I used to be an Armenian. I used to believe that if I sinned I might not get into heaven. It made me stressed out all the time because I was trying so hard on my own to be perfect and because I couldn't do it I actually thought the Holy Spirit left me. This also made me judge others and keep track of their sins and in my mind I was condemning them instead of believing the true gospel of total atonement for sin, eternal salvation, and grace alone by faith alone in Christ alone. I thank God that He blessed me with a friend in Christ that has the gift of discernment and wisdom and he taught me the true gospel from the right perspective. Now I am not crucifying Christ over and over again in my mind. I truly believe He took it all and justified me and I am no longer who I once was and all my sins-present, past and future- are covered by His precious blood, and nothing can take me out of His hands.
@@faithhope7777 I can't do anything to destroy my salvation. If we are truly saved and we have the Holy Spirit nothing can reverse that. It is eternal. The Holy Spirit in me will not allow me to deny Christ. And that is the only way I will not get into heaven, if I blaspheme the Holy Spirit and turn away from my faith.
@@Christinme4ever I agree with some of what you say, But' people call themselves Christians all the time. 1 John 3:6 You talked of future sins. if you bring sin back into your life, John explains it clearly...! 1John 3:9 God Bless...
@@Christinme4ever What I'm saying is, you are not above being tempted of sin, but a Christian heart is no longer in it... The beloved Disciple John makes it very clear, don't take my word for it, take his...! If you give into sin, then you, me or anyone is not where we say we are in our walk with Christ... If anyone takes this lightly, then you are riding the fence. And in Revelations it again makes it clear, you are not worth spit...! Revelations 3:15&16 satan will tell us (taking one little piece of gum will not hurt you) You want to tell that to Jesus after He told you not to...? You either follow in Jesus' footsteps, or you don't... You can take the Bible Word for it, or you can listen to man's lie's... It's your Soul and your choice .! God Bless
Your videos bless me so much, thank you for your faithfulness and sharing your gift, I’m often in tears listening as I realise again and again God Grace that He undeservingly gave us in His son Jesus 🙏🏼 its mind blowing and overwhelms my soul with thankfulness 🙌🏼 ❤
God has blessed me with your videos, and I've enjoyed learning more about His Word from them over the past few days. Praying the Lord uses your ministry to bring many more to Jesus.
“From God’s vantage point, He sees all sins unfolded.” Yes! And he put the weight of all that sin, all the sin that was, is, and will ever be, onto the shoulders of His son. This was one of the most painful realizations I’ve had as a Christian and also one of the most important truths that helps impede my sinning. Jesus paid the price for every one of my sins, even those I have not yet committed. Because God knew what I would do and what I wouldn’t. So, if I do sin tomorrow, I am literally adding to the pain Jesus felt. I know he already felt it and that it’s finished. But God had all those sins added up. As Jason said, “He has a perfect revelation of human history unfolded.” So God had all my sins unfolded before Him when Jesus paid the full debt. God knew then when I would sin and how. But I don’t. So if I resist today (and tomorrow), I am actively reducing the pain that I personally caused Christ on the cross. For someone who truly loves Jesus, knowing that he bore the burden of all my sins is far from a license to sin, it is the most personal and powerful persuasion against sin that I know. I don’t want to hurt him any more than I already have. And when I do sin, knowing that it hurt him, knowing that it was not without consequence, even though I walk away apparently unharmed, only adds to my repulsion and makes me all the more eager to find that escape route from temptation the next time it presents itself.
I don't think God quantified it and equaled the pain, It was more like Jesus was perfect, He should not have died at all - remember "the penalty of sin is death" Jesus should never had died, He Instead was paying the debt of Sin in himself through his death, It is because of Sin alone that jesus suffered , but not each sin every human would ever do, Sin alone needed to be dealt with, In this way he says For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous. Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. We see that sin entered the world through adam, Now jesus is directly dealing with that and reversing the curse by being perfect in our place. At the same time I get what you are trying to say, The sin of man is what hurt jesus and that is true.
