Thank you! I think I'm going to listen to this every day - it's something I need to absorb in my every single cell and molecule! I'm 74, spent 67 years as a Roman Catholic trying - and failing - to be good enough to earn my salvation. The good and merciful Lord finally led me out of that dreadful moral squirrel cage to a genuine faith in the finished work of Jesus. Thank you, and thank You Jesus!
Greetings my beloved, I am moved by your testimony to ask my beloved how you are 10 months after writing publicly I pray your testimony give confidence to others to always trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ... That communion with God has been and will always be by faith....trusting in Him. Genesis 2:16-17 NKJV - And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; “but of the tree of the KNOWLEDGE of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.” Now that you have come back into the presence of God by trusting complete and absolutely in the Spirit of Grace, I pray that the Lord Jesus will help you to set aside any hurt or bitterness you may hold toward the Catholic church or any other sect that may have caused your conscience to be burdened.... After all God loves all in this way....He has forgiven everyone forever and never counts their sin against them. That's His promise....He only asks one question....Do we believe Him? Acts 7:59-60 NKJV - And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep. ❤🫂❤
@@spangledsky777 Thankyou my beloved, Your kind and encouraging words are like food for my soul....Thankyou If I can share openly with you...we do struggle in our carnal (natural/temporal/created) bodies to fathom the depth and riches of God's Love... For instance if I proposed to you that God is Love and God is all and in all....would you believe it. If I then said God is light amd in Him is life and He is the light of all men...would you believe it. By extension if I then said because God is all in all and God is love and in God is life and in Him there is no death or darkness...that all live, would you believe it. What if I said not "once saved always saved"....but rather "ALL SAVED"...would that offend you. Blessings to you my beloved.... ❤🫂❤
Thank you for sharing, I also became born again 29 years ago, through lack of knowledge,prayer, not studying God's word, listening to false doctrines in false churches and social media i now have the peace of God which transcends all understanding. A study of the gospel of John and Jesus's words and sacrifice on the cross takes away fear and anxiety, the truth will set you free. Glory to God.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- Faith is a gift from God granted to those who have repented first. 9not by works, so that no one can boast. Our works we've done regardless of how noble or much (Outside of Christ) are as filthy rags in God's eyes. Paul makes clear that we are to do works in Christ. Jesus says we are to do works (bear fruit) in His name. John 15:1-6 Matthew 10:8 Matthew 28:19 John 14:12 And More. James and Paul are on the exact same page. Acts 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God,(Believe) and do works meet for repentance. Show your faith through your works (actions) James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? James 2:17-19 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. James 2:21-24 Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23And 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. 24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. Without works Abraham's faith would have been meaningless. True repentance leads a person to acknowledge and renounce sin, to God and prove it with a 180-degree change of their lifes direction. Repentance requires true brokenness. Repentance is not asking the Lord for forgiveness with the intent to go back to the sin(s) again. Repentance is an honest, regretful acknowledgement of sin with a heartfelt desire to change. John 3:16 For so God (once loved) (past tense) the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes (continues believing) present continuous tense in Him. To believe is Faith produced by repentance.
@@2Chronicles714_ ... Faith is NOT the gift. The gift is RECEIVED by FAITH. The Gift is ETERNAL LIFE, and it's a FOREVER GIFT that you HAVE the very MOMENT you first believe in Jesus Christ ALONE for it~!!! It's apart from any works of your own. You don't wait to die to get that gift. You have it the moment you believe~!!! You can't loose that gift because it is ETERNAL~!!! PRAISE GOD~!!!
@@dianeboring6539 Read it carefully Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through [ faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ] Faith is the gift. Otherwise it would say For by grace and faith are ye [ saved and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ] We don't do works for salvation. We do works after salvation as Jesus says. Salvation can be forfeited. 1Corinthians 9:27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize. 2 Peter 2:20-22 If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. 21It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. 22Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” g and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.” Matthew 24:9-13 Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. Colossians1:23 IF ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister. 2 Timothy 2:12 IF we endure, we will also reign with him. If we disown him, he will also disown us; If we deny Him he will deny us. There are many more. Osas doesn't appear in scripture.
@@2Chronicles714_ ..Friend, faith is NOT the gift. Faith is the way you receive the GIFT. The gift is SALVATION ..... For by grace you HAVE BEEN **SAVED**.... "You HAVE BEEN RESCUED." FAITH is the way you GET the gift of salvation.... which is ETERNAL LIFE. The GIFT is being offered freely BY FAITH ALONE in Christ ALONE. There's no other way to have the gift. You can't buy it, work for it, hope for it, etc. You can only accept it, and that's done by simply BELIEVING in JESUS CHRIST ALONE for it~!!! John 3:16.... "whosoever~!!!" He loves the WHOLE WORLD and paid the price so that He could give His gift freely to anyone who will simply take it BY FAITH ALONE. It's "NOT OF WORKS" lest anyone should boast~!!!
@@idriveastationwagon1534 Are you familiar with the teachings known as Calvinism ? I no longer support or believe that view , but was raised in it . Hence the term de- calvinized
@@tonyo2195 I’m more familiar with what TULIP really stands for…thought it was a fancier way to describe the sin of mankind and the need for the gospel. This other channel explained TULIP for it’s real definition. I’m just curious as to which pastors did your family grow up on
@@idriveastationwagon1534 , I grew up in a Dutch Reformed Church which was heavy on the " Tulip " which is the short summary of Calvinism. While there is much I respect about the Reformed Faith , the legalism wrapped up in Calvinist teaching was extremely stifling .
Praise God Bob, that was soooooo good. This is Joe by the way. Yes amen great sermon. And yes Thank You God for the everlasting life that have the moment I placed my faith in Your Son Jesus!!! Hallelujah!!!!!!
Exactly. A question I have for Lordship Salvationists is this; if someone is completely disabled, bed ridden and not able to move or speak. They cannot physically do any works whatsoever, are they saved? Was the great price of Jesus not enough? Or shall you condemn a man because they cannot physically do works?
It's not at about physical work, it's about; If one is truly born again there will be evidence of a changed life. 2 Corinthians 5:17. If the Holy Spirit is indwelling the person that person will not be the same. Repentance must precede faith. In other words a person cannot be saved if that person continues as they were before, in ongoing sin.
The person in the situation you describe can offer his condition up to God the Father as a spiritual sacrifice in union with Jesus for reparation for sins and the salvation of souls.
Well said brother Bob wilkins, spot on in every passage. Johns gospel is a evangelist book, also, in ( 1John 5:13) Its says we can know we have everlasting even beliveing on his name. Just wanted to share that passage as well God bless🙏🙏👍
Yes, we believe - we believe in Jesus’ finished work on the cross - His death, burial and bodily resurrection for our justification, shedding His perfect blood as payment for our sins. Because we believe in His SACRIFICE, we have the promise of everlasting life. If someone doesn’t understand the Gospel, 1 Cor 15:1-4 (not John 3:16), and they subsequently don’t believe in His sacrifice, they don’t have everlasting life simply because they claim a promise. That’s the same thing as saying a person is saved because they said a prayer. Agree 100% that “we” aren’t the assurance of salvation. Our assurance that we’re going to Heaven to be with the Lord for eternity is that we’ve believed the Gospel, thus receiving everlasting life. 1) We hear the Gospel - 1 Cor 15:1-4 2) We believe the Gospel - 1 Cor 15:1-4 3) We’re sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption of the purchased possession (ourselves). Eph 1:13-14 Faith in a promise isn’t what saves. Faith in the shed blood of Jesus and His death, burial and resurrection for our justification is what saves. THEN we have the promise of everlasting life. We need to make sure the object of our faith, trust, belief are in the correct place. And, that’s Christ Himself and what He did. We have the promise because we’ve believed in what He did for us. 👍
Thank You Jesus for Paying for All my Sins Thank You Jesus for Shedding Every Last Drop of Your Perfect Redeeming Innocent Blood For The Forgiveness Full Remission of All my Sins Thank You Jesus for Dying in my place on The Cross ✝️ ❤To Pay for All my Sins as The Perfect Sacrifice because You have No Sin Thank You for Being Buried Thank You Father God For Bringing Jesus BACK ALIVE 3 Days After His Death because He Is The Son of God and God At The Same Time!!!

