“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 NIV Remembering the mercy of our Lord. Thank You Jesus.
My problem with their song is calling Jesus friend of sinners. This implies that Jesus is ok with our sins. He's not! So I don't know if they just didn't think about it before putting it there. They could have used a more accurate term. Jesus is our Lord and King and our Savior. He is our shepherd! He is the only way to God! I just wish people would put in stuff about repentance. Not just sound like Jesus is ok with the sin of being gay for instance.
It's taken from the Word of God *Luke 7:31-35* Jesus went on to say, “To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other: “‘We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not cry.’ For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, *a friend of tax collectors and sinners* .’ But wisdom is proved right by all her children.” *Matthew 11:16-19* “To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: “‘We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, *a friend of tax collectors and sinners* .’ But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.” Jesus was paraphrasing the Pharisees as recounted in Matthew 9:10-13 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” The Pharisees labeled Jesus a friend of sinners, which He did not dispute. You see, at just the right time, when we were *still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly.* Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: *While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.*
A group at my college sang this song at a thanksgiving event. As I listened to to them sing "Jesus friend of sinners" I said to myself that is so true. Through the rest of the week the lyrics, "I was the lost cause I was the outcast" kept going through my head I realized that I had put a teenage girl in my church in that "lost cause" category. I was self righteous and throwing stones. Jesus never gave up on me and He hasn't given up on her either. It was wrong of me to do so. Thank you for your ministry!!!!!!
I am a prayer warrior it's all by faith that we get anything from god you. We have to be strong in god. Pray for violet silvey and her daughter angel Avery Austin Alex for God to give them strength and courage
I have so much more appropriation for Jesus since going through a lot in the last few years. We wine about our problems but he went through as bad as it gets for us. That's who we need to teach as strength.
I am crying. uncontrollably every time I hear this song. I've gone through so many hardships in life, it's sometimes hard to believe God looks past beyond our sins, our brokenness, and our mistakes. We don't deserve Gods love and yet, He offers His Son, Jesus to us all.
I'm an addict in recovery the song mean so much to me, you died for sinners just like me a grateful leper at your feet so powerful I love casting crowns
Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided Oh Jesus, friend of sinners Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers Let our hearts be led by mercy Help us reach with open hearts and open doors Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours Yeah Jesus, friend of sinners, the one who's writing in the sand Make the righteous turn away and the stones fall from their hands Help us to remember we are all the least of thieves Let the memory of Your mercy bring Your people to their knees No one knows what we're for only against when we judge the wounded What if we put down our signs crossed over the lines and loved like You did Oh Jesus, friend of sinners Open our eyes to world at the end of our pointing fingers Let our hearts be led by mercy Help us reach with open hearts and open doors Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours You love every lost cause; you reach for the outcast For the leper and the lame; they're the reason that You came Lord I was that lost cause and I was the outcast But you died for sinners just like me, a grateful leper at Your feet 'Cause You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever Oh Jesus, friend of sinners Open our eyes to world at the end of our pointing fingers Let our hearts be led by mercy Help us reach with open hearts and open doors Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks Yours And I was the lost 'cause and I was the outcast Yeah You died for sinners just like me, a grateful leper at Your feet

Sometimes I think why are we standing here? Why aren't we Praising GOD? Number 1, we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. Number 2 we have a wonderful life God gave us. I wonder why aren't we thanking him? So by singing all the songs these wonderful people made, we are thanking him. This is not the only thing, we pray, and Talk to him. I love my God and I love my life. The way God made me is just enough. He is the way.
my Mom and I absolutely love this song! Summer 1012 I was victim of exactly what this song is talking about. I was told I was going to hell for what I was wearing(which was modest btw) and that I was a disgrace to the church. After that service we were listening to the radio and this song came on. We were in tears. I am on a journey to becoming more like Jesus. We have all fallen short, no one is better than anyone else except Jesus Christ and yet He humbled Himself to die for us. That's love.
jesus-I have never met you but I love you more than life itself.I love you for what you did on the cross.How can I love someone I never met??I just feel it and I know its real.You are my savior!!