good way to look at it. helps me too when I understood that sin is equal to weak faith. to sin means I'm weak in my faith in Christ Jesus. that hurt me, but helps me to turn from sin and grow in my faith in God
Theologians have rightly distinguished between original sin and actual sins. Original sin is the evilness or sinfulness of fallen man in all his being. It is the common attribute of all who are in the humanity of Adam. This sin or depravity is total in that it is the governing fact in his nature which colors his mind, will, emotions, actions, and all his being. Just as a tiger is always a tiger, so a member of the humanity of Adam is inescapably a man whose being is not merely marked but is in essence governed by original sin, the desire for autonomy from God as a self-ordained god. Actual sins are particular acts in violation of God’s law. A new-born babe is without actual sins; it is marked by original sin. In the atonement by Jesus Christ, this fallen man dies in Christ and is made a new creation in Him. His actual sins are atoned for, and his old life and nature are sentenced to death and then made a new creation.13 Regeneration and justification accompany the atonement. Without them, actual sins would be dealt with only, but the sinning man would remain unchanged. Jesus Christ, “The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Rev. 13:8), is He in terms of whom God makes all things new (Rev. 21:5). Not only does He remove sins from creation, but he removes the fact of sinfulness or rebellion and regenerates all things in terms of Himself into the renewed image of God. This means a life of the knowledge of and obedience to God, of righteousness or justice in all our ways, of holiness or separation and dedication to Him in all our being, and it means also a life of dominion, man under God bringing every area of life and thought into captivity to Jesus Christ. This freedom of the believer is accomplished by Christ’s atonement. The sins of the redeemed man, or of the man who is by grace singled out for redemption, are imputed to Jesus Christ; they are laid to His charge, entered into His account, so that He assumes the penalty of death for us. But this is not all: through Him and in Him we have the remission (aphesis) of sins. Our sins are forgiven; restitution is made for them by Jesus Christ, and there is a dismissal of sins and a release. The remission of sins means that we stand before God as pardoned men. The atonement effects a legal change in our status before God. But a pardoned murderer or revolutionist is still a law-breaker at heart. Not so the redeemed man. At the same time, he is regenerated, made a new creation, by the Holy Spirit through Christ, so that the pardon is received by the renewed man; it gives new life to one who is newly raised from the death of sin. To remit the sins of the ungodly is to compound evil. Humanists, denying God’s law, insist that love and forgiveness can win over a criminal and change his life. The result has been the proliferation of crime and a growing decay of society. The criminal remains a criminal still, and all that the humanistic remission of sins accomplishes for him is a greater freedom to commit crime, to sin. All offenses against God’s law require death. If we do not have the death of Christ as our vicarious substitute, we have the certainty of death at the hands of Christ as King and Judge. Those who commit capital offenses against God’s law with respect to human society should face death at the hands of a godly government as well. It is Christ’s atonement which saves the sinner. The atonement does not simply make salvation possible: it makes it actual, because it secures and seals an unchanging and irrevocable salvation. What Christ does cannot be undone, and what ever work he begins in a man, He carries through to its eternal fulfillment and glory. Rushdoony, R. J. (1994).

Thank you for explaining this passage so clearly- I understood the concept and tried to explain it to others, but being a paradoxical concept, it's sometimes difficult to present it in a clear way.
Thanks brother, you are speaking in a very careful measured manner but it seems that underneath there is a lot of emotion. I feel it when you speak. Well done, with the title I was expecting it to mostly be about the nature of sin, but you mostly dealt with forgiveness from sin and salvation from sin and did that biblically and with much clarity. Thanks and God bless you.
Living a repentant life is necessary to be in right relationship with God and to remain under His mercy and grace. We may sin sometimes because were in a physical body but we arent to LIVE in sin but rather cut it off.
