Amen! Christ did not die for us to "lower the bar". He died for us because we were under penalty of death and needed saving. He didn't come for moral support, to give a helping hand or a leg up. He came to pay the debt in full because we have nothing to offer on our own behalf. He is a mountain of gold, and we don't even have pennies to offer. Lord Jesus, thank you for the free gift of my salvation. I accept your free gift, and I will not dishonor you by trying to pay for it.
Thank you Pastor. Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose the third day. BELIEVE and put your trust in Christ ALONE and you will be saved. PRAISE JESUS!
Members of mainline Protestant churches do believe that at the end of life, God will weigh their good works against their bad works and if the good outweighs the bad, they’ll get into Heaven.
Excellent Word, Sir!! I was one of the ones that thought they were saved but was not. I labored for many years, in vain, trying to earn heaven. 2015 I understood the truth of salvation. PRAISE GOD!!! He alone saved me!! I noticed that your suit and the microphone are the same color. It kept blending in and therefore disappearing!! It is a silly thing to notice but it made me chuckle. Yankee is right that it doesn't take much to entertain some people. I'm some people.
This is one of the best sermons you will ever hear in which it is clearly presented what the 1 requirement is to go to Heaven instead of hell. And it is very doable for everyone.
35:00 MacArthur says “a faith that is void of submission is merely intellectual faith and sometimes appropriately called Easy-Believism. Easy believism is the view that saving faith is a solely human act. Those who adopt such a view must then scale back the definition of faith so that believing is something even depraved sinners are capable of”. Romans 5:8 - “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” Romans 5:8 KJV “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 KJV There doesn’t seem to be anything in the Bible about Jesus dying for the non-depraved, or the non-sinners. And it doesn’t say anything about faith or believing only being available to those who aren’t depraved. Bible seems to teach that all our depraved, Jesus died for all, and faith in Christ is enough for all of us. MacArthur teaches contrary to the Bible. Excellent work, great sermon!
Excellent! You are one of the few pastors who is bold enough to proclaim this truth! What has happened to our churches!? I hear that lordship salvation is being taught in the majority of our seminaries and Bible colleges today. I guess that explains a lot!!!😞
So true. Lordship salvation is taught everywhere nowadays, sadly. Producing a bunch of Pharisees and Judiazers...self-righteous, works-righteousness obedience works for proof of salvation false gospel.
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 Jesus for Coming Back ALIVE 3 Days After Your Death because You Are 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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Superb, straight down the line Gospel presentation and refutation of the sneaky attempts to mix in works we often find in the professing church. Faith alone in Christ alone saves and guarantees Heaven.
I thank my sister Jean for faithfully keeping me in church and believing in the Lordship of Jesus Christ. Her faithfulness is still a blessing to me. God please take care of her.
It’s so simple yet so difficult when you first realize the magnitude of the gift and that God did not count on mankind to accomplish it… Overwhelmingly beautiful… Can’t tell you how much I appreciate the breakdown of this message and brought beautiful clarity to it… Praise God!
THXs father for your preaching So much on me to open my eyes How we start my salvations with good intentions to make my Lord happy on HIS lifepath without being interrupt nor complaint not controlling even try to ignoring HIS words May God always let me on HIS say by lead me into pure words path Ameen🙏🙏
I was taught incorrectly- it really set me back for a number of years. Had the Book of James crammed down my throat. It’s why I turned my back on Jesus. Things are different now that I don’t read James or listen to sermons about him.
The book of James it talking about active faith once you become a believer. See Pastor's series on the topic. th-cam.com/play/PL2B4ebzvFXJCj_oyz4ael4yJHRifJfM-E.html
@@DJ-il8iv If you've trusted that Jesus Christ paid for you sins then you are saved. It would be a merry go round if you couldn't know you are saved. If you had to do good works to be saved then you for sure would not know your saved. Good thing the Bible says we can know! 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. Watch Pastor's series on James and you will understand how it fits and why there's no need to ignore it and that it does NOT contradict being saved without works. th-cam.com/play/PL2B4ebzvFXJCj_oyz4ael4yJHRifJfM-E.html
@@jjsmoley Yep, the simplicity of Christ eliminates all confusion. If you somehow think you have to merit salvation through signs or works, then salvation is definitely a merry go round.
Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and to good works. :25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting(=strongly encouraging or urging someone to do something.) one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.
This sermon is spot on. Please watch. Especially if you are not saved…watch this and believe the one true Gospel. If you are a confused and blinded pew warmer sitting in some Arminian or Calvinistic church, you too need to believe the one true Gospel and stop funding and helping heretical teaching.
Justification is immediate upon belief in the Lord Jesus Christ alone for our eternal salvation. Only Jesus Christ is God manifested in the flesh and worthy of making the death payment as the world's sinless substitute. We are sealed with the free gift Holy Spirit until the day of redemption. Only Christ's imputed righteousness makes us perfect in the eyes of God. Final justification is a big fat lie of the devil!
This would have been a great message to add the book of James in explaining what James meant by justified by works and saving faith how it does not contradict Paul's teachings.
I just listened to this today. Something I have heard to often in the past and today Pastor; you said something countering that. You said that Jesus Christ could not sin. Because he is God and God does not sin, does not lie. Many of the false teachers claim Jesus could have sinned and they even claim Jesus did not have the Holy Spirit until he was baptized by John.
Jesus did not get baptized to receive the Holy Spirit! Jesus Christ is eternally the second personage of the Trinity. The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are equally divine, co-eternal and co-existent, and distinct. God is one God revealed in the three personages of the Godhead. There are plenty of passages in the Bible making Christ's eternality, divinity, and sinlessness clear. He could not pay for our sins if Jesus was not all of those. I would suggest you watch this: Why Was Jesus Baptized? | Dr. Ralph Yankee Arnold | BBN: th-cam.com/video/Bv5pUTJNfG4/w-d-xo.html
There is also a passage that may answer your question about Jesus' baptism, Matthew 3:15. Jesus wanted to get baptized by John because He needed to *fulfill all righteousness*. So this also proves that water baptism is a work of righteousness, so its a really great verse against cults that teach baptism for salvation. Plus, titus 3:5 with matt 3:15 showing it is a work of righteousness, and works of righteousness do not save; 1 corinthians 1:17-18 Paul said he came not to baptize but to preach the gospel, and even said that he is thankful he didn't baptize?! But wait, I though acts 2:38 is the gospel, I'll let you figure this out; And 1 peter 3:21 is funny cuz its their proof text that says baptism "saves you", but not in a way they think cuz it just said in the parenthesis (which they deliberately ignore) "NOT putting off the filth of the flesh", meaning it doesn't wash away your sins no matter how many times they bring up acts 2:38 (its to Jews, look at every other passage how Gentiles got saved. The book of acts is a transitional book called the "ACTS OF THE APOSTLES"), if they don't agree with you that filth means sin, show them 2 cor 7:1. I hope this is a blessing. God bless you!
Devil is really going to work with worship salvation and that would repentance is tripping everybody up thank you for this message if Jesus Christ can’t save me, there’s no hope for me up on my work so by me. I am my worst enemy
James taught that works are required for Salvation. Jesus also taught - No Works - No Salvation. “Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons. For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’ “Then they will reply, ‘Lord, when did we ever see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and not help you?’ “And he will answer, ‘I tell you the truth, when you refused to help the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were refusing to help me.’ “And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.” The Book Of Matthew Also, the man who was given a talent and buried it was rejected by God because he didn't do any works. The Book Of James 2:20-25 "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?" The false church denies these important teachings, even contradicting Jesus our Lord. 2 Peter 2:1 But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them-bringing swift destruction on themselves.
Romans 3: 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
@@jjsmoley why do you think Jesus said if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out because it is better to lose your eye than end up in hell for sinning?
@@Myjesus-1 If you read that passage that you reference in Matthew 5 you will see that Jesus is trying to get people to understand that sin is not about outward actions, it's about inward thoughts / the heart. The passage is illustrating that even the thought of evil deeds is sin, being angry, lusting after another woman that's not your wife, etc are just as sinful as the actual acts of killing and fornication. If we took that passage literally then we all should have gouged out both eyes and lobbed off both hands because there's not a one of us that hasn't sinned. So this passage is not talking about how you make it to heaven or hell. Rather getting people to understand how sinful they really are so that they will trust in Christ as their savior instead of trying to do it on their own. Besides, you can still sin without your body parts.
Romans 4:2-3 KJV - For IF Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
3/4 of the Bible was written to Jews, pre and post tribulation Jews. Not to the Gentiles. We have the church age of grace. They can have grace if they switch teams and follow the true Messiah, Jesus Christ. Amen! This is why it's soooo important to rightly divide the word. We can't apply every verse to the Christian life. It's isn't written that way by Holy Spirit. Open your Bible and study it.