God loves everyone and is patient for us to repent of our sims, He hates the sin we do it separates us from him but He shown His love for us (sinners) in that while we were in our sun He died for us.
I'm not here to fight with anyone. I'm just here to worship my God! This was the song that played when I accepted Christ fully as my Savior. His love is incredible! I have seen His miracles... it's indescribable.
This is the perfect song! This is the Gospel of Jesus Christ, this IS HIS message! It brings me to tears as I cry out for HIS forgiveness so I can have a clean heart so that I can help others to come to His love--not by judgement but by His loving forgiveness. Praise His name.
Do you tell people they are sinners? That's why Jesus came. Jesus is not a friend of those that think they're ok without his help. He came for those that know they are a wretch (not a good person, could never get right by works) and He came to take they're sin upon his body, to save them from Hell. And without Him they are assuredly to continue their path of sin all the way their, to eternally burn. Hell is a forever place. There is no way back. Frightening but real. Playtime is over. If COVID 19 wasn't enough to frighten with death knocking for anyone, any age, then that person might be the list that are perishing anyway.
I have only in the last 5 years started listening to Christian rock. These Casting Crowns say it like it is!!! I have learned to take that pointing finger i got and turn it right back around at myself. If you're busy analyzing your own behavior, you won't be judging others so much.
Oh JESUS, friend of sinners Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers Let our hearts be led by mercy Help us reach with open hearts and open doors Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours...Wow I'm in awe...
This songs continue to reveal how great God's grace is..but its a choice that we ourselves have to make for ourselves or for God.. I struggle daily with addiction which lead me to continue living my past..which has effect my relationship with my wife kids families myself and especially with God..struggling to turn back to God and follow Jesus need prayers please..God bless you all thank you..
Jesus I have opened my heart to you & accepted you in my heart, please forgive my sin, I've been baptized & know you shed your blood for my sin & that I can never be sinless but I will try to be the best Christian I can be & spread your word & love. ❤️
Love this song thank you God for having mercy over my mind and soul and body. I overdosed took me nearly 2 years to recover and now I’m here I need to do better no drugs anymore no hare and or anger and suicidal dreams but I’m dealing with a separate addiction
So grateful for Jesus it humbles me and how he died for our sins how he was sacrificed for all our sins..He loves us all a King above all kings my true love and friend forever.We love you and you stand at the right hand of our God. We are your servants and you call us to do your work.
After decades of abuse that I stuffed down I had a breakdown at 50. Been climbing out of a horrible place since then. While I’ve always had faith it’s been shaken during these horrible years. This band always goes straight to my heart. Praying they can help me back
The Body of Christ needs this message now more than ever. 2 Cor 5: All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, *not counting people’s sins against them.* And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
Unfortunately. We all fall short of God. But fortunately Jesus saved our sinner ways by his ultimate sacrifice. No one is perfect. No one at all .. We live in a fallen world.
I'm non-religious. However I really love this song and this band. Really moving lyrics and you can feel the love within them all for mankind and God. Much love
Ryan Wheeler there's a reason you like this, it is truth and the truth will set you free!!! God bless you and I hope and pray that the Lord protect you and show you the truth!!! God is calling to us!!! He loves us!!!!
Ryan Wheeler, im not religious either. It's about a relationship with Jesus! Not about just religion. Jesus died for all so we could avoid hell. Matthew 25:41. Come home! His arms are open always. Everybody a let you down. He wont! He opens doors that cant be shut! Revelation chapter 3.
I hope you find Jesus love one day. My life was changed many years ago. All the questions I had in my life were finally answered and I have found the one who loves me unconditionally. I truly pray that you will too Ryan. Your life will finally have meaning!!!
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. the word religious has no place with an individuals relationship with the Lord. You are the temple !
You are free to choose and believe what you want. I'm not going to hate you or condemn you. I leave that to God, in which I believe. May peace be between us.
JESUS THANK YOU FOR I WAS THAT LOST CAUSE AND I WAS THE OUTCAST, AND YOU HAD MERCY ON ME AND YOU DIED FOR SINNERS JUST LIKE ME! LORD JESUS, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
I love this song it's a reminder to all Christians not to judge others don't condemned people in the name of Lord let him be the judge because Jesus is friend of sinners...