There's a difference between sinning and asking for forgiveness and practicing sin where because we are saved by his righteousness not our own it doesn't matter if we keep sinning in certain areas. It does if we are aware of what we are doing and continue in it. Romans 6:1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. 5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
No one can be perfect and never sin while on this earth because we are all under the curse of inherited sin since the fall of man through Adam's original sin. Anyone who thinks they are able to achieve total sanctification before they die or before Christ returns is claiming they are Christ, because only Christ is perfect and fully sanctified and able to live outside of the curse of sin and death. "Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned-" Romans 5:12
O yes as I come into agreement with you Sir. First John 3:9. Whoever has been born of God does not sin for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin because he has been born of God. First John 3;10. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. Please sir we love clarity, in Jesus name Amen blessings 😁😁😁
This is beautiful because when he said no everyone sins...I was like huh? Not those that are born of the spirit! They cannot sin because the holy spirit that dwells within won't allow them too go near sin. Yes, people may fall short as when you are a baby in Christ. Much like a baby in the flesh. But as you, we, mature in Christ, he ensures that we do not CONTINUE in the lifestyle of sin.
So if someone steals a lot of money and they confess, and someone takes them to the law, so they have to repay it , or are they free? What about the person who was cheated of this money?
KNOW YOUR A-B-C's So, you want to go to heaven I'll tell you a story of love A tale of admit, believe and call To our Savior up above Admit that you're a sinner Deep sorrow fills your heart You feel so broken God will heal you And fix what's been torn apart Believe that Jesus really lived From Bethlehem to Calvary He paid for your sins & rose from the dead So that you could be set free Call to Him in prayer right now He's waiting for your call The King of Kings and Lord of Lords Bringing salvation to us all Shirley ❤ 7/21/2021
Sin = not knowing God. Sin no more = keep eyes/heart on God. Get to know Him better. When our eyes are on Him, they're not where they shouldnt be. Did I get that right? Regardless, good lesson!
I am working on confessing my sins, I feel like I'm under attack with sins I have been confessing being punished for what I've done after I confessed it. I have been feeling this burning sensation in my chest and don't know what it is I have talked to two different christian leaders. One says it's guilt and once I let go of the guilt from my sins it will go away. The other didn't know said it was spiritual. I feel under attack from the enemy. I could use some support or suggestions. Thank you
I believe that we should realize as Christians we are under attack of the devil. He's fighting hard for our souls. I had a hard time when I became a Christian thinking I wasn't worthy to be forgiven and I held on to my guilt also. Pray to God and remember the lesson Jason just taught us about sin. We are forgiven and I truly believe when we are truly repentant God no longer remembers them.
Thank you so much for your videos! They help me and bless me so much. Praise the Lord. I did have a question. Im sure I read somewhere that Jesus has conquered not just the penalty but the power of sin. There are things I am still wrestling with that seem to have a hold on me. Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something? I wrestle so hard and still lose sometimes. So am I doing something wrong that I still wrestle with those things?
Oh dear sister, I wish someone would have responded to you sooner... Legitimate questions and concerns. Have you prayed for the desire of the sin itself to be removed? Are you truly ready for that? I don't ask in a confrontational way, but from personal experience...are you more concerned that He is angry at you than you are about laying down this particular sin? Stay faithful that when the time I perfect, He will answer your prayer, even if in the meantime you give in to temptation. Read some of the other comments here about how He knows the end from the beginning and nothing surprises Him. I think they might help. I'll be praying too that your heart be comforted in your struggle and that your faith remain high.
