I remember a Pastor use to tell me, works isn’t for salvation it’s living out salvation. Jesus kept saying he was the light of the world but Towards the end he said go now your the light of the world.
We don’t do Works to be saved or to stay saved. Having Salvation has nothing to do with our lifestyle. Works is separate from salvation its what we do to help God bring people to the knowledge of God.
exactly. when we are saved and we are given the holy spirit doing good works will come naturally for us, but it is not to buy salvation or earn our way into heaven because jesus already took care of that for us, we do it out of our love for god. i was once addicted to drugs and alcohol, depressed and having anxiety disorders and i was a satanist. then i met the real christ and everything changed for me. once i knew who he actually was and not who i used to think he was i accepted him as my lord and savior and he then cured me of my addictions and mental health issues. now i love god and my life is completely different and im actually happy and at peace. god changes you for the better and doing works doesnt feel lika a choir at all, i want to do them. and when we are doing works and people see our joy in christ we become the lamp he puts where everyone can see it, and its for the glory of god.
@@DimitriDorval I don't think that's what the comment says. The comment says "works isn't FOR salvation", but rather it's how the light of God shines through us.
@@DimitriDorvalwhat a load of garbage, have you even read the NT. This kind of easy-believism heresy is why mathew 24 was written. The ignorant belief that real transformation takes place internally with zero affect on anything externally is just biblical ignorance. Have you even read Paul's 13 letters they are literally about a believers lifestyle after regeneration. Paul's transformation was immediate, decisive, applicable, and full of obedience and repentance and righteousness. Every verb Paul uses to describe the believer is active not idle. This is what not reading scripture looks like plain and simple!!
@@edwinherrera6840 keeping the commandments are work and you should absolutely do that, but not to ear or maintain salvation, but because they are the right thing to do. Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast. John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. here the bible clearly states that you are saved by grace through faith and its a gift from god, not a reward for your efforts. and then tells you to keep the commandments out of love for god, and if you read those commandments they instruct behavior that will bring out a better world for everyone so its also not just to please god but to make life better for everyone. and this is my understanding of it.
John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branch. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit. apart from me you can do nothing. I was just listening to this the other night and I didn't quite grasp the message. This video has helped me to understand now. Thank you Jesus 🙏
@ it’s actually quite the opposite. That’s why context is important. You’re referring to Mathew 7:21-23.That’s actually for people who rely on works to be saved, and dont have genuine faith. Mathew 7:21-23 KJV. 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. 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 works iniquity. If people rely on their works to be saved why does Jesus turn down people who have wonderful works? Because they don’t have genuine faith and rely on works. Even Jesus calls them workers of iniquity. He says only people who do the fathers will, will be saved. Do you know the fathers will? John 6:40 KJV 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. Nothing to do with works.
@@tyvsty whatever you do should be guided by the Lord even if it's "good works". If I go to another country to be a missionary, that act is considered good works but was it under God's direction? That's where relationship comes in. God do not want us to accept him then lean onto our own understanding. In all our ways we ought to acknowledge him and he shall direct our paths. Anything other than that we are going to hear "depart from me, I knew you not".
be careful not to get condemnation and Holy Spirit conviction mixed up, faith without works being dead absolutely means we have to do things for the Lord and His people. This man teaches HERESY Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
@ thanks, I get it for sure. I have no problem doing the work God has for me and am more than willing, what I’ve dealt with lately is after backsliding looking to my works to validate my salvation and it’s lead to complete and utter burnout and extreme frustration when I feel like I’m going through all the motions when my heart isn’t in it because I’m not taking care of myself and my motives are wrong. I agree that those things are important and I need to listen to conviction, but it got out of hand and I needed to realize it’s still simply the blood of Christ that saved me and keeps me saved. Not my good deeds. The deeds should always flow from relationship and a grateful heart, not of fear and obligation.
@@dubs33 I think you’re also misunderstanding what he is saying, he’s not saying “oh works don’t matter” but he is saying they have ZERO part in earning or maintaining salvation. Which is true. It’s a work of God in our lives and His continual work throughout our lives that saves us, not our own efforts. And if we aren’t willing to do good works at all then I’d say something is probably wrong, but you also have to remember there is seasons where we don’t bear fruit, seasons of preparation, testing, discipline, etc. and this idea that you have to keep looking at your works to validate your salvation is harmful to the church in my experience. Look at psalms 1:3-6 and how it mentions bearing fruit IN ITS SEASON. James is a tricky book, but I think you have to be very careful otherwise you start bordering on legalism and pietism.
God is so good, I’ve been in James for a couple days and I asked God yesterday to clarify this for me as well and I open TH-cam and it was the first video recommended and it was posted yesterday! Praise the Lord!
This man teaches heresy Mathew 25:41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
When we begin to live meekness and love for the people around us, they can learn how great God is by our works and thats how we can try to save their souls too, they will start to reach out to God. Such a great video. Thank you so much, i've learnt so much from you already. Greetings, a women from switzerland😊
"...May them see your good deeds and the light that comes out from you so may them praise Your Father in the skies, Who is watching in heavens" I guess is Mattew chapter 5 (Sermon of the moutain)
Tbh honest i would come here watch videos and say to myself this is a lot of heresy and a lot of hyper grace bs. But after reading my bible more and some of your videos more with a humble heart i’m remembering that it really is 100 percent God and 0 percent us. When i was first saved i had a supernatural encounter with Jesus where i just KNEW he was lord and I KNEW that it was by faith and NOT by any forms of works, that we get to heaven not by ANYTHING we do but by everything that Jesus did. And I backslided and went back into this works based doctrine for so long and when i would see these videos i would feel demons stir up inside me. Your doing the will of the Holy spirit Johnny, praying you continue to preach and teach the Word with BOLDNESS!!!!!