@@sandragambrel9721 She may be saved...or not, just like everybody else who say they believe "in" Jesus. But believing in Jesus doesn't save. Believing "into" Jesus saves. The Greek word EIS has 2 different meanings. #1 EIS can mean "in," or #2 EIS can mean "into." The early interpretators used the word "in" instead of "into" when translating the bible. Maybe because they weren't born of God and therefore didn't have spiritual discernment?!(Devils tactics). Here's an example....One person believes "in" the ocean by observing it from the shoreline, while another believed "into" the ocean and became immersed with it. Big difference. John 3 16 is .." whosoever believeth"into" Jesus should not perish...." The Recovery bible version corrects these. You have to believe "into" Jesus for salvation. Have to yield "into" life eternal (which is Jesus) and not just say you believe while standing away from Life eternal. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. John 5 40.
@@Europeangardens My Bibles say "in", not "into". Both John 3:15 and 16. 3:18 says believe "on" Jesus. What does that mean? Jesus says in John 6:29, "This is the work of God, that we believe on Him whom He hath sent". "In" and "into" are both prepositions.
how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV
Believing in Christ entails commitment to Christ, trust in Christ, allegiance to Christ. God transforms us, though we are not perfected until Christ returns. The Scripture that Wilkins selectively quotes to his own ruin also says: "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God." (1Co 6:9-11 NAS) And again: "Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you just as I have forewarned you that those who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." (Gal 5:19-21 NAS) Wilkins and his fellow "free-grace" (their term) advocates claim one and even deny Christ and persist in unbelief and rebellion against Him and yet receive eternal life because of a temporary false faith. But Jesus says: "Everyone therefore who shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven. But whoever shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven." (Mat 10:32-33 NAS)
And the Bible says all of our rightoueseness is but filthy rages before the creator That's why that when you trust you believe in JESUS he gives you the most important gift you will ever get It says in 1 John that when you believe the testimony concerning His Son That He gives us eternal life and that life is in His Son!!!BLESS YOU BROTHER and this is where I got my assurance at it says that there 3 that bear witness in Heaven The Sprit the water and the blood! So when I read that the scales feel from my eyes!!! If the HollySpirt wasn't bearing witness of that truth that is inside me I couldn't believe that report!!! And I thank GOD when I'm called away I will be in the prescent of my Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST!!!(Greg)
Please Pray For me I CANNOT STOP SINING I TRY AND ALWAYS COME BACK TO ANGER AND LUST 😢😢😢I BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST PAID THE PRICE FOR SINERS LIKE ME BUT I JUST KEEP DOING WHAT WRONG IN GODS SIGHT 😢😢😢
Romans 4:5-8- But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. 6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, 7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. 8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. God doesn't need your rags or attempts at righteousness to save you. You are saved by Grace. This means its not something you earned, it's the unmerited favor of God. He says anyone who believes in him will never die, not anyone who believes and him and stops sinning. Your sin will bring the chastisement of God but you will not be condemned and cannot be condemned if you believe in Christ and what he has accomplished for you.
@@larryhoward-pl1pe Amen my beloved, so beautifully said.... The Gospel is good news, because it is for the assurance God wants all people to have regarding their eternal hope (Heaven). God will write His instructions upon your heart for this life, its his promise. My encouragement to the one who wrote the confession is to rest from your labours and trust in the miracles God will do in you by faith.... In a symbolic way Jesus determined by the Spirit of God that the scriptures would testify how many healing miracles He did on the Sabbath... Symbolic because as you rest He works in you... Commit it all to Him by faith and believe...He loves us far more than we can understand... The Spirit that justified you will perfect you.... He knows its what you want and He wants to give you what you want....thus ask. John 3:8 NKJV - “The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” BELIEVE, that's all He requires from you. ❤🫂❤

Hodges th-cam.com/users/shortsDwJceWGMg9U *Do Demons Believe the Gospel? - James 2:19* - Bob Wilkin th-cam.com/video/qO0ZJgjBf94/w-d-xo.html Does James 2:19 say that demons believe the gospel? Bob Wilkin of the Grace Evangelical Society looks at what demons believe. Is the faith of demons somehow different from faith in other parts of the Bible?
I found that 1 John 5:11 and 1 John 5:13 help me understand believing in Him for everlasting life as believing that Jesus has given us eternal life, which is exactly what is written in the record
But His identity is the guarantor of everlasting life to those that believe in Him for that life, that is, to those that believe that they have everlasting life from Him. How do we believe in the first place that we have eternal life from Him?
Some look at everlasting life kinda like people who look to be saved so they do t go to hell. I’m going to live forever but they don’t realize everlasting life is Jesus Himself. We got a Savior that saved us because of His Grace and mercy and will under No circumstance lose none.
My problem is many times I’ve thought I believed something, but my actions showed I did not truly believe. Also the Bible shows it is possible to believe and have unbelief at the same time. It would be good to rationalise the difference between belief and faith, I think this is what the book of James explains. Even demons believe. Faith is what you believe put into action. Can’t you tell someone’s beliefs via their actions? I think it could be best to analyse is there a difference between belief and faith
@Alvin Fen Thank You for doing will of Holy Spirit 🕊️ and giving newbie like myself this beautiful clarification, all Glory to Most High 💚 may God keep blessing you with understanding and patience Dear Brother in Christ
Without Faith, it is impossible to please God (Heb 11:6). By Grace, you are saved through Faith (Eph 2:8). This is the victory, which overcomes the world: Our Faith (1 John 5:4). What is this Faith in these verses? It is the Faith taught by the Catholic Church which Our Lord founded (Matt 16:18-19) and sent to teach all for salvation of souls until the end of the world (Matt 28:20, Mark 16:16).
To be saved, we must live by Faith in Jesus Christ (Gal 2:20) according to the teachings of the Church (Rom 6:17) and daily crucify the desires of the flesh, so that sin does not reign over our mortal bodies (Rom 6:12). St. Paul says, "You are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience to Faith, which leads to righteousness (Rom 6:16)." Whoever sins belongs to the Devil and no one, who is begotten by God, commits sin (1 John 3:8-9).
Our Lord is the Head of His Church, which is His Body and His Bride, whom He saves (Eph 5:23), as He is the Good Shepherd who saves the sheep in His Only Fold (John 10:14-16, 27-28). That's why 'Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (outside the Church, no salvation)' is a Catholic Dogma (Catechism #. 846). For further information on this, please watch The Forgotten Dogma: No Salvation Outside the Catholic Church by Father Isaac Mary Relyea on TH-cam. Why stay outside of His Sheepfold and risk your eternal salvation? Come quickly to His Fold before it is too late, so that you may hear His Voice, know and follow Him, and be saved by Him. Amen!
❤ What do you feel when I drop a heart on this message? I assert from my experience in relationships with people and with God that. Both my emotions and my analytical mind benefit my faith in God. It is both beings in me that God created. In some ways, my emotions are stronger and vice versa. Have you ever seen anyone die/sacrifice/desire something to the end with logic / mind? I think they can do it even with emotions. It exists in human being. But the benefit is not to separate it, but to unite it for a pursuit that only God can see deep in the heart. V Therefore, He gave instructions when the disciples wanted to go and rebuke him because of that, He saw its near future.
Ironically, majority of Christians (Lordship people) seem to think they can be obedient enough, repent enough etc to have their salvation. Because if you ask them, they would say they are saved. They also would share the gospel this way- that a person not only needs to believe, John 3:16, but they also need to repent and obey. The gospel is under Siege.
do you believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God? do you believ He died on the cross to take away our sin was buried then 3 days later was raised from the dead? if yes you are saved and scripture assures us of this belief that we are saved
He forgot to mention John 4:28-29. “Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and will come out, those who have done good deeds to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked deeds to the resurrection of condemnation.”

