- We are continuing our series on often misinterpreted verses. Many have hit us with this verse in the comment section. Let's explain it! Is Matthew 7:21-23 properly used by proponents of Calvinism and Arminianism to explain away OSAS, Free Grace and the idea of Easy-believism?

The will of the Father is to believe in grace freely offered to us in Christ Jesus for our salvation. Thanks so much Pastor Jesse for your excellent teaching. God bless.
Wow, this was so helpful. I find myself continually struggling with this passage wondering if it means I'll lose my salvation. It is SO easy to fall into the trap of seeking our own righteousness by works, one I especially struggle with as I'm a bit of a "perfectionist" type of personality. I'm regularly running myself into a wall trying to be good enough; it's hard to get out of your own way! 😅
Thankfully, Jesus continues to patiently meet me there and lead me back to the truth.
I adhered deeply in Calvinism and it was really suffocating, I thank God for using people like you pastor Jesse to enlighten us,.. One person that I thank God for also using is the Channel Onorato Diamante.. those who are reading this comment, I also recommend that channel a lot.. thanks
Lol how free grace can you get?
Have you also looked at Soteriology with Leighton Flowers?
Beautifully done!
I always camped on the "I never knew you", and you just blew me away with the part I skim over. The will of the Father is to "believe in the one whom HE sent" Jesus, yes!!!!
Wow, overwhelmingly good!!!!!!
And just remember that when Jesus started that WHOLE teaching back in verse 15, he was referring SPECIFICALLY to false prophets.
Lord have mercy on me a sinner. My faith is only in You for my salvation.
Praise the Lord! We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ!
- Trent
If you love me, keep my commandments...Jesus says.
DO U KEEP HIS COMMMANDMENTS ? Does Jesus Christ ever .... UN ...REDEEM HIS OWN AFTER HE ...HAS.. REDEEMED THEM ? Can a born again Christian EVER become un born again ? OSAS is the GOSPEL
@@101life9 it means that when you are in love with Jesus you will end up keeping the commandments. Remember the time when you were in love? You follow the heartbeat of love. A man who is deeply in love with his spouse does not think of committing adultery.
@jolibrero
Did my comment give you a doubt that I didn't understand?
Always blows me away how upside calvanists are when they site Matthew 7:21-23 when it cleary condemns their salvation doctrine.
They have to make the scriptures fit their point of view. It can mean what it really means. For them, if it falls outside TULIP, then it needs to be squeezed back in…
- Trent
@@BibleLineJesus said “these signs will follow them that BELIEVE--in my name they will cast out demons.” So how can these not be believers who are saying they casted out demons in His name?
I’ve heard this sort of stuff more so from non denominational/non calvinists than Calvinists
@@SlumericanXX maybe you’ve heard lordship salvationists say this? They’re essentially the same thing.
Amen. Calvinists are Spiritually Blind, they drive me Nuts 🥜. They will pay for their Sins in Hell.
Great video! Keep them coming!
Realist paster 🔥
This is for people who are thinking their good works will save them. They are not trusting Christ to save them but their good works
This is for those who do not obey Messiah. He told us to keep God's Law. That is what the Sermon on the Mount is all about.(Matthew 5 - 7) They refuse to obey Messiah. They refuse to keep the very Law that will be written on every believer's heart. (Jeremiah 31:33)
Shalom!
@@danielnelson9411 this is for those who think they can keep God's laws apart from Christ. all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. self righteousness is sin
Revelation 14:12
Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.
@@danielnelson9411So Daniel, how are you doing with keeping God’s Commandments? Is he pleased with you? Will he say to you on the day of judgement - Well done, thou good and faithful servant! Try to remember, that if you break one Commandment, you are guilty of breaking them all. (JAMES 2:10)
@@danielnelson9411 So Daniel, how are you doing with keeping God’s laws?
Just remember, whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. (JAMES 2:10)
So once again, how are you doing with all of that, Daniel?
Thank you.
I just Subscribed ❤
AMEN!!!
Thank you!
Yes exact opposite.. Jesus never Knew them in this fist place. They never believed in Christ alone in the first place.
Great channel brother, Subbed.
Thank you so much. That’s encouraging!
- Trent
@BibleLine God Bless you Brother Trent!! 🙏
Not that they didn't believe they believed their works of self righteousness saved them instead of believing in the finished work of christ
@@bigal98761 Great perspective! Probably should have said, "they never trusted in Christ alone."