@@tarabrickle8745 Thank you ma'am. I am so grateful that the Lord has been answering. I've recently learned about the Bema Seat and I must admit that because of some, let's day uhm, I'll just say it, some PTSD physiologically effecting me. I'm ashamed to admit, but fear has been a lot of my motivation. Forgetting that the Lord is not an example of my father and my father is not an example of Him. So I am slowly but surely starting to grasp that with my heart. My head had the knowledge but I couldn't force myself mentally and and emotionally to trusy that His desire for me is a relationship with Him and holiness, and not to harm me or trick me or manipulate me. And so he has slowly turned that fear into trust. I have prayed many many many times that the Lord would remove my desires for selfishness and dependence on the wrong things. Although it has been a slow process, that trust in the Lord is growing and I think my motivations are changing. I think what I lack is an understanding of who I am in the Lord Jesus Christ, as a believer free of condemnation and the power of sin over my life, rather than an unbeliever standing in judgement before Him, helpless to my own sin. I'm starting to be different too, sin and Satan deceive ,and I cry as write, that I have believed the lies instead of trusting my Father in Heaven. It makes me really sad to not know how to be loved, and all the love he shows me overwhelms me because it feels unnatural. I feel like an imposter sometimes, because after Jesus gave his very life and more for me, he deserves nothing less than 100% commitment and all of my affection, and yet I have allowed things to distract me from the truth. Although the Lord has given me NO reason to doubt Him, in some areas I get scared, I have nightmares about Jesus sending me away and saying he never knew me. I can't think of anything worse. I hate this place, sin and all those things that disgrace the Lord and yet there have been times I've carried Jesus' name and behaved badly, dishonoring him. Then I get worried that because Ive stumbled one too many times that maybe Jesus hasn't saved me. I've prayed many times about this, and the Lord has answered me, thankfully, and although I am worried that Satan is tricking me into thinking I am saved so that I die without Jesus, thinking I'm going to heaven, it scares me so much, and makes me so so sad, but I choose to trust Jesus. I cry and cry because what Jesus did is the most remarkable thing I've ever heard or seen, and I've decided to just trust what he says, that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, that Jesus has begun a work and he will finish it in me, that nothing can tear me apart from the love of Jesus, not even me. And so recently I've been trying to drown myself in Scripture in hopes that the Lord Jesus will transform me and that I won't be ashamed when I see him one day. I know 100% I am not worthy of Him, and I am more comfortable with that than Him loving me so much he would endure what he did. That is what's hard. I have major trust issues, and I'm doing my best not to just trust Jesus for my salvation, but for my sanctification too and that he wants a relationship with me. Not because he needs me, but because he wants me walking with him. So I am trying my hardest to look at scripture and trust what it says, and hope that I have not been self deceived and that the quality of my character or faith is not what saved me, rather believing in the Son of God who did all the hard work, dying on a cross, fulfilling prophecy, taking the wrath of God on himself, satisfying justice with an unbelievable love I cannot fathom, and then he rose again, he conquered death and paid the price for me, And still intercedes for me and He is my Shepherd. This is what i put my hope in. He has given me the task of believing that. He is the one that saved me, I didn't save myself and so I am actively trying to act in trust and according to His word. Clinging onto the hope that Jesus is my Shepherd and that he will do what he said he would do, and rejecting the enemies lies and accusations. Sorry for how long this is I got crying and then I started rambling. Anyway, thanks so much for your response, I am pleased to let you know that Jesus has indeed been helping me see things properly and change my view on sin, which greatly motivates my desire to avoid it. And when I fall, I remind myself that although I have fallen a billion times, Jesus has raised me back up a billion times. I've said that before but it's something that gives me great comfort, that even in the darkness my King is with me, ready to help me up again. Falling usually causes me to run from God, but now i run to Him. I trust that Jesus is in control and I just need to walk, one step at a time, following the King of the Universe who loves me. And one day I may better understand how to be loved, and I trust Jesus to do that in me. Thanks so much for your message. :)
In Matthew chapter 12 verse 31-32 Jesus warns us of a sin we will never be forgiven of. It’s blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. It’s also in Mark and Luke as well. In first John chapter 2 verse 16-17 John tells us there is sin that doesn’t lead to death and sin that does lead to death. To me these verse seem to be tied together I would love to hear you talk about how you feel. I was always told growing up no matter how bad you mess up it doesn’t matter because Jesus forgives all sin. But no one has every told me that there is one sin that will never be forgiven as if this verse doesn’t exist. He clear states there a sin you can not be forgiven for. I would love to here your opinion or even other peoples opinions on this.
you wrote: He clear states there a sin you can not be forgiven for. I would love to here your opinion or even other peoples opinions on this. My opinion is that you can be forgiven for all sins.