My question is , why didn't you talk about the conviction of a sinner . No conviction, no salvation. We must be delt with about sin. Once we seek him out thru repentance and faith. He then gives peace to our souls. Yes it is an experience we go thru. It is the spirit than births us into the family of God.
John wants believers to be assured of salvation. First read 1 John 5:13 [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. The argument John is making here is first that everyone who believes in Jesus has been born of God (the new birth) Next everyone who loves the Father loves those who also have been born again. How do we know we love God as well as those who are His? John explains how a true believer will be living. What is the evidence of a true believer that John is talking about? Read from 1 John chapter 1 through 1 John 5:12 where he describes how a true believer will be living. A summary of those preceding verses. 1 John 1:6-7 (IF) we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.Ch.2:3-5 And hereby we do know that we know him, [IF] we keep his commandments.4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 9Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness.15Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16For everything in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-comes not from the Father but from the world. 17The world and its desires pass away, BUT WHOEVER DOES THE WILL OF GOD LIVES FOREVER. 29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him. 1 John 3:4-10 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness5But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. 7Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8The one who does what is sinful is of the devil,because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister. 1John 5:1-4 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
To believe that you are saved by Jesus is not what it means to believe in Jesus. To believe in Jesus is to believe in who he says he is. If you believe he is the Truth, then all of his words are true and we need to know and believe all his words to the point that they are the truth we are living out of. This includes repentance, baptism, obedience, sowing, etc. I am not saying it's faith + works= salvation. I'm saying that repentance, baptism, obedience, sowing are Christ's teachings, which are what we trust if we trust in Him. Why would we ignore the directions of someone who is the Way to God and then expect to arrive? Repent, be baptized, and let Christ live through you starting today. This video is not in line with the scriptures, which DO say to examine yourself to know whether or not you are in the faith. See 2 Corinthians 13:5. It's very important to examine yourself. Do you see Christ utilizing your body and tongue? You need to. Submit today and let the Spirit lead you.
@@ZandJ12345 Works are extremely important, for not all works are dead works. *Dead works* are useless. *Righteous works* are faith in action. "Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also." James 2:21-26
@@na-zu2ey when the Bible speaks of faith plus works, being made perfect through works, justified through works… it’s not talking about what one must do to go to heaven. Because you believe those passages are talking about being eternally saved, no wonder you believe works are necessary. I would believe that too if I thought the passages you quoted referred to gaining eternal life. But I don’t believe those passages are about that, I believe you are quoting them out of the context they are found in. “To him who does not work but believes on Him, his faith is accounted for righteousness.” Works have absolutely nothing to do with going to heaven.
Very intense discussion here in comments section, works, faith, salvation,,, promise, I'm not very well read in Holy Word, so I wont even touch in there, I'm quite newbie in my walk with Christ, I don't want to divert subject of discussion on my testimony, just explaining I'm born again, once lost and found sheep, called my Our Lord Savior 🙏 just wanted to add not scriptural ( from reason I stated above), but something to ponder about from life,. Some while ago in Grace church I used to attend ( cause had to change location for my family) I heard beautiful testimony on behalf of older brother's mother, who all her life was typical catholic church goer, more from tradition then anything else, though her son didn't miss opportunity to introduce Christ as her personal Savior. It just couldn't "click" with her after years of programming in Catholic church,,,but this brother, her son never gave up praying for her and "smuggling" teachings. Finally the old then lady, and sick in hospital, weak from hard life, finally she received Christ as her savior not long before she died...we all have tears in eyes listening to this touching story, so in this real life example - this old lady obviously didn't have works, cause she was in bondage to old religious system, but she came to faith before she died, so - does she have eternal life or not? We can think of many similar examples, what about real bad sinners on death row for example, which met gospel in prison and accepted it truly before he died? What about man on cross which hung beside Christ, ? I can multiple examples but point is the same, I was lost in New Age philosophies, but always deep down felt protection and hand of Christ (was raised in Catholic church, but couldn't deal with it and rebel ), Lord himself called me back and I'm so grateful no words can describe, but it's process of deprogramming from all falsehoods and Holy Spirit leading ppl to sanctification, it's not like eastern mysticism - working your way to enlightenment, or have some satori moment and glowing, it's different for everyone, but we trust our Lord He does work in our hearts and minds. I can say for myself that I see big difference between myself year ago and today, and still it's lots of work until I die, but I know I'm in God's hand and no matter what happens He has me. Ofcourse I want be best as possible, but it's not possible in this world. We all make mistakes, apostles were having problems, demon in Peters was rebuked by Christ, Peter turn from Lord twice, many apostles didn't understood Christ at first and they were far from perfect, but in the end they died for faith.... it's only logical, if we Love our Savior, we want to bring Him best testimony through our lives, but to be on guard and thinking perfection is more in tune with eastern mysticism then Christ, which came for lost and sinners, not to perfect ppl which wouldn't need salvation then right? Call me stupid, but that's how I understand it ...
@Alvin Fen Thank you so much for this beautiful lesson 🙏🕊️💚 I still can't and can comprehend this amazing Grace, Gift of Him, who called me out from my weird life as once lost and found sheep of His 💝
It's a silly question. The world was died for by Jesus. How do I know that Im saved.(??) Well if you believe then you're forgiven then you 'know" your saved. If you don't believe then you don't know; but ALL are forgiven. Most Christians don't believe all are forgiven.
It is Christ's grace that saves, not works. However, He bestows this grace and salvation on genuine (not false) believers with a saving faith expressed through the loving care and charity shown to others. Christ condemns hell believers who don't care about or help the sick, prisoners, and poor. “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven... Matt 7:21-27 ... ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’... Matthew 25:31-36 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?... You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only... For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:14-16
@alvinfen4511 Only God knows who goes where. "Judge not lest ye be judged." -Jesus What is certain from what Christ and the apostles wrote is that if you go on sinning on purpose (without repentance) and not helping the poor, you will sow what you reap. Goodbye Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers...nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Cor 6:9,10 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey-whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance. Romans 6:1,2, 14-17 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world. James 1:27 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?... You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only... For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:14-16 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven... Matt 7:21-27 ... ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’... Matthew 25:31-36 “I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’-and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked..." Rev 3:15-17 And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded [a]him? I think not. So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ ” Luke 17:7-10
@alvinfen4511So now you resort to personal attacks because you're in the wrong about salvation, in my opinion. Not very Christian is it? Please go away. I feel harassed by you. I'm blocking you
Why does Paul say he has a new unknown better mystery gospel? What can I learn about the Cross work of Jesus Christ in the Book of John? I notice you do not speak or boast in the Cross of Christ either.
It is beyond my understanding how this man claims to be a minister of God. My point is that he titled his video " How To Do I Know That I'm Saved". He never once went to a scripture that directly addresses his title. 1st John chapter 3 verse 14. Thats how you know. Romans chapter 5 verse 5 explains how you can love the brethren. I implore all so-called believers to examine your hearts . Man looks at the outward appearance, but God sees the heart. If the Love of God is in your heart, then you know you know the you are saved. If it is not, then I implore you to seek for it with your whole heart.
Don’t listen to that fool above. We believe in Him for eternal life. 1 timothy 1:16 “However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.” It’s believing what he said in John 3:16, that you will never perish that you have eternal life. Do your believe that? Do you believe you will never perish because you believe in Him? Or do you believe you must also deal with your sin? Or be a committed follower? …. Believing in Him is defined by the context.
@@ZandJ12345 No, we must hold to all of His teachings and obey Him, not believe only that we can have eternal life. "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him." John 3:36 "Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son." 2 John 1:9 "If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love." John 15:10
@@ZandJ12345so believing this(end of John 11:26) means believing that I will never perish, and then I will never perish????(If I believe that I will never perish?) So it's believing THIS(that I will never perish) that will grant me the promise of John 3:16???( So the condition of the promise is inside the promise , believing THIS same thing that is promised in order to receive it??
Please Help me I Believe Jesus Is The Son of God and God The Son of The Holy Trinity I Believe Jesus Shed His Blood and Died in my place to Pay for All my Sins He was Buried Then 3 Days Later Jesus Arose From The Dead!!! Am I still Saved because of my faith in Jesus or am I Not Saved because of my Sins? Am I born again because of my faith in Jesus or is there something more I need to do? Thank you for All your Help and Time God Bless you
If you have believed the gospel, then yes, you are saved. Sin can sever your fellowship with God, but not your relationship. Once you are saved, it is forever. Do not listen to anyone who says otherwise.
broke away from Calvinism years ago then attended Arminian church both bad wrong then joined Anglican Church to find a bit of solace in liturgy and Eucharist even if episcopal are off the charts in wokesterland anyway there are few that present the one true gospel seems 95% do not. Paul said there’d be a great falling away didn’t he.
The work is to deny your self take up your cross and follow him and go make disciples if we are not doing these things we not born again meaning not saved true believers in Jesus sacrifice for sin is a disciple of his 6:31
That was good Alvin. 👍 And if I may add?. For Jeffrey,,,Check out and learn about who you are in Christ. Check out your new identity in Christ Jesus. Paul mentions them all over his letters. You can also do a search and find lists of who you are in Christ. 👍🎶
Three & only three entities accuse or convict of sin: 1) Satan 2) Other believers (far too many “Christians”) 3) Yourself The Holy Spirit convicts those who do NOT BELIEVE in Jesus of sin (John 16:9). He convicts the believer of righteousness (John 16:10, 20:27-31)
Satan does not convicted you of sin he does just the opposite he tells you the sin is OK, its not hurting anyone, everybody is doing it and things like that. That's why he's called the father of lies, the deciever. The Holy Spirit did come to warn the world of its sin. The Holy Spirit if he's dwelling in you will convict and try to steer away from the enticement.
To believe and have faith in Jesus is obeying ... The Greek word is Pisteuio and means just that. When we rely simply on the English version of believe, our faith can become transactional. Pisteuō is not a transactional term. It smacks of following (i.e., adhere to). Jesus didn’t invite people into a transaction. He invited people to follow him. Transactions tend to be clean and clear-cut. Following is messy (ask the original disciples!). Transactions are not relational. Following is highly relational. In my observation, western Christianity tends to lean transactional.
That’s because there was a transaction made, the death of Gods only begotten Son. Is this transaction not enough? or will you rely on your flesh to save you, knowing that no man is good and all fall short of the glory of God?
@@GoyimNewsNetwork notice it says words... Luke 6:46-49 “Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' but do not do what I say? I will show you what everyone is like who comes to me and hears my words and obeys. That person is like a man building a house who dug deep and laid the foundation on rock.
We are saved by trusting in the Lord Jesus death, burial and resurrection for the forgiveness of our sins. The Gospel by which we are saved is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins that we read in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. Ephesians 2:8-9 says that our salvation is THE GIFT OF GOD and that we are saved by grace through our faith and not according to the sins we do not commit or the so called good we do.
We are saved by first repenting of sin followed by water baptism and then we will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Without repentance there is no forgiveness of sin and we cannot receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
@@2Chronicles714_ Repentance means to change our minds. If you believe that you are saved by repenting of your sins and being baptized than you have not believed the Gospel! The Gospel by which we are saved is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins. This is what one believe unto salvation! If you prefer the book of Acts to tell you how we are saved then I recommend Acts 4:12 that says, Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Or, Acts 16:30-31 where the jailer asked how he can be saved and they said believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shall be saved. Notice the disciples did not say to repent of your sins and be baptized?
@@Adam-ed6vm You stopped at Acts 16:31 read next 2 verses Acts 16:32-33 And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house. What was the word of God they spake to the jailer? We can surmise it was to repent of sin since the next scripture says the jailer and all his were water baptized. We know Peter or Paul would only water baptize as the final part of repenting of sin. 33And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway. Paul again Acts 22:16 And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord. This scripture is as close as any one scripture can be to the gospel in a nutshell. Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 1 Peter 3:20-21 Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 21The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Remember even Jesus was water baptized to set an example for us. Matthew 3:14-17 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 16And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Water baptism is the burying of the old sinful man and the rising of the new man.
@@Adam-ed6vm Jesus nor Peter or Paul ever said Trust in Him for the forgiveness of sins. They all said Repent. False teachers have changed Repent to Trust. Two different meanings. Jesus's first command when He started His earthly ministry was Repent. Mark 1:15 The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” Matthew 4:17 Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near. Peter: Acts 3:19 REPENT YE therefore, and be converted believe), that YOUR SINS MAY BE BLOTTED OUT, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord. Acts 11:18 When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.” Peter warns 2 Peter's 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, but that ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE Peter is clear REPENT OR PERISH just as Jesus said in Luke 13:3 Paul Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent. Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 22:16 And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord. Acts 26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. How to be saved Repent of sin. Believe by faith that Jesus died was buried and rose again for our sins. Be water baptized to complete repentance by the burying of the old sinful man and the rising of the new. Receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. The only way to obtain grace is to repent of sin then by doing so we show the fruit of being a true believer. To believe is faith produced by repentance.
@@2Chronicles714_ You are adding a doctrine where none is! There is no repenting of sins anywhere in the NT. My question is why are you adding a requirement where none is concerning how one is saved? We are saved by trusting in the Lord Jesus death, burial and resurrection for the forgiveness of our sins. The Gospel we read in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is in disagreement with you!
*Catholic View of the Thief on the Cross on Salvation and Discipleship* - Bob Wilkin th-cam.com/video/YpVkg54RzsQ/w-d-xo.html Catholic apologist, Dr. Douglas Beaumont, claims that the experience of the Thief on the Cross supports Catholic teaching that faith plus works are required for salvation. Dr. Beaumont argues that the Thief on the Cross passage support the following: 1. The Thief on the Cross was under the Old Covenant. 2. The Thief on the Cross might have been baptized. 3. The Thief on the Cross is an edge case. 4. The Thief on the Cross is only one salvation example. 5. The Thief on the Cross did exhibit faith and works. Bob Wilkin of the Grace Evangelical Society examines these 5 points and shows that the experience of the Thief on the Cross supports salvation by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone for the free gift of everlasting life and the reward of ruling and reigning with Jesus for confessing Him.
*Should We Only Present the Core Essential Gospel (believe in Jesus for Everlasting Life)?* - Zane Hodges th-cam.com/users/shortssxzk6ZxAfRw One of the misconceptions of Focused Free Grace Theology, is that when evangelizing, we should only present the core essential Gospel, believe in Jesus for everlasting life. Zane Hodges during the 2001 Grace Evangelical Society National Conference answers this objection, and explains how it is helpful in evangelizing to know what core essential Gospel is.
I Believe In My Heart the only reason why I go to heaven is because of what Jesus did on the cross his work of Salvation not mine any good that I do would be a reflective of the new nature that I have
SO I INFER THAT FAITH/BELIEVE IS A SYNONYM FOR OBEDIENCE WHICH YOU CALL WORKS - so the evidence of one's character is that one believes (has faith in) in Jesus Christ - To know one is saved one must not introspect or look within (one's works) but just BELIEVE that "God so loved the world that He.... that whosoever BELIEVES...." What did the Baptist mean ... Mat 3:8 Produce fruit, then, in keeping with repentance. What is that fruit? There were many false prophets in the days of Jesus and they believed in the One true God is Israel but Jesus said .. Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. Mat 7:16 By their FRUIT you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Mat 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Mat 7:22 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 perform many miracles?’ Mat 7:23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’ 1Jn 2:3 BSB By this we can be sure that we have come to know Him: if we keep His commandments. 1Jn 2:4 BSB If anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him. Jud 1:4 For certain men have crept in among you unnoticed-ungodly ones who were designated long ago for condemnation.