They were focused on what they did for salvation. We are saved by His grace and by having His Spirit in us. By His righteousness in us we become righteous also. This is why Paul teaches the unrighteous will not enter the kingdom. This is done by having a relationship with Jesus this is why He says to them I never knew you. And why Jesus says depart you who practice iniquity.
Romans 1:16 I am not ashed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one who believes. You have to believe the truth That it is His power not ours but by His his power we are made righteous.
Thanks for the video. The Bible says go into the world and preach the gospel. Isnt this the will for us? To be disciplines for christ?
Great video!
Thank you!!
- Trent
It was a year but i hope sir you will accept my question to clear my doubt, that is yes i believe in Jesus alone to have eternal life for he is the only Way to our Heavenly Father:my question is, can a person go to heaven just by faith alone? In the epistle of James 2:14,22,24,26,it was written faith without works is dead. How can i understand this becousei dont want to be rejected by Jesus in judgement day as told in Matthew 7:23. I will be please to know from you sir. Thankyou.
Wow this is soooooooo Awesome
"The will of God is to be in Jesus". I will look up this verse again. Not just John 6,40, its mentioned elsewhere
YAH bless
Thank you for teaching the truth! I always freak out when I read the word may as it implies to me that it might or might not happen. Is there a way to clarify that?
DEFINE "GOOD WORKS"
Righteous deeds, change in lifestyle for good, obedience, keeping standards, following the law, being good, and trying to earn your salvation in some manner similar to those aforementioned.
- Trent
How is this verse aimed at people who tout their works when the ones who fail to do the will of the Heavenly Father are chastised.
Bc the will of the Father is to believe (john 6:29)
Adding your works of repentance to the gospel
Is lawlessness and you will be disappointed at your rejection
It’s keeping the 10 Commandments if we don’t keep these 10 Commandments then we are lawbreakers. John. 14. [15] If ye love me, keep my commandments. [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.
Do you keep all the commandments?...
Just curious why anyone would spend their time doing those good works if they had not called upon the Lord for salvation. It doesn’t make sense to me.
I would rather be a “grace abuser” and think Jesus paid it all compared to a person that thinks Jesus dying was not enough, which is it 100%
These men were boasting about their own works of self righteousness to grant them kingdom entrance instead of relying on the finished work of Christ that's why he said I never knew you anyone who is relying on thier works to be saved are not saved
Going to church and works doesn't necessarily mean genuine relationship with Christ. I believe these people who are told to depart are those who never came into genuine oneness with God
The just shall live by faith. Hebrews 10:38-39. Many Christians confess say they believe in the gospel of Christ. But live by doubt and unbelief. live a sinful lifestyle in the world. They don't repent, confess,seek deliverance from sin. Because they don't think they're doing anything wrong. Osas right!!. Wrong!. The will of the father is to, Live by faith. Not talk by faith.
correction He did not say I use to know you
I agree with some of what he says.. but faith and trust are not merely intellectual.. genuine faith is married to works of faith.. in other words if no action or obedience is taken then its not faith.
Faith is not works. Romans 4:5. The two are completely different. Faith in Christ gives eternal life - this is free. Works are costly, require effort, and they are not free. They EARN things. Salvation cannot be earned.
- Trent
The thief on the cross is not the exception to the rule but the rule.
@BibleLine there are works of law and works of faith.. two different things. Read james.
Salvation does not require a work of law but it requires a work or better stated an obedience of faith
@@justinsalhani3734
God doesn’t make obedience the standard for your place in His family in the same way you don’t do that to your kids.
We don’t obey God out of guilt over past sins. Your sins are forgiven and removed by the blood of Christ. Serve out of love and not to cover guilt that has been washed clean by Christ.
Here's what the bible really says: Jesus saves some by faith but also some by judgment. *And I [John] saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. Revelation 20:12 (NKJV)*
The Mathew passage is written to Israel not to us
Hebrews 10:38-39 . Those who live by faith,are justified. Not those who talk by faith,then live by doubt and unbelief. Live like the devil.
Pull away from wallowing in the doctrinal mire Jesse. What you mean by 'believing on Jesus' is that a person has surrendered. Let me make this simple and non-opinionated: We are here for one reason: Luke 2:52 - to grow 'in wisdom and stature, in favour with God and man(those who recognise His power at work through us)'. Romans 8:29 explains the reason.
Jesus refers to those never surrendered, whose every motivation for every action they took in life was Pride. Regardless of their appearance of benevolence. Philippians 1:6 is the pivot of Matthew 7:21-23. If He never began a good work in us, nothing will have been carried out unto the "day of Jesus Christ". There will be nothing in us that He recognises as of Himself.
Matt 7:21-23 is picture of born-again believers in the church who will fail to enter the KINGDOM of heaven, not heaven itself.
The phrase "enter the Kingdom" literally means to enter into the king's dominion, and it does not mean to enter into heaven.
All Christians will enter into heaven, but not all Christians will "enter the Kingdom" since entrance into the Kingdom is a privilege granted only to those believers who have earned rewards.
Not everyone 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. Matt 7:21
Jesus declares to these believers that He never “knew” them (intimately).
These believers will fail to enter into millennial rest which means they will not reign with Christ during the 1000 year period.
Well the context of Matthew 7 is not even dealing with believers; it is dealing with false teachers.
Nonetheless, “to do the will of the Father” here is definitely a call back to Jesus’ words in John 6:37-40. Believe on the Son.
Paul, John and Jesus reference the “enter the kingdom” as synonymous with heaven. That’s the contextual part. I do agree with you concerning some believers not ruling the same as others. That will be based upon their works/service done for the Lord here.
- Trent
@@BibleLine . . The entire Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5,6,7) is addressed to the disciples (Matt 5:1-2) who are believers.
Matt 7:21 is in reference to believers whether they are prophets or teachers it doesn’t matter because the point is that these individuals are calling Jesus “Lord” and we know that according to 1 Cor 12:3, only believers can call Jesus the Lord.
The word “knew” (G 1097 ginosko) points to intimacy.
Jesus is telling these believers that He never had an intimate relationship with them.
All believers know (G 1492 eido) Jesus as Savior, which is intuitive knowledge, but they all don’t know him as Lord which points to having intimate knowledge.
Believers who know Jesus Christ “intimately” will qualify to enter the kingdom to rule and reign with Him. See (2 Thes 1:3-5) for one example.
All believers know Jesus as Savior because they’ve believed on Him, Acts 16:31, but not all believers know Jesus as Lord because not all have surrendered to Him.
God places heaven and hell before every unsaved person for them to choose.
God then places before every believer (saved person) the kingdom and the world for them to choose.
God bless
False, it says nothing about good works in the Greek Bible.
You are a blind guide, leading the blind. I pray the Lord reveals the truth to you.
These people did believe on Jesus other wise they wouldn't have used His name.. they knew Him, but He didn't know them... there was no relationship!!!!! You will be judged for your teaching.... this scripture is not all about works!!!!!
We know it is “not all about works,” but according to your understanding, they need works to be saved. Their faith apparently isn’t enough, according to your understanding, right?
These people had “many wonderful works,” but they were not known by Christ because they did not believe in Christ.
Why is a person condemned? John 3:18 - they do not believe in Christ.
Salvation is not by works - Romans 3:28, 4:5, Eph. 2:8-9
- Trent
Yes, Jessie, you should read what the Bible says, the Bible also says that the will of GOD for you is your sanctification, that you should abstain from sexual immorality, (1st Thess 4:3) why didn't you mention that one? There's two more verses that specifically mention HIS will, one mentions doing good and the other mentions giving thanks. Besides that, every command in the Bible is HIS will for us. This is what happens when you eisegete, you have to ignore passages and explain away others.
So does abstaining from sex , save you , keep you saved, or if you have sex again will you lose your Salvation? Before you answer
let's remember JESUS CHRIST'S POWERFUL INNOCENT PRECIOUS BLOOD THAT IS SUFFICIENT BEYOND EVERYTHING.
@@Jesussaves.7777 the Bible doesn't say abstain from sex, it says abstain from sexual immorality. In other words sexual sin. If you are in a Biblical marriage, (one man married to one woman) you can have all the sex you want. A true believer can fall into sexual sin, but the HOLY SPIRIT will convict that person, the FATHER will chasten that person so that they repent confess and forsake it. If a person is PRACTICING sexual sin, meaning willful ongoing unrepentant, then the Bible, not me, says that you will not inherit the Kingdom of GOD. 1st Cor. 6:9-10
Gal. 5:19-21
Eph. 5:5-6
Notice those verses talk about being deceived, please, whoever you are, don't let anyone deceive you. These Scriptures are clear. JESUS mentions deception 3 times in Matthew ch. 24 when talking about end times signs.
@@stevehernandez1357 that is incorrect where in the Bible does it say that GOD can lose a believer?
@@stevehernandez1357 there is no such thing as a " true believer " either you believe or you don't believe in Jesus Christ for Salvation.