I find James Chapter 2 , verses 20 to 26 VERY confusing , whilst trusting Jesus Christ alone for my salvation ( John , Chapter 6 , verses 37 to 47 is basic for me ) . This writing of James appears to conflict with Ephesians , Chapter 2 , verses 8 and 9 . A light on this please .
James is not talk about salvation. It's written to believers and is describing how to show others that you have faith. See Pastor's series on the subject. th-cam.com/play/PL2B4ebzvFXJCj_oyz4ael4yJHRifJfM-E.html
Btw, are you aware that TH-cam is now throwing in ads before your video started? Or have you decided to monetize your channel? Just curious. I don't really care. I just hope that YOU will be getting the ad revenue and YT isn't just using your channel to further line their pockets.
TH-cam recently changes their terms of service and has now said they have the right to show Ads on all videos even if your are not monetizing your channel.
@@Northlandchurchstc OMGoodness, that's terrible. I'm so sorry they are using your channel. You've been such a blessing. Then since you're not receiving any monetary benefits from these ads, I'll just choose to SKIP ADS. Usually in order for a channel to benefit from them, the audience has to sit through the entire ad. By skipping them I'm not going to give YT any extra income.

Genuine question, where you say that we must be perfectly sinless to get into Heaven, what about Enoch and Elijah?
Elijah was saved by looking forward to God's promises about the cross
I believe he is sayung that we givto heaven in Jesus's perfection, not our own. We dont have the perfection, and we never would.
Why faith "only" can not save you! Re.: James ch. 2
James is not talk about salvation. It's written to believers and is describing how to show others that you have faith. See Pastor's series on the subject.

Btw, are you aware that TH-cam is now throwing in ads before your video started? Or have you decided to monetize your channel? Just curious. I don't really care. I just hope that YOU will be getting the ad revenue and YT isn't just using your channel to further line their pockets.
TH-cam recently changes their terms of service and has now said they have the right to show Ads on all videos even if your are not monetizing your channel.
@@Northlandchurchstc OMGoodness, that's terrible. I'm so sorry they are using your channel. You've been such a blessing. Then since you're not receiving any monetary benefits from these ads, I'll just choose to SKIP ADS. Usually in order for a channel to benefit from them, the audience has to sit through the entire ad. By skipping them I'm not going to give YT any extra income.
YT premium ad-free.