Thank u Jesus I don’t deserve it ! I mess up more than I do good but that u for knowing this and going to the cross for me !
Thank you! I think I'm going to listen to this every day - it's something I need to absorb in my every single cell and molecule! I'm 74, spent 67 years as a Roman Catholic trying - and failing - to be good enough to earn my salvation. The good and merciful Lord finally led me out of that dreadful moral squirrel cage to a genuine faith in the finished work of Jesus. Thank you, and thank You Jesus!
Greetings my beloved,
I am moved by your testimony to ask my beloved how you are 10 months after writing publicly
I pray your testimony give confidence to others to always trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ...
That communion with God has been and will always be by faith....trusting in Him.
Genesis 2:16-17 NKJV - And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, “Of every tree of the garden you may freely eat; “but of the tree of the KNOWLEDGE of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Now that you have come back into the presence of God by trusting complete and absolutely in the Spirit of Grace, I pray that the Lord Jesus will help you to set aside any hurt or bitterness you may hold toward the Catholic church or any other sect that may have caused your conscience to be burdened....
After all God loves all in this way....He has forgiven everyone forever and never counts their sin against them.
That's His promise....He only asks one question....Do we believe Him?
Acts 7:59-60 NKJV - And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

Thankyou my beloved,
Your kind and encouraging words are like food for my soul....Thankyou
If I can share openly with you...we do struggle in our carnal (natural/temporal/created) bodies to fathom the depth and riches of God's Love...
For instance if I proposed to you that God is Love and God is all and in all....would you believe it.
If I then said God is light amd in Him is life and He is the light of all men...would you believe it.
By extension if I then said because God is all in all and God is love and in God is life and in Him there is no death or darkness...that all live, would you believe it.
What if I said not "once saved always saved"....but rather "ALL SAVED"...would that offend you.
Blessings to you my beloved....

Thank you for sharing, I also became born again 29 years ago, through lack of knowledge,prayer, not studying God's word, listening to false doctrines in false churches and social media i now have the peace of God which transcends all understanding. A study of the gospel of John and Jesus's words and sacrifice on the cross takes away fear and anxiety, the truth will set you free. Glory to God.

Bob Wilkin has a gift for cutting through the heresy and getting straight to the true Gospel.
I would say it is less so a gift but rather PERSEVERANCE in studying the Scriptures and TAKING IT SERIOUSLY.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-
Faith is a gift from God granted to those who have repented first.
9not by works, so that no one can boast.
Our works we've done regardless of how noble or much (Outside of Christ) are as filthy rags in God's eyes.
Paul makes clear that we are to do works in Christ.
Jesus says we are to do works (bear fruit) in His name.
John 15:1-6
Matthew 10:8
Matthew 28:19
John 14:12
And More.
James and Paul are on the exact same page.
Acts 26:20
But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God,(Believe) and do works meet for repentance.
Show your faith through your works (actions)
James 2:14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
James 2:17-19
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
James 2:21-24
Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23And 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. 24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
Without works Abraham's faith would have been meaningless.
True repentance leads a person to acknowledge and renounce sin, to God and prove it with a 180-degree change of their lifes direction.
Repentance requires true brokenness.
Repentance is not asking the Lord for forgiveness with the intent to go back to the sin(s) again.
Repentance is an honest, regretful acknowledgement of sin with a heartfelt desire to change.
John 3:16
For so God (once loved) (past tense) the world that He gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believes (continues believing) present continuous tense in Him.
To believe is Faith produced by repentance.
@@2Chronicles714_ ... Faith is NOT the gift. The gift is RECEIVED by FAITH.

Read it carefully
Ephesians 2:8
For by grace are ye saved through [ faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ] Faith is the gift.
Otherwise it would say
For by grace and faith are ye [ saved and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: ]
We don't do works for salvation.
We do works after salvation as Jesus says.
Salvation can be forfeited.
1Corinthians 9:27
No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
2 Peter 2:20-22
If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. 21It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. 22Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” g and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud.”
Matthew 24:9-13
Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
Colossians1:23
IF ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister.
2 Timothy 2:12
IF we endure,
we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
he will also disown us;
If we deny Him he will deny us.
There are many more.

@@2Chronicles714_ ..Friend, faith is NOT the gift. Faith is the way you receive the GIFT. The gift is SALVATION ..... For by grace you HAVE BEEN **SAVED**.... "You HAVE BEEN RESCUED." FAITH is the way you GET the gift of salvation.... which is ETERNAL LIFE. The GIFT is being offered freely BY FAITH ALONE in Christ ALONE. There's no other way to have the gift. You can't buy it, work for it, hope for it, etc. You can only accept it, and that's done by simply BELIEVING in JESUS CHRIST ALONE for it~!!! John 3:16.... "whosoever~!!!" He loves the WHOLE WORLD and paid the price so that He could give His gift freely to anyone who will simply take it BY FAITH ALONE.
It's "NOT OF WORKS" lest anyone should boast~!!!

You say De-Calvinize….explain
@@idriveastationwagon1534
Are you familiar with the teachings known as Calvinism ?
I no longer support or believe that view , but was raised in it . Hence the term de- calvinized
@@tonyo2195 I’m more familiar with what TULIP really stands for…thought it was a fancier way to describe the sin of mankind and the need for the gospel. This other channel explained TULIP for it’s real definition. I’m just curious as to which pastors did your family grow up on
@@idriveastationwagon1534 ,
I grew up in a Dutch Reformed Church which was heavy on the " Tulip " which is the short summary of Calvinism.
While there is much I respect about the Reformed Faith , the legalism wrapped up in Calvinist teaching was extremely stifling .
@Tony can you tell me about the legalism, how are the legalistic? I'm not challenging you, i'm curious.

Beautiful message and thank you for sharing!
Amen Brother. I love GES
Exactly. A question I have for Lordship Salvationists is this; if someone is completely disabled, bed ridden and not able to move or speak. They cannot physically do any works whatsoever, are they saved? Was the great price of Jesus not enough? Or shall you condemn a man because they cannot physically do works?
It's not at about physical work, it's about; If one is truly born again there will be evidence of a changed life.
2 Corinthians 5:17.
If the Holy Spirit is indwelling the person that person will not be the same.
Repentance must precede faith.
In other words a person cannot be saved if that person continues as they were before, in ongoing sin.
@@2Chronicles714_ but nonbelievers can also live changed lives as well. That not good evidence.
@Hunter Hestekin
It's not about those who refuse to repent, Paul says show evidence of your repentance by your deeds or how you live.
Very good point, thank you for sharing!
The person in the situation you describe can offer his condition up to God the Father as a spiritual sacrifice in union with Jesus for reparation for sins and the salvation of souls.
Well said brother Bob wilkins, spot on in every passage.
Johns gospel is a evangelist book, also, in ( 1John 5:13)
Its says we can know we have everlasting even beliveing on his name.
Just wanted to share that passage as well
God bless🙏🙏👍
Yes and believing on His name means believing the record that Jesus gave us eternal life
Yes, we believe - we believe in Jesus’ finished work on the cross - His death, burial and bodily resurrection for our justification, shedding His perfect blood as payment for our sins.
Because we believe in His SACRIFICE, we have the promise of everlasting life.
If someone doesn’t understand the Gospel, 1 Cor 15:1-4 (not John 3:16), and they subsequently don’t believe in His sacrifice, they don’t have everlasting life simply because they claim a promise. That’s the same thing as saying a person is saved because they said a prayer.
Agree 100% that “we” aren’t the assurance of salvation. Our assurance that we’re going to Heaven to be with the Lord for eternity is that we’ve believed the Gospel, thus receiving everlasting life.
1) We hear the Gospel - 1 Cor 15:1-4
2) We believe the Gospel - 1 Cor 15:1-4
3) We’re sealed with the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption of the purchased possession (ourselves). Eph 1:13-14
Faith in a promise isn’t what saves. Faith in the shed blood of Jesus and His death, burial and resurrection for our justification is what saves. THEN we have the promise of everlasting life.
We need to make sure the object of our faith, trust, belief are in the correct place. And, that’s Christ Himself and what He did. We have the promise because we’ve believed in what He did for us. 👍
I thank God every day for salvation and that salvation is as easy as believing God's word. I mean if you can't trust God who can you trust?
Thank You Jesus for Paying for All my Sins Thank You Jesus for Shedding Every Last Drop of Your Perfect Redeeming Innocent Blood For The Forgiveness Full Remission of All my Sins Thank You Jesus for Dying in my place on The Cross ✝️ ❤To Pay for All my Sins as The Perfect Sacrifice because You have No Sin Thank You for Being Buried Thank You Father God For Bringing Jesus BACK ALIVE 3 Days After His Death because He Is The Son of God and God At The Same Time!!! I LOVE You Heavenly Father ABBA I LOVE You Jesus I LOVE You Holy Spirit Not 3 Different Gods But The 1 The Only True Living GOD Most High Revealed to us in 3 Ways ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
O.k. Monica, you got the facts about Jesus right....now receive the Life of Christ, so that you may have eternal LIFE.
@@Europeangardens You don't think she believes in Jesus? Why?
@@sandragambrel9721 She may be saved...or not, just like everybody else who say they believe "in" Jesus.
But believing in Jesus doesn't save. Believing "into" Jesus saves. The Greek word EIS has 2 different meanings. #1 EIS can mean "in," or #2 EIS can mean "into." The early interpretators used the word "in" instead of "into" when translating the bible. Maybe because they weren't born of God and therefore didn't have spiritual discernment?!(Devils tactics).
Here's an example....One person believes "in" the ocean by observing it from the shoreline, while another believed "into" the ocean and became immersed with it. Big difference. John 3 16 is .." whosoever believeth"into" Jesus should not perish...." The Recovery bible version corrects these. You have to believe "into" Jesus for salvation. Have to yield "into" life eternal (which is Jesus) and not just say you believe while standing away from Life eternal.
And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. John 5 40.
@@Europeangardens My Bibles say "in", not "into". Both John 3:15 and 16. 3:18 says believe "on" Jesus. What does that mean? Jesus says in John 6:29, "This is the work of God, that we believe on Him whom He hath sent". "In" and "into" are both prepositions.
@@sandragambrel9721
Are you saved from an eternal hell fire? (which if apart from Christ we all deserve).
She who is Forgiven Much LOVES Much!!!!!!!!!!!!
God knows when you truly believe and at moment your are reborn and saved not of yourself but of God
how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV
Because, Jesus says so
Believing in Christ entails commitment to Christ, trust in Christ, allegiance to Christ. God transforms us, though we are not perfected until Christ returns. The Scripture that Wilkins selectively quotes to his own ruin also says:
"Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,
nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God." (1Co 6:9-11 NAS)
And again:
"Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions, envying, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you just as I have forewarned you that those who practice such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." (Gal 5:19-21 NAS)
Wilkins and his fellow "free-grace" (their term) advocates claim one and even deny Christ and persist in unbelief and rebellion against Him and yet receive eternal life because of a temporary false faith. But Jesus says: "Everyone therefore who shall confess Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father who is in heaven.
But whoever shall deny Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven." (Mat 10:32-33 NAS)
Hi how are you doing 😊
And the Bible says all of our rightoueseness is but filthy rages before the creator That's why that when you trust you believe in JESUS he gives you the most important gift you will ever get It says in 1 John that when you believe the testimony concerning His Son That He gives us eternal life and that life is in His Son!!!BLESS YOU BROTHER and this is where I got my assurance at it says that there 3 that bear witness in Heaven The Sprit the water and the blood! So when I read that the scales feel from my eyes!!! If the HollySpirt wasn't bearing witness of that truth that is inside me I couldn't believe that report!!! And I thank GOD when I'm called away I will be in the prescent of my Lord and Savior JESUS CHRIST!!!(Greg)