But woe to those who place their faith in works and not Solely in Jesus Christ.
@@stevehernandez1357 Matthew 7:21-23
New Living Translation
True Disciples
21 “Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. 22 On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ 23 But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’
You are not interpreting in context. One word in Matthew 7:24 destroys your argument. "Therefore". Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine and does them...or does them not. What sayings? The sayings of Jesus that he just wrote about in chap 5-7.
If your faith is not preserved and made complete by walking righteous your house is on sand and will be destroyed on judgment day. Not just body but spirit.
If you think I am wrong then please tell me what the "therefore" means in 7:24.
I appreciate the Pastor's background of thinking everything is sin so he never felt accepted before God. But now he has gone to the ditch on the other side of the road and saying no amount of sin will cause you to lose your eternal salvation. There is a legalism to avoid and I understand people backload an "earn salvation" after they are saved. But walking sin free is not legalistic. There is a difference between good works to earn salvation vs. a basic righteousness that no longer habitually sins..And if you do sin you repent and stop. Do you have to be perfect to make heaven? No. But you can't use that as an excuse to continue in sin. To do this will make you like Matt 7 where you may at one time have casted out devils and prophesied and been used In the gifts but if didn't walk righteous by doing His sayings He will claim He never knew you. You literally erase your own born again experience.
1st John says the same thing. In fact, the verses in 1st John you claim as eternal security are saying the opposite.
Most of the people does not know the difference between the kingdom of heaven vs the kingdom of God, therefore they Mix them together and apply verses that has nothing to do with each other... Jesus came preaching the Kingdom of Heaven to the 12 tribes of Israel ONLY (Matt 10:5-6 & 15:24), to fulfill the covenants between the OT fathers. Now since Jesus is God, and knew he would be rejected he also preached the Kingdom of God to those whom would believe on HIM ALONE for salvation!
So what does this mean... It means Today in the age of Grace that we are under we only have to believe on Jesus to be saved!
Believe on Jesus? What does that mean? Believe on What Jesus accomplished By His life death and resurrection on our behalf.
Jesus was born from a virgin escaping the corrupt bloodline from Adam and by picking Mary Jesus would be qualified to bear the title Son of David and be the righteous “Branch” that was to come from David's family (Isaiah 11:1) to rule in the Millennial Kingdom aka Kingdom of Heaven yet to come after the rapture and the 7 year tribulation... Jesus
Believers on Jesus are part of the Body of Christ aka Kingdom of God, and nothing can Change that or pluck you out of Gods hands.
In other words you can never lose your salvation.
But living in sin has a direct affect on your health and your life... And Heavenly rewards at the Judgment seat of Christ...
God wants us to live Holy lives after we are saved but it's never for salvation or to stay saved... Read romans 12 & Gal 5
But at the tribulation everything changes and another Gospel will be preached by Angels from Heaven....
A Gospel still by Faith that Jesus is the Messiah but also to enter the Kingdom of Heaven by your own RIGHTEOUSNESS....
It's their punishment for not believing but also God promised to save them that come to faith in him by His own power
It is to weed out the Wheat from the tares... The Sheep from the Goats...
God will put His laws within everyone and at that time no one will have an excuse not to do what is right in Gods eyes...
In the Tribulation the real believers in Jesus as their Messiah will have the help from God guiding them... unbelievers wont...
In the age of Grace God has so much Mercy & Grace but we have to read or hear and believe on our own...
in the Tribulation the Wrath of God will be poured out on a disobedient Nation.
There are so much Scripture that supports this but simply put the Kingdom of Heaven is a physical Kingdom that comes down from heaven as the Bride of Christ... God remarries the Nation of Israel and reigns for 1000 years with an iron fist...
This is what the Jews were expecting Jesus to do when He first Came and he could might as well have but not everyone believed He was the Messiah....
At the second coming of Christ at the end of the Tribulation people are either believers or casted in Hell.... Wheat and Tares....
End of discussion, God will slay His enemies and set up His Earthly Kingdom...
@@alexgarmin8457 Peter, in his books that you deny belong to the church age, says Paul writes of these things (that Peter does) and says People wrestle them to there own destruction. This means eternal death.
Now maybe you dance out of that with "just my body is destroyed but not my spirit".
The mercy you claim God has on those in the church age is not mercy but God being complicit in your sin. To say you can fall back into all kinds of immorality and still be saved is error.
Gosh, you are dangerous ground and heading in a bad direction. You should be scared of never seeing Heaven.
And Kingdom of Heaven in Matthew is expressed Kingdom of God in another Gospel.