Above . Reproach . My mom is lying and saying very bad evil lies against me and I told her she is going to hell for deliberately lying against me. What should I do she is always threatening me and she is getting worse everyday please message me. She says that noone will believe me only her
I had a similar experience with lust and it destroyed my pursuit of God for 12 or so years. I think part of the problem was, as you allude to, not really taking it seriously. I see the world uniting against God though and I don't want to be on the wrong side of that. I agreed that I was sinning and decided that I would rather die than continue on that path and risk separation from God and I stopped and have not gone back. Any temptation has been the rare event now. We will all stand before God one day and give an account for our lives. We are never alone though we fool ourselves that we are. One day all the secret things will be displayed in the open so let us live holy lives that can withstand the light of day.
I don't think people understand that salvation is forever. There is no way we in our own volition can reverse God's works of eternal grace in us. Once we are truly saved, the Holy Spirit is continually working in us to sanctify us and bring us to the fullness of glorification. Christ himself told us in His world that no powers in heaven or earth could tear us away from Him once we recieve the Holy Spirit. Why do we believe these lies that tell us that we can overthrow the power of the Holy Spirit in us by sinning? We are not that powerful! We can't reverse what God has already done in us. The only way we can "fall away" is if we did not fully repent and did not recieve the Holy Spirit in the first place! Those who are regenerate Christians are in Christ and fully secure in Him. We can't break that unity! It is an eternal covenant! Otherwise God is a liar. And to think that is blasphemy!
Jesus forgives all sin and He says, "go and sin no more!" We must give up the sin in our lives, then He can change us. We have the freedom to decide, we must make that decision to sin no more! You can't ask for forgiveness and then just keep doing the sin, we must give it up and then we can be cleansed.
All SIN is S-elf, I-sh, N-ess. Only God's grace, love, and mercy through the offering of Christ can overcome our S-elf, I-sh, N-ess. For that was the payment generated and excepted by God, through the offering of His Son Christ on a cross 2 thousand years ago now! " For God so loved the world, that He sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever will believeth upon Him, should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16.... For God commended His love toward us in this, that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Romans 5:8..... That if you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9..... For with the heart man believes resulting in righteousness and with the mouth he confesses resulting in salvation. Romans 10:10.... Confess - ( Greek word Homologeõ- meaning "Same Word "- Agreeing fully with the Same Word of God about His Son Jesus, and committing one's life and living to that truth. This is a covenant with God; not a prayer, a proclamation or even a personal testimony!
Why are we multiple times warned about enduring to the end and we will be saved, if we are forgiven of future sin. Don't we need to be on guard always to repent of present and future sin? If we don't listen to the Holy Spirit convicting us, eventually He stops talking and then we start feeling alone. The Bible is clear that liars, fornicators, adulterers, etc will not enter the kingdom of Heaven.
Since the Bible makes it clear that we must repent in order to be saved, what will happen to those who do not repent? Jesus said, “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). Before one repents, there is no concern, regret or determination at all to do anything about one's sins.

Yes God is faithful and just, But He cleanses us as we Confess our sins, then he is faithful and just to forgive what ever that sin was. It’s a sanctification process, this is why we have people who backslide or fall, and God says to get back up and try it again until you achieved the victory through Christ. God gave us a period of grace to help us in His walk, that’s why he is known as our high priest, mediating on our behalf. What your saying is Jesus ran the race but you get the prize for doing nothing but believing he won for you? I understand most people want to win the lottery so they don’t need to work anymore, but that is a lazy man’s concept. Jesus said “Pick up YOUR cross, and follow me,” this is where you begin your race, then you endure the race as did all the true believers, till you cross the finish line as Paul did; Rev 12:11 And they have conquered him (Satan)by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. It’s the same false belief as the PreRapture, people always wants the easy way out, but God has and always will take us through the fire so He can purify us as gold. True character has always been developed through trials and tribulations, show me one that’s not. God will not allow Sin to rise up a second time, true law abiding citizens will make up His Kingdom, people who ended up hating sin and we’re willing to allow God to change their hearts to conform to His law of love.
Sanctification is up to us with God's help but we still have a free choice God is holy so ye be holy if you love God you will die for h and if this is you you can be sanctified you are responsible for your own Sanctification you have a choice
Christ died so that our sins could be forgiven, and we once more had the right to enter Heