🙏 Romans 3:20 KJV [20] Therefore by the [deeds of the law] there shall no [flesh be justified] in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. We are justified by faith in Jesus Christ (first) And our works that proceed us, it's both that is why Christ will judge us according to our (works) Revelation 20:13,15 KJV [13] And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were [judged every man] according to their [works.] [15] And whosoever was not found [written in the book of life] was [cast into] the [lake of fire.] James 2:26 KJV [26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so [faith] [without works] is [dead] also. Ecclesiastes 12:14 KJV For God shall bring every [work into judgment,] with [every secret thing,] whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
@@Servant44 Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
@@klausmkl That is not a verse about losing salvation if you don't do works. Salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone apart from works. If you trust in your works for your salvation, you will not be saved according to Scripture. Regarding the verse you quoted, Revelation already defined the definition of the lampstand in Revelation 1:20. The lampstand represents the 7 churches. Each candle represents one of the 7 churches. This particular candle that Jesus is referring to is the Church of Ephesus. He is not talking about individuals; He is talking specifically to Ephesus' candlestick. Jesus' warning was that if Ephesus refuses to repent and refuses to continue the good things that it started off doing, then Jesus was going to remove the Church from its place in His will. Moreover, a close study of Revelation 2-3 reveals that this is a prophetic passage about the entire history of the Church on Earth. Ephesus represents the first Church Age. This is the Apostolic Church age, where the Church was first established and laid down by the Apostles. They started off with passion and obedience to the Apostle’s instructions, but quickly reverted back into their old ways, which was one of the reasons why Paul rebuked the early churches in his writings in 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, etc. The Bible clearly teaches that salvation is a free gift of grace by faith in Christ alone. It teaches that you have no righteousness at all innately. On your best day, your righteousness is like filthy rags and falls short the glory of God. The Bible teaches that God is going to judge based on the whole law. You will either keep the whole law perfectly and be saved, or if you stumble on one point of the law then you are guilty of breaking all of it. The Bible teaches that you are saved at conversion and will receive the Holy Spirit as a seal of your salvation and keep the Holy Spirit for the Day of Redemption. A Christian cannot lose the Holy Spirit before that day comes. They are sealed.
@@klausmkl What does candlestick means? Revelation 1:20 King James Bible The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. candlesticks are churches. Who was the Lord Jesus talking to? Revelation 2:1 King James Bible Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; The church of Ephesus. What happened to the church of Ephesus? It was destroyed and be no more. This is what is means by "remove thy candlestick out of his place". It has nothing to do with personal salvation. Moreover, the seven churches in Revelation are also seven church period. The church of Ephesus is the first church period that the churches are established by the apostles. Many of the elders and church fathers are the students of the apostles. Therefore they are able to distinguish between true apostles and false apostles: Revelation 2:2 King James Bible I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: Now we are living in the final church period, the church of Laodicea. The Lord Jesus is coming to catch up the church very soon. This is a crucial time for us to examine ourselves: Are you truly saved? Did you put your faith on the Lord Jesus, His finished work on the cross and His precious blood ONLY for your salvation? Or are you trusting your own works for your salvation? God bless and Maranatha!
Our Salvation "isn't works based", but our Faith "is works based". We NEED Faith in order to be saved (Eph 2:8). . . - (James 2) makes it blatantly clear that our "faith can die". --(verse 17) says faith without works is dead, and this point gets repeated in (verse 20) --(verse 21) shows that our father Abraham was jutisified by works, which was before the Torah was given to Israel . . . So why should we be exempt from works of faith and acquire faith through slothfulness? Can sloth, being a deadly sin, achieve salvation? Can death and life reside in the same house? Absolutely not. --(verses 22-23) goes futher to explain that Abraham's "works" is what MADE his faith "perfect", which fulfilled the scriptures saying that Abraham "believed God and it was imputed unto him for righteousness". Then (verse 24) follows that up by saying that "we are not justified by faith only, but by works also", which means we can't have one without the other; both have to be intact in order for us to be justified. So "Abraham's works" was evidence to God that Abraham had "faith"; which signified his "belief in God"; this proves that belief CANNOT BE achieved through the mind alone, but by works also. Faith is not a "mere function of the mind" like the Christian world of today sees it, works HAVE TO BE INVOLVED in order to be a "believer". --then (verse 26) concludes the chapter by saying "as the body without the spirit is dead, so is faith without works dead also". Our faith is "works based", faith is the vehicle and works is the fuel, if we dont fuel up with works, our faith dies on the road[way]. **So (James 2) makes it CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT OUR FAITH CAN DIE, IF WE STOP "WORKING"!!! This also proves that our "SALVATION CAN BE FORFEITED!!!" Because multiple places in the New Testament specifically states that we are "saved through faith", and if our faith "DIES", that means its "NO LONGER EXISTENT", and if faith is non-existent, than Salvation is non-existent plain and simple. - Jesus touches on this "same exact subject" in (Rev 3:1-2) in the letter to the church at Sardis, he said "strengthen the things which remain: that are READY TO DIE: for I have NOT found your WORKS perfect before God". They were on the verge of dying. Those passages coincide with (James 2:22) where it says "works makes our faith perfect" along with (verses 17; 20 & 26) which says "faith without works is dead". Sardis' works was falling short of "perfection", their "FAITH WAS DYING"; due to a "work shortage". (Rev 3:5) indicates that the Lord was on the verge of "blotting members of Sardis out of the book of life", if they didn't repent and overcome their slothfulness in works. The "book of life" is the "citizenry" of the kingdom of God, if we don't acquire citizenship in God's kingdom, there's nowhere else to go. Even though we have to endure[work] till the end to be saved (Matt 10:22), Salvation is still a free gift, otherwise man would be able to boast of himself, but man has no power within himself, so he can't boast.
One of the more outstanding traits of people with faith is the doing of good works without the expectation of recompense. They simply can't help it. Its in their DNA. Not everyone that does good works has faith but everyone with faith does good works.
Grace through faith not by works during the church age. Not so after the Tribulation starts. It really does change but if you are in heaven, you don't have to worry about it. DURING THE AGE OF GRACE, WORKS ARE NOT NECESSARY. DURING TRIBULATION PERIOD THEY ARE.
What have you got to lose? Other than an eternity separated from God? If you believe, you have lost nothing, if you refuse grace, you have lost everything! 🙏✝️🙏
”Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”“ John 6:28-29 NKJV ”And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”“ John 6:40 NKJV ”Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.“ John 6:47 NKJV
I would be very careful that you are using great discernment here. One word that stands out to me in these passages is "sees." How does one "see" Jesus? By having a relationship with Him. Another word that stands out to me is the word "in." How does one get to be "in" Him? Once again, the relationship piece. Does God let everyone "in"? He does not. You must prove your faith to Him, by doing what He says. How does one know what He says? By having a relationship with Him.
Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
@@jamesfields4149 I just think saying that the kingdom of God can be inside you, but that doesn’t mean you will get into heaven is misleading. Matthew uses “kingdom of heaven.” Parallel passages in mark and Luke say “kingdom of God.” Likely matt did that as his book is mostly for the Jews who are skittish about using the name of God. This mans premise is you have to do works to enter heaven, then his example is people who did works who didn’t get to go to heaven…… Those people seem to think their ability to go to heaven is based on their works. If they had said, “but Jesus, we believe in you and your sacrifice for us as the perfect Son of God,” that’s the profession that shows you know Him. The PROOF of your relationship, knowing Him, believing in Him is seen in the works you should then do. Like I believe in gravity, so there are things I will and won’t do because of my true belief. Likewise, I believe in Jesus. He IS the messiah, so I will take up my cross daily to follow him, to die to myself, to be an ambassador of his kingdom to others, to be generous to the poor and widow, do justice, speak the truth and remain unstained by the world working out my salvation with fear and trembling as the Holy Spirit inspired both Paul and James to write. But doing those things of myself, I can accomplish nothing. I think his statement of being able to be a part of the Kingdom of God but not part of the Kingdom of Heaven is intentionally confusing, which is scary, as he is well respected, and it can lead people astray into a works based salvation. I see that God does deal differently with people in different times in the Bible, so in a way I’m dispensational, but this level of division is too far. My prayers are for all to come to know the Truth as the Holy Spirit intends.
@@jamesfields4149 truly not tryin to fight or anything, just talkin, but I forgot to mention this. What work did the thief on the cross do? All he did was recognize who Jesus was and believed. I don’t think Jesus was being tricky when he said, “today you will be with me in paradise.”
@@BlackhelmetapparelUS I agree. This is the first AND LAST time I listen to this guy. FYI, his distinction between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God is fallacious, as you rightly supposed. All major Bible scholars agree that the two mean the same thing and are interchangeable.
Salvation is granted to those who put their Faith in Yashai Christ and what he did for us in that cross, BUT Faith without works is Dead Faith... You need BOTH!!! Shalom 🤲🏾
This is why I always enjoy bible studies with others. I’m one of those people that when I read it I don’t always interpret it correctly because of the wording. I appreciate it when people like yourself break it down and make it a little more easy to understand. Thank you sir.🙏
Another great channel to watch is “Safe Harbor fellowship baptist church” he has a series called “ how to study the bible “ it is awesome. Not by opinion but by the word of God kjv1611
Yep, I believe there is a difference in the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God.... The 'kingdom of heaven ' phrase is never mention in any epistles or any books of the new testament after Mathew's recordings....i don't think that is by coincidence. You will not see the phrase "Kingdom of heaven" after Mathew's Gospel. The Kingdom of God is definitely different from the kingdom of heaven.❤❤❤
@@sramdeojohn4428 i hear you my friend I’ve become very conscience about certain things. I may not know why about a lot of things but the more I look there seems to be a big difference between faith and religion. I think maybe we all must decide for ourselves and if we truly have faith then God will see that we never stopped walking towards him.
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
ohn 6:29 King James Version 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. Just believe with all our hearts, like a child. Praise God for being so loving towards us. I'm a sinner saved by grace alone and i am so thankful to Gods tender mercies. Your boat is really coming on brother!! Refreshing to hear the word of God taught by someone who understands it . Love and blessings to all Jeff
Yes! Once the rapture happens then the kingdom of heaven gospel and a completely new dispensation takes over where works are required. We leave behind the gospel of grace completely. Im impressed that you understand this and teach it. Everyone i talk to screams at me for stating "ANOTHER GOSPEL. GOSPEL OF THE ENEMY". Then i know that person should study the Bible more. It is a special person that knows the difference. Thank you.
You should not accuse people of needing to study the Bible more. If the vast majority of Bible scholars cannot come to a truth through study, then it is not for lack of study that people don't find the truth. You're making a very big claim, and that's fine. Where can we find evidence that there will be a new dispensation? I suppose there have already been several dispensations, arguably even two at the same time (Jews and Gentiles before Christ died), so another dispensation shouldn't be too shocking, except that I'd need to see more evidence of it. This channel is new to me, so its a new concept to entertain the idea that kingdom of heaven and kingdom of God might be separate. But its a huge departure from anything we've heard in traditional Christianity.
If you say you have no sin you deceive yourself and the truth is not in you. We couldn’t earn heaven if we did good works for a billion years. Stay humble, Salvation is a gift only obtained by trusting in Christ’s shed blood on the Cross.
Brother, simply believing in Christ shed blood does not get anyone heaven unless the bears the fruit of salvation. One of the fruit saved person bears or produces or gives out is Good work or showing kindness to our brethren.!
@vijay85321 it is by the Grace of Christ and his sacrafice that is salvation had. Jesus said. No one cometh unto the Father but by Me. The works he is talking about is old testament. Before Christ. It was an altar sacrafice for sin back sin. Now that Christ made the Perfect sacrafice altar sacrafice is no longer needed.
@@vijay85321 You are wrong. The Bible clearly says believing in Christ is enough. Did the thief on the cross bear any fruit of salvation or did any works? If it’s true that you need fruits of salvation to get to heaven, how much do you need and how hard should you work to get to heaven? You do realize that you believe in a work based salvation which will send you straight to Hell. When the jailer was about to kill himself and Paul stopped him, he ran to Paul and Silas and asked them how to get saved Paul said “believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved” “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not the result of works, so that no one may boast.”
@@DCCentralComedy 😄! Lets presume What if the thief was alive continued to do his job of stealing even after knowing that he received salvation from christ.! Will he be in the kingdom of heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ? 🤣 This is why i tell you salvation is free for everyone through the grace of our heavenly father and love of ou Lord., our responsiblity is to protect the our salvation, by giving up the sin which was borne by our Lord and bear the fruits of salvation! Hope you understand what i said! Luke 13: 24"Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. Central comedy# our good deeds are not to boast off, but show the love of Christ! And these deeds are the fruits of salvation!
Good works are not enough, you must have love in your heart. Good works can be the product, will be the product of those given the opportunity of love in your heart. Love is the greatest, love for God, God's creation and everything around it. You must love people, places and things created by God.
Hello Nix: See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law: So, trying to enter the kingdom and be saved by works means NO Salvation. Our BEST righteous acts, for the purpose or earning or qualifying for salvation, are as FILTHY RAGS: Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved). Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law ARE UNDER THE CURSE; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.) The gospel (good news on HOW to be saved) of grace given to Paul only, and the ONLY Gospel available to ANY person today: The UNDESERVED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation), AS IF THE BELIEVER HAS NEVER SINNED. THERE IS NOTHING A PERSON CAN DO TO QUALIFY FOR, EARN, OR RECEIVE ANY PART OF SALVATION. ONLY because of God’s mercy and GRACE, he offers every person the UNMERITED FREE GIFT of Salvation that’s received by FAITH, plus Nothing. Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.” (GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.) Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved). BELIEVING the Gospel, (1 Cor. 15:1-4) with NO Faith on ANY Human Effort, is the ONLY way to Receive Salvation. Notice what is NOT included (works / human effort). Romans 4:5 (KJV), “But to him that worketh not, but BELIEVETH on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” (‘righteousness’ means God makes the believer sinless in God’s eyes concerning standing and salvation) Acts 16:30-31(KJV) - “The Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” Romans 3:28 (KJV), “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by FAITH without the deeds of the law.”
Just ordered those two books . I am saved by faith through grace but being able to talk to other people and explain the Bible is not my strength. Still studing . Still learning Still praying. Thank you for your videos and books.
The one thing that bothers me about listening to people about scripture is when they say I don't have time for that right now we all have time for everything we just need to stop smell the flowers and appreciate the sent
Thank you brotger Pearl. As a young boy trusting Jesus as my personal saviour I did not know these Kingdom's were divided as part of rightly dividing the scriptures. I undersrand much better at 69 today and with much thanks to your bible teaching on various subjects like this. I have your Kingdom book also. Thank you in Jesus name for all you have done and do.
Very good study Mr. Pearl! When someone studies the Bible for 50+ years you tend to know a thing or two, I won’t even entertain these arguments beneath me… 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 I’ve risen above that. I’m tired of it but I look toward my elders like big brother Pearl because this is a man that’s done his homework, now I do pray about it and I do pay close attention, we aught to be wise enough to go back and pray and study to see if Pearl is telling the truth, and he is it’s in there you just gotta read it for yourselves. Thank you brother! I can’t wait to meet you! We’ll be hangin around the tree of life in amazement of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and sharing testimonies from when we were here in this old world. I love you guys!
I am already being born again by baptism, Colossians 2:11-13, like Paul say’s, one lord, one faith, one baptism, one god and father of all Ephesians 4:5-6, and like apostle Paul continue to work out my salvation with fear and trembling, Philippians 2:12. from San Diego California, a native Filipino and was naturalize 2011
Hello Alehandro: Please be aware, the gospel of grace was given to Paul ONLY and is the Only gospel available to ANY person today: Salvation is received by faith trusting ONLY on Lord Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Believer is SPIRITUALLY Baptized into the body of Christ when they Believe only on Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Born-Again believer is Not trying to enter the kingdom, they will rule and reign over the kingdom. We are NOT under OT law, so we are not commanded to be water baptized; we are SPIRITUALLY baptized by God to make the Believer Born-Again (Spiritually Sinless): Romans 10:4 (KJV), “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” 1 Corinthians 12:13 (KJV), “For by one Spirit are we all (SPIRITUALLY NOT WATER) baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” Water Baptism cannot be part of HOW a person is saved / born-again. 1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV) - “For Christ sent me NOT to BAPTIZE, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of NO EFFECT.” See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law: So, trying to enter the kingdom and be saved by works means NO Salvation. Our BEST righteous acts, for the purpose or earning or qualifying for salvation, are as FILTHY RAGS: Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved). Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law ARE UNDER THE CURSE; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.) The UNDESERVED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation), Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.” (GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.) Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved). "work out my salvation with fear and trembling" means that ALL born-again believers will be given rewards based on good works, and they can be chastised by God if they are involved with practicing sin. Obtaining and/or keeping Salvation does not involve any works. Eternal Security for the born-again believer is true. A born-again believer CANNOT lose salvation. Believing that a born-again person can lose salvation means we approach God for salvation with faith on HUMAN EFFORT, and that means NO salvation. Ephesians 4:30 (KJV), “And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are SEALED unto the day of redemption.” John 6:37 (KJV), “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I WILL NO WISE CAST OUT.” 1 Peter 1:4-5 (KJV), “To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are KEPT BY THE POWER OF GOD through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.” John 10:28-29 (KJV), “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than ALL; and NO MAN is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.” 2 Corinthian 1:22 (KJV), “Who hath also SEALED us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.”
@@scott7684 I believe that Jesus was born of a virgin that he lived a spotless life that he went to the Cross to die for my sins and that on the third day he rose again and he sits right now at the right hand side of the father interceding for me I believe Jesus is God in the flesh and I believe the work that he did on the cross is more than sufficient to get me into heaven nothing that I can ever do can get me into heaven except for believing in Jesus confessing that he is Lord I'm believing God raised him from the dead
@@scott7684 Read Romans chapter five. For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.
If the title is making you uneasy i'd check the description, he clearly affirms that salvation is by grace through faith alone. this video is simply on the distinction between the kingdom of God vs the kingdom of heaven.
It's stuck in my brain I don't know all the right words but humming is my favorite part until the important part (Nothing But Blood Of Jesus)oh how I love him so.
True faith brings true desire to conform one’s life to Christ and one’s life conformed to Christ produces good works which brings salvation. So yes, through faith alone by grace. However, without the good works is there true faith?
"For God so loved the world he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but shall have eternal life." -- The Gospel According to John
read a few verses after those that don't believe are judged, and what is the judgment? They loved darkness rather than light. So there seems to be an element, that truly believing in God relates to living rightly
”Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.“ John 6:28-29, 37-40 KJV
First thing you’ve shared that I don’t think I agree with. Not that you need my approval or say so. I’m always open to new thinking of scriptures. If nothing else you’ve given me another view I’ve never heard to look into. Definitely open to the fact that I could be wrong. Excited to dig into these explanations. Always a great teacher whether we agree or not. Good Godly man.
Hello Michael --- Keep teaching brother!!! I am almost through your 8 Kingdoms book What amazing instruction! You have taught me to read the Bible slower and think more. Praise God!
Very Christian of you to laugh at people that maybe are new and trying to understand. Perfect example of someone that feels superior. Try selling that as doing good works and following Jesus. Love your neighbor as yourself. Love God with all your heart and soul. John said, "Any man that says he is without sin is a liar". You sir are a sinner and I am a sinner. If Jesus Christ just came to preach the ten commandments. Answer this one thing, what did he die on the cross for? I would also throw this out to followers of Mike. What credence do you give to Christ's parables? If so, why was Father so happy and set a banquet, new clothing, when the son knew he went into the world of sin and was broken by it. He only wanted to be a slave in his Fathers house. He was forgiven and his brothers were unhappy because they did good all along. How do you rectify?
@@rodleyeriffe9149 exactly 💯 that's why the Bible is so intriguing. Some people will never understand it even if they live to be a million. A lot of these comments are coming from seasoned Christians that have been into the word their whole life. They are believers. If they were non-believers It wouldn't be amusing.
Who is in the outer darkness that revelation speaks of? Could it be the saved apostates? There will be saved people kept from the flames but will be in outer darkness for how they lived their lives. So, anyone who thinks just because they're saved and can live their lives however they want they better think again. Blessings 🤗❤️
Hebrews says that when we believe we enter into God's rest and we rest from our works as God did from his. Good works are fruit of salvation they are not the xause of it. Christ's work on the cross is the one that saves us. Our good works are evidence of that salvation.
Its by grace God gives us good works since we our his handiwork producing goodfruit. But you cant lean on your own understanding and do works by your hands. But bless be your hands when you pray to the lord of the harvest to send you out as lambs among wolves. Pretty simple. So simply its by grace you are saved not by your own works so no man may boost.
Good thing we believers today are under the gospel of grace and not in that Kingdom of heaven, under the law. I thank God for our gospel of grace, but I praise him for what he has done and will do in the future for his people Israel.
Wow, I’m learning new things about the Bible everyday. I thought the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven where the something, but they are not. No one knows everything in the Bible.
Nice work Mike on that jet boat my brother just retired as the oldest sprint jet boat racer in the world at 76 his little boat put out 1500 horsepower. Thank you Mike for explaining right division I've been studying right division for a few years now with Shorewood Bible Church in Illinois I live in Idaho and so in the mountains, and there is not a right division Bible Church in my area, I sure enjoy your perspectives on right Division and it's always good to learn good perspective on it glory to God that he gives us a Bible that is meant to be studied that way and everything seems to start clearing up in the mind and in the heart even for an old raunchy bugger like me thanks again and nice work on that boat
God Bless you and your family in this New Year Pastor Pearl! I can not thank you enough for your teachings and explanations on things like this. It's like a blanket of hope cast over me. So many stressful questions answered by you! Thank you and God Bless!
The one thing never discussed on subjects like this is ... what about the others? We are commanded to love others as we love ourselves, or in modern speak, to not love ourselves more than we love others. How often do we hear "the saved" speak about their efforts to help the unsaved get right with God? We hear a lot about their personal "ticket to fly" and it begs the question "what about the others that don't have a ticket?" Will no one stand in the gap for them, when the going gets rough?" Christ went to the cross for others .. are we to just ignore that, as we with great pride battle over whether a person is saved by works/grace/or a combination of both? I wouldn't doubt if most ticket-holders will miss their Departure while consumed with winning this age-old question. What does it matter anyway? Have faith, have love for others, help those in need ... there is no law against love.
Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. Jeremiah 31:33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jeremiah 24:7 I will give them a heart to know that I am the Lord, and they shall be my people and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with their whole heart. Isaiah 45:8 Shower, O heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain down righteousness; let the earth open, that salvation and righteousness may bear fruit; let the earth cause them both to sprout; I the Lord have created it. Psalm 85:10-13 Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other. Faithfulness springs up from the ground, and righteousness looks down from the sky. Yes, the Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its increase. Righteousness will go before him and make his footsteps a way. 1 John 2:6 whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked. 1 Peter 2:21 For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. Matthew 10:38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
I always thought of the Kingdom of Heaven as the outworking of the Kingdom of God in otherwords the Kingdom of Heaven as the physical manifestation of the believers living out the Kingdom of God.
I actually noticed this in my Bible today. I can't find it now, but i think it said the rapture, and then in parenthesis (draw Jesus into the body of believers) or something. Which is exactly what He's been telling me. He may lift us up, but it's because we're pulling Him in. It's happening now. The Presence of the Holy Spirit is manifesting. 🥰
Hello Ranran: Peter was given the gospel of the kingdom, which is NOT in effect today, which offered salvation and the kingdom to primarily the Jewish people by faith. They were under the law but NOT saved by the law. No person can keep all of the law, so every person is fully condemned by the law. EVERY saved person in the history of the earth will be saved by GRACE (UNDESERVED GIFT) through FAITH, plus Nothing. The gospel of the kingdom: All they had to believe was WHO Jesus was/is: God the Son, the King, the messiah/savior; with that faith they would have salvation and the kingdom. The kingdom is the 1,000 year kingdom on earth that was, and will be, offered primarily to the Jewish people. Lord Jesus will rule over it, and the born-again Christians will be co-heirs and reign with Lord Jesus over the kingdom. The kingdom will be offered Again ONLY in the tribulation; that is when the gospel of the kingdom will be in effect. Matthew 24:14 (KJV), “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24 is conveyed concerning unbelieving people that go into the tribulation, because they were not born-again/saved under Paul’s gospel and removed at the rapture. The rapture was a mystery, unknown before Paul, and it was given to Paul only. The gospel of grace was given to Paul ONLY and is the Only gospel available to ANY person today: Salvation is received by faith trusting ONLY on Lord Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Believer is SPIRITUALLY Baptized into the body of Christ when they Believe only on Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Born-Again believer is Not trying to enter the kingdom, they will rule and reign over the kingdom. We are NOT under OT law, so we are not commanded to be water baptized; we are SPIRITUALLY baptized by God to make the Believer Born-Again (Spiritually Sinless): Romans 10:4 (KJV), “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” 1 Corinthians 12:13 (KJV), “For by one Spirit are we all (SPIRITUALLY NOT WATER) baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” Water Baptism cannot be part of HOW a person is saved / born-again. 1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV) - “For Christ sent me NOT to BAPTIZE, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of NO EFFECT.” See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law: So, trying to enter the kingdom and be saved by works means NO Salvation. Our BEST righteous acts, for the purpose or earning or qualifying for salvation, are as FILTHY RAGS: Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved). Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law ARE UNDER THE CURSE; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.) Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV), “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful WORKS? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Notice that trusting on WORKS for salvation and/or entering the kingdom means NO salvation). Believing, plus Nothing, is the only way to be saved. “Doing the WILL OF THE FATHER” is BELIEVING ON THE SON. John 6:40 (KJV), “And this is the WILL of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” HOW to be saved today and leave in the rapture; or be saved before the rapture when a person dies: Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.” (GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.) Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved). The gospel (good news on HOW to be saved) of Grace given to Paul only, and the ONLY Gospel available to ANY person today: The UNDESERVED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation).
It's both. It's really 3 things: 1. It refers to 2 physical places: God's Millennial Kingdom on this Earth. 2. God's Kingdom on the New Earth. 3. It's God's agenda including His personal connection to us (this refers to Luke 17:20-21).
WOW! Fascinating message, I’m going to research it myself for awhile and internalize it and digest it for a bit. Will come back later to provide an opinion once I’ve really thought it over. Haven’t heard this before
Everyone should please read the video Description. The "Kingdom of Heaven" is entirely separate from Salvation (the "Kingdom of God"), until after Jesus returns (because faith pertains to what is not seen). These kingdoms are 2 separate concepts as taught by Jesus.
I’m not sure with that, read Ephesians 2:10, what it says? or Philippians 1:6, 2:12, and Colossians 1:10, same apostle who wrote Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians.
@@alejandroumaslay3657 Salvation is by faith alone, not by works. We are called to do good works, but not to obtain salvation. Philippians 2:12 reads, “Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling…” This verse is often misused. Before I say more, verse 12 is not even a complete sentence, so let’s finish the thought and sentence by looking at verse 13: “…for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.” One of the reasons verse 12 is often misinterpreted is because the rest of the sentence is often not included with the interpretation. Verse 12 is often incorrectly used to say that Christians have to work out their salvation, which follows that one must do works in order to be saved. Of course that view would directly contradict our foundational passage of Ephesians 2:8-9. Galatians 3:21 says, “For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.” Galatians 2:21 says, “I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” If we could work out our own salvation, Christ would not have had to die. Philippians 2:12 therefore, is obviously not saying that. So what is Philippians saying? When we are saved, we are saved to do good works and to obey the Lord. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Philippians 2:12 is saying simply to do what we are called to do. “Work out your salvation” does not mean to work it out to obtain it, but rather work it out because you already have it. It is saying do what you were saved to do. According to the New Testament, we are not supposed work out our salvation in our own strength, but rather piggy-back on the strength of Jesus to do what He calls us to do. For it is God who works in us to will and to act according to His good purpose. Salvation is a cooperative commitment: both God and you are doing the work where, He is strengthening you to pull off what He calls you to do. “Fear and trembling” means that we are to take our salvation seriously. We are supposed to serve and obey the Lord in reverence in the strength that He provides. God’s goal for us is for us to become more and more pure and holy. Our spirits are perfect because Christ imputed His perfection to us. Working out our salvation is a process of making our souls more like Him until we receive our new bodies in our next life and are made complete and holy through and through.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 7:21 KJV And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:39-40 KJV Let scripture interpret scripture...🤷♂️
@@hex0rz1 I didn't think it necessary. It's just common, basic sense that God has many wills. There are unending amounts of passages that say "God's will," "His will" etc., go to a word search and type in "will" you'll see 3837 mentions-now of course most of them are verbs. But okay, here's two different verses about God's wills I just picked at random, Rev. 17:17 and 1 John 5:14. Now tell me, does God have these wills in mind when He's speaking to the folks there in Matt 7? No, but those are still His wills, God's will is, of course, for everyone to believe on Jesus but that's just one of His many wills, you can't isolate a verse that says "will" to make it always mean one "will" found in some other passage. I have no doubt John 6's will is "effectually" here in Matt but you're making it out like it's the one and only "active" will at the "forefront" when that shouldn't be so easily assumed as you got vss. 15-20 and vss. 24-27 encompassing vs. 22 in the immediate context
Hello Hex0rz: You are correct. Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV), “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful WORKS? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Notice that trusting on WORKS for salvation and/or entering the kingdom means NO salvation). Believing, plus Nothing, is the only way to be saved. “Doing the WILL OF THE FATHER” is BELIEVING ON THE SON. John 6:40 (KJV), “And this is the WILL of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law: So, trying to enter the kingdom and be saved by works means NO Salvation. Our BEST righteous acts, for the purpose or earning or qualifying for salvation, are as FILTHY RAGS: Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved). Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law ARE UNDER THE CURSE; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.) Peter was given the gospel of the kingdom, which is NOT in effect today, which offered salvation and the kingdom to primarily the Jewish people by faith. They were under the law but NOT saved by the law. No person can keep all of the law, so every person is fully condemned by the law.

