Because he is sovereign.we celebrate him in Christ Jesus.the sovereign God is good and has used his goodness in our favour.therefore we celebrate life in the teachings of Christ discipled in holyspirit God from now onwards all the way to eternity.amen thank you our Immanuel savior lord Jesus Christ
I'm saved by grace He knew me before I was born Whew ! I do love the Lord and sing praises to Him for His forgiveness I was such a sinner and feel I am such a nothing at times .
NOT NOTHING! Please get this! I was in a class with RC Sproul when he said this and my mind exploded. YOU... are so important to God, that He sends people to hell so that you can see what you have been saved from! Without hell... there is no need for grace. He has given you eternal life, life knowing Him, in heaven... because you... did nothing! But for his own good pleasure. Why does He ALLOW YOU TO UNDERSTAND (and know Him) but not NOT allow others to understand (and not know him)? Because GOD CHOSE YOU TO UNDERSTAND. He chose you to know him! He chose you to have eternal life! For HIS reasons. Nothing a human does can get us into heaven. Not even saying the prayer. For that is a “work”. (It makes man the determinator of his soul. It makes man more powerful than God.) NO. God gives eternal life as a gift! He gives the gift to whom He wants to. Period. Who are we to say “not fair”. Fair is justice. Fair is sending everyone to hell. Man either gets justice... or grace. You are THAT important to Him! YOU ARE IMPORTANT TO GOD! He “allows” you to understand the gospel. He prevents others from understanding it.
@@paintwave940... Of course!! "Wanting" is a sign God is at work! God gives FAITH. It is a gift. We don't "choose" to have faith. It is given to whom He wants to give it to based on His pleasure, not anything that person has done or will do. When a person hears or reads that "Christ took the punishment from God that they deserve"... and WANTS the gift of eternal life... they probably were given it!
@@biblicalgodisonlytruegod How can a person tell if their desire is real though? What if somebody reads the Gospels but is so hardened by sin they feel nothing. They don't desire God. They don't have faith. They can't repent. But they know they need to. They know they need faith. And they know they desperately need Jesus. But they don't want him yet? Can that person ask God to change their will/heart so that they are no longer hostile to him? Can they ask God for faith, for repentance? For a broken spirit and contrite heart?
To everyone reading this Jesus loves you so much that He died for you!! I pray you surrender to Him you’re so loved!!! If you want to know Jesus (feel like God is showing you this for a reason and your feel convicted to pray this and know Him) pray this prayer or just cry out the the Lord admit you’re a sinner who needs a Savior! Tell Him you want to know Him ! Just pray : dear God i ask that you would come into my heart forgive me of my sins and make me a NEW creation. I want to know you, please show yourself to me” i pray you turn from your sin and seek the Lord (reading the Bible, devotions, fasting, prayer, etc.) can’t wait to be in Heaven!!💖💖 k
Such a very good reminder from you and the apostle Paul. We think of the monergistic work of God for our salvation. But that is no reason for passivity in the Christian Life which is synergistic.
Dear brothers and sisters i greet you in our Lord Jesus Christ Five years ago, I began to engage in faith. I started here in Croatia in the catholic church to visit mass and to read The Holy Scriptures. Very early on, I noticed that what is taught and practiced in the catholic church contradicts the Holy Scriptures and what Jesus taught us. In addition, some things in the Holy Bible were unclear to me and raised additional questions and doubts, such as: - If our God is the God of love and justice, why are we punished for the sins of Adam? Doesn't that contradict the principles of love and justice? An earthly father who is full of faults and weaknesses would not do such a thing, then how can we think such a thing about our Perfect Father? - How can a loving father throw his child forever in the hell? That also contradicts these principles. And besides, in 1 Timothy 2; 3 + 4: "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." So, if this were really so, that in spite of His will, people will be brought forever to hell and not saved, this would mean that He can not enforce His will and thus He is not the omnipotent God, if we follow these doctrines believe. - Why does it say in some passages that Jesus is the Son of God, in others the Son of Man and in others that He and God are one? Although I kept going to the Catholic Mass, at home I no longer practiced the prayers of the catholic church, but started talking like a child to my Father (Matthew 6: 7 + 8 ). After a short while, I got the answer to everything. He guided me through a friend of my mother to the revelations of Bertha Dudde. Now I know that the Bible does not contradict itself. God can not contradict himself. The truth is not in the word, in the letter, but in the understanding, in the interpretation of it. Now I know that Jesus is God and our Father in heaven, and I understand all the processes and contexts, and through this I have come to know that He is the perfect Love and not the strict, punitive God. As he promised us in John 14; 21: "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. " 16; 12 + 13: "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. " 16; 25: "These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. " In the revelations of Bertha Dudde, His promise was fulfilled, just as every other of His promises was and will be fulfilled, for He never quits (Titus 1: 2) because His word is truth (John 17; 17) and all that will happen is what He said has (Hebrews 10; 23, Ezekiel 12; 25:28, etc.) My loved brothers and sisters, I ask you not to blindly believe me, but as written in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verses 19-21: " Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. " Before you begin to look, go into prayer and ask our Father Jesus Christ for enlightenment to put you in your heart, whether that's really His word or not. Do not read with your mind or knowledge, but with your heart, for knowledge (knowledge, understanding) puffeth up, love (heart) edifieth (1 Corinthians 8: 1), for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life (2 Corinthians 3: 6). th-cam.com/video/RFK2kg6Qs0M/w-d-xo.html My dear brothers and sisters, the situation in Christianity is alarming, frightening and very sad and for that very reason the end is near, the time is up. Only in a very small part are the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5; 22) recognizable, and thus only a very few truly belong to Christ, for only those who enjoy the fruits and grow in them are of his (Romans 8: 9). "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…" Hosea 4; 6 I wish you a blessed day my beloved brothers and sisters, May the Love of our Lord Jesus Christ shine through your heart and lead you into the truth. I would urge you to listen to the other sermons of this seminar as well. This seminar is of unimaginable value and has changed my life and it can also change your life. th-cam.com/video/StOq3PPfulg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/aCvZyZhsnzI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/BZLWyjFSuPg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Yec-dl36ZS0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/q3QrMWncxzs/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/3Q4QWfG1p5c/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/w6jNnmtjhWk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Dr81F-2zhvQ/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/9m3Whmhhl_Q/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/kfhqyuC0Qoo/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/Rx-vU2wijEk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/cTwdeqaoPOg/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/albA_q9ASQ4/w-d-xo.html
Tomislav Martic Hi Tom. How will anyone ever know that they have achieved the power of loving their fellow man? The words are easy to say, but to actually know that you’ve accomplished such a lofty endeavor cannot be known. Seems to me that one would first have to know just how much they love themselves. Then, they would have to understand the dynamic of a gods love as he supposedly reveals it to us....assuming we’ve heard correctly. (That is going to be a problem.). Finally, we would have to fully understand how to effectively transfer that love to others in a way that allows them to fully know our “loving” intent and subsequent identity which I doubt is possible due to our suspicious natures. Oh....and all of this is supposed to be for the approval and acceptance of god...which would make all of it a selfish endeavor. (Motive is going to be a constant issue...who are you really serving by attempting to love your neighbor?)
@K.Marino* When you pray, do not take your mind, thoughts or eyes off of Him! Self awareness is self-gratifying to ones heart! He wants all of YOU...Believe in your heart and have faith! Love him with your whole heart! God Bless
Sometimes if the Holy Spirit is quiet you might be tested. Sometimes if I was veering off in unrepentant sin, the Spirit seemed far off. Just my own anecdotes. The fact you are aware of it is a good sign! Call out to God
In John 14:6 Jesus himself speaks: "I AM the way, I AM the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (ESV) Jesus himself is the truth, truth is a person. It's everything Jesus Christ ever did and does, everything he is. He doesn't change, because truth cannot change, ever. He is absolutely consistent in everything he does and says.
Anni Well...let’s see. He dishonored his parents, broke the sabbath quite often, told half truths which is lying, etc. consistent? I think not. However, he is god...so I guess whatever he says or does is justified. Do as I say not as I do is his prerogative.
Well, do you have a earnest desire to do Gods Will? Do you desire to please Him? Do you feel shame when you do wrong and you can bearly look up? Is It the cry of your Heart to follow Jesus? Well if thats true of you, God worked that in you, he moved you to desire him and please Him in all things and to suffer for Him. The natural Man cannot desire all that!!!Amen pastor John!!
@Desire Of All Nations Amen!!! I Love the way you put that. And Are'nt infants so precious for their blamelesness? I wounder if Our Blessed Father in Heaven sees us like that.
Good works are what we do as a result of having repented. We desire to: cease to do evil, learn to do good, seek justice, reprove the ruthless and help the needy. In other words, good works means treat your neighbor well, be fair in your acts, be a peacemaker, and help those who can’t help themselves. (The book of Isaiah specifically mentions, as do other books of the Bible, orphans and widows to refer to people with no power or economic means.) Our good works won’t cause our salvation; they confirm it. So it is not circular at all.
@@arionbeckett6276 For it is by Grace you have been saved, through Faith and this is not from yourselfes, It is a gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8,9.
The same way a bad basketball player can still be a good basketball coach. We all fall short of the glory of God. But we can believe in His word. And Christ.
Amen. We are to be like a glove, on the hand of God, to willingly do the works He has prepared us to do for His glory.

Gods purpose? What exactly is that? The counsel of his will? Who knows that? Truth? Even Jesus refused to field that question when asked.
In John 14:6 Jesus himself speaks: "I AM the way, I AM the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (ESV)
Jesus himself is the truth, truth is a person. It's everything Jesus Christ ever did and does, everything he is. He doesn't change, because truth cannot change, ever. He is absolutely consistent in everything he does and says.

I was watching Matt Dillahunty, what happened?
Our work? Gods work? God working in us so that we work? I don’t believe that work was a nine to five job.
No one is perfect...right? Then how do we know good works? Sounds circular to me.
