling to the other
Amen. May God grant me all that I need to follow Him wherever He leads me in the blessed and holy name of Christ Jesus our Lord, amen.
Amen. Precisely so there friend.
John 7:7. Says exactly why the world does not believe in Jesus with saving faith.
indeed the world doesn't hate us directly it hates us because we speak on behalf of Jesus who condemns the world and the lusts of it
Great message
Amen. God bless pastor Tim Conway.
Matthew 9:1-8 RSV
And getting into a boat he crossed over and came to his own city. [2] And behold, they brought to him a paralytic, lying on his bed; and when Jesus saw their faith he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven." [3] And behold, some of the scribes said to themselves, "This man is blaspheming." [4] But Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, "Why do you think evil in your hearts? [5] For which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Rise and walk'? [6] But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins"-he then said to the paralytic-"Rise, take up your bed and go home." [7] And he rose and went home. [8] When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men.
Where is "saving faith" mentioned in the bible?
Hoping this is good. Still need 100% assurance. May God bless you all.
mark keenan Just know Jesus died for ALL your sins. Past, present, AND future. I think this every time the enemy puts doubt in my mind. Also surprised comments arnt disabled here lmao God bless brother 🙏🏻
he did die for our sins yet he still expects us to ask,seek, and accept forgiveness and repent so dont think for a second you shouldnt pray for forgiveness, thank God for forgiveness, and turn from your sin the best you can God offers forgiveness for future sins but we have to seek and ask for it to receive it a gift can be rejected you know
CHRISTIAN TRUTH exactly brother. Didn't mean to sound like we can sin freely. God convicts me throughout the day to ask for forgiveness of past sins, wicked thoughts etc. I'm just trying to make clear distinction these things don't save you, but are fruits of a repentant heart willing to serve your father.
CHRISTIAN TRUTH through the hills and the valleys
The fearful will not enter his kingdom. I do not fear being killed or that but i struggle to share the Gospel. I give out tracts and leave em in places but im struggling with talking to people. So many issues and its a battle but the war has been won. Free from addiction and depression all by his grace but the fear of him saying depart is terrifying. im not bold as a lion as we are mentto be but i admit im better than i was a year ago. If anyone knows anyone from Scotland thats a Saint let me know as im isolated and dont have many Christian Friends. when you speak the truth many who go to these church buildings will either hate you or avoid you even in your time of need.
What do I do if I'm one of the ones who have no root, what do I do if I can't believe? Is it all hopeless for me?
Jesus said all who come to Him, won't be turned away, I reccomend you look more into tim conways content, particularly his two part series on Mathew and john, where he goes into great detail on salvation and belief in Jesus. Tim has some great resources on how to be saved. If you just look up "tim conway how to be saved" you should find it. Also a great video is paul washer dont expect a perfect repentance" just type that into the search bar and it should come up! Hope this helps
eis pistos eis to onoma believe what? believe one with knowledge of Christ
Wrong, the bible clearly says in acts 8:13 Simon believed. The narrator of the bible tells us that Simon was saved. End of story. Yet he still needed to repent from his sin, not to be saved but so God wouldn't destroy his life. Christians can still live a life of sin and heres a clear example of that. When we get saved its by believing only. The next step is to obey or God will discipline his children. Tim Conway is nothing but a conman. Galatians 1:8 be acursed with your works gospel!!!!!
Jesse Scranton The truly sad thing is, is that you don’t really know or understand the gospel. The fact that you don’t comprehend the scriptures that explicitly teach and tell you that saving faith unto salvation, “conversion”, being “born again” is not a “mental acknowledgment” of “facts”. Do you even study scripture???
That verse says Simon" believed"
It definitely did not say he was saved and it goes on to show that he tried to offer the apostle's money for the Holy Spirit when he saw the apostle's laying hands on the sick! And the apostle tells him Repent of your wickedness and go on their way. Even the devil believes the truth ...it doesn't mean he saved
@@laurapug5389 the Bible says whosoever believes has everlasting life. The narrator of the Bible tells us Simon believed. You are misunderstanding the scripture. And you are also misquoting James 2 that the devil believes the truth. It says that the devils believe there is one God. The gospel is not to believe there is one god. The gospel is to believe the death burial and resurrection. The devil does not trust in Jesus for salvation.
@@talyahthekingsdaughter37 it’s really sad to see how many fools like your comment. And your comment shows you listen too much to John MacArthur the false teacher
The Bible:
Acts 8:13 KJV
[13] Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.
Christians: Simon didn’t believe properly.....
It’s unbelievable the foolishness of what you people believe and you people have the audacity to ask wether or not I study the bible
Get real.
There is no eternal torturing hell. Stop terrorizing those who are coming to the cross.
You make this statement but give zero verses to back it up. Those who come to the Cross are coming to a Cross in which Romans 3:25 says Christ was a propitiation, that is, a wrath removing sacrifice for them. That is terrorizing in itself! There was wrath and anger from God that Christ had to bear?!?! Why?!?! Because God is so Holy, and we are not, and JUST punishment must happen. Either us in hell for eternity, or Christ bearing our punishment in our place. Praise be to God for the Cross and Christ shedding His blood so that we don't have to perish.. I would encourage you to watch this study on hell to understand it as taught from the Bible: ua-cam.com/video/73PQLbfWOhg/v-deo.html