John 6:47 (KJV) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that Believeth on me hath everlasting life." The kingdom is the 1,000 year kingdom on earth that was, and will be, offered primarily to the Jewish people. Lord Jesus will rule over it, and the born-again Christians will be co-heirs and reign with Lord Jesus over the kingdom. The kingdom will be offered Again ONLY in the tribulation; that is when the gospel of the kingdom will be in effect. Matthew 24:14 (KJV), “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24 is conveyed concerning unbelieving people that go into the tribulation, because they were not born-again/saved under Paul’s gospel and removed at the rapture. The rapture was a mystery, unknown before Paul, and it was given to Paul only. The gospel of grace was given to Paul ONLY and is the Only gospel available to ANY person today: Salvation is received by faith trusting ONLY on Lord Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Believer is SPIRITUALLY Baptized into the body of Christ when they Believe only on Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Born-Again believer is Not trying to enter the kingdom, they will rule and reign over the kingdom. We are NOT under OT law, so we are not commanded to be water baptized; we are SPIRITUALLY baptized by God to make the Believer Born-Again (Spiritually Sinless): Romans 10:4 (KJV), “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” 1 Corinthians 12:13 (KJV), “For by one Spirit are we all (SPIRITUALLY NOT WATER) baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” Water Baptism cannot be part of HOW a person is saved / born-again. 1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV) - “For Christ sent me NOT to BAPTIZE, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of NO EFFECT.” Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.” (GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT.

Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved). We CANNOT DO anything to DESERVE salvation, so trusting on Human Effort means NO Salvation. Salvation is an UNDESERVED GIFT received by Trusting in our Heart ONLY on the payment for all sins made by Jesus, God the Son who came as GOD in Flesh, with his death, burial, and resurrection. BELIEVING the Gospel, (1 Cor. 15:1-4) with NO Faith on ANY Human Effort, is the ONLY way to Receive Salvation. Notice what is NOT included (works / human effort). Romans 4:5 (KJV), “But to him that worketh not, but BELIEVETH on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” (‘righteousness’ means God makes the believer sinless in God’s eyes concerning standing and salvation) Acts 16:30-31(KJV) - “The Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” Romans 3:28 (KJV), “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by FAITH without the deeds of the law.” God makes the believer Permanently Born-Again (Sinless Standing in God’s Eyes), as if you have NEVER sinned; this is a one-time event. Notice it's NOT by Human effort. This is the SPIRITUAL WASHING that water baptism ONLY SYMBOLIZED: John 3:3 (KJV), “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born-again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 1:12-13 (KJV), “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons (children) of God, even to them that believe on his name. Which were BORN, not of blood, NOR OF THE WILL OF THE FLESH, NOR OF THE WILL OF MAN, BUT OF GOD.” Titus 3:5 (KJV), “NOT by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the WASHING OF REGENERATION, and renewing of the Holy Spirit.” Jesus is God the Son who came as God in flesh: Titus 2:13 (KJV), “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great GOD and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” (The Rapture) Colossians 1:15 (KJV), “Jesus is the image of the invisible GOD......" 1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV), “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD was manifest in the flesh." Isaiah 9:6 (KJV), "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
@@Isaiah_Cochran I understand what your saying and sympathize with you. But again, it is within context. Im not being all inclusive of "will" because they are not exclusive to the context of what this "will" is. If that were so, I would have said so. But the main theme is about entering the kingdom of heaven. The only "will" that applies here is that of spoken by Jesus in John. If God had a different "will" in mind, it would have been spoken of. Either: 1. The Father would not have sent his Son, and the conditions to enter the kingdom of heaven would be different. Or 2. The Son would have specified that believing on him would not be the condition to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again, connecting John's verse to this verse in Matthew, is the contextual answer. Shalom
Numerous Christians wrest this scripture unto their destruction. Isaiah 53:9 says Jesus did no violence ie. physical violence. Matthew does not mean PHYSICAL VIOLENCE but an aggressive spirit to understand peace and love. 😂🎉❤
John 6 : 29 Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.” All things are held together by Christ. Know the difference between dead works and dead faith. Will live by grace ALONE.
If you think heaven is ever lasting life , then you have eternity to work the father's will on earth. Faith is not a unmerited favor , there is a contingency of works.
Works without faith and faith without works are dead both ways. Our works cannot save us, but our works are meant to reflect Gods mercy, grace, and the salvation he freely gives to us all.
Hello TPB: Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.” (GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.)