@ then go find a homeless person right now and give them food and clothing. If you don’t, your faith is dead 🪦😵 And you know what, every time you see a homeless person, you have to give them food and clothing. It’s necessary right? Isn’t your faith dead if you don’t?
I completely understand & it’s in the “work” part I fall short. I still have a hard time believing I don’t have to “do” anything. Me just being is enough. Raised as work=love makes it that much harder. Thanks for this reminder
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will guide you to do the good work of partnering with the Holy Spirit to fulfill The Great Commission of evangelizing and making disciples of people around you. But this will be a natural outflow of your intimate relationship with Him and not a contrived work done under your own intellect and strength. Jesus finished his work, that allows us Salvation and Eternal Life, but we have work still to do per Jesus command (John 14:12), as did Peter, James, John, Paul, and all the apostles and people of God and the brother who is speaking in this podcast.
John 6:40 says, "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day” Is that simple that’s why is called the good news, is too good to be true. That’s how easy it is to get into heaven just read about the thief on the cross. He lived a life of sin especially bad ones to get himself crucified, he didn’t repent of sins, he didn’t have a “relationship”, he probably never even prayed in his life. Unfortunately Satan is in these churches and are making people think if they don’t repent for their sins and ancestors sins and get delivered from demons every month while also praying in tongues then you aren’t saved. You also need to have a “radical” awakening and have a ton of signs and miracles to stay saved despite it being a gift.
HE TEACHES HERESY Mathew 25:41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
“And you don’t give them those things which are NEEDFUL to the body,” clearly refers to addressing the physical needs to the body of someone in need. It’s why many people call Christian’s hypocritical, because they talk the talk but do not as they say. Jesus said to give to whomsoever asks, not to question them or preach the Gospel. Let your love and compassion do the preaching sometimes. However-because the Word of God is a FOUNTAIN of Wisdom, we will always receive more and more revelation of it. It doesn’t mean that the message God initially gave was incorrect or that the latter is incorrect. It just speaks to the profoundness and depths of Scripture and its author and how both give continually.
I have never heard this interpretation of these scriptures anywhere . What a sermon dear brother. Cleared out lot of junk and garbage out of me. Thank you so much. God bless you brother.🎉
This is the sermon from James. May all the disciples of Christ say AMEN to these. James 2:14 [14]What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
@H.E.M. Amen. Now can you also say amen to Christ who said we need works as well? God bless John 5:29 [29]And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. Matthew 10:22 [22]And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 2 Timothy 2:12 [12]If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: John 15:6 [6]If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. John 3:3,5 [3]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. [5]Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Matthew 18:3 [3]And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 7:21 [21]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. John 8:51 [51]Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. Romans 10:9 [9]That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Galatians 6:8 [8]For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. James 1:21 [21]Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. James 2:5 [5]Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? James 2:14,24 [14]What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? [24]Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. James 1:12 [12]Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
The Holy Spirit produces the work in us. It's that burning desire to do the will of the Father by yielding to the Holy Spirit and allowing God to use us to do His will. I believe most of us shrink back because we haven't surrendered to the will of God. Philippians 2:13 in Other Translations 13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. 13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
It means True Faith, Saving faith will generate good works from a changed heart and improving life. No change at all in heart, mind, will or works means no true faith was achieved. Faith has its own power. It doesn't ever fail to transform the situation at hand.
It’s sad how the enemy has most believers thinking they’re own “works” play a role in their salvation. Satan has them deceived thinking THEY can do something to keep or maintain it or that they work to attain it. They always have it misconstrued thinking that if someone believes it’s by faith alone, we can do whatever we want, or “free gracers” as they say. Thank you God for doing the ultimate WORK we could never do and giving us this free gift.
@ you should looking into the actually belief of it. It’s not even close to biblical and far from what I believe. Meanwhile, you believe you save yourself. What’s the point of Jesus? You clearly don’t need him. Keep believing you have to work for your salvation and see how that goes for you.
@ Gnostics believed in that humans contain a divine spark or fragment of a higher reality within them. True salvation comes not through faith or good deeds but through personal, esoteric knowledge (gnosis) of this divine origin, which can free one's soul from the material world. Which is clearly not the gospel of Jesus Christ or relates to anything I mentioned. Gnostic teachings often diverged from mainstream Christian, Jewish, or Greco-Roman religious ideas. They tended to reinterpret established religious figures and narratives, and many early Gnostic sects saw figures like Jesus as spiritual guides who revealed hidden truths rather than as saviors in the conventional sense. Which is straight up heresy. That’s not even close to what I believe nor commented so nice try. They reject Jesus and putting faith on him.
That's because there are believers who truly believe their actions don't matter because they "believe". Christians aren't assuming people are "freegracers" this is what they are saying themselves, there are many people who will argue they can technically sin all they want because God only requires their faith. Maybe it should be explained what it means to put your faith in Jesus. Because people think it means to simply believe he's real.
This is the sermon from James. Now may all the disciples of Christ say AMEN to these. James 2:14 [14]What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
This makes perfect sense! “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? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:16, 26 KJV How do we get the spirit, through Jesus and his righteousness by faith! “Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:31-33 KJV
no this is out of context and heresy! Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Thank you for being a real OG for Christ and teaching the Word of God in context which so many fail to do, and lead so many innocent people into deception. God bless you.
@carlorivera3035 thankyou brother in Christ. I was really meditating on James chapter 2 last night, it kept me up all night and I was taken to the same James just a few pages later on Chapter 4:17 "Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. " Apostle Paul puts it very beautifully in Phillipinans 1:15-18 "15.Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good will: 16.The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17.But the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; an in this I rejoice, yes, and we will rejoice."