@@michaelchurchmcmand that’s why you will be among many that say Lord Lord have I not done many good works in your name….
You among many do not understand the scriptures and prophecies of Christ JESUS to atone all sins of the World.
But the problem is that you don’t have Christ and don’t understand the Gospel, How that Christ died for our sins and that he was buried and that he rose again the 3rd…
If you did you would know that it is not our sins that keeps anyone out of Heaven but our unbelief that Christ JESUS paid our sin debt in full with His own blood 🩸
@@TommyB4Jesus Just so I understand. Are you saying that Mat 7:21-23 is Jesus saying that salvation is by faith only to the church age and that the "therefore" in v24-27 is Him switching to teach works to Jews in the tribulation?
I don't know much about the Pastor in the video other than this video but I would love for him to chime in here.
Again, are you saying the "therefore" in v24 is Jesus switching to teaching another dispensation?
If you are not saying this then how are you saying that plain believing saves you when Jesus, here, is saying that faith must be manifested in "doing His sayings"?
@@michaelchurchmcm I'll Just let Trent chime in if he wants. But the Main point here is you are focused on verses that are specifically for the Kingdom of Heaven.... This is a future earthly Kingdom..... Yet to be set up by Jesus Christ.
Anything before Jesus death is still considered Old Testament (Matt 27:62; 28:1; Mark 15:42; Luke 23:54; John 19:31, 42).
Because almost everything Jesus said and did was according to the Mosaic Law.
In Hebrews 9 it says We are under a new covenant by the blood of our testator Jesus Christ.
So if you take verses that does not apply to you today you are going to wrest the scripture to your own destruction as you said...
Just awful...
Thanks, I am learning a lot from your channel. I thank the lord for my salvation that is secure in him forever, I place my faith in him I feel peace. Thank you, Jesus.
Jesse Martinez is literally doing God's work...... I'm so grateful I found this channel !!! Thanks so much !!!
Ill tell you. I was previously one of them who would have said "i did this and that in your name." But that overwhelmed me with anxiety because i realized i was not good enough. I could never do enough good to feel like god was happy with me. I think this is why jesus said we need to be humble. Because those who are not humble, actually believe they are good enough to please God.
Two men went up to the temple to pray....(LUKE 18:10)
Jesus took my sin with Him to the cross. He paid the penalty for me. "It is finished." My obedience to the law is out of love and thanks to Jesus for saving me. It is not perfect and adds NOTHING to my salvation.
Still Messiah rejected those who thought they were saved because they did not keep God's Law. The same Law that Messiah told us to keep in Matthew 5:17-19. The same Law He expounded on right after He told us to keep it. The same Law that so called believers were not keeping. This is all found in the Sermon on the Mount. There is no need to look up other verses to try to explain. Messiah was very clear and concise in what He said. He does not need anyone to clarify it for it is crystal clear until someone pollutes what He said, making it mean something else entirely.
@@danielnelson9411Daniel, you ALWAYS have to look up other verses to try to explain! That’s the name of the game when you study scripture! On any particular subject in the Bible, it’s always best to get the whole council of God.
@@danielnelson9411Yes, if you love Jesus you'll keep his COMMANDMENTS, if you keep his COMMANDMENTS, then that will automatically lead to you believing in him. Have to live a life that is acceptable to God to inherit the kingdom of Heaven. Doesn't see any other way
@fuvjvjchxhc7063 ya see that's not fully true and that's not grace. If God justifies a person then without fail, that person will produce fruit that bears witness to his/her salvation. Some have called it Lordship Salvation; and some in the church have demonized this category because of liberal theologians, same with calvinism.
The contrary view is often called easy believism, which is very man-centered.
The crux of the matter is that a follower of Christ WILL produce good works because they have been given a new nature. They will live in a manner that is pleasing to God, not to gain or keep salvation, but because they have Christ.
@jeffreypaulross9767
Yes, you have to put scripture together properly to get the true meaning. And, One's understanding of what Paul says must line up with what Messiah said. Messiah is the chief cornerstone. Paul is not. Paul is misunderstood by those who put him as the chief cornerstone by trying to make what Messiah said line up with Paul. What Paul said needs to be made to line up with what Messiah said.
Now explain once saved always saved in light of Matthew 25.
Wow, what a great message. Keep up the good work
Yes, yes, yes, salvation is free. Now what do i do , do i hide the free gift?
Do i work with the free gift?