Patrick. 1). The Bible specifically states that water isn't a direct requirement to be saved. If that were the case, those who weren't baptized or didn't have the chance to be baptized but accepted Jesus into their hearts wouldn't be saved. It wouldn't make sense. Baptism by water is to finally put the cap on one's acceptance of Jesus, and (imo) is for those beyond the veil, to declare in the spiritual world as well as the physical that "this is a servant of the Most High". 2). We are to judge other Christians, however care must be taken how we judge as well. 3). There are specific situations, where a Christian should judge another Christian with force and with anger. But take note that this "anger" is more frustration, as in "anger of love". As in you are grieved by what you see. See the specific times Jesus was angry in the Bible, take a look at His "anger". Use that as the model. 4). The familiar phrase, judge not that you may be judged, even though it's a cliche, comes to mind. It is mentioned in several places in the Bible, including by Jesus Himself, that because your Heavenly Father forgave you, you should turn around and forgive others. a). When presented with a woman caught in adultery by the Pharisees, Jesus said "let he without sin throw the first stone". b). It is also illustrated in the parable about the master who forgave the debt of his subordinate, only to have the subordinate go ahead and collect debt from people who owed him. 5). Be careful not to fall into the enemy's trap. If you haven't noticed, common perceptions of Christians are that we are judgmental, vindictive people. This does NOT help our cause. 6). Therefore, if you have discernment, discern through the Spirit. I am not saying to condone the sinful acts of those who proclaim to be Christian and be lukewarm. I am saying to use discernment in HOW you judge, lest the ultimate Judge turns his wrath on you. 7). "We cut down people in Your name, but the sword was never ours to swing".
There is a friend that sticks closer than a brother and that is Jesus. This songs says Jesus let what breaks your heart break ours. Help us Oh Lord with mercy and grace to continue to press forward toward the mark and though the tide may rise, help us to remember that you have caused your children to walk on water.
Lord help us be less judgemental and give us the strength to judge righteousness which means that we also have to be righteous before You Father, give us all strength to obey You Father. In Jesus Almighty name Amen!!!!
I feel this song way down in my soul, break our hearts for what breaks yours. For loving me when I'm undeserving for back sliding & fall away from church & my Bible. I truly feel my best & your love when I regularly attend church. I must get back in your house & prayer. God is good & loves us even when we fail & continue to sin.
I just love Casting Crowns! Gods words are so powerful yet full of so much love! Thank you Jesus for the wake up call! Thank you Casting Crowns for being faithful servants! Beautiful music!
I was a sinners 3 years ago but I ask for the lord jesus to for give me of my sins and I ask him to come in to my heart and ask him to for give me of my sins and he did so now I am be liver in Christ and the day that I died I know we're I will be amen glory to God amen tell me if u like this
Jesus is the best friend a sinner could have, Accept His love and salvation the rest will take care of itself. He loves the sinner, forgives the sin,,, Smile because He first loved you,
Brings me to tears! I could listen to this every day! He's our friend, our best bud and he doesn't care how different we are! We're all sinners and to think someone sent there self in the flesh to die to suffer just for our lives! God bless u casting crowns!
My husband used to be very harsh in what God and the Bible causes sin, but this song from Casting Crowns, which are one of his favorites changed him dramatically, he even begged God to forgive his harshness towards others!
BEAUTIFUL GOD!!!! Yes YOU ARE FRIEND OF SINNERS.. YOU ARE MY FRIEND!!!!!!! Ohhh!! JESUS!!! YOU ARE GOOD!!!!TE AMO SEÑOR!! SANTO ERES....PARA SIEMPRE ES TU MISERICORDIA!!!!! 💕💕💕❤️❤️
The church today needs to follow the advice of this song. Love first. Stop judging. I'm not saying disregard the Bible, I absolutely believe that homosexuality, abortion, and the like are wrong. However, we as Christians shouldn't treat anyone differently because of what they do. We need to love everyone.
I beg to differ. We are all sinners. Being saved means we are washed in the blood of salvation and have been given mercy by God. Yet that doesn't mean that we no longer sin. Only that we are forgiven of those sins. Jesus promised us He would take our place and our punishment. He didn't say we'd be perfect, like Him.
Marybeth Max We are born sinners and hence we sin the fact that we did some noble/ righteous act couldnt take the sinner tag away, but now when we are born again, we are born righteous, no matter what our acts are, we are still the righteousness of GOD. Righteousness is not earned it is a GIFT!!! 1 John 4:17 AS HE IS SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. So He made as whole and perfect, lets us throw our old nature and be part of the new, true and divine nature of CHRIST. GOD bless.
Pt 2. we are much bigger than any of us will ever conceive in this life time. He created us in his image. And if God is all knowing, Timeless and spaceless then we must be pretty special to him. because of that. you also have to remember the delicate Universe we live in.. We would even be here if it was just a "speck" different than it is RIGHT now! If any variance in anything existing we wouldn't be here.
Without Him, I have no idea what would become of my life. His love and protection are something money cannot buy.
Good Thing God Will Always Be With You So No Need To Worry About That
amen
Amen brother 🙏🙌👏
Amen

It's taken from the Word of God
*Luke 7:31-35*
Jesus went on to say, “To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like? They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to each other:
“‘We played the pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not cry.’
For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, *a friend of tax collectors and sinners* .’ But wisdom is proved right by all her children.”
*Matthew 11:16-19*

I love this verse.
What could we do without Jesus or Saviour our healer our soon coming king
Anyone who's watching this I wish you a life full of happiness and joy . God bless you all ♥️
Jesus is Lord.
Yes Lord I’m guilty. Help me to have clean heart and love like you do Jesus.
Smiles, hi Henrietta 🌺😊

Jesus was friends with at least 12 sinners who he called to tell the world of him and his mission. He doesn't hate sinners. He hates sin.
That's right 👍 amen

I'm an addict in recovery the song mean so much to me, you died for sinners just like me a grateful leper at your feet so powerful I love casting crowns
Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away
We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing
Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see
The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours
Yeah
Jesus, friend of sinners, the one who's writing in the sand
Make the righteous turn away and the stones fall from their hands
Help us to remember we are all the least of thieves
Let the memory of Your mercy bring Your people to their knees
No one knows what we're for only against when we judge the wounded
What if we put down our signs crossed over the lines and loved like You did
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours
You love every lost cause; you reach for the outcast
For the leper and the lame; they're the reason that You came
Lord I was that lost cause and I was the outcast
But you died for sinners just like me, a grateful leper at Your feet
'Cause You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever
You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever
You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever
You are good, You are good and Your love endures forever
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks Yours
And I was the lost 'cause and I was the outcast
Yeah
You died for sinners just like me, a grateful leper at Your feet
Thank you so much for the Lyrics 👏! God may bless you and yours abundantly! 🙏

This song is beautiful, I think we as Christians should try to be more like Him each day. I got saved to this song:)
This is the task for us all today. Love one another as Christ has loved us. Let's show the world what revival looks like by our love.
Sometimes I think why are we standing here? Why aren't we Praising GOD? Number 1, we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him. Number 2 we have a wonderful life God gave us. I wonder why aren't we thanking him? So by singing all the songs these wonderful people made, we are thanking him. This is not the only thing, we pray, and Talk to him. I love my God and I love my life. The way God made me is just enough. He is the way.
It's true we are sinners and we don't deserve God's love but he gives it to us anyway
Yes he is
A Christian can still stay true to the convictions while showing love to others
my Mom and I absolutely love this song! Summer 1012 I was victim of exactly what this song is talking about. I was told I was going to hell for what I was wearing(which was modest btw) and that I was a disgrace to the church. After that service we were listening to the radio and this song came on.

Preach sis!
Amen! It's now 2024, I will pray for you dear sister!!! Hugs, Jesus loves you so much!! 💕🌿✝️
This song touches my heart in many different ways, I love you Jesus...
jesus-I have never met you but I love you more than life itself.I love you for what you did on the cross.How can I love someone I never met??I just feel it and I know its real.You are my savior!!

Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours...Wow I'm in awe...
I know Father God and Jesus I am not scared or ashamed to know and say to the world I know them and love God And Jesus
"I'm as desperate for you now as I was back then; if I ever should forget, remind me once again"
He’s coming back. Let’s throw off all sin. Search your heart, forgive everyone. And be Holy as he is Holy.
Always breaks me down. We're all guilty of this, but He loves us still.
This songs continue to reveal how great God's grace is..but its a choice that we ourselves have to make for ourselves or for God.. I struggle daily with addiction which lead me to continue living my past..which has effect my relationship with my wife kids families myself and especially with God..struggling to turn back to God and follow Jesus need prayers please..God bless you all thank you..
Thank you Jesus my Savior for your continued love of me despite being a sinner & undeserving of your love.
Jesus I have opened my heart to you & accepted you in my heart, please forgive my sin, I've been baptized & know you shed your blood for my sin & that I can never be sinless but I will try to be the best Christian I can be & spread your word & love. ❤️
You have saved my life thank you from Colorado
Gods name may be great among the nations.
If God is for me, then who’s against me
Jesus is as a friend, HE IS LORD, He is I Am That I Am, He is Savior and HE IS LORD.
Love this song thank you God for having mercy over my mind and soul and body. I overdosed took me nearly 2 years to recover and now I’m here I need to do better no drugs anymore no hare and or anger and suicidal dreams but I’m dealing with a separate addiction
I am a sinner and Jesus is my friend nothing else matters
This song got my brother's attention for sure!!! 😀
Yes Lord! I am your enemy but you came for sinners just like me and now we are friends. Glory to your name
So grateful for Jesus it humbles me and how he died for our sins how he was sacrificed for all our sins..He loves us all a King above all kings my true love and friend forever.We love you and you stand at the right hand of our God. We are your servants and you call us to do your work.
Me love Casting Crowns as a Christian music group!
The woman who sings with the lead singer has a magnificent voice. This group is just great!
After decades of abuse that I stuffed down I had a breakdown at 50. Been climbing out of a horrible place since then. While I’ve always had faith it’s been shaken during these horrible years. This band always goes straight to my heart. Praying they can help me back
Hi, trust you have had your faith back now? Jesus is still here, loving on you and waiting to help you. Do reach out if you need to talk.
Thank you Jesus. Break my heart for what breaks yours. You continue to shower your love on me even when I'm undeserving.
The Body of Christ needs this message now more than ever. 2 Cor 5: All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, *not counting people’s sins against them.* And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
Smiles, hi Karen 🌺
Unfortunately. We all fall short of God. But fortunately Jesus saved our sinner ways by his ultimate sacrifice. No one is perfect. No one at all .. We live in a fallen world.
Yes love you Jesus god good morning love Jesus my friend be with him one day
Smiles, hi there 🌺😊
I love this song. It gives one of the most important and most powerful messages of the Bible.
I'm non-religious. However I really love this song and this band. Really moving lyrics and you can feel the love within them all for mankind and God. Much love
Ryan Wheeler there's a reason you like this, it is truth and the truth will set you free!!! God bless you and I hope and pray that the Lord protect you and show you the truth!!! God is calling to us!!! He loves us!!!!
Come in to the house of God today! Your sins are paid for in full!
Ryan Wheeler, im not religious either. It's about a relationship with Jesus! Not about just religion. Jesus died for all so we could avoid hell. Matthew 25:41. Come home! His arms are open always. Everybody a let you down. He wont! He opens doors that cant be shut! Revelation chapter 3.
I hope you find Jesus love one day. My life was changed many years ago. All the questions I had in my life were finally answered and I have found the one who loves me unconditionally. I truly pray that you will too Ryan. Your life will finally have meaning!!!
1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.
the word religious has no place with an individuals relationship with the Lord. You are the temple !