@wasdspace8159 Thank God, my brother. Let us celebrate in that many of us are glorifying the Lord. At the same time, we need to nudge our brothers gently out of love so we can reach "unity of faith and knowledge." (Ephesians 4:13) This is important as a vast number of preachers are conveying the idea that faith without works saves, which is true by the way according to Ephesians 2:8,9. However, the problem appears when they neglect to preach (and sometimes they even reject) verses showing the relevance and importance of good works, of endurance, of KEEPING the faith, and of love and its superiority over faith (1 Corinthians 13:2,13) as far as being saved and REMAINING saved is concerned. Here are some of the relevant verses my friend. Please find the time to meditate on them, too, brother. I pray everyone could say amen to them -- not just Ephesians 2. After all these are words from our Savior. God bless John 5:29 [29]And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. Matthew 10:22 [22]And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 2 Timothy 2:12 [12]If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: John 15:6 [6]If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. John 3:3,5 [3]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. [5]Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. Matthew 18:3 [3]And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 7:21 [21]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. John 8:51 [51]Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. Romans 10:9 [9]That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. Galatians 6:8 [8]For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. James 1:21 [21]Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. James 2:5 [5]Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him? James 1:12 [12]Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Amen! im confident to say the closest you get to God, you want to do works to thank him. ''Not because i have too but because I love you'' Beautiful lyrics from Tiffany Hudson in her song Obey
Amen Brother, That is a great Bible Lesson. Your testimony is powerful what Jesus did in your life what he forgave you for, That he brings you from death to life. From not knowing to your eyes being opened to your Sin. I was dead without knowing I was dead it took Jesus to open my eyes and he is still healing me today and directing my path.
This is the sermon from James. May all the disciples of Christ say AMEN to these. James 2:14 [14]What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
this man teaches heresy Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Bro!!!!! I know God led me to this today! This has been upon my heart and spirit for some time. Thank you for revealing this Holy Spirit and helping us now, today in Jesus name to be Discipled correctly through the spirit of the living God and through teaching poured out through Brother Johnny. Thank you for tearing down and dismantling every false teaching, false prophecy and false laying of hands in Jesus name. Amen.
HE TEACHES HERESY Mathew 25:41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
@dubs33 you do know Jesus came and preached differently than the pharisees, and they condemned him for heresy. While he was preaching the good news and giving humanity hope, Pharisees and Scribes condemned him to death quoting scriptures while they feel like the most righteous people in the world, they had a greater curse because inside they had no goodness, or love in them.
Hi, Johnny! I can definitely relate somewhat to what you’re saying and experience somewhat. I’m still going through the of shredding my sins away now I realized it and what bad habits I need to give up. I got a message to spread the lord message too. If this message finds you, it was from our lord. I’ll tell you the rest later when our father connects us
If you truly love Jesus good heart and good works comes to you naturally you are not helping them for benifits but you are helping them out of love. Praise Jesus
One thing I’ve always struggle with is wondering what can I really do for The Creator of the universe?!? What can I do? I can do nothing. So what works can I do? Excellent way to explain in words what I’ve always struggled to put into words!
My brother hats off to you. Exactly what Jesus taught me. Even when the Bible talks about helping orphans who don't have a father it's talking about people who don't have Christ through the Gospel because they don't have the Father.
Wow!!Thanks for the simplicity to understand what this truly means!I’ve never read neither heard it in its true content!Have to study more!Thank you Johnny!
THIS IS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONEXT AND IS HERESY! Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Johnny, you just popped up on my TH-cam. I so loved your testimony and did not know you had a channel. Thank you for your testimony it was a blessing. Now a subcriber, and liking your delivery of scripture very cool, keep being broken dor Christ, and driving. God bless you in the name of Christ.
Amen to that bro! I have a morman friend and he keeps telling me "you need to give and do good works for others" and in my mind im like bro im already saved. God doesnt look at ppl in how well theyre doing for others. Just as long as we have faith in jesus and knowing he nailed it on the cross for us is all that matters. Still love the dude thou😂
Truly led by the Spirit, i try and explain this to other christians and they still don’t get it. Brings the passage from john 14:9, when Jesus questions phillip, you been with me this long and still dont know me, exactly like alot of proclaiming christians you read the word and still don’t know God
WRONG. This man teaches complete HERESY, took every single verse out of context and made fun of people struggling. Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
@ easy to quote a Passage but do you understand what Jesus is speaking here ? What did Chang say that was incorrect? Was it because it wasn’t what your OPINION agreed with? Show me where he misused the scripture in this Talk please You’re completely confused talking about something else that has nothing to do with the topic he is speaking about.
@dubs33 ohhh here you are again saying heresy this heresy that.. Good luck with your works buddy I'm sure they are more powerful and righteous and Soul saving than the BLOOD of Jesus.
Vessel for Satan! He teaches heresy Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
I agree that faith is the first step towards salvation and works is how you live out and maintain your faith. So the end result is always the same. If we do not have works then our faith is dead meaning that we need both.