Share that free gift, and live a life that is honorable to Christ for the sake of the gospel message. We are entrusted with the message - 1 Thess. 2:4, and we should not hide it - 2 Cor. 4:3-4
- Trent
I believe that Luke explains this very well especially when those who are persecuting those who simply believes and places their faith Solely on Jesus Christ for their Salvation.
Lets look at The Word of GOD says In
Luke 18:9-14
New Living Translation
Parable of the Pharisee and Tax Collector
9 Then Jesus told this story to some who had great confidence in their own righteousness and scorned everyone else: 10 “Two men went to the Temple to pray. One was a Pharisee, and the other was a despised tax collector. 11 The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed this prayer[a]: ‘I thank you, God, that I am not like other people-cheaters, sinners, adulterers. I’m certainly not like that tax collector! 12 I fast twice a week, and I give you a tenth of my income.’
13 “But the tax collector stood at a distance and dared not even lift his eyes to heaven as he prayed. Instead, he beat his chest in sorrow, saying, ‘O God, be merciful to me, for I am a sinner.’ 14 I tell you, this sinner, not the Pharisee, returned home justified before God. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.”
" humbling ourselves" as a sinner needing a Savior Jesus Christ for Salvation and for forgiveness of our sins not in what we can do to save ourselves but to look to Jesus and believe on Him to be saved that is real repentance to come from unbelief to believing in Jesus Christ for Salvation and not proud and arrogant with prideful and self righteousness. Only Jesus Christ can Justify a sinner not ourselves or anyone else can.
Those who doesn't believe Solely on Jesus Christ for Salvation is condemned already.
Right on. Thank you!

Psalm 94:4 KJV
How long shall they utter and speak hard things? And all the workers of iniquity boast themselves?
Wow !!!! Never heard that one
Amen Jesse! Thank you so much. Can’t tell you how much your explanations help and they are so logical, unlike Calvinism. Jesus is the truth and truly great. Hard for us to comprehend his greatness, it’s beyond our understanding. What a saviour!
Thank you so much. We must stick to what the scripture clearly says! Calvinism diminishes the truth of the gospel.

"Lord, I defended you in the comments section on TH-cam".😅
That's a real bummer.
Thank you. When i gonally understood this in context i stopped doubting my salvation. I was looking at my works or lack of.
Man never loses his ability to accept or reject Jesus, God gave us free will to do that as moral creation until we die.
Salvation is do you believe now, not did you believe in the past.
I suggest you listen to dr Michael Brown on this, before you teach the false man made doctrine of once saved always saved.
The anti free gracers have it bass awkward!!!
Watched again, and was blessed.
WOW!!!!! So clearly and eloquently delivered!!!! THANK YOU!!!!
I heard someone ask this question and I'm curious. The person asked, What if a person accepted Christ as savior( salvation), and then they accept the Mark of the Beast. What happens since OSAS? I know someone can't lose salvation, but it's puzzling to me. Wouldn't that person be going to hell because it'd be too late? Thanks.
Actually doesn't it say to the other guys i was sick and you visited me, I was hungry and you gave me food, so i don't this passage has anything to do with aw but i trusted on Jesus therefore, the guys that went to everlasting life did the opposite it didn't say because you believed on Jesus your welcomed in.
Yes, the context of the passage you are referring to is found in Matthew 25. The goal of that entire dissertation that Jesus is giving to his disciples has nothing to do with "how to go to heaven." He is talking about future events and judgments. See Matthew 23-25 for more context. We even have 2 videos on this:

The Devils definitely working overtime to lead as many souls to Hell with his False Gospel/Bad News to get people to trust in their Works to get them to Heaven.
I wrote a 20 paragraph message on Matthew 7:21-23
The will of the father is to be a Friend of God
Here is what chat gpt says about Matthew 7:21-23
Matthew 7:21-23, in the New International Version (NIV), states:
"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'"
This passage is a part of Jesus' teachings in the Sermon on the Mount. It emphasizes that mere verbal acknowledgment of Jesus as Lord is not enough for salvation; rather, it's about living in accordance with God's will. The passage warns against relying solely on external religious activities or accomplishments without a genuine relationship with God. It stresses the importance of sincere faith and obedience.
To be fair to you, here is what chat gpt says about the free grace translation of Matthew 7:21-23
From a Free Grace perspective, interpreting Matthew 7:21-23 would likely focus on the idea that salvation is based solely on faith in Jesus Christ, and not on one's works or religious accomplishments. In this context, proponents of Free Grace theology might emphasize that what matters is the personal relationship with Christ and trusting in His finished work on the cross, rather than relying on deeds or achievements. They might argue that the passage is cautioning against a reliance on human efforts for salvation, highlighting the need for a genuine, faith-based connection with Jesus.
That is pure lordship salvation. a false gospel mixing works with grace. LS…the greatest deception ever.
@@frankw.1721 so you don’t want Jesus as LORD????
I don’t want lordship salvation. Jesus as Lord is fine. lordship salvation is not fine. You’d do well to figure this out. 😎
A question I have during my cell group: disagreement on predestination.
Jn 3:16 and 2 Pet 3:9 that God wants all to be saved hence there is no election . God loves the world and meaning everyone are called to salvation. God is not a monster to elect a few and chosen ones
God elects man to service, not to salvation.

Pastor, may you and your family be blessed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ! This is the second clip I watch from your channel, extremely simple and true Word. Keep up the good work. Before, I was constantly afraid that I would lose my salvation because I sin every day - whether I look carnally, say something I shouldn't or just get angry or think something wrong. This paranoid fear cannot be of Heaven. Greetings from Bulgaria!
Love this explained series
Thank you!!
- Trent
Excellent video as always Pastor Jesse! Keep it up!
The correct context is all the things Jesus teaches on the sermon on the mount we have to do and do not follow the sinful way of the Pharisees. Things like don’t commit adultery and don’t have unrighteous anger against your brother. If you heal people in the name of Jesus and believe he died on the cross that doesn’t save you from judgment, if you still don’t believe in the word of Jesus, which tells you don’t commit adultery or be angry with your brother and sister. That is the context. I recommend everyone read the sermon on the mount and study it so that you do not fall in error.
🙏 Amen ,Pastor Jesse.
Thank you!!

Jas 2:22 Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?
Jas 2:23 And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.
Jas 2:24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
AMEN, Pastor!!! Thank you for this video. Listening while working from home.
For 30 years I lived in anxiety and depression because I was carried away by different kinds of teachings like you can lose salvation, I now finally have peace believing Jesus Christ alone for salvation.( Those who hear the terrifying words from Jesus, I never knew you are one's who trusted in their own works and not the finished work of the cross, you cannot add anything to God's free gift of eternal life, obviously good works follow believing Jesus Christ alone for salvation. God bless you.
good works do not always follow…and if they don’t the person is still saved since they cannot lose eternal life. if eternal life could be lost it wouldn’t be eternal and Jesus would be a liar.
I agree with you brother, it this guy on you tube calls himself Pastor will creation church, telling these people they never sin if they are a Christian. hes on you tube as well teaching sinless perfection
I’m sick of the back and forth I give up I trust Christ that’s it! I’m utterly confused smh
Confession of sin
Can you give me proper understanding of confession of sins daily basis pastor?
Confession is acknowledging or coming to an agreement with God about your sin. We confess our sin to God to renew fellowship with him. Jesus is our advocate. We should be honest and run to him every time we sin. This is not about salvation, but it is the daily relationship we have with God. 1 John 1:4-10

@@BibleLine thank you so much Bible line
I have been in tears feeling so dumb and confused on this . Been going through real pain mentally emotionally and very exhausted because I didn't really know how to do this Im still looking for a Grace based Faith church in Louisiana or Mississippi and how to pray daily?
Still learning on The Bible and want to live righteous but not for my Salvation because I know I am saved because I believe in what our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ did for our sins on the cross.
Yes He is Risen Amen Hallelujah ❤️🙏
This response comment was a blessing from GOD. GOD bless you guys ❤️🙏
That’s very encouraging. The 1 John series we are releasing talks a lot about this idea. 1 John isn’t a salvation test, but it’s a fellowship and relationship book. It is written “that your joy may be full.” (1:4)
- Trent
It's important to note that Jesus is saying that he never knew these people. He's not saying that he used to know them but not anymore. And to say that I must come to church every Sunday and confess my mistakes so that their salvation can be maintained, that would have to mean that Jesus didn't pay the full price of our iniquities on the cross. In the passion translation in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 9, it says that salvation is never a reward for human striving. The passion translation derives from the original Aramaic language
I'd like to know your take on 1 Timothy 4:1, which says that, in latter times, some will depart from the faith.
Personally, I consider that verse to be talking about a deliberate post-salvation rejection of Jesus. Your thoughts?
Thank God for this channel. There’s so much noise on TH-cam that isn’t biblical!😫😫
Amen Brother. John 3:16. Jesus said it, we believe it, and that settles it. John 6:47. God cannot lie. The simplicity of the gospel. Acts 16:31.