You are free to choose and believe what you want. I'm not going to hate you or condemn you. I leave that to God, in which I believe. May peace be between us.
Indeed Jesus is a friend of sinners!
JESUS, FRIEND OF SINNERS, BREAK OUR HEARTS FOR WHAT BREAKS YOURS! My prayer for myself & other CHRISTIANS! LET US OPEN OUR HEARTS & ARMS TO OTHERS!
I LOVE YOU Jesus Christ forever Amen
Thank you Lord for being so merciful to me; such a beautiful reminder of who he is. 🙏🏽💙☦️
Amen! 🧔🏻♀️✝️🙏❤️
JESUS THANK YOU FOR I WAS THAT LOST CAUSE AND I WAS THE OUTCAST, AND YOU HAD MERCY ON ME AND YOU DIED FOR SINNERS JUST LIKE ME! LORD JESUS, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!
It is also sang on hosanna by hillsong "break our hearts for what breaks yours,everything i am for your kingdoms cause"
Jesus A Friend of yours & 👩🏽ine if you give your life 2️⃣him 🙌🏾
I love this song it's a reminder to all Christians not to judge others don't condemned people in the name of Lord let him be the judge because Jesus is friend of sinners...
stanley seide awesome!
Patrick. 1). The Bible specifically states that water isn't a direct requirement to be saved. If that were the case, those who weren't baptized or didn't have the chance to be baptized but accepted Jesus into their hearts wouldn't be saved. It wouldn't make sense.
Baptism by water is to finally put the cap on one's acceptance of Jesus, and (imo) is for those beyond the veil, to declare in the spiritual world as well as the physical that "this is a servant of the Most High".
2). We are to judge other Christians, however care must be taken how we judge as well.
3). There are specific situations, where a Christian should judge another Christian with force and with anger. But take note that this "anger" is more frustration, as in "anger of love". As in you are grieved by what you see. See the specific times Jesus was angry in the Bible, take a look at His "anger". Use that as the model.
4). The familiar phrase, judge not that you may be judged, even though it's a cliche, comes to mind. It is mentioned in several places in the Bible, including by Jesus Himself, that because your Heavenly Father forgave you, you should turn around and forgive others.
a). When presented with a woman caught in adultery by the Pharisees, Jesus said "let he without sin throw the first stone".
b). It is also illustrated in the parable about the master who forgave the debt of his subordinate, only to have the subordinate go ahead and collect debt from people who owed him.
5). Be careful not to fall into the enemy's trap. If you haven't noticed, common perceptions of Christians are that we are judgmental, vindictive people. This does NOT help our cause.
6). Therefore, if you have discernment, discern through the Spirit. I am not saying to condone the sinful acts of those who proclaim to be Christian and be lukewarm. I am saying to use discernment in HOW you judge, lest the ultimate Judge turns his wrath on you.
7). "We cut down people in Your name, but the sword was never ours to swing".
Amen to this
stanley seide Amen xo
We shouldn’t condemn or judge them but help them see their plate. Help them see that they need to repent and turn from their sin in order to be saved.
Lord I want to serve you forever, help me and strengthen me oh Lord
You must believe in John 3:16 and hold on to His every Promise.
There is a friend that sticks closer than a brother and that is Jesus. This songs says Jesus let what breaks your heart break ours. Help us Oh Lord with mercy and grace to continue to press forward toward the mark and though the tide may rise, help us to remember that you have caused your children to walk on water.
I feel sad for all the people who die and all the people that will go to hell... I wish that they all had served Jesus Christ...
Lord help us be less judgemental and give us the strength to judge righteousness which means that we also have to be righteous before You Father, give us all strength to obey You Father. In Jesus Almighty name Amen!!!!
Thank you Lord for your mercy. I am and always be a sinner. You are good and loving. Glory and honor to You Jesus.
GOD BLESS U ALL GOING THROUGH IT ALL AND TOUGH TIMES
I feel this song way down in my soul, break our hearts for what breaks yours. For loving me when I'm undeserving for back sliding & fall away from church & my Bible. I truly feel my best & your love when I regularly attend church. I must get back in your house & prayer. God is good & loves us even when we fail & continue to sin.
Jesus is my bestfriend in the whole world. Am a sinner. Plz protect me with ur love. I know ur with me in this battle. We already won
I just love Casting Crowns! Gods words are so powerful yet full of so much love! Thank you Jesus for the wake up call! Thank you Casting Crowns for being faithful servants! Beautiful music!
Jesus! Tu és, há força da minha vida!!! Te amo Jesus!!! Linda música...

I dedicate it to those who judge the worded ones
Jesus wants us to grow past double mindedness. Thats a babe thing we go through. Even when we mature, we are but babes.
I was a sinners 3 years ago but I ask for the lord jesus to for give me of my sins and I ask him to come in to my heart and ask him to for give me of my sins and he did so now I am be liver in Christ and the day that I died I know we're I will be amen glory to God amen tell me if u like this
Jesus is the best friend a sinner could have, Accept His love and salvation the rest will take care of itself. He loves the sinner, forgives the sin,,, Smile because He first loved you,
Thank you Casting Crowns for your amazing songs! You all are truly anointed by Christ through your songs! Thank you for reminding me of God's truth.
Hebrews 7:25 (NIV) "Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them."
me and my mom and family are christians we love this song especially my mom
AM ONE OF THEM PLEASE LORD LOVE ME AS I AM!!!!!!
Brings me to tears! I could listen to this every day! He's our friend, our best bud and he doesn't care how different we are! We're all sinners and to think someone sent there self in the flesh to die to suffer just for our lives! God bless u casting crowns!
John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
My husband used to be very harsh in what God and the Bible causes sin, but this song from Casting Crowns, which are one of his favorites changed him dramatically, he even begged God to forgive his harshness towards others!
Praise Jesus!
Jesus is love, and only can sabe him to
you.
Father your people have been faithful pour your blessing on them
I am trying everyday to get closer to jesus...thank you Casting Crowns for this song! Praise HIM !

Sharing for my sister Geraldine Crowell And My Brother Rudy Lee Midkiff. We are all sinners and come short of The Glory of God.
What an amazing song. This is a great example of how music can stir the spirit to hear God's voice
awesome!!!!!!!!! jesus is alive and i think He is pleased with this video!!!!!!!!!
Can u imagine we were focused and moved to due what broke Jesus Christ heart. That be smart
The church today needs to follow the advice of this song. Love first. Stop judging. I'm not saying disregard the Bible, I absolutely believe that homosexuality, abortion, and the like are wrong. However, we as Christians shouldn't treat anyone differently because of what they do. We need to love everyone.
TheUSAF2017 Love the sinner without loving the sin. And we are ALL sinners, regardless of our situations and circumstances.
Marybeth Max Exactly
Marybeth Max if you are saved by the Blood of Jesus, you are no longer a "sinner"
I beg to differ. We are all sinners. Being saved means we are washed in the blood of salvation and have been given mercy by God. Yet that doesn't mean that we no longer sin. Only that we are forgiven of those sins. Jesus promised us He would take our place and our punishment. He didn't say we'd be perfect, like Him.
Marybeth Max We are born sinners and hence we sin the fact that we did some noble/ righteous act couldnt take the sinner tag away, but now when we are born again, we are born righteous, no matter what our acts are, we are still the righteousness of GOD. Righteousness is not earned it is a GIFT!!! 1 John 4:17 AS HE IS SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD. So He made as whole and perfect, lets us throw our old nature and be part of the new, true and divine nature of CHRIST. GOD bless.
JesusChrist HE is my friend even though I am a sinner
THANK YOU JESUS FOR YOUR ENDLESS LOVE FOR ME....YOU ARE MY KING AND SAVIOR.....
A grateful leper at your feet. Thank you, Lord!
Pt 2. we are much bigger than any of us will ever conceive in this life time. He created us in his image. And if God is all knowing, Timeless and spaceless then we must be pretty special to him. because of that. you also have to remember the delicate Universe we live in.. We would even be here if it was just a "speck" different than it is RIGHT now! If any variance in anything existing we wouldn't be here.