Please Pray For me I CANNOT STOP SINING I TRY AND ALWAYS COME BACK TO ANGER AND LUST 😢😢😢I BELIEVE JESUS CHRIST PAID THE PRICE FOR SINERS LIKE ME BUT I JUST KEEP DOING WHAT WRONG IN GODS SIGHT 😢😢😢
Romans 4:5-8- But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. God doesn't need your rags or attempts at righteousness to save you. You are saved by Grace. This means its not something you earned, it's the unmerited favor of God. He says anyone who believes in him will never die, not anyone who believes and him and stops sinning. Your sin will bring the chastisement of God but you will not be condemned and cannot be condemned if you believe in Christ and what he has accomplished for you.
@@larryhoward-pl1pe
Amen my beloved, so beautifully said....
The Gospel is good news, because it is for the assurance God wants all people to have regarding their eternal hope (Heaven).
God will write His instructions upon your heart for this life, its his promise.
My encouragement to the one who wrote the confession is to rest from your labours and trust in the miracles God will do in you by faith....
In a symbolic way Jesus determined by the Spirit of God that the scriptures would testify how many healing miracles He did on the Sabbath...
Symbolic because as you rest He works in you...
Commit it all to Him by faith and believe...He loves us far more than we can understand...
The Spirit that justified you will perfect you....
He knows its what you want and He wants to give you what you want....thus ask.
John 3:8 NKJV - “The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
BELIEVE, that's all He requires from you.

What about the verse in James that presents us with the dilemma that even the demons believe and shudder?
*Why Aren't Demons Saved If They Believe the Gospel?* - Zane C. Hodges
th-cam.com/users/shortsDwJceWGMg9U
*Do Demons Believe the Gospel? - James 2:19* - Bob Wilkin
th-cam.com/video/qO0ZJgjBf94/w-d-xo.html
Does James 2:19 say that demons believe the gospel? Bob Wilkin of the Grace Evangelical Society looks at what demons believe. Is the faith of demons somehow different from faith in other parts of the Bible?
It sounds simple, why so many people get it wrong still
I found that 1 John 5:11 and 1 John 5:13 help me understand believing in Him for everlasting life as believing that Jesus has given us eternal life, which is exactly what is written in the record
But His identity is the guarantor of everlasting life to those that believe in Him for that life, that is, to those that believe that they have everlasting life from Him. How do we believe in the first place that we have eternal life from Him?
Men complicate everything they touch.... that's why God had to DO IT ALL! Praise the Lord.
Some look at everlasting life kinda like people who look to be saved so they do t go to hell. I’m going to live forever but they don’t realize everlasting life is Jesus Himself. We got a Savior that saved us because of His Grace and mercy and will under No circumstance lose none.
James Halliday!
What do u mean by the kingdom.(Earthly Kingdom?)
My problem is many times I’ve thought I believed something, but my actions showed I did not truly believe. Also the Bible shows it is possible to believe and have unbelief at the same time.
It would be good to rationalise the difference between belief and faith, I think this is what the book of James explains. Even demons believe. Faith is what you believe put into action. Can’t you tell someone’s beliefs via their actions? I think it could be best to analyse is there a difference between belief and faith

Without Faith, it is impossible to please God (Heb 11:6). By Grace, you are saved through Faith (Eph 2:8). This is the victory, which overcomes the world: Our Faith (1 John 5:4). What is this Faith in these verses? It is the Faith taught by the Catholic Church which Our Lord founded (Matt 16:18-19) and sent to teach all for salvation of souls until the end of the world (Matt 28:20, Mark 16:16).
To be saved, we must live by Faith in Jesus Christ (Gal 2:20) according to the teachings of the Church (Rom 6:17) and daily crucify the desires of the flesh, so that sin does not reign over our mortal bodies (Rom 6:12). St. Paul says, "You are slaves of the one you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience to Faith, which leads to righteousness (Rom 6:16)." Whoever sins belongs to the Devil and no one, who is begotten by God, commits sin (1 John 3:8-9).
Our Lord is the Head of His Church, which is His Body and His Bride, whom He saves (Eph 5:23), as He is the Good Shepherd who saves the sheep in His Only Fold (John 10:14-16, 27-28). That's why 'Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus (outside the Church, no salvation)' is a Catholic Dogma (Catechism #. 846). For further information on this, please watch The Forgotten Dogma: No Salvation Outside the Catholic Church by Father Isaac Mary Relyea on TH-cam. Why stay outside of His Sheepfold and risk your eternal salvation? Come quickly to His Fold before it is too late, so that you may hear His Voice, know and follow Him, and be saved by Him. Amen!

What do you feel when I drop a heart on this message? I assert from my experience in relationships with people and with God that. Both my emotions and my analytical mind benefit my faith in God. It is both beings in me that God created. In some ways, my emotions are stronger and vice versa. Have you ever seen anyone die/sacrifice/desire something to the end with logic / mind? I think they can do it even with emotions. It exists in human being. But the benefit is not to separate it, but to unite it for a pursuit that only God can see deep in the heart. V Therefore, He gave instructions when the disciples wanted to go and rebuke him because of that, He saw its near future.
Ironically, majority of Christians (Lordship people) seem to think they can be obedient enough, repent enough etc to have their salvation. Because if you ask them, they would say they are saved. They also would share the gospel this way- that a person not only needs to believe, John 3:16, but they also need to repent and obey. The gospel is under Siege.
I have a question. If I believe that I have everlasting life then I have everlasting life, right?
do you believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God? do you believ He died on the cross to take away our sin was buried then 3 days later was raised from the dead? if yes you are saved and scripture assures us of this belief that we are saved
Do people belive they are sinners first and then believe in Jesus God? Or just to belived Jesus God has promised you everlasting life for ever?
But what does it mean to truly believe?
He forgot to mention John 4:28-29. “Do not be amazed at this, because the hour is coming in which all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and will come out, those who have done good deeds to the resurrection of life, but those who have done wicked deeds to the resurrection of condemnation.”

*Once Saved Always Saved" (Eternal Security): Is It True?* - Bob Wilkin

Is "Once Saved Always Saved" (Eternal Security) True? Does the Bible Jesus teach "Once Saved Always Saved" (Eternal Security)? Bob Wilkin of the Grace Evangelical Society demonstrates from the Bible why "Once Saved Always Saved" (Eternal Security) is true, since we have Jesus' word on it and Jesus never lies.
My question is , why didn't you talk about the conviction of a sinner . No conviction, no salvation. We must be delt with about sin. Once we seek him out thru repentance and faith. He then gives peace to our souls. Yes it is an experience we go thru. It is the spirit than births us into the family of God.