James in not telling us they we MUST Do good works to prove saving faith. James said faith without works is dead. Dead means useless in regard to the work that a Christian should do; but is NOT required to do. James is speaking to Brethren, which are saved people. He is saying walking by a Christian that is destitute and doing nothing means your faith is useless in terms of work God wants believers to do. It does not mean that person is not saved. James 2:15-17 (KJV), “If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone." A born-again believer could have ZERO good works and would still be saved: 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 (KJV), If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.” The gospel (good news on HOW to be saved) of grace given to Paul only, and the ONLY Gospel available to ANY person today: The UNDESERVED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation),
The Bible doesn’t say:”by faith alone” but “…Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect”…that’s were the church got it wrong
@@davidrosen3736The bible repeatedly conveys that salvation must be received by faith alone, plus nothing, or it is not received. GRACE means there is NOTHING Any person can DO to qualify for, earn, or receive salvation, other than Trusting ONLY on the Payment made for ALL sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross. Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.” (GRACE means UNMERITED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.) Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved). Titus 3:5 (KJV), “NOT by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the WASHING OF REGENERATION, and renewing of the Holy Spirit.” BELIEVING the Gospel, (1 Cor. 15:1-4) with NO Faith on ANY Human Effort, is the ONLY way to Receive Salvation. Notice what is NOT included (works / human effort). Romans 4:5 (KJV), “But to him that worketh not, but BELIEVETH on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” (‘righteousness’ means God makes the believer sinless in God’s eyes concerning standing and salvation) Acts 16:30-31(KJV) - “The Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.” Romans 3:28 (KJV), “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by FAITH without the deeds of the law.” Genesis 15:6 (KJV), “And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.” Galatians 3:6 (KJV), “Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.” Lord Jesus repeatedly said Believing is the only element needed to receive salvation. John 3:36 (KJV), “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall NOT see life; but the WRATH of God abideth on him.” John 6:47 (KJV) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that Believeth on me hath everlasting life." John 6:40 (KJV), “And this is the will of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH ON HIM, MAY HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE: and I will raise him up at the last day.” ALL are condemned by the law: Romans 3:23 (KJV), “For ALL HAVE SINNED, and come short of the glory of God.” Romans 6:23 (KJV), “For the wages of sin is death; but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” OUR BEST RIGHTEOUS ACTS ARE AS FILTHY RAGS, in regard to qualifying for, earning, or receiving any part of salvation. Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as FILTHY RAGS; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law. Trusting on any works for eternal salvation means NO salvation. Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved). Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law ARE UNDER THE CURSE; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.) The gospel (good news on HOW to be saved) of grace ( 1 Cor 15:1-4 KJV) given to Paul only, and the ONLY Gospel available to ANY person today, before the rapture: The UNDESERVED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation), The verse you cite, James 2:22, is simply saying that Abraham showed that his faith was real by works, especially by offering his son, Issac, as he was commanded to do. James 2:22 (KJV), “Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?” In the same chapter, James tells all people that we are all guilty of breaking ALL of God’s law: James 2:10 (KJV), “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of ALL.” Notice in the same chapter, James is telling us that works are to SHOW or DEMONSTRATE the power of faith to produce works. He is not saying works are part of HOW to receive salvation. James 2:18 “Yea, 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.” I very strongly advise against you or anyone basing their salvation on a misunderstood reading of James, while setting aside a Huge MULTITUDE of verses very clearly and repeatedly saying that salvation is received by Faith Alone, plus Nothing. Of course, this is your choice, and you can choose to trust on works to receive salvation, but that is against the directives of the bible.
Keep going brother! 💪 God is amazing! Love your ministery. Very inspiring and great example. Lets continue steadfast settled and grounded in the Hope that is laid up for us, and continue this glorious work, which is sharing the gospel and teaching as were able. Which works in us mightily
...& those good works were committed & established by God, no one else! There is no good but the Father, & even mimicking his good way is the best we can do. Will you spend all your mortal years serving a purpose that is pointless, or is serving a pointless purpose now the point of it all? "I will pick up the trash on the streets with these hands, knowing that thirty sets of hands will dump all the more. Even so, we will serve."
The video is not about our salvation. Micheal Pearl is not teaching salvation by works. He is talking about the Millennium kingdom. The salvation is different for the ppl in that time like it was different in the time of Moses. If you would patiently listen to what he is explaining you would learn more about the exciting future awaiting us with the Lord. I pray we would argue less in the body of Christ, instead be more patient and willing to listen. We can learn more and receive more with a humble heart. This teaching is valuable and worth watching. The right division of the bible is crucial in order to understand the context. God bless everyone.
I noticed some in the comment section stating they had some confusion as we all do from time to time. Please consider this. To enter the Kingdom of God one must be born again by believing in Jesus for eternal life. To enter into the Kingdom of Heaven is to enter into " The Rulership Under the Heavens ". In other words the future Kingdom of Heaven coming soon to this earth will be ruled by Jesus where by He will REWARD faithful believers to differing levels of authority and rulership . So in a sense, to enter into the KOH is to enter into Kingdom rulership. Tons of scriptural support for this. Unfaithful believers will be still be with Jesus forever BUT will miss out and be excluded from co- rulership, with Christ. All of this will be determined at the judgment seat of Christ. If this helps anyone please comment and let me know. Thanks
The will is keep the commandments, put God first and you will experience heaven here on earth, how do i know because sometimes i experience it like today for short bursts, Jesus said if you search for him with all your mind and heart you will find him, thats when he starts speaking to you, you saved by grace alone not through your own works, he who does the will of the father is the one who keeps the commandments, Jesus came to-set us free from everything, blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord, every knee shall bow and every tounge shall confess that Christ is lord
judging from the comments and having listened to this presentation I can see where there is confusion among many. It is important to stress up front that the kingdom of Heaven is the earthly kingdom set up after the tribulation, the people at that time are those who have endured the tribulation period, it is NOT the class of humanity that was saved by grace since since the time that Jesus was resurrected. But rather it is those that are alive and endured the suffering, stood steadfast for God and denied the Antichrist, during the tribulation period. The church which comprises all believers, that were called out unto God in the age of grace, have been removed prior to the tribulation, they are in the Kingdom of God and WILL return to Earth with Jesus at the end of the tribulation, the beginning of the Kingdom of Heaven and they are part of the Kingdom of Heaven because they are of the Kingdom of God. Traditional interpretation is that the kingdom of Heaven is a subset of the kingdom of God, which is over all. This is my understanding and hopefully it is correct and will help ease some of the confusion of what I think is trying to be said.
I think you explained that very well! I just watched his Kingdom series a few weeks ago and my mind was blown. So many verses that were unclear to me for 40+ years are now crystal clear. I think most people in the comments who are disagreeing need to watch that series so they’ll understand what he’s meaning in this video.
That’s amazing jet boat! You might have to bring that down to Florida to play around with that special if you want a 40 pound catfish!🤣 that’s a nicYou got there your work looks impeccable …precision! My husband built a boat. He got the shell of a 43 foot Torres from Key West and it build his Commercial Fishing Vesseland she is still running strong but first he had to build a 30 x 40 garage all by himself and it’s amazing what one man can do by himself. It’s really amazing your work & very Admirable. The dedication, the patience, the artwork, the creativity, and all that time you spend with Jesus while you’re working on that! It’s a beautiful thing❤️🙏 It takes much creativity and patience to build something that will float and fly on water . My husband built a 43 foot Torres vessel in 1992. It was launched it took four years to build. She is still running strong. It is a commercial grouper boat and the Gulf of Mexico. He had to build a 30 x 40 garage and that he built by himself. It’s amazing what one man can do.
The question is then what works do we do to enter the kingdom, and is this kingdom only for the Israelites? What is the outer darkness (can a born again believer be cast out for not having the works)? Also where is David said to reign again? I'm very interested in this.
Seems to fit what Christ told the church of Thyatira: some He was pleased with and were told they would rule the nations with an iron rod (millennial reign) and some were tolerating immorality and where told they would be cast into great tribulation if they didn’t repent.
"I am astonished that you are so quickly the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel -- which is really no gospel at all", wrote the Apostle Paul to the Christians at Ephesus.
Here is our Savior YaH The Heavenly FATHER (Genesis 1) HIMSELF was Who they Crucified/Pierced for our sins and “HERE IS THE PROOF” From the Ancient Semitic: "Yad He Vav He" is what Moshe (Moses) wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3) Ancient Semitic Direct Translation Yad - "Behold The Hand" He - "Behold the Breath" Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
This is sound teaching! Not because Michael Pearl is teaching it, but because this IS what the Bible teaches rightly divided. Wonderful teaching brother.. Thank you Jesus for men like mister Pearl.
🙏 Romans 3:20 KJV [20] Therefore by the [deeds of the law] there shall no [flesh be justified] in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. We are justified by faith in Jesus Christ (first) And our works that proceed us, it's both that is why Christ will judge us according to our (works) Revelation 20:13,15 KJV [13] And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were [judged every man] according to their [works.] [15] And whosoever was not found [written in the book of life] was [cast into] the [lake of fire.] James 2:26 KJV [26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so [faith] [without works] is [dead] also. Ecclesiastes 12:14 KJV For God shall bring every [work into judgment,] with [every secret thing,] whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Works without faith is dead, as is faith without works. No need to say you don’t need one or the other. Works done for works sake, with no real faith, won’t help you. If you do have true faith, you will do good works.
My cousin has been doing a lot of Bible studying. And I just used to think the same thing that kingdom of God the kingdom of heaven were the same thing. Maybe that study guide will be a great gift for her.
They are one and the same, the Millennium, and being counted as worthy to enter it at the Judgement Seat of Christ through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth per 2 Thes 2 13/14
The people that said Lord Lord didn’t we prophesy in your name and cast out demons in your name were boasting and trusting in their good works to save them rather than trusting in the finished work of Jesus on the Cross. There will be no boasters in heaven. Ephesians 2:8-9. If you say good works are needed to save us you are spitting in the Lord’s face and telling him his perfect, sinless blood wasn’t good enough. That sounds like pride to me, the very reason Satan was cast down from heaven.
Eph 2.10, good works, that we should walk in them. This is the reason for spirit rebirth/called/justified. The whole of scripture is to be worthy to enter the KOH/KOG (MIllennium) in a glorified body to serve Christ for 1K years. His work on the cross gave us justification, but His resurrection gave us sanctification if we pursue it. The gift is faith, we use it for sanctification/reward.
Hello Doug: Peter and the other apostles, except Paul, was given the gospel of the kingdom, which is NOT in effect today, which offered salvation and the kingdom to primarily the Jewish people by faith. They were under the law but NOT saved by the law. No person can keep all of the law, so every person is fully condemned by the law. EVERY saved person in the history of the earth will be saved by GRACE (UNDESERVED GIFT) through FAITH, plus Nothing. The gospel of the kingdom: All they had to believe was WHO Jesus was/is: God the Son, the King, the messiah/savior; with that faith they would have salvation and the kingdom. John 6:47 (KJV) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that Believeth on me hath everlasting life." The kingdom is the 1,000 year kingdom on earth that was, and will be, offered primarily to the Jewish people. Lord Jesus will rule over it, and the born-again Christians will be co-heirs and reign with Lord Jesus over the kingdom. The kingdom will be offered Again ONLY in the tribulation; that is when the gospel of the kingdom will be in effect. Matthew 24:14 (KJV), “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24 is conveyed concerning unbelieving people that go into the tribulation, because they were not born-again/saved under Paul’s gospel and removed at the rapture. The rapture was a mystery, unknown before Paul, and it was given to Paul only. The gospel of grace was given to Paul ONLY and is the Only gospel available to ANY person today: Salvation is received by faith trusting ONLY on Lord Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Believer is SPIRITUALLY Baptized into the body of Christ when they Believe only on Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Born-Again believer is Not trying to enter the kingdom, they will rule and reign over the kingdom. We are NOT under OT law, so we are not commanded to be water baptized; we are SPIRITUALLY baptized by God to make the Believer Born-Again (Spiritually Sinless): Romans 10:4 (KJV), “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.” 1 Corinthians 12:13 (KJV), “For by one Spirit are we all (SPIRITUALLY NOT WATER) baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.” Water Baptism cannot be part of HOW a person is saved / born-again. 1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV) - “For Christ sent me NOT to BAPTIZE, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of NO EFFECT.” The gospel (good news on HOW to be saved) of Grace given to Paul only, and the ONLY Gospel available to ANY person today: The UNDESERVED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation). See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law: So, trying to enter the kingdom, or be saved today under the gospel of grace, with faith on ANY works means NO Salvation. Our BEST righteous acts, for the purpose or earning or qualifying for salvation, are as FILTHY RAGS: Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.” Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved). Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law ARE UNDER THE CURSE; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.) Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV), “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful WORKS? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." (Notice that trusting on WORKS for salvation and/or entering the kingdom means NO salvation). Believing, plus Nothing, is the only way to be saved. “Doing the WILL OF THE FATHER” is BELIEVING ON THE SON. John 6:40 (KJV), “And this is the WILL of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.” HOW to be saved today and leave in the rapture; or be saved before the rapture when a person dies: Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.” (GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.) Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved).
Salvation unto sanctification, not the other way around. I believe you have these terms intertwined. No one said to sin or disobey commandments. I certainly didn't. -For IF you love Him you will keep His commandments. I doubt you can be born again, not loving Jesus and His gospel. IF you believe in Lordship Salvation, you are in some type of cult. It strays from Christianity to reject the blood atonement of Christ ALONE for your salvation. Also, you can't keep the law. Most people can't even name the Ten Commandments, the 600+ sins of Moses, or the countless sins of omission. May I ask, are you catholic?@James-qy6fb
❤SALVATION 101 We are SAVED by GOD, by Doing His Will, and BELIEVING In His SON Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, But the one who Does the WILL Of My FATHER, who is in heaven John 6:40 MY FATHER’S WILL is that everyone who looks to the Son and BELIEVES in HIM shall have eternal life John 3:16 For GOD so Loved the World that HE Gave (Sacrificed to Die) HIS only SON so that Whoever BELIEVES in HIM, shall not perish, but have ever lasting Life
Mind that isreal held to the letter of the law but God knew their hearts were far from him and lamented. He didn't want their empty praise and meaningless rituals, he wanted them to dispense justice! Provide for the widow! Care for the orphan! Love your neighbor as you love yourself and love God with all your heart, soul, mind and body!
I wanted to get your Kingdom book 📖, but I’m in Australia the total cost to me including shipping I’d 79.00 dollars. Do you have a place in Australia I can get one ? Regards Paul
If it was by works I’m sunk. Holding on to Jesus. My only hope.
I am so relieved to hear it is not of my works to be saved today. Thank-you Jesus. You did it all for a sinner like me.
🙏
Romans 3:20 KJV
[20] Therefore by the [deeds of the law] there shall no [flesh be justified] in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
We are justified by faith in Jesus Christ (first) And our works that proceed us, it's both that is why Christ will judge us according to our (works)