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. John 3:16-17 (Jesus = the word made flesh)
Matt 7:21-23 continues with a “therefore”. Consequently, you should study the following parable in context with the preceding and wise up. 😮
The ones who said Lord, Lord heard the word of God, but did not act accordingly. Read the context, and the explaining parable of the man who built on sand, and the one who built on the solid ground.
actually, that stroy is addressed to themselves who believe in works salvation but accuse it is for the gospel of grace belief. LOL!!
In that story, look at those people who brag about their works to be accepted into heaven. Why do they do that? is that the key for salvation?? Yes, it is the key for salvation in their own belief.
They are not the people who will say, "Lord..Lord..Lord have we believed that salvation is only by grace through faith in You??"
Bible.. Jesus plus His Instructions
OSAS Jesus ALONE..Jesus Minus His Instructions..
Amen 🙏
Thank you!
They are not doing Goodworks.. Jesus..said it very clearly..I believe Jesus..I don't believe you
I guess i can't understand why someone would do all the works unless they were a believer. I fill several roles at church with the goal of the furtherance of the kingdom. Everything for His glory. If i were not a believer i wouldn't.
I'm frightened because it looks to me like works salvation is the predominant view on Christendom. It is bad enough when my unbelieving friends and family turn me away and recoil when I try to share my faith, but it's another kind of pain when your supposed fellow believers scoff at you.
“Scoff” is the operative word here. Scoffing is from a prideful heart, and pride was the problem Jesus was addressing in these passages. “Lord Lord, didn’t we blah blah blah....those people Jesus referred to there in Matthew 7 were trying to come to God on the basis of their own righteousness, and that my friend is the essence of pride, to tout one’s own achievements as the ticket into the kingdom, and that flies in the face of what Paul said, when he said that salvation was “not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Amen brother Jesus Christ is coming back soon!!!
ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED
1 John 5:13 KJV ❤✝️🙏🏼
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. (Jesus Christ).
Everyone is a sinner since the beginning.
Although avoiding sin will improve our spiritual walk with God and here on Earth, there are No repenting of sins, no false teachings like work for your own salvation, no false signs needed to know Jesus Christ has shed His blood for all and offers the gift of eternal life to anyone who believes on him. Know you are going to Heaven today by simply believing and trusting Jesus Christ, its as simple as drinking water. ❤ He is the propitiation for the sins of the world and no other, the Gospel = Good News ❤
Matt 7:21-23 condemns boasters who think good works save. It’s clear!
I’m not baffled at it at all because the only people that take this burst the wrong way or those who don’t have the Holy Spirit or they have the Holy Spirit, but they are young meaning very very young in the body of Christ they are just learning but eventually, the Holy Spirit will Allow them to hear the truth so I’m not baffled at all because this verse in context is speaking of false teachers.
1 John 2: 3 We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. 4 Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. This is in context with the sermon on the mount. In context it says watch out for false teachers like the one in this video. They try to take the warning from Jesus that gives people life and make it to have no effect.
If you say, Lord, Lord, after doing lawlessness is another, the correct work of those who say, Lord, Lord, is todo good works, not in cast out demons, it's hard having that, who will heal them, simple there are Spiritual gift.
After salvation trying to do the good works actually stumbles you. What you are not allowed to do is to identify back with your old you. That is what satan tries to do after you are born again and delivered even in your body.
What happens if he manages to trick you and under pressure of thought about fear you put your trust back in the world and in appeasing the spirit which is in the world - you definitely lose your assurance, the wicked spirits flood your body and you become oppressed again ( “little children beware of idols”). Some say, like you, this is just the loss of reward ( cause you could stay saved in your body and soul as well).
Some say you lost your salvation by this.
You have to rightly divide the scriptures math mark Luke and John those books are written to Israel under the law the are teaching the gospel of the kingdom not the gospel of grace read Paul’s epistles those books are written to us
This is really talking about false prophets who never got born again. Jesus didnt say they did good works - they did. The whole paragraph is talking about false prophets - look at their fruit.
You do know that people that think that way they do not understand scripture you jess you understand the scripture very clear. It’s clear to me that these are people that did not do the will of the father found in John chapter 6 verse 40.
The people who are refuting this dangerous teaching are lovers and not haters. We do not want people to find out that they didn’t keep the faith that was handed down from the apostles on judgment day like Jesus says on the sermon on the mount
What if we do good works because we Love God but already know we're saved through faith