John wants believers to be assured of salvation. First read 1 John 5:13
[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.
The argument John is making here is first that everyone who believes in Jesus has been born of God (the new birth) Next everyone who loves the Father loves those who also have been born again. How do we know we love God as well as those who are His?
John explains how a true believer will be living.
What is the evidence of a true believer that John is talking about? Read from 1 John chapter 1 through 1 John 5:12 where he describes how a true believer will be living.
A summary of those preceding verses.
1 John 1:6-7
(IF) we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.Ch.2:3-5
And hereby we do know that we know him, [IF] we keep his commandments.4He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. 9Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness.15Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. 16For everything in the world-the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-comes not from the Father but from the world. 17The world and its desires pass away, BUT WHOEVER DOES THE WILL OF GOD LIVES FOREVER.
29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.
1 John 3:4-10
Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness5But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.
7Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8The one who does what is sinful is of the devil,because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.
1John 5:1-4
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the father loves his child as well. 2This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. 3In fact, this is love for God: to keep his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, 4for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
What’s the difference between Catholic Church and Angelic church
It doesn’t really matter…the one thing to know is salvation is a gift by faith in the finished work of Christ.
To believe that you are saved by Jesus is not what it means to believe in Jesus. To believe in Jesus is to believe in who he says he is. If you believe he is the Truth, then all of his words are true and we need to know and believe all his words to the point that they are the truth we are living out of. This includes repentance, baptism, obedience, sowing, etc. I am not saying it's faith + works= salvation. I'm saying that repentance, baptism, obedience, sowing are Christ's teachings, which are what we trust if we trust in Him. Why would we ignore the directions of someone who is the Way to God and then expect to arrive?
Repent, be baptized, and let Christ live through you starting today.
This video is not in line with the scriptures, which DO say to examine yourself to know whether or not you are in the faith. See 2 Corinthians 13:5. It's very important to examine yourself. Do you see Christ utilizing your body and tongue? You need to. Submit today and let the Spirit lead you.
Um, Yes you are saying faith plus works = salvation.
@@ZandJ12345 Faith works at every opportunity.
Faith that works = Salvation
@@na-zu2ey you just can’t help but add works in there can ya?
@@ZandJ12345 Works are extremely important, for not all works are dead works. *Dead works* are useless. *Righteous works* are faith in action.
"Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
James 2:21-26
@@na-zu2ey when the Bible speaks of faith plus works, being made perfect through works, justified through works… it’s not talking about what one must do to go to heaven. Because you believe those passages are talking about being eternally saved, no wonder you believe works are necessary. I would believe that too if I thought the passages you quoted referred to gaining eternal life. But I don’t believe those passages are about that, I believe you are quoting them out of the context they are found in.
“To him who does not work but believes on Him, his faith is accounted for righteousness.” Works have absolutely nothing to do with going to heaven.

Very intense discussion here in comments section, works, faith, salvation,,, promise, I'm not very well read in Holy Word, so I wont even touch in there, I'm quite newbie in my walk with Christ, I don't want to divert subject of discussion on my testimony, just explaining I'm born again, once lost and found sheep, called my Our Lord Savior 🙏 just wanted to add not scriptural ( from reason I stated above), but something to ponder about from life,. Some while ago in Grace church I used to attend ( cause had to change location for my family) I heard beautiful testimony on behalf of older brother's mother, who all her life was typical catholic church goer, more from tradition then anything else, though her son didn't miss opportunity to introduce Christ as her personal Savior. It just couldn't "click" with her after years of programming in Catholic church,,,but this brother, her son never gave up praying for her and "smuggling" teachings. Finally the old then lady, and sick in hospital, weak from hard life, finally she received Christ as her savior not long before she died...we all have tears in eyes listening to this touching story, so in this real life example - this old lady obviously didn't have works, cause she was in bondage to old religious system, but she came to faith before she died, so - does she have eternal life or not? We can think of many similar examples, what about real bad sinners on death row for example, which met gospel in prison and accepted it truly before he died? What about man on cross which hung beside Christ, ? I can multiple examples but point is the same,
I was lost in New Age philosophies, but always deep down felt protection and hand of Christ (was raised in Catholic church, but couldn't deal with it and rebel ), Lord himself called me back and I'm so grateful no words can describe, but it's process of deprogramming from all falsehoods and Holy Spirit leading ppl to sanctification, it's not like eastern mysticism - working your way to enlightenment, or have some satori moment and glowing, it's different for everyone, but we trust our Lord He does work in our hearts and minds. I can say for myself that I see big difference between myself year ago and today, and still it's lots of work until I die, but I know I'm in God's hand and no matter what happens He has me. Ofcourse I want be best as possible, but it's not possible in this world. We all make mistakes, apostles were having problems, demon in Peters was rebuked by Christ, Peter turn from Lord twice, many apostles didn't understood Christ at first and they were far from perfect, but in the end they died for faith.... it's only logical, if we Love our Savior, we want to bring Him best testimony through our lives, but to be on guard and thinking perfection is more in tune with eastern mysticism then Christ, which came for lost and sinners, not to perfect ppl which wouldn't need salvation then right? Call me stupid, but that's how I understand it ...
@Alvin Fen Thank you so much for this beautiful lesson 🙏🕊️💚 I still can't and can comprehend this amazing Grace, Gift of Him, who called me out from my weird life as once lost and found sheep of His 💝
@@karolinaszczudlo9871Jak przetłumaczyć "believing in Him (Jesus) FOR everlasting life"??
It's a silly question. The world was died for by Jesus. How do I know that Im saved.(??) Well if you believe then you're forgiven then you 'know" your saved. If you don't believe then you don't know; but ALL are forgiven. Most Christians don't believe all are forgiven.
Good comment.
So how is one saved if they lived before Jesus? How is one saved if they never has access to a Bible?
That is still not an answer.
@alvinfen4511
It is Christ's grace that saves, not works. However, He bestows this grace and salvation on genuine (not false) believers with a saving faith expressed through the loving care and charity shown to others.
Christ condemns hell believers who don't care about or help the sick, prisoners, and poor.
“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven...
Matt 7:21-27
... ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’...
Matthew 25:31-36
What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to them, “Depart in peace, be warmed and filled,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit?...
You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only...
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
James 2:14-16
@alvinfen4511 Only God knows who goes where. "Judge not lest ye be judged." -Jesus
What is certain from what Christ and the apostles wrote is that if you go on sinning on purpose (without repentance) and not helping the poor, you will sow what you reap. Goodbye
Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers...nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Cor 6:9,10
What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under grace? By no means! Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one you obey-whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death, or to obedience, which leads to righteousness? But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you have come to obey from your heart the pattern of teaching that has now claimed your allegiance.
Romans 6:1,2, 14-17
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’-and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked..."
Rev 3:15-17
And which of you, having a servant plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, ‘Come at once and sit down to eat’? But will he not rather say to him, ‘Prepare something for my supper, and gird yourself and serve me till I have eaten and drunk, and afterward you will eat and drink’? Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded [a]him? I think not. So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, ‘We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do.’ ”

@alvinfen4511So now you resort to personal attacks because you're in the wrong about salvation, in my opinion. Not very Christian is it?
Please go away. I feel harassed by you. I'm blocking you
Why does Paul say he has a new unknown better mystery gospel? What can I learn about the Cross work of Jesus Christ in the Book of John? I notice you do not speak or boast in the Cross of Christ either.
It is beyond my understanding how this man claims to be a minister of God. My point is that he titled his video " How To Do I Know That I'm Saved". He never once went to a scripture that directly addresses his title. 1st John chapter 3 verse 14. Thats how you know. Romans chapter 5 verse 5 explains how you can love the brethren. I implore all so-called believers to examine your hearts . Man looks at the outward appearance, but God sees the heart. If the Love of God is in your heart, then you know you know the you are saved. If it is not, then I implore you to seek for it with your whole heart.
But to believe in him can mean believing in many things about Jesus,so what specifically must we believe?
You must believe everything he taught, including who he said he is. You will know you believe him if you obey him.
Don’t listen to that fool above. We believe in Him for eternal life. 1 timothy 1:16 “However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life.”
It’s believing what he said in John 3:16, that you will never perish that you have eternal life. Do your believe that? Do you believe you will never perish because you believe in Him? Or do you believe you must also deal with your sin? Or be a committed follower? ….
Believing in Him is defined by the context.
@@ZandJ12345 No, we must hold to all of His teachings and obey Him, not believe only that we can have eternal life.
"Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him." John 3:36
"Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son." 2 John 1:9
"If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love." John 15:10