@@Servant44 Rev 2:5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
@@klausmkl That is not a verse about losing salvation if you don't do works. Salvation is by faith alone in Christ alone apart from works. If you trust in your works for your salvation, you will not be saved according to Scripture.
Regarding the verse you quoted, Revelation already defined the definition of the lampstand in Revelation 1:20. The lampstand represents the 7 churches. Each candle represents one of the 7 churches. This particular candle that Jesus is referring to is the Church of Ephesus. He is not talking about individuals; He is talking specifically to Ephesus' candlestick. Jesus' warning was that if Ephesus refuses to repent and refuses to continue the good things that it started off doing, then Jesus was going to remove the Church from its place in His will.
Moreover, a close study of Revelation 2-3 reveals that this is a prophetic passage about the entire history of the Church on Earth. Ephesus represents the first Church Age. This is the Apostolic Church age, where the Church was first established and laid down by the Apostles. They started off with passion and obedience to the Apostle’s instructions, but quickly reverted back into their old ways, which was one of the reasons why Paul rebuked the early churches in his writings in 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, etc.
The Bible clearly teaches that salvation is a free gift of grace by faith in Christ alone. It teaches that you have no righteousness at all innately. On your best day, your righteousness is like filthy rags and falls short the glory of God. The Bible teaches that God is going to judge based on the whole law. You will either keep the whole law perfectly and be saved, or if you stumble on one point of the law then you are guilty of breaking all of it. The Bible teaches that you are saved at conversion and will receive the Holy Spirit as a seal of your salvation and keep the Holy Spirit for the Day of Redemption. A Christian cannot lose the Holy Spirit before that day comes. They are sealed.
@@klausmkl What does candlestick means?
Revelation 1:20 King James Bible
The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
candlesticks are churches.
Who was the Lord Jesus talking to?
Revelation 2:1 King James Bible
Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;
The church of Ephesus.
What happened to the church of Ephesus?
It was destroyed and be no more.
This is what is means by "remove thy candlestick out of his place". It has nothing to do with personal salvation.
Moreover, the seven churches in Revelation are also seven church period.
The church of Ephesus is the first church period that the churches are established by the apostles. Many of the elders and church fathers are the students of the apostles.
Therefore they are able to distinguish between true apostles and false apostles:
Revelation 2:2 King James Bible
I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
Now we are living in the final church period, the church of Laodicea. The Lord Jesus is coming to catch up the church very soon.
This is a crucial time for us to examine ourselves:
Are you truly saved? Did you put your faith on the Lord Jesus, His finished work on the cross and His precious blood ONLY for your salvation? Or are you trusting your own works for your salvation?
God bless and Maranatha!
Our Salvation "isn't works based", but our Faith "is works based". We NEED Faith in order to be saved (Eph 2:8). . .
- (James 2) makes it blatantly clear that our "faith can die".
--(verse 17) says faith without works is dead, and this point gets repeated in (verse 20)
--(verse 21) shows that our father Abraham was jutisified by works, which was before the Torah was given to Israel . . . So why should we be exempt from works of faith and acquire faith through slothfulness? Can sloth, being a deadly sin, achieve salvation? Can death and life reside in the same house? Absolutely not.
--(verses 22-23) goes futher to explain that Abraham's "works" is what MADE his
faith "perfect", which fulfilled the scriptures saying that Abraham "believed God and it was imputed unto him for righteousness". Then (verse 24) follows that up by saying that "we are not justified by faith only, but by works also", which means we can't have one without the other; both have to be intact in order for us to be justified. So "Abraham's works" was evidence to God that Abraham had "faith"; which signified his "belief in God"; this proves that belief CANNOT BE achieved through the mind alone, but by works also. Faith is not a "mere function of the mind" like the Christian world of today sees it, works HAVE TO BE INVOLVED in order to be a "believer".
--then (verse 26) concludes the chapter by saying "as the body without the spirit is dead, so is faith without works dead also". Our faith is "works based", faith is the vehicle and works is the fuel, if we dont fuel up with works, our faith dies on the road[way].
**So (James 2) makes it CRYSTAL CLEAR THAT OUR FAITH CAN DIE, IF WE STOP "WORKING"!!! This also proves that our "SALVATION CAN BE FORFEITED!!!" Because multiple places in the New Testament specifically states that we are "saved through faith", and if our faith "DIES", that means its "NO LONGER EXISTENT", and if faith is non-existent, than Salvation is non-existent plain and simple.
- Jesus touches on this "same exact subject" in (Rev 3:1-2) in the letter to the church at Sardis, he said "strengthen the things which remain: that are READY TO DIE: for I have NOT found your WORKS perfect before God". They were on the verge of dying. Those passages coincide with (James 2:22) where it says "works makes our faith perfect" along with (verses 17; 20 & 26) which says "faith without works is dead". Sardis' works was falling short of "perfection", their "FAITH WAS DYING"; due to a "work shortage". (Rev 3:5) indicates that the Lord was on the verge of "blotting members of Sardis out of the book of life", if they didn't repent and overcome their slothfulness in works. The "book of life" is the "citizenry" of the kingdom of God, if we don't acquire citizenship in God's kingdom, there's nowhere else to go.
Even though we have to endure[work] till the end to be saved (Matt 10:22), Salvation is still a free gift, otherwise man would be able to boast of himself, but man has no power within himself, so he can't boast.
It is glorious to know Jesus paid it all. Many watching this are stopping too soon and missing the final wonderful message of forgiveness.
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God
Now read verse 10
Verse 10 is the works that result for being saved and redeemed. It does not say we are saved by works.@@gregory7406
One of the more outstanding traits of people with faith is the doing of good works without the expectation of recompense. They simply can't help it. Its in their DNA. Not everyone that does good works has faith but everyone with faith does good works.
What this guy is saying in this video doesn't sound right, you are correct, by Grace are we saved, not by works.
Grace through faith not by works during the church age. Not so after the Tribulation starts. It really does change but if you are in heaven, you don't have to worry about it. DURING THE AGE OF GRACE, WORKS ARE NOT NECESSARY. DURING TRIBULATION PERIOD THEY ARE.
In other words get saved now. Trust in Jesus blood and righteousness.
What have you got to lose? Other than an eternity separated from God? If you believe, you have lost nothing, if you refuse grace, you have lost everything!

”Then they said to Him, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.”“

”Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me has everlasting life.“
John 6:47 NKJV
I would be very careful that you are using great discernment here. One word that stands out to me in these passages is "sees." How does one "see" Jesus? By having a relationship with Him. Another word that stands out to me is the word "in." How does one get to be "in" Him? Once again, the relationship piece. Does God let everyone "in"? He does not. You must prove your faith to Him, by doing what He says. How does one know what He says? By having a relationship with Him.
Rev 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
Rev 20:13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
@@jamesfields4149 I just think saying that the kingdom of God can be inside you, but that doesn’t mean you will get into heaven is misleading. Matthew uses “kingdom of heaven.” Parallel passages in mark and Luke say “kingdom of God.” Likely matt did that as his book is mostly for the Jews who are skittish about using the name of God. This mans premise is you have to do works to enter heaven, then his example is people who did works who didn’t get to go to heaven…… Those people seem to think their ability to go to heaven is based on their works. If they had said, “but Jesus, we believe in you and your sacrifice for us as the perfect Son of God,” that’s the profession that shows you know Him. The PROOF of your relationship, knowing Him, believing in Him is seen in the works you should then do. Like I believe in gravity, so there are things I will and won’t do because of my true belief. Likewise, I believe in Jesus. He IS the messiah, so I will take up my cross daily to follow him, to die to myself, to be an ambassador of his kingdom to others, to be generous to the poor and widow, do justice, speak the truth and remain unstained by the world working out my salvation with fear and trembling as the Holy Spirit inspired both Paul and James to write. But doing those things of myself, I can accomplish nothing. I think his statement of being able to be a part of the Kingdom of God but not part of the Kingdom of Heaven is intentionally confusing, which is scary, as he is well respected, and it can lead people astray into a works based salvation. I see that God does deal differently with people in different times in the Bible, so in a way I’m dispensational, but this level of division is too far. My prayers are for all to come to know the Truth as the Holy Spirit intends.
@@jamesfields4149 truly not tryin to fight or anything, just talkin, but I forgot to mention this. What work did the thief on the cross do? All he did was recognize who Jesus was and believed. I don’t think Jesus was being tricky when he said, “today you will be with me in paradise.”
@@BlackhelmetapparelUS I agree. This is the first AND LAST time I listen to this guy. FYI, his distinction between the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God is fallacious, as you rightly supposed. All major Bible scholars agree that the two mean the same thing and are interchangeable.
Salvation is granted to those who put their Faith in Yashai Christ and what he did for us in that cross, BUT Faith without works is Dead Faith... You need BOTH!!! Shalom 🤲🏾
Matthew 6 : 33,
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. "

This is why I always enjoy bible studies with others. I’m one of those people that when I read it I don’t always interpret it correctly because of the wording. I appreciate it when people like yourself break it down and make it a little more easy to understand. Thank you sir.🙏
Another great channel to watch is “Safe Harbor fellowship baptist church” he has a series called “ how to study the bible “ it is awesome. Not by opinion but by the word of God kjv1611
Yep, I believe there is a difference in the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of God.... The 'kingdom of heaven ' phrase is never mention in any epistles or any books of the new testament after Mathew's recordings....i don't think that is by coincidence.
You will not see the phrase "Kingdom of heaven" after Mathew's Gospel.
The Kingdom of God is definitely different from the kingdom of heaven.❤❤❤
@@sramdeojohn4428 i hear you my friend I’ve become very conscience about certain things. I may not know why about a lot of things but the more I look there seems to be a big difference between faith and religion. I think maybe we all must decide for ourselves and if we truly have faith then God will see that we never stopped walking towards him.
Be sure that you understand and believe the Gospel we read in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4.
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.
This why God send us a savior, who trusts in him will no longer be unclean
ohn 6:29
King James Version
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Just believe with all our hearts, like a child.
Praise God for being so loving towards us.
I'm a sinner saved by grace alone and i am so thankful to Gods tender mercies.
Your boat is really coming on brother!!
Refreshing to hear the word of God taught by someone who understands it .
Love and blessings to all

Only by faith in our Saviour and by grace
Yes! Once the rapture happens then the kingdom of heaven gospel and a completely new
dispensation takes over where works are required. We leave behind the gospel of grace completely. Im impressed that you understand this and teach it. Everyone i talk to screams at me for stating "ANOTHER GOSPEL. GOSPEL OF THE ENEMY". Then i know that person should study the Bible more. It is a special person that knows the difference. Thank you.
Where can I read about this
You should not accuse people of needing to study the Bible more. If the vast majority of Bible scholars cannot come to a truth through study, then it is not for lack of study that people don't find the truth. You're making a very big claim, and that's fine. Where can we find evidence that there will be a new dispensation? I suppose there have already been several dispensations, arguably even two at the same time (Jews and Gentiles before Christ died), so another dispensation shouldn't be too shocking, except that I'd need to see more evidence of it. This channel is new to me, so its a new concept to entertain the idea that kingdom of heaven and kingdom of God might be separate. But its a huge departure from anything we've heard in traditional Christianity.
There is only one way to the Father and that is through the Son Jesus Christ. Amen
If you say you have no sin you deceive yourself and the truth is not in you. We couldn’t earn heaven if we did good works for a billion years. Stay humble, Salvation is a gift only obtained by trusting in Christ’s shed blood on the Cross.
Brother, simply believing in Christ shed blood does not get anyone heaven unless the bears the fruit of salvation.
One of the fruit saved person bears or produces or gives out is Good work or showing kindness to our brethren.!
@vijay85321 it is by the Grace of Christ and his sacrafice that is salvation had. Jesus said. No one cometh unto the Father but by Me. The works he is talking about is old testament. Before Christ. It was an altar sacrafice for sin back sin. Now that Christ made the Perfect sacrafice altar sacrafice is no longer needed.
@@vijay85321 You are wrong. The Bible clearly says believing in Christ is enough. Did the thief on the cross bear any fruit of salvation or did any works? If it’s true that you need fruits of salvation to get to heaven, how much do you need and how hard should you work to get to heaven? You do realize that you believe in a work based salvation which will send you straight to Hell. When the jailer was about to kill himself and Paul stopped him, he ran to Paul and Silas and asked them how to get saved Paul said “believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved”
“For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not the result of works, so that no one may boast.”
@@DCCentralComedy 😄! Lets presume What if the thief was alive continued to do his job of stealing even after knowing that he received salvation from christ.!
Will he be in the kingdom of heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ? 🤣
This is why i tell you salvation is free for everyone through the grace of our heavenly father and love of ou Lord., our responsiblity is to protect the our salvation, by giving up the sin which was borne by our Lord and bear the fruits of salvation!
Hope you understand what i said!
Luke 13:
24"Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.
Central comedy# our good deeds are not to boast off, but show the love of Christ! And these deeds are the fruits of salvation!
@@ArtistBrianSheffield where did i said about altar sacrifice, o am talking about fruits of salvation!
Good works are not enough, you must have love in your heart. Good works can be the product, will be the product of those given the opportunity of love in your heart. Love is the greatest, love for God, God's creation and everything around it. You must love people, places and things created by God.
Hello Nix: See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law: So, trying to enter the kingdom and be saved by works means NO Salvation.
Our BEST righteous acts, for the purpose or earning or qualifying for salvation, are as FILTHY RAGS:
Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”
Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved).
Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law ARE UNDER THE CURSE; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.)
The gospel (good news on HOW to be saved) of grace given to Paul only, and the ONLY Gospel available to ANY person today: The UNDESERVED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation), AS IF THE BELIEVER HAS NEVER SINNED. THERE IS NOTHING A PERSON CAN DO TO QUALIFY FOR, EARN, OR RECEIVE ANY PART OF SALVATION. ONLY because of God’s mercy and GRACE, he offers every person the UNMERITED FREE GIFT of Salvation that’s received by FAITH, plus Nothing.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.”
(GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.)
Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved).
BELIEVING the Gospel, (1 Cor. 15:1-4) with NO Faith on ANY Human Effort, is the ONLY way to Receive Salvation. Notice what is NOT included (works / human effort).
Romans 4:5 (KJV), “But to him that worketh not, but BELIEVETH on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” (‘righteousness’ means God makes the believer sinless in God’s eyes concerning standing and salvation)
Acts 16:30-31(KJV) - “The Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 3:28 (KJV), “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by FAITH without the deeds of the law.”
Skip this sappy love stuff & you will be better off. Most love from the human heart is very dark.