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for giving this message through the Holy Spirit in Johnny Chang. Studying scripture with scripture. 🙌🏼 YES AND AMEN! This is how Bible study is done! The Holy Spirit has been guiding me this way as I’ve continued to read, and it’s amazing to see this being shown in the light. I’ll even add to that, a brother, sister & mother defined by The Lord is this: “Who is my mother? And who are my brethren?’ And he stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, ‘Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.”-Matthew 12:48-50 I encourage all brothers and sisters to study this way. Beautiful! It makes studying so fun because you’re searching and looking for the hidden treasures in His word to be given the whole meat of the passage. Absolutely love it! Thank you for all that you do in The Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord bless you and keep you, brother. Today and for evermore! In Jesus mighty name. Hallelujah, Amen! 🙏🏼🤍
salvation is Jesus but to receive it we do works for Him because we have His Holy Spirit Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
NO, HE IS STOPPING PEOPLE FROM SERVING THE LORD BY TEACHING HERESY AND FALSE DOCTRINE Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
he did not simplify it at all, actually did the complete opposite taking everything out of context and taught heresy, this is dangerous, we need to actually provide for our brothers and sisters in Christ with food and clothes not just saying ‘Jesus loves you’ 🤦♂️
Mathew 25:41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’ 44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Wow you can tell when Jesus uses a brother or sister to open the simple minded like myself.! True Faith in Jesus will always be revealed to when called upon.! Thank you and God Bless you Johnny🙏
In James it's actually and literally talking about a brother or sister being naked( or poorly clothed) as to where the nakedness in Isaiah is used metaphorically for sin being uncovered. Because if your naked that means your already uncovered right so when it's used in this way you nakedness ( sin) will be uncovered you can see how it's used metaphorically and not literally as in James. Although you can interpret James as Johnny is doing so, the actual meaning of naked in James is literal not metaphoric like in Isaiah.
Apostle Paul was talking about Grace and James mistook Paul's subject for faith - "for BY GRACE YOU ARE SAVED through faith, and not of works." Faith is not the subject - Grace is. Grace is free. Unmerited, no amount of works will bring about this grace but God's love for His creation. Faith is never free - it demands bearing of fruit. The Lord said we must bear fruit. The Lord said we must make our light so shine before men so they will see our good works and glorify our Father. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself puts grace and faith this way: "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness so The Son of Man must be lifted up (grace), so whoever believes in Him (faith) should not perish but have everlasting life." The Lord never exempted works from belief in Him. He always said "he who hears My words and DOES THEM is like one building his house on a rock " Neither did Apostle Paul because he plainly said "For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him. Psalm 49:6 puts grace this way: No one can redeem the life of his brother or give to God a ransom (Grace) for him, for the ransom for a life is costly, it ceases forever, that a man should live forever and not die.
My understanding has always been the faith that you gain and utilize must be tried and tested to show its works not for recognition but to be done to prove to self that thru you the will of God be done as it has been done for you when naked or in youth
been following ur journey since the beginning. Even joined ur bible study thing online. Just glad the Lord brought another soldier into his army. God bless
Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for the least of these, you did not do for me. Yes, our Lord Jesus wants us to do more than just believe in him.
My brother, if you come across this comment, please respond because I have some questions. Let me start with this one. In the book of revelations, Jesus constantly rebukes the church because their works are not perfect in the sight of God. Some churches tolerated Jezebel, others lost her first love meaning Jesus, others were pretending to be alive, but we’re almost dead had a reputation for being alive, I believe in the message of Grace, but to say that Jesus doesn’t expect things out of us to bear good fruit etc is misleading
Thank you Johnny Chang
Mind Smash! What a trip, used to watch your videos back when DC and Conor still fought. God bless brother 🙏
@mindsmashreal thank you for tuning in! Love your vids
Cool seeing you here MindSmash. I used to watch your videos religiously when I was younger
@@tonybolony1233Pray for me and my family.
Yo mindsmash in the house of Johnny as well. Cheers!
I remember a Pastor use to tell me, works isn’t for salvation it’s living out salvation. Jesus kept saying he was the light of the world but Towards the end he said go now your the light of the world.
We don’t do Works to be saved or to stay saved. Having Salvation has nothing to do with our lifestyle. Works is separate from salvation its what we do to help God bring people to the knowledge of God.
exactly. when we are saved and we are given the holy spirit doing good works will come naturally for us, but it is not to buy salvation or earn our way into heaven because jesus already took care of that for us, we do it out of our love for god.
i was once addicted to drugs and alcohol, depressed and having anxiety disorders and i was a satanist. then i met the real christ and everything changed for me. once i knew who he actually was and not who i used to think he was i accepted him as my lord and savior and he then cured me of my addictions and mental health issues. now i love god and my life is completely different and im actually happy and at peace. god changes you for the better and doing works doesnt feel lika a choir at all, i want to do them.
and when we are doing works and people see our joy in christ we become the lamp he puts where everyone can see it, and its for the glory of god.
@@DimitriDorval I don't think that's what the comment says. The comment says "works isn't FOR salvation", but rather it's how the light of God shines through us.
@@DimitriDorvalwhat a load of garbage, have you even read the NT. This kind of easy-believism heresy is why mathew 24 was written. The ignorant belief that real transformation takes place internally with zero affect on anything externally is just biblical ignorance. Have you even read Paul's 13 letters they are literally about a believers lifestyle after regeneration. Paul's transformation was immediate, decisive, applicable, and full of obedience and repentance and righteousness. Every verb Paul uses to describe the believer is active not idle. This is what not reading scripture looks like plain and simple!!
@@edwinherrera6840 keeping the commandments are work and you should absolutely do that, but not to ear or maintain salvation, but because they are the right thing to do.
Ephesians 2:8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast.
John 14:15
If ye love me, keep my commandments.
here the bible clearly states that you are saved by grace through faith and its a gift from god, not a reward for your efforts. and then tells you to keep the commandments out of love for god, and if you read those commandments they instruct behavior that will bring out a better world for everyone so its also not just to please god but to make life better for everyone. and this is my understanding of it.
John 15:5 I am the vine; you are the branch. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit. apart from me you can do nothing.
I was just listening to this the other night and I didn't quite grasp the message. This video has helped me to understand now. Thank you Jesus 🙏
It means you got faith, great, now put in the work to change, deny youself, and live righteously. ❤
but the thing is Jesus is the one who changes us and not us, it's a process called sanctification.