Please Help me I Believe Jesus Is The Son of God and God The Son of The Holy Trinity I Believe Jesus Shed His Blood and Died in my place to Pay for All my Sins He was Buried Then 3 Days Later Jesus Arose From The Dead!!! Am I still Saved because of my faith in Jesus or am I Not Saved because of my Sins? Am I born again because of my faith in Jesus or is there something more I need to do? Thank you for All your Help and Time God Bless you
If you have believed the gospel, then yes, you are saved. Sin can sever your fellowship with God, but not your relationship. Once you are saved, it is forever. Do not listen to anyone who says otherwise.
How do I know I am saved?
If you have to ask that question, chances are you aren’t saved
The answer to the question is…
New birth, born again
broke away from Calvinism years ago then attended Arminian church both bad wrong then joined Anglican Church to find a bit of solace in liturgy and Eucharist even if episcopal are off the charts in wokesterland anyway there are few that present the one true gospel seems 95% do not. Paul said there’d be a great falling away didn’t he.
What does it mean when he said if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out because it is better to enter heaven without an eye?
Jesus was just trying to make a point to them that they needed a savior.
Whatever causes you to sin get it out of your life.
If you have the Holy Spirit, then you can be sure. Only then.
And where’s the cross?
The work is to deny your self take up your cross and follow him and go make disciples if we are not doing these things we not born again meaning not saved true believers in Jesus sacrifice for sin is a disciple of his 6:31
What if you stop believing?
That was good Alvin. 👍 And if I may add?. For Jeffrey,,,Check out and learn about who you are in Christ. Check out your new identity in Christ Jesus. Paul mentions them all over his letters. You can also do a search and find lists of who you are in Christ. 👍🎶
My mistake Alvin,,the second half of my comment was meant for Jeffrey, I just edited it. 😁
If you stop believing you are damned.
Outstanding video! God bless you!! You are awesome!!!
Three & only three entities accuse or convict of sin:
1) Satan
2) Other believers (far too many “Christians”)
3) Yourself
The Holy Spirit convicts those who do NOT BELIEVE in Jesus of sin (John 16:9). He convicts the believer of righteousness (John 16:10, 20:27-31)
The Holy Spirit convicts true repented believers of sin.
Anyone who rejects repenting of sin doesn't have the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:38
Satan does not convicted you of sin he does just the opposite he tells you the sin is OK, its not hurting anyone, everybody is doing it and things like that.
That's why he's called the father of lies, the deciever.
The Holy Spirit did come to warn the world of its sin.
The Holy Spirit if he's dwelling in you will convict and try to steer away from the enticement.
@@dc-wp8oc
I agree
To believe and have faith in Jesus is obeying ... The Greek word is Pisteuio and means just that.
When we rely simply on the English version of believe, our faith can become transactional. Pisteuō is not a transactional term. It smacks of following (i.e., adhere to). Jesus didn’t invite people into a transaction. He invited people to follow him. Transactions tend to be clean and clear-cut. Following is messy (ask the original disciples!). Transactions are not relational. Following is highly relational. In my observation, western Christianity tends to lean transactional.
That’s because there was a transaction made, the death of Gods only begotten Son. Is this transaction not enough? or will you rely on your flesh to save you, knowing that no man is good and all fall short of the glory of God?
And what does it mean to obey Jesus? Jesus made it very clear, to believe in Him and love your neighbor as yourself.

If we truly believe in Jesus we will obey Him.
We are not going to Heaen because we are saved. We are going to Heaven because we are forgiven.
We are saved by trusting in the Lord Jesus death, burial and resurrection for the forgiveness of our sins.
The Gospel by which we are saved is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins that we read in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
Ephesians 2:8-9 says that our salvation is THE GIFT OF GOD and that we are saved by grace through our faith and not according to the sins we do not commit or the so called good we do.
We are saved by first repenting of sin followed by water baptism and then we will receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Without repentance there is no forgiveness of sin and we cannot receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
@@2Chronicles714_
Repentance means to change our minds.
If you believe that you are saved by repenting of your sins and being baptized than you have not believed the Gospel!
The Gospel by which we are saved is the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins.
This is what one believe unto salvation!
If you prefer the book of Acts to tell you how we are saved then I recommend Acts 4:12 that says,
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Or,
Acts 16:30-31 where the jailer asked how he can be saved and they said believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shall be saved.
Notice the disciples did not say to repent of your sins and be baptized?
@@Adam-ed6vm
You stopped at Acts 16:31 read next 2 verses Acts 16:32-33
And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
What was the word of God they spake to the jailer? We can surmise it was
to repent of sin since the next scripture says the jailer and all his were water baptized. We know Peter or Paul would only water baptize as the final part of repenting of sin.
33And he took them the same hour of the night, and washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.
Paul again
Acts 22:16
And now why are you waiting? Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
This scripture is as close as any one scripture can be to the gospel in a nutshell.
Acts 2:38
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
1 Peter 3:20-21
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. 21The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Remember even Jesus was water baptized to set an example for us.
Matthew 3:14-17
But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me? 15And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him. 16And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 17And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Water baptism is the burying of the old sinful man and the rising of the new man.
@@Adam-ed6vm
Jesus nor Peter or Paul ever said Trust in Him for the forgiveness of sins.
They all said Repent.
False teachers have changed Repent to Trust.
Two different meanings.
Jesus's first command when He started His earthly ministry was Repent.
Mark 1:15
The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”
Matthew 4:17
Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.
Peter: Acts 3:19
REPENT YE therefore, and be converted believe), that YOUR SINS MAY BE BLOTTED OUT, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord.
Acts 11:18
When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.”
Peter warns
2 Peter's 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, but that ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE
Peter is clear REPENT OR PERISH just as Jesus said in Luke 13:3
Paul
Acts 17:30
And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent.
Acts 20:21
Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.
Acts 22:16
And now why tarriest thou? arise, and be baptized, and wash away thy sins, calling on the name of the Lord.
Acts 26:20
But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
How to be saved
Repent of sin.
Believe by faith that Jesus died was buried and rose again for our sins.
Be water baptized to complete repentance by the burying of the old sinful man and the rising of the new.
Receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The only way to obtain grace is to repent of sin then by doing so we show the fruit of being a true believer.
To believe is faith produced by repentance.
@@2Chronicles714_
You are adding a doctrine where none is!
There is no repenting of sins anywhere in the NT.
My question is why are you adding a requirement where none is concerning how one is saved?
We are saved by trusting in the Lord Jesus death, burial and resurrection for the forgiveness of our sins.
The Gospel we read in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 is in disagreement with you!
Do you ever speak of (or care) about the cross work of Jesus Christ at all? I really do want to know. I am not trolling you.
*Catholic View of the Thief on the Cross on Salvation and Discipleship* - Bob Wilkin
th-cam.com/video/YpVkg54RzsQ/w-d-xo.html
Catholic apologist, Dr. Douglas Beaumont, claims that the experience of the Thief on the Cross supports Catholic teaching that faith plus works are required for salvation. Dr. Beaumont argues that the Thief on the Cross passage support the following:
1. The Thief on the Cross was under the Old Covenant.
2. The Thief on the Cross might have been baptized.
3. The Thief on the Cross is an edge case.
4. The Thief on the Cross is only one salvation example.
5. The Thief on the Cross did exhibit faith and works.
Bob Wilkin of the Grace Evangelical Society examines these 5 points and shows that the experience of the Thief on the Cross supports salvation by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone for the free gift of everlasting life and the reward of ruling and reigning with Jesus for confessing Him.
*Should We Only Present the Core Essential Gospel (believe in Jesus for Everlasting Life)?* - Zane Hodges
th-cam.com/users/shortssxzk6ZxAfRw
One of the misconceptions of Focused Free Grace Theology, is that when evangelizing, we should only present the core essential Gospel, believe in Jesus for everlasting life. Zane Hodges during the 2001 Grace Evangelical Society National Conference answers this objection, and explains how it is helpful in evangelizing to know what core essential Gospel is.
I'm not saying what you should or should not do. I just wanted to know if you think the Cross work of Christ has any salvation meaning?
If the enemy can confuse or trick you, you will not be going to heaven.
As long as you believe in Jesus Christ and are relying on him for salvation then the enemy could trick you and it would not stop you from being saved
I Believe In My Heart the only reason why I go to heaven is because of what Jesus did on the cross his work of Salvation not mine any good that I do would be a reflective of the new nature that I have
SO I INFER THAT FAITH/BELIEVE IS A SYNONYM FOR OBEDIENCE WHICH YOU CALL WORKS -
so the evidence of one's character is that one believes (has faith in) in Jesus Christ -
To know one is saved one must not introspect or look within (one's works) but just BELIEVE that "God so loved the world that He.... that whosoever BELIEVES...."