Blessing is not what we have, blessing is what we give,
True meaning of blessing is to be a blessing to others₹
Just ordered those two books . I am saved by faith through grace but being able to talk to other people and explain the Bible is not my strength. Still studing . Still learning Still praying. Thank you for your videos and books.
The one thing that bothers me about listening to people about scripture is when they say I don't have time for that right now we all have time for everything we just need to stop smell the flowers and appreciate the sent
Thank you brotger Pearl. As a young boy trusting Jesus as my personal saviour I did not know these Kingdom's were divided as part of rightly dividing the scriptures. I undersrand much better at 69 today and with much thanks to your bible teaching on various subjects like this. I have your Kingdom book also. Thank you in Jesus name for all you have done and do.
Very good study Mr. Pearl! When someone studies the Bible for 50+ years you tend to know a thing or two, I won’t even entertain these arguments beneath me… 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 I’ve risen above that. I’m tired of it but I look toward my elders like big brother Pearl because this is a man that’s done his homework, now I do pray about it and I do pay close attention, we aught to be wise enough to go back and pray and study to see if Pearl is telling the truth, and he is it’s in there you just gotta read it for yourselves. Thank you brother! I can’t wait to meet you! We’ll be hangin around the tree of life in amazement of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and sharing testimonies from when we were here in this old world. I love you guys!
I don't believe will remember anything about this old sinful world. Peace be with you!
I am already being born again by baptism, Colossians 2:11-13, like Paul say’s, one lord, one faith, one baptism, one god and father of all Ephesians 4:5-6, and like apostle Paul continue to work out my salvation with fear and trembling, Philippians 2:12. from San Diego California, a native Filipino and was naturalize 2011
Hello Alehandro: Please be aware, the gospel of grace was given to Paul ONLY and is the Only gospel available to ANY person today: Salvation is received by faith trusting ONLY on Lord Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Believer is SPIRITUALLY Baptized into the body of Christ when they Believe only on Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Born-Again believer is Not trying to enter the kingdom, they will rule and reign over the kingdom. We are NOT under OT law, so we are not commanded to be water baptized; we are SPIRITUALLY baptized by God to make the Believer Born-Again (Spiritually Sinless):
Romans 10:4 (KJV), “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”
1 Corinthians 12:13 (KJV), “For by one Spirit are we all (SPIRITUALLY NOT WATER) baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.”
Water Baptism cannot be part of HOW a person is saved / born-again.
1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV) - “For Christ sent me NOT to BAPTIZE, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of NO EFFECT.”
See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law: So, trying to enter the kingdom and be saved by works means NO Salvation.

"work out my salvation with fear and trembling" means that ALL born-again believers will be given rewards based on good works, and they can be chastised by God if they are involved with practicing sin. Obtaining and/or keeping Salvation does not involve any works.
Eternal Security for the born-again believer is true. A born-again believer CANNOT lose salvation. Believing that a born-again person can lose salvation means we approach God for salvation with faith on HUMAN EFFORT, and that means NO salvation.
Ephesians 4:30 (KJV), “And grieve not the Holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are SEALED unto the day of redemption.”
John 6:37 (KJV), “All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I WILL NO WISE CAST OUT.”
1 Peter 1:4-5 (KJV), “To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are KEPT BY THE POWER OF GOD through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”
John 10:28-29 (KJV), “And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than ALL; and NO MAN is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.”
2 Corinthian 1:22 (KJV), “Who hath also SEALED us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.”
To him who works it is counted as debt but to him who believes in the one who justifies even the ungodly this one's faith is counted as righteousness

"We who are Jews...know that a man is not justified by observing the Law, but by faith in Christ Jesus ", wrote the Apostle Paul.

If the title is making you uneasy i'd check the description, he clearly affirms that salvation is by grace through faith alone. this video is simply on the distinction between the kingdom of God vs the kingdom of heaven.
What’s the difference between the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven?
It's stuck in my brain I don't know all the right words but humming is my favorite part until the important part (Nothing But Blood Of Jesus)oh how I love him so.
True faith brings true desire to conform one’s life to Christ and one’s life conformed to Christ produces good works which brings salvation. So yes, through faith alone by grace. However, without the good works is there true faith?
"For God so loved the world he gave his only son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but shall have eternal life."
-- The Gospel According to John
read a few verses after
those that don't believe are judged, and what is the judgment? They loved darkness rather than light. So there seems to be an element, that truly believing in God relates to living rightly
”Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent. All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.“
John 6:28-29, 37-40 KJV
Well ive followed you Michael for years until this video...i pray you get the wisdom from God and change your mind
First thing you’ve shared that I don’t think I agree with. Not that you need my approval or say so. I’m always open to new thinking of scriptures. If nothing else you’ve given me another view I’ve never heard to look into. Definitely open to the fact that I could be wrong. Excited to dig into these explanations. Always a great teacher whether we agree or not. Good Godly man.
ONCE YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE SAVED FOREVER
Hello Michael --- Keep teaching brother!!! I am almost through your 8 Kingdoms book What amazing instruction! You have taught me to read the Bible slower and think more. Praise God!
The comments are hilarious😂 you're very clear Mike completely clear. A lot of the listeners still don't get it.🤷
Very Christian of you to laugh at people that maybe are new and trying to understand. Perfect example of someone that feels superior. Try selling that as doing good works and following Jesus. Love your neighbor as yourself. Love God with all your heart and soul.
John said, "Any man that says he is without sin is a liar". You sir are a sinner and I am a sinner. If Jesus Christ just came to preach the ten commandments. Answer this one thing, what did he die on the cross for?
I would also throw this out to followers of Mike. What credence do you give to Christ's parables? If so, why was Father so happy and set a banquet, new clothing, when the son knew he went into the world of sin and was broken by it. He only wanted to be a slave in his Fathers house. He was forgiven and his brothers were unhappy because they did good all along. How do you rectify?
@@rodleyeriffe9149 exactly 💯 that's why the Bible is so intriguing. Some people will never understand it even if they live to be a million. A lot of these comments are coming from seasoned Christians that have been into the word their whole life. They are believers. If they were non-believers
It wouldn't be amusing.
Who is in the outer darkness that revelation speaks of? Could it be the saved apostates? There will be saved people kept from the flames but will be in outer darkness for how they lived their lives. So, anyone who thinks just because they're saved and can live their lives however they want they better think again.
Blessings 🤗❤️
God bless you. God didn't give us our talents and gifts to not use to serve His purpose for us.
You are 100% right.
Quite edifying. Thanks, sir
Hebrews says that when we believe we enter into God's rest and we rest from our works as God did from his. Good works are fruit of salvation they are not the xause of it. Christ's work on the cross is the one that saves us. Our good works are evidence of that salvation.
Thank You for slowing down your reading and explaining the topic, made a big difference in absorbing the word.
Its by grace God gives us good works since we our his handiwork producing goodfruit. But you cant lean on your own understanding and do works by your hands. But bless be your hands when you pray to the lord of the harvest to send you out as lambs among wolves. Pretty simple. So simply its by grace you are saved not by your own works so no man may boost.
Good thing we believers today are under the gospel of grace and not in that Kingdom of heaven, under the law. I thank God for our gospel of grace, but I praise him for what he has done and will do in the future for his people Israel.
Wow, I’m learning new things about the Bible everyday. I thought the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven where the something, but they are not. No one knows everything in the Bible.
"Before this faith [in Christ Jesus] came, we were held prisoners by the Law", wrote the Apostle Paul.

God Bless you and your family in this New Year Pastor Pearl! I can not thank you enough for your teachings and explanations on things like this. It's like a blanket of hope cast over me. So many stressful questions answered by you! Thank you and God Bless!
The one thing never discussed on subjects like this is ... what about the others?
We are commanded to love others as we love ourselves, or in modern speak, to not love ourselves more than we love others.
How often do we hear "the saved" speak about their efforts to help the unsaved get right with God? We hear a lot about their personal "ticket to fly" and it begs the question "what about the others that don't have a ticket?" Will no one stand in the gap for them, when the going gets rough?" Christ went to the cross for others .. are we to just ignore that, as we with great pride battle over whether a person is saved by works/grace/or a combination of both?
I wouldn't doubt if most ticket-holders will miss their Departure while consumed with winning this age-old question. What does it matter anyway? Have faith, have love for others, help those in need ... there is no law against love.
Amen Brother, may the Lord Bless you for rightly dividing!

Truth!
I always thought of the Kingdom of Heaven as the outworking of the Kingdom of God in otherwords the Kingdom of Heaven as the physical manifestation of the believers living out the Kingdom of God.
I actually noticed this in my Bible today. I can't find it now, but i think it said the rapture, and then in parenthesis (draw Jesus into the body of believers) or something. Which is exactly what He's been telling me. He may lift us up, but it's because we're pulling Him in. It's happening now. The Presence of the Holy Spirit is manifesting. 🥰
Hello Ranran:
Peter was given the gospel of the kingdom, which is NOT in effect today, which offered salvation and the kingdom to primarily the Jewish people by faith. They were under the law but NOT saved by the law. No person can keep all of the law, so every person is fully condemned by the law. EVERY saved person in the history of the earth will be saved by GRACE (UNDESERVED GIFT) through FAITH, plus Nothing.
The gospel of the kingdom: All they had to believe was WHO Jesus was/is: God the Son, the King, the messiah/savior; with that faith they would have salvation and the kingdom. The kingdom is the 1,000 year kingdom on earth that was, and will be, offered primarily to the Jewish people. Lord Jesus will rule over it, and the born-again Christians will be co-heirs and reign with Lord Jesus over the kingdom. The kingdom will be offered Again ONLY in the tribulation; that is when the gospel of the kingdom will be in effect. Matthew 24:14 (KJV), “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24 is conveyed concerning unbelieving people that go into the tribulation, because they were not born-again/saved under Paul’s gospel and removed at the rapture. The rapture was a mystery, unknown before Paul, and it was given to Paul only.
The gospel of grace was given to Paul ONLY and is the Only gospel available to ANY person today: Salvation is received by faith trusting ONLY on Lord Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Believer is SPIRITUALLY Baptized into the body of Christ when they Believe only on Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Born-Again believer is Not trying to enter the kingdom, they will rule and reign over the kingdom. We are NOT under OT law, so we are not commanded to be water baptized; we are SPIRITUALLY baptized by God to make the Believer Born-Again (Spiritually Sinless):
Romans 10:4 (KJV), “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”
1 Corinthians 12:13 (KJV), “For by one Spirit are we all (SPIRITUALLY NOT WATER) baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.”
Water Baptism cannot be part of HOW a person is saved / born-again.
1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV) - “For Christ sent me NOT to BAPTIZE, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of NO EFFECT.”
See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law: So, trying to enter the kingdom and be saved by works means NO Salvation.
Our BEST righteous acts, for the purpose or earning or qualifying for salvation, are as FILTHY RAGS:
Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”
Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved).
Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law ARE UNDER THE CURSE; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.)
Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV), “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful WORKS? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
(Notice that trusting on WORKS for salvation and/or entering the kingdom means NO salvation). Believing, plus Nothing, is the only way to be saved.
“Doing the WILL OF THE FATHER” is BELIEVING ON THE SON. John 6:40 (KJV), “And this is the WILL of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
HOW to be saved today and leave in the rapture; or be saved before the rapture when a person dies:
Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.”
(GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.)
Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved).
The gospel (good news on HOW to be saved) of Grace given to Paul only, and the ONLY Gospel available to ANY person today:
The UNDESERVED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation).
It's both. It's really 3 things:
1. It refers to 2 physical places: God's Millennial Kingdom on this Earth.
2. God's Kingdom on the New Earth.
3. It's God's agenda including His personal connection to us (this refers to Luke 17:20-21).
Thank you brother Michael ✝️

Everyone should please read the video Description.
The "Kingdom of Heaven" is entirely separate from Salvation (the "Kingdom of God"), until after Jesus returns (because faith pertains to what is not seen).
These kingdoms are 2 separate concepts as taught by Jesus.
I have BOTH of these books. So thankful❤
"We are saved by grace through faith, not by works, lest anyone should boast", wrote the Apostle Paul to the Christians at Ephesus.
I’m not sure with that, read Ephesians 2:10, what it says? or Philippians 1:6, 2:12, and Colossians 1:10, same apostle who wrote Ephesians, Philippians and Colossians.
@@alejandroumaslay3657 Salvation is by faith alone, not by works. We are called to do good works, but not to obtain salvation.
Philippians 2:12 reads, “Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling…” This verse is often misused. Before I say more, verse 12 is not even a complete sentence, so let’s finish the thought and sentence by looking at verse 13: “…for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.”
One of the reasons verse 12 is often misinterpreted is because the rest of the sentence is often not included with the interpretation. Verse 12 is often incorrectly used to say that Christians have to work out their salvation, which follows that one must do works in order to be saved. Of course that view would directly contradict our foundational passage of Ephesians 2:8-9.
Galatians 3:21 says, “For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.” Galatians 2:21 says, “I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!” If we could work out our own salvation, Christ would not have had to die. Philippians 2:12 therefore, is obviously not saying that.
So what is Philippians saying? When we are saved, we are saved to do good works and to obey the Lord. Ephesians 2:10 says, “For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Philippians 2:12 is saying simply to do what we are called to do. “Work out your salvation” does not mean to work it out to obtain it, but rather work it out because you already have it. It is saying do what you were saved to do.
According to the New Testament, we are not supposed work out our salvation in our own strength, but rather piggy-back on the strength of Jesus to do what He calls us to do. For it is God who works in us to will and to act according to His good purpose. Salvation is a cooperative commitment: both God and you are doing the work where, He is strengthening you to pull off what He calls you to do.
“Fear and trembling” means that we are to take our salvation seriously. We are supposed to serve and obey the Lord in reverence in the strength that He provides. God’s goal for us is for us to become more and more pure and holy. Our spirits are perfect because Christ imputed His perfection to us. Working out our salvation is a process of making our souls more like Him until we receive our new bodies in our next life and are made complete and holy through and through.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 7:21 KJV
And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
John 6:39-40 KJV
Let scripture interpret scripture...🤷♂️
Interpret scripture with scripture. You just fallaciously made John 6 the ONLY will of the Father as if He doesn't have other types of wills. Context.
@@Isaiah_Cochran
Yet, you provide no other scripture...
Because my statement is within context.
@@hex0rz1 I didn't think it necessary. It's just common, basic sense that God has many wills. There are unending amounts of passages that say "God's will," "His will" etc., go to a word search and type in "will" you'll see 3837 mentions-now of course most of them are verbs.
But okay, here's two different verses about God's wills I just picked at random, Rev. 17:17 and 1 John 5:14. Now tell me, does God have these wills in mind when He's speaking to the folks there in Matt 7? No, but those are still His wills, God's will is, of course, for everyone to believe on Jesus but that's just one of His many wills, you can't isolate a verse that says "will" to make it always mean one "will" found in some other passage. I have no doubt John 6's will is "effectually" here in Matt but you're making it out like it's the one and only "active" will at the "forefront" when that shouldn't be so easily assumed as you got vss. 15-20 and vss. 24-27 encompassing vs. 22 in the immediate context
Hello Hex0rz: You are correct.
Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV), “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful WORKS? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
(Notice that trusting on WORKS for salvation and/or entering the kingdom means NO salvation). Believing, plus Nothing, is the only way to be saved.
“Doing the WILL OF THE FATHER” is BELIEVING ON THE SON.
John 6:40 (KJV), “And this is the WILL of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law: So, trying to enter the kingdom and be saved by works means NO Salvation.
Our BEST righteous acts, for the purpose or earning or qualifying for salvation, are as FILTHY RAGS:
Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”
Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved).
Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law ARE UNDER THE CURSE; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.)
Peter was given the gospel of the kingdom, which is NOT in effect today, which offered salvation and the kingdom to primarily the Jewish people by faith. They were under the law but NOT saved by the law. No person can keep all of the law, so every person is fully condemned by the law. EVERY saved person in the history of the earth will be saved by GRACE (UNDESERVED GIFT) through FAITH, plus Nothing.
The gospel of the kingdom: All they had to believe was WHO Jesus was/is: God the Son, the King, the messiah/savior; with that faith they would have salvation and the kingdom.
John 6:47 (KJV) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that Believeth on me hath everlasting life."
The kingdom is the 1,000 year kingdom on earth that was, and will be, offered primarily to the Jewish people. Lord Jesus will rule over it, and the born-again Christians will be co-heirs and reign with Lord Jesus over the kingdom. The kingdom will be offered Again ONLY in the tribulation; that is when the gospel of the kingdom will be in effect. Matthew 24:14 (KJV), “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24 is conveyed concerning unbelieving people that go into the tribulation, because they were not born-again/saved under Paul’s gospel and removed at the rapture. The rapture was a mystery, unknown before Paul, and it was given to Paul only.
The gospel of grace was given to Paul ONLY and is the Only gospel available to ANY person today: Salvation is received by faith trusting ONLY on Lord Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Believer is SPIRITUALLY Baptized into the body of Christ when they Believe only on Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Born-Again believer is Not trying to enter the kingdom, they will rule and reign over the kingdom. We are NOT under OT law, so we are not commanded to be water baptized; we are SPIRITUALLY baptized by God to make the Believer Born-Again (Spiritually Sinless):
Romans 10:4 (KJV), “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”
1 Corinthians 12:13 (KJV), “For by one Spirit are we all (SPIRITUALLY NOT WATER) baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.”
Water Baptism cannot be part of HOW a person is saved / born-again.
1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV) - “For Christ sent me NOT to BAPTIZE, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of NO EFFECT.”
Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.”
(GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.)
Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved).
We CANNOT DO anything to DESERVE salvation, so trusting on Human Effort means NO Salvation. Salvation is an UNDESERVED GIFT received by Trusting in our Heart ONLY on the payment for all sins made by Jesus, God the Son who came as GOD in Flesh, with his death, burial, and resurrection.
BELIEVING the Gospel, (1 Cor. 15:1-4) with NO Faith on ANY Human Effort, is the ONLY way to Receive Salvation. Notice what is NOT included (works / human effort).
Romans 4:5 (KJV), “But to him that worketh not, but BELIEVETH on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” (‘righteousness’ means God makes the believer sinless in God’s eyes concerning standing and salvation)
Acts 16:30-31(KJV) - “The Philippian jailer asked Paul and Silas, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, BELIEVE on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved.”
Romans 3:28 (KJV), “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by FAITH without the deeds of the law.”
God makes the believer Permanently Born-Again (Sinless Standing in God’s Eyes), as if you have NEVER sinned; this is a one-time event. Notice it's NOT by Human effort. This is the SPIRITUAL WASHING that water baptism ONLY SYMBOLIZED:
John 3:3 (KJV), “Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born-again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
John 1:12-13 (KJV), “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons (children) of God, even to them that believe on his name. Which were BORN, not of blood, NOR OF THE WILL OF THE FLESH, NOR OF THE WILL OF MAN, BUT OF GOD.”
Titus 3:5 (KJV), “NOT by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the WASHING OF REGENERATION, and renewing of the Holy Spirit.”
Jesus is God the Son who came as God in flesh:
Titus 2:13 (KJV), “Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great GOD and our Saviour Jesus Christ.” (The Rapture)
Colossians 1:15 (KJV), “Jesus is the image of the invisible GOD......"
1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV), “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: GOD was manifest in the flesh."
Isaiah 9:6 (KJV), "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
@@Isaiah_Cochran
I understand what your saying and sympathize with you. But again, it is within context. Im not being all inclusive of "will" because they are not exclusive to the context of what this "will" is. If that were so, I would have said so.
But the main theme is about entering the kingdom of heaven. The only "will" that applies here is that of spoken by Jesus in John.
If God had a different "will" in mind, it would have been spoken of. Either:
1. The Father would not have sent his Son, and the conditions to enter the kingdom of heaven would be different.
Or
2. The Son would have specified that believing on him would not be the condition to enter the kingdom of heaven.
Again, connecting John's verse to this verse in Matthew, is the contextual answer.
Shalom
Can you explain the Kingdom suffer violence and the violent take it by force in the book of Matthew
Yes that would be a good explanation to hear.
Numerous Christians wrest this scripture unto their destruction. Isaiah 53:9 says Jesus did no violence ie. physical violence. Matthew does not mean PHYSICAL VIOLENCE but an aggressive spirit to understand peace and love. 😂🎉❤
John 6 : 29
Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.”
All things are held together by Christ. Know the difference between dead works and dead faith. Will live by grace ALONE.
If you think heaven is ever lasting life , then you have eternity to work the father's will on earth. Faith is not a unmerited favor , there is a contingency of works.
John 3 :13 only one man has been to heaven.
Works without faith and faith without works are dead both ways. Our works cannot save us, but our works are meant to reflect Gods mercy, grace, and the salvation he freely gives to us all.
Hello TPB: Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.”
(GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.)
Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved).
James in not telling us they we MUST Do good works to prove saving faith.
James said faith without works is dead. Dead means useless in regard to the work that a Christian should do; but is NOT required to do. James is speaking to Brethren, which are saved people. He is saying walking by a Christian that is destitute and doing nothing means your faith is useless in terms of work God wants believers to do. It does not mean that person is not saved. James 2:15-17 (KJV), “If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16 And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone."
A born-again believer could have ZERO good works and would still be saved:
1 Corinthians 3:11-15 (KJV), If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.”
The gospel (good news on HOW to be saved) of grace given to Paul only, and the ONLY Gospel available to ANY person today:
The UNDESERVED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation),
The Bible doesn’t say:”by faith alone” but “…Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect”…that’s were the church got it wrong
@@davidrosen3736The bible repeatedly conveys that salvation must be received by faith alone, plus nothing, or it is not received.
GRACE means there is NOTHING Any person can DO to qualify for, earn, or receive salvation, other than Trusting ONLY on the Payment made for ALL sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.
Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.”
(GRACE means UNMERITED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.)
Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved).
Titus 3:5 (KJV), “NOT by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the WASHING OF REGENERATION, and renewing of the Holy Spirit.”
BELIEVING the Gospel, (1 Cor. 15:1-4) with NO Faith on ANY Human Effort, is the ONLY way to Receive Salvation. Notice what is NOT included (works / human effort).