James 2:14
[14]What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Jesus already put in the work to change us.
Come and enter His rest with us brother.
@@domainmora2451 James 2:14
[14]What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
Romans 4:5 KJV
[5] But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
Let’s not misconstrue “what do I do to get saved” and “what do i do now that I’m saved”. Two very different things.
For what i understand, if you had faith but never had works, then Jesus doesn't know you, and works is anything that God tells you to do and you do it
@ it’s actually quite the opposite. That’s why context is important. You’re referring to Mathew 7:21-23.That’s actually for people who rely on works to be saved, and dont have genuine faith.
Mathew 7:21-23 KJV.
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.
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 works iniquity.
If people rely on their works to be saved why does Jesus turn down people who have wonderful works? Because they don’t have genuine faith and rely on works. Even Jesus calls them workers of iniquity.
He says only people who do the fathers will, will be saved. Do you know the fathers will?
John 6:40 KJV
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.
Nothing to do with works.
@@ArrozAmarelado exactly!!!
@@tyvsty whatever you do should be guided by the Lord even if it's "good works". If I go to another country to be a missionary, that act is considered good works but was it under God's direction? That's where relationship comes in. God do not want us to accept him then lean onto our own understanding. In all our ways we ought to acknowledge him and he shall direct our paths. Anything other than that we are going to hear "depart from me, I knew you not".
@@trotmanjennifer5209 the Bible says other wise. I get quoted still scripture and you still deny it.
Your ministry is breaking strongholds and setting me free from condemnation and confusion truly thank you and thank GOD most of all.
be careful not to get condemnation and Holy Spirit conviction mixed up, faith without works being dead absolutely means we have to do things for the Lord and His people. This man teaches HERESY Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
@ thanks, I get it for sure. I have no problem doing the work God has for me and am more than willing, what I’ve dealt with lately is after backsliding looking to my works to validate my salvation and it’s lead to complete and utter burnout and extreme frustration when I feel like I’m going through all the motions when my heart isn’t in it because I’m not taking care of myself and my motives are wrong. I agree that those things are important and I need to listen to conviction, but it got out of hand and I needed to realize it’s still simply the blood of Christ that saved me and keeps me saved. Not my good deeds. The deeds should always flow from relationship and a grateful heart, not of fear and obligation.
@@dubs33 I think you’re also misunderstanding what he is saying, he’s not saying “oh works don’t matter” but he is saying they have ZERO part in earning or maintaining salvation. Which is true. It’s a work of God in our lives and His continual work throughout our lives that saves us, not our own efforts. And if we aren’t willing to do good works at all then I’d say something is probably wrong, but you also have to remember there is seasons where we don’t bear fruit, seasons of preparation, testing, discipline, etc. and this idea that you have to keep looking at your works to validate your salvation is harmful to the church in my experience. Look at psalms 1:3-6 and how it mentions bearing fruit IN ITS SEASON. James is a tricky book, but I think you have to be very careful otherwise you start bordering on legalism and pietism.
I prayed few hours for God to explain this in James 1 God has answered my prayers
I highly recommend to read James chapter 2 the whole chapter, it will help clarify it more.
Nice life
God is so good, I’ve been in James for a couple days and I asked God yesterday to clarify this for me as well and I open TH-cam and it was the first video recommended and it was posted yesterday! Praise the Lord!
What did god tell you?

Brother you teach in a way that is so easy to understand. Great teacher. THANK YOU 🙏
When we begin to live meekness and love for the people around us, they can learn how great God is by our works and thats how we can try to save their souls too, they will start to reach out to God. Such a great video. Thank you so much, i've learnt so much from you already. Greetings, a women from switzerland😊
"...May them see your good deeds and the light that comes out from you so may them praise Your Father in the skies, Who is watching in heavens"
I guess is Mattew chapter 5 (Sermon of the moutain)
Tbh honest i would come here watch videos and say to myself this is a lot of heresy and a lot of hyper grace bs. But after reading my bible more and some of your videos more with a humble heart i’m remembering that it really is 100 percent God and 0 percent us. When i was first saved i had a supernatural encounter with Jesus where i just KNEW he was lord and I KNEW that it was by faith and NOT by any forms of works, that we get to heaven not by ANYTHING we do but by everything that Jesus did. And I backslided and went back into this works based doctrine for so long and when i would see these videos i would feel demons stir up inside me. Your doing the will of the Holy spirit Johnny, praying you continue to preach and teach the Word with BOLDNESS!!!!!
aye bro, it’s been 1 month since you commented but you cracked the code. it’s 100% percent God and 0% us
Romans 9:16. ESV So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.
Wow you broke it down in a way I've never heard before. Thank you man
because this is complete heresy, this is not what the Bible teaches at all, we need to provide food and clothes not just saying Jesus loves you…
@ then go find a homeless person right now and give them food and clothing. If you don’t, your faith is dead 🪦😵
And you know what, every time you see a homeless person, you have to give them food and clothing. It’s necessary right? Isn’t your faith dead if you don’t?
Of course we are to help the needy. It’s both
Thanks!
I completely understand & it’s in the “work” part I fall short. I still have a hard time believing I don’t have to “do” anything.
Me just being is enough.
Raised as work=love makes it that much harder.
Thanks for this reminder
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will guide you to do the good work of partnering with the Holy Spirit to fulfill The Great Commission of evangelizing and making disciples of people around you. But this will be a natural outflow of your intimate relationship with Him and not a contrived work done under your own intellect and strength.
Jesus finished his work, that allows us Salvation and Eternal Life, but we have work still to do per Jesus command (John 14:12), as did Peter, James, John, Paul, and all the apostles and people of God and the brother who is speaking in this podcast.
You don’t have to. Should want to as God leads you.
John 6:40 says, "For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day”
Is that simple that’s why is called the good news, is too good to be true. That’s how easy it is to get into heaven just read about the thief on the cross. He lived a life of sin especially bad ones to get himself crucified, he didn’t repent of sins, he didn’t have a “relationship”, he probably never even prayed in his life.
Unfortunately Satan is in these churches and are making people think if they don’t repent for their sins and ancestors sins and get delivered from demons every month while also praying in tongues then you aren’t saved. You also need to have a “radical” awakening and have a ton of signs and miracles to stay saved despite it being a gift.
HE TEACHES HERESY Mathew 25:41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
“And you don’t give them those things which are NEEDFUL to the body,” clearly refers to addressing the physical needs to the body of someone in need. It’s why many people call Christian’s hypocritical, because they talk the talk but do not as they say. Jesus said to give to whomsoever asks, not to question them or preach the Gospel. Let your love and compassion do the preaching sometimes.
However-because the Word of God is a FOUNTAIN of Wisdom, we will always receive more and more revelation of it. It doesn’t mean that the message God initially gave was incorrect or that the latter is incorrect. It just speaks to the profoundness and depths of Scripture and its author and how both give continually.
I have never heard this interpretation of these scriptures anywhere . What a sermon dear brother. Cleared out lot of junk and garbage out of me. Thank you so much. God bless you brother.🎉

Ok i wish i knew about Johnny earlier. This man has spoke The True Gospel more than the majority of the pastors and priests iv seen.
The Holy Spirit produces the work in us. It's that burning desire to do the will of the Father by yielding to the Holy Spirit and allowing God to use us to do His will. I believe most of us shrink back because we haven't surrendered to the will of God.
Philippians 2:13 in Other Translations
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. 13 For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
It means True Faith, Saving faith will generate good works from a changed heart and improving life. No change at all in heart, mind, will or works means no true faith was achieved. Faith has its own power. It doesn't ever fail to transform the situation at hand.
It’s sad how the enemy has most believers thinking they’re own “works” play a role in their salvation. Satan has them deceived thinking THEY can do something to keep or maintain it or that they work to attain it. They always have it misconstrued thinking that if someone believes it’s by faith alone, we can do whatever we want, or “free gracers” as they say. Thank you God for doing the ultimate WORK we could never do and giving us this free gift.
@ that’s not even close to Gnosticism. and you believe in a works based gospel. Have you read the Bible? It’s clear as day how to receive salivation.
@ you should looking into the actually belief of it. It’s not even close to biblical and far from what I believe. Meanwhile, you believe you save yourself. What’s the point of Jesus? You clearly don’t need him. Keep believing you have to work for your salvation and see how that goes for you.
@
Gnostics believed in that humans contain a divine spark or fragment of a higher reality within them. True salvation comes not through faith or good deeds but through personal, esoteric knowledge (gnosis) of this divine origin, which can free one's soul from the material world. Which is clearly not the gospel of Jesus Christ or relates to anything I mentioned.
Gnostic teachings often diverged from mainstream Christian, Jewish, or Greco-Roman religious ideas. They tended to reinterpret established religious figures and narratives, and many early Gnostic sects saw figures like Jesus as spiritual guides who revealed hidden truths rather than as saviors in the conventional sense. Which is straight up heresy. That’s not even close to what I believe nor commented so nice try. They reject Jesus and putting faith on him.
That's because there are believers who truly believe their actions don't matter because they "believe". Christians aren't assuming people are "freegracers" this is what they are saying themselves, there are many people who will argue they can technically sin all they want because God only requires their faith.
Maybe it should be explained what it means to put your faith in Jesus. Because people think it means to simply believe he's real.
This is the sermon from James. Now may all the disciples of Christ say AMEN to these.
James 2:14
[14]What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
This makes perfect sense!
“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? For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.”
James 2:16, 26 KJV
How do we get the spirit, through Jesus and his righteousness by faith!
“Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”
Matthew 6:31-33 KJV
no this is out of context and heresy! Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
I’m so glad you broke this down a lot of people take this verse out of context! Hallelujah 🙌

The breakdown is beautiful. Thank you Johnny.
This is what my heart has been longing for somebody to explain to me all along.🙏
James 2:14
[14]What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
@carlorivera3035 thankyou brother in Christ. I was really meditating on James chapter 2 last night, it kept me up all night and I was taken to the same James just a few pages later on Chapter 4:17 "Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. " Apostle Paul puts it very beautifully in Phillipinans 1:15-18 "15.Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from good will: 16.The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17.But the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; an in this I rejoice, yes, and we will rejoice."
@wasdspace8159 Thank God, my brother. Let us celebrate in that many of us are glorifying the Lord. At the same time, we need to nudge our brothers gently out of love so we can reach "unity of faith and knowledge." (Ephesians 4:13) This is important as a vast number of preachers are conveying the idea that faith without works saves, which is true by the way according to Ephesians 2:8,9. However, the problem appears when they neglect to preach (and sometimes they even reject) verses showing the relevance and importance of good works, of endurance, of KEEPING the faith, and of love and its superiority over faith (1 Corinthians 13:2,13) as far as being saved and REMAINING saved is concerned.
Here are some of the relevant verses my friend. Please find the time to meditate on them, too, brother. I pray everyone could say amen to them -- not just Ephesians 2. After all these are words from our Savior. God bless

[12]Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him.
Amen! im confident to say the closest you get to God, you want to do works to thank him.
''Not because i have too but because I love you'' Beautiful lyrics from Tiffany Hudson in her song Obey
You broke it down so well.. you’re a good teacher ..
I’m grateful that you made this video. Didn’t really know the true meaning of that scripture. Amazing! Amen! All esteem to TMH. Shalom
Amen Brother, That is a great Bible Lesson. Your testimony is powerful what Jesus did in your life what he forgave you for, That he brings you from death to life. From not knowing to your eyes being opened to your Sin. I was dead without knowing I was dead it took Jesus to open my eyes and he is still healing me today and directing my path.
Tanks Johnny , for years I misunderstood those verses. Now I know I have to read my Bible more carefully.
Beautifully said brother.
May the Lord continue to bless you Ps Chang with wisdom to teach us. Your teaching is so profound and enlightening
I absolutely love that God led me to this channel! Thank you for preaching truth, I can't wait to learn what else Jesus has revealed to you! ❤
This is the sermon from James. May all the disciples of Christ say AMEN to these.
James 2:14
[14]What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him?
this man teaches heresy Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Right on time pastor 🙌🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
I just thank God for you!! 🙏
Bro!!!!! I know God led me to this today! This has been upon my heart and spirit for some time. Thank you for revealing this Holy Spirit and helping us now, today in Jesus name to be Discipled correctly through the spirit of the living God and through teaching poured out through Brother Johnny. Thank you for tearing down and dismantling every false teaching, false prophecy and false laying of hands in Jesus name. Amen.
exactly❤ we need to have faith and transform our hearts.
let's do good things because we're saved not to be saved.
As somebody newly converting from new age I find your videos and insights into the scripture so so beneficial. Thank you. I appreciate you 🌹
Profound. Thank you Lord for leading me to this video so that I can simplify the message evening tighter and concisely..
Wow I didn’t even know I misunderstood the text until I heard you explain this. God bless you brother you are truly here doing the lords work 🙏🏼
HE TEACHES HERESY Mathew 25:41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
@dubs33 you do know Jesus came and preached differently than the pharisees, and they condemned him for heresy. While he was preaching the good news and giving humanity hope, Pharisees and Scribes condemned him to death quoting scriptures while they feel like the most righteous people in the world, they had a greater curse because inside they had no goodness, or love in them.
WOW! MY MIND IS BLOWN! o.o Thank you for sharing the truth, I truly didn't know about that! Again, Thank you!
Hi, Johnny! I can definitely relate somewhat to what you’re saying and experience somewhat. I’m still going through the of shredding my sins away now I realized it and what bad habits I need to give up. I got a message to spread the lord message too. If this message finds you, it was from our lord. I’ll tell you the rest later when our father connects us
If you truly love Jesus good heart and good works comes to you naturally you are not helping them for benifits but you are helping them out of love. Praise Jesus
All the Glory belongs to God! Hello with Love! Peace! Joy in Christ Jesus! Johnny, God Bless you! What an enlightening message. Praise the Lord! Amen!
One thing I’ve always struggle with is wondering what can I really do for The Creator of the universe?!? What can I do? I can do nothing. So what works can I do? Excellent way to explain in words what I’ve always struggled to put into words!
Thank you Brother ❤😊
Thank you brother! I never heard this! May God vontinue to bless you with revelation and every good thing! 🙏❤️🔥
My brother hats off to you. Exactly what Jesus taught me. Even when the Bible talks about helping orphans who don't have a father it's talking about people who don't have Christ through the Gospel because they don't have the Father.
If you say so
What about in the old testament
Excellent brother Chang, keep it going!!
Wow!!Thanks for the simplicity to understand what this truly means!I’ve never read neither heard it in its true content!Have to study more!Thank you Johnny!
THIS IS COMPLETELY OUT OF CONEXT AND IS HERESY! Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Johnny, you just popped up on my TH-cam. I so loved your testimony and did not know you had a channel. Thank you for your testimony it was a blessing. Now a subcriber, and liking your delivery of scripture very cool, keep being broken dor Christ, and driving. God bless you in the name of Christ.
Beautiful explanation
Thoroughly broken down
My brother, amen 🙏 GOD has blessed u to bring the WORD. Ty very much for breaking that down, thank u for that spiritual food! Amen 🙏 🙏
my goodness , “if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.”
2 Corinthians 5:3 makes so much sense 🤯
Amen to that bro! I have a morman friend and he keeps telling me "you need to give and do good works for others" and in my mind im like bro im already saved. God doesnt look at ppl in how well theyre doing for others. Just as long as we have faith in jesus and knowing he nailed it on the cross for us is all that matters. Still love the dude thou😂
Awesome... Broken down in a wonderful way.
Truly led by the Spirit, i try and explain this to other christians and they still don’t get it. Brings the passage from john 14:9, when Jesus questions phillip, you been with me this long and still dont know me, exactly like alot of proclaiming christians you read the word and still don’t know God
WRONG. This man teaches complete HERESY, took every single verse out of context and made fun of people struggling. Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
@ easy to quote a Passage but do you understand what Jesus is speaking here ? What did Chang say that was incorrect? Was it because it wasn’t what your OPINION agreed with? Show me where he misused the scripture in this Talk please You’re completely confused talking about something else that has nothing to do with the topic he is speaking about.
@dubs33 ohhh here you are again saying heresy this heresy that.. Good luck with your works buddy I'm sure they are more powerful and righteous and Soul saving than the BLOOD of Jesus.
Thank you... Jesus 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thank you so much for sharing Johnny❤️❤️❤️
I love your teaching Johnny. Watchingvfrom Australia 🇦🇺
Thank you for your ministry
Thank you brother
Good one
Right on spot.
My mind is blown by this big brain revelation. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 😮❤
THANK YOU BREAKING THIS DOWN! 🙏 ❤ I truly appreciate all the truth your speaking to us. May God continue to use you as a vessel for His Kingdom ❤
Vessel for Satan! He teaches heresy Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Wow never saw this before even though I have read the scriptures. Thank you, just subbed. God bless you!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 you bodied this!! Thank you Lord Jesus!!!
I agree that faith is the first step towards salvation and works is how you live out and maintain your faith. So the end result is always the same. If we do not have works then our faith is dead meaning that we need both.
Amen. I was stuck on this for a bit but this was explained beautifully
Thank you, Heavenly Father, for giving this message through the Holy Spirit in Johnny Chang.
Studying scripture with scripture. 🙌🏼 YES AND AMEN! This is how Bible study is done! The Holy Spirit has been guiding me this way as I’ve continued to read, and it’s amazing to see this being shown in the light.
I’ll even add to that, a brother, sister & mother defined by The Lord is this:
“Who is my mother? And who are my brethren?’ And he stretched out his hand toward his disciples, and said, ‘Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.”-Matthew 12:48-50
I encourage all brothers and sisters to study this way. Beautiful! It makes studying so fun because you’re searching and looking for the hidden treasures in His word to be given the whole meat of the passage. Absolutely love it!
Thank you for all that you do in The Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord bless you and keep you, brother. Today and for evermore! In Jesus mighty name. Hallelujah, Amen! 🙏🏼🤍
Ameeen🙏🙏🙏
Amen Brother Johnny ..... yes Jesus FINISHED ALL the work. ALONE. SALVATION IS JESUS .
🙌🙌
salvation is Jesus but to receive it we do works for Him because we have His Holy Spirit Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Wow! 🤯 thank you Johnny 🙏🏽
Hallelujah Thank u brother, Amen
This is so timely, it is mind blowing hearing this revelation bro. God bless you.
I watch these episodes when I'm gaming🎮 💪🏽💯 and having a bad day. thanks for the knowledge and wisdom and clear understanding
GOD BLESS YOU For SERVING HIM!
NO, HE IS STOPPING PEOPLE FROM SERVING THE LORD BY TEACHING HERESY AND FALSE DOCTRINE Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Bro just read john 15:1-7 and hebrews 13:20-25 and it's over... yahuah bless you 💯✝️👑
This was so cool to hear. Thank you brother
What a good word. And i love how u simplify the word so it is understandable.
he did not simplify it at all, actually did the complete opposite taking everything out of context and taught heresy, this is dangerous, we need to actually provide for our brothers and sisters in Christ with food and clothes not just saying ‘Jesus loves you’ 🤦♂️
Mathew 25:41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Your joking right
This was so good thank you keep being a blessing!!!
🔥🔥🔥 Much love G Disciple
Johnny Chang breaking down some hard Biblical BARS! For the masses to understand. I Thank GOD for you brother.
Mathew 25: 41 “Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; 43 I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
44 “Then they also will answer [d]Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ 45 Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ 46 And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Thank you for sharing now i understand more....love it
Wow you can tell when Jesus uses a brother or sister to open the simple minded like myself.!
True Faith in Jesus will always be revealed to when called upon.! Thank you and God Bless you Johnny🙏
In James it's actually and literally talking about a brother or sister being naked( or poorly clothed) as to where the nakedness in Isaiah is used metaphorically for sin being uncovered. Because if your naked that means your already uncovered right so when it's used in this way you nakedness ( sin) will be uncovered you can see how it's used metaphorically and not literally as in James. Although you can interpret James as Johnny is doing so, the actual meaning of naked in James is literal not metaphoric like in Isaiah.
Apostle Paul was talking about Grace and James mistook Paul's subject for faith - "for BY GRACE YOU ARE SAVED through faith, and not of works." Faith is not the subject - Grace is. Grace is free. Unmerited, no amount of works will bring about this grace but God's love for His creation.
Faith is never free - it demands bearing of fruit. The Lord said we must bear fruit. The Lord said we must make our light so shine before men so they will see our good works and glorify our Father.
The Lord Jesus Christ Himself puts grace and faith this way:
"As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness so The Son of Man must be lifted up (grace), so whoever believes in Him (faith) should not perish but have everlasting life."
The Lord never exempted works from belief in Him. He always said "he who hears My words and DOES THEM is like one building his house on a rock "
Neither did Apostle Paul because he plainly said "For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him.
Psalm 49:6 puts grace this way:
No one can redeem the life of his brother or give to God a ransom (Grace) for him, for the ransom for a life is costly, it ceases forever, that a man should live forever and not die.
My understanding has always been the faith that you gain and utilize must be tried and tested to show its works not for recognition but to be done to prove to self that thru you the will of God be done as it has been done for you when naked or in youth
you have a gift. Bless up
Thank you for breaking this down. God is speaking through you my friend. I’ve been having some trouble and this is bringing me understanding.
Amen thank you for this teaching 🙏
been following ur journey since the beginning. Even joined ur bible study thing online. Just glad the Lord brought another soldier into his army. God bless
thank you for sharing Gods word. love you brother...
THIS IS AMAZING!!!! Ive never heard James 2 broken down this way!
I love how you are using the Bible to interpret the Bible, and not your own interpretation. Glory to God!
When he says brother and sister he is not talking to the people of the world. He is talking to people who are saved.
Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for the least of these, you did not do for me.
Yes, our Lord Jesus wants us to do more than just believe in him.
very well explained ...much thanks brod Johhny Chang
My brother, if you come across this comment, please respond because I have some questions. Let me start with this one. In the book of revelations, Jesus constantly rebukes the church because their works are not perfect in the sight of God. Some churches tolerated Jezebel, others lost her first love meaning Jesus, others were pretending to be alive, but we’re almost dead had a reputation for being alive, I believe in the message of Grace, but to say that Jesus doesn’t expect things out of us to bear good fruit etc is misleading