Romans 3:28 (KJV), “Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by FAITH without the deeds of the law.”
Genesis 15:6 (KJV), “And he believed in the Lord; and he counted it to him for righteousness.”
Galatians 3:6 (KJV), “Even as Abraham BELIEVED God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”
Lord Jesus repeatedly said Believing is the only element needed to receive salvation.
John 3:36 (KJV), “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall NOT see life; but the WRATH of God abideth on him.”
John 6:47 (KJV) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that Believeth on me hath everlasting life."
John 6:40 (KJV), “And this is the will of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH ON HIM, MAY HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
ALL are condemned by the law:
Romans 3:23 (KJV), “For ALL HAVE SINNED, and come short of the glory of God.”
Romans 6:23 (KJV), “For the wages of sin is death; but the GIFT of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
OUR BEST RIGHTEOUS ACTS ARE AS FILTHY RAGS, in regard to qualifying for, earning, or receiving any part of salvation. Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as FILTHY RAGS; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”
See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law. Trusting on any works for eternal salvation means NO salvation.
Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved).
Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law ARE UNDER THE CURSE; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.)
The gospel (good news on HOW to be saved) of grace ( 1 Cor 15:1-4 KJV) given to Paul only, and the ONLY Gospel available to ANY person today, before the rapture:
The UNDESERVED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation),
The verse you cite, James 2:22, is simply saying that Abraham showed that his faith was real by works, especially by offering his son, Issac, as he was commanded to do.
James 2:22 (KJV), “Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect?”
In the same chapter, James tells all people that we are all guilty of breaking ALL of God’s law:
James 2:10 (KJV), “For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of ALL.”
Notice in the same chapter, James is telling us that works are to SHOW or DEMONSTRATE the power of faith to produce works. He is not saying works are part of HOW to receive salvation.
James 2:18 “Yea, 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.”
I very strongly advise against you or anyone basing their salvation on a misunderstood reading of James, while setting aside a Huge MULTITUDE of verses very clearly and repeatedly saying that salvation is received by Faith Alone, plus Nothing. Of course, this is your choice, and you can choose to trust on works to receive salvation, but that is against the directives of the bible.
@@davidrosen3736 You don't even know what you just quoted.
Keep going brother! 💪 God is amazing! Love your ministery. Very inspiring and great example. Lets continue steadfast settled and grounded in the Hope that is laid up for us, and continue this glorious work, which is sharing the gospel and teaching as were able. Which works in us mightily
...& those good works were committed & established by God, no one else!
There is no good but the Father, & even mimicking his good way is the best we can do.
Will you spend all your mortal years serving a purpose that is pointless, or is serving a pointless purpose now the point of it all?
"I will pick up the trash on the streets with these hands, knowing that thirty sets of hands will dump all the more. Even so, we will serve."
The video is not about our salvation. Micheal Pearl is not teaching salvation by works. He is talking about the Millennium kingdom. The salvation is different for the ppl in that time like it was different in the time of Moses.
If you would patiently listen to what he is explaining you would learn more about the exciting future awaiting us with the Lord. I pray we would argue less in the body of Christ, instead be more patient and willing to listen.
We can learn more and receive more with a humble heart.
This teaching is valuable and worth watching. The right division of the bible is crucial in order to understand the context.
God bless everyone.
I noticed some in the comment section stating they had some confusion as we all do from time to time. Please consider this. To enter the Kingdom of God one must be born again by believing in Jesus for eternal life. To enter into the Kingdom of Heaven is to enter into " The Rulership Under the Heavens ". In other words the future Kingdom of Heaven coming soon to this earth will be ruled by Jesus where by He will REWARD faithful believers to differing levels of authority and rulership . So in a sense, to enter into the KOH is to enter into Kingdom rulership. Tons of scriptural support for this. Unfaithful believers will be still be with Jesus forever BUT will miss out and be excluded from co- rulership, with Christ. All of this will be determined at the judgment seat of Christ. If this helps anyone please comment and let me know. Thanks
Thank you!! ❤
The will is keep the commandments, put God first and you will experience heaven here on earth, how do i know because sometimes i experience it like today for short bursts, Jesus said if you search for him with all your mind and heart you will find him, thats when he starts speaking to you, you saved by grace alone not through your own works, he who does the will of the father is the one who keeps the commandments, Jesus came to-set us free from everything, blessed is he who comes in the name of the lord, every knee shall bow and every tounge shall confess that Christ is lord
judging from the comments and having listened to this presentation I can see where there is confusion among many. It is important to stress up front that the kingdom of Heaven is the earthly kingdom set up after the tribulation, the people at that time are those who have endured the tribulation period, it is NOT the class of humanity that was saved by grace since since the time that Jesus was resurrected. But rather it is those that are alive and endured the suffering, stood steadfast for God and denied the Antichrist, during the tribulation period. The church which comprises all believers, that were called out unto God in the age of grace, have been removed prior to the tribulation, they are in the Kingdom of God and WILL return to Earth with Jesus at the end of the tribulation, the beginning of the Kingdom of Heaven and they are part of the Kingdom of Heaven because they are of the Kingdom of God. Traditional interpretation is that the kingdom of Heaven is a subset of the kingdom of God, which is over all. This is my understanding and hopefully it is correct and will help ease some of the confusion of what I think is trying to be said.
I think you explained that very well! I just watched his Kingdom series a few weeks ago and my mind was blown. So many verses that were unclear to me for 40+ years are now crystal clear. I think most people in the comments who are disagreeing need to watch that series so they’ll understand what he’s meaning in this video.
That’s amazing jet boat! You might have to bring that down to Florida to play around with that special if you want a 40 pound catfish!🤣 that’s a nicYou got there your work looks impeccable …precision!
My husband built a boat. He got the shell of a 43 foot Torres from Key West and it build his Commercial Fishing Vesseland she is still running strong but first he had to build a 30 x 40 garage all by himself and it’s amazing what one man can do by himself. It’s really amazing your work & very Admirable. The dedication, the patience, the artwork, the creativity, and all that time you spend with Jesus while you’re working on that! It’s a beautiful thing❤️🙏
It takes much creativity and patience to build something that will float and fly on water .
My husband built a 43 foot Torres vessel in 1992. It was launched it took four years to build. She is still running strong. It is a commercial grouper boat and the Gulf of Mexico. He had to build a 30 x 40 garage and that he built by himself. It’s amazing what one man can do.
I love this series
i love these studies. thanks for recommending me to the logos bible tool im learning alot!!!!
Really glad I found this channel and that Jesus keeps leading me in the right direction. I was looking for more bible study and this is great
The question is then what works do we do to enter the kingdom, and is this kingdom only for the Israelites? What is the outer darkness (can a born again believer be cast out for not having the works)? Also where is David said to reign again? I'm very interested in this.
Seems to fit what Christ told the church of Thyatira: some He was pleased with and were told they would rule the nations with an iron rod (millennial reign) and some were tolerating immorality and where told they would be cast into great tribulation if they didn’t repent.
"I am astonished that you are so quickly the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel -- which is really no gospel at all", wrote the Apostle Paul to the Christians at Ephesus.

Well broke down and divided. God bless sir.
Wow some of the comments really expose the true intentions of the heart of the commentor.
Your thoughts on the Geneva Bible, and verse's changed or left out from the King James....
This is sound teaching! Not because Michael Pearl is teaching it, but because this IS what the Bible teaches rightly divided. Wonderful teaching brother.. Thank you Jesus for men like mister Pearl.
🙏
Romans 3:20 KJV
[20] Therefore by the [deeds of the law] there shall no [flesh be justified] in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
We are justified by faith in Jesus Christ (first) And our works that proceed us, it's both that is why Christ will judge us according to our (works)
Revelation 20:13,15 KJV
[13] And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were [judged every man] according to their [works.]
[15] And whosoever was not found [written in the book of life] was [cast into] the [lake of fire.]
James 2:26 KJV
[26] For as the body without the spirit is dead, so [faith] [without works] is [dead] also.
Ecclesiastes 12:14 KJV
For God shall bring every [work into judgment,] with [every secret thing,] whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Works without faith is dead, as is faith without works. No need to say you don’t need one or the other. Works done for works sake, with no real faith, won’t help you. If you do have true faith, you will do good works.
My cousin has been doing a lot of Bible studying. And I just used to think the same thing that kingdom of God the kingdom of heaven were the same thing. Maybe that study guide will be a great gift for her.
They are one and the same, the Millennium, and being counted as worthy to enter it at the Judgement Seat of Christ through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth per 2 Thes 2 13/14
The people that said Lord Lord didn’t we prophesy in your name and cast out demons in your name were boasting and trusting in their good works to save them rather than trusting in the finished work of Jesus on the Cross. There will be no boasters in heaven. Ephesians 2:8-9. If you say good works are needed to save us you are spitting in the Lord’s face and telling him his perfect, sinless blood wasn’t good enough. That sounds like pride to me, the very reason Satan was cast down from heaven.
@@johnhoffman8203 They are not the same. He explains it around 7:00.
Eph 2.10, good works, that we should walk in them. This is the reason for spirit rebirth/called/justified. The whole of scripture is to be worthy to enter the KOH/KOG (MIllennium) in a glorified body to serve Christ for 1K years. His work on the cross gave us justification, but His resurrection gave us sanctification if we pursue it. The gift is faith, we use it for sanctification/reward.
Hello Doug:
Peter and the other apostles, except Paul, was given the gospel of the kingdom, which is NOT in effect today, which offered salvation and the kingdom to primarily the Jewish people by faith. They were under the law but NOT saved by the law. No person can keep all of the law, so every person is fully condemned by the law. EVERY saved person in the history of the earth will be saved by GRACE (UNDESERVED GIFT) through FAITH, plus Nothing.
The gospel of the kingdom: All they had to believe was WHO Jesus was/is: God the Son, the King, the messiah/savior; with that faith they would have salvation and the kingdom.
John 6:47 (KJV) "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that Believeth on me hath everlasting life."
The kingdom is the 1,000 year kingdom on earth that was, and will be, offered primarily to the Jewish people. Lord Jesus will rule over it, and the born-again Christians will be co-heirs and reign with Lord Jesus over the kingdom. The kingdom will be offered Again ONLY in the tribulation; that is when the gospel of the kingdom will be in effect. Matthew 24:14 (KJV), “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24 is conveyed concerning unbelieving people that go into the tribulation, because they were not born-again/saved under Paul’s gospel and removed at the rapture. The rapture was a mystery, unknown before Paul, and it was given to Paul only.
The gospel of grace was given to Paul ONLY and is the Only gospel available to ANY person today: Salvation is received by faith trusting ONLY on Lord Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Believer is SPIRITUALLY Baptized into the body of Christ when they Believe only on Jesus’ (God the Son) death (includes the shedding of his blood), burial, and resurrection, plus nothing. A Born-Again believer is Not trying to enter the kingdom, they will rule and reign over the kingdom. We are NOT under OT law, so we are not commanded to be water baptized; we are SPIRITUALLY baptized by God to make the Believer Born-Again (Spiritually Sinless):
Romans 10:4 (KJV), “For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.”
1 Corinthians 12:13 (KJV), “For by one Spirit are we all (SPIRITUALLY NOT WATER) baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.”
Water Baptism cannot be part of HOW a person is saved / born-again.
1 Corinthians 1:17 (KJV) - “For Christ sent me NOT to BAPTIZE, but to preach the gospel; not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of NO EFFECT.”
The gospel (good news on HOW to be saved) of Grace given to Paul only, and the ONLY Gospel available to ANY person today:
The UNDESERVED FREE GIFT of Salvation is received by ANY person that Trusts in their Heart ONLY on Jesus’ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) DEATH (includes the shedding of Lord Jesus’ blood), BURIAL, and RESURRECTION for salvation, with NO faith for salvation on any type of human effort, works, or claimed positive human qualities. When a person believes only on the good news (gospel) of salvation, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV), summarized above, ONCE, God Immediately makes the believer born-again (permanently spiritually SINLESS in God’s eyes regarding standing and salvation).
See that the Old and New Testament both say all people are condemned by the law, not saved by the law: So, trying to enter the kingdom, or be saved today under the gospel of grace, with faith on ANY works means NO Salvation.
Our BEST righteous acts, for the purpose or earning or qualifying for salvation, are as FILTHY RAGS:
Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”
Galatians 5:4 (KJV), “Christ is become of NO EFFECT unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law (works); ye are fallen (separated) from grace (not saved).
Galatians 3:10 (KJV), “For as many as are of the works of the law ARE UNDER THE CURSE; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.” (We CAN’T keep all of the law (not sin) and are therefore condemned by the law.)
Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV), “Not everyone that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful WORKS? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."
(Notice that trusting on WORKS for salvation and/or entering the kingdom means NO salvation). Believing, plus Nothing, is the only way to be saved.
“Doing the WILL OF THE FATHER” is BELIEVING ON THE SON. John 6:40 (KJV), “And this is the WILL of him that sent me, that everyone which seeth the Son, and BELIEVETH on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.”
HOW to be saved today and leave in the rapture; or be saved before the rapture when a person dies:
Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by GRACE are ye saved through faith; and that NOT of YOURSELVES: it is the gift of God; NOT of WORKS, lest any man should boast.”
(GRACE means UNDESERVED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. We must trust ONLY on the payment for all sins that Lord Jesus made at the cross.)
Romans 11:6 (KJV), “And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace....” (Trusting on ANY human effort or works means that person is not under grace, but is attempting to qualify for salvation by the law/commandment keeping/human effort, and is therefore NOT saved).
Will (work)of God: John 6 : 29,
"Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent. "
Thank God the Bride is under grace.
Salvation unto sanctification, not the other way around. I believe you have these terms intertwined.
No one said to sin or disobey commandments. I certainly didn't.
-For IF you love Him you will keep His commandments. I doubt you can be born again, not loving Jesus and His gospel.
IF you believe in Lordship Salvation, you are in some type of cult. It strays from Christianity to reject the blood atonement of Christ ALONE for your salvation.
Also, you can't keep the law. Most people can't even name the Ten Commandments, the 600+ sins of Moses, or the countless sins of omission.
May I ask, are you catholic?@James-qy6fb
❤SALVATION 101
We are SAVED by GOD, by Doing His Will, and BELIEVING In His SON
Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, But the one who Does the WILL Of My FATHER, who is in heaven
John 6:40 MY FATHER’S WILL is that everyone who looks to the Son and BELIEVES in HIM shall have eternal life
John 3:16 For GOD so Loved the World that HE Gave (Sacrificed to Die) HIS only SON so that Whoever BELIEVES in HIM, shall not perish, but have ever lasting Life
Love u Uncle ❤❤
Mind that isreal held to the letter of the law but God knew their hearts were far from him and lamented. He didn't want their empty praise and meaningless rituals, he wanted them to dispense justice! Provide for the widow! Care for the orphan!
Love your neighbor as you love yourself and love God with all your heart, soul, mind and body!
Come Lord Yeshua Jesus Christ 🙏
This makes so much sense.
I wanted to get your Kingdom book 📖, but I’m in Australia the total cost to me including shipping I’d 79.00 dollars. Do you have a place in Australia I can get one ?
Regards
Paul
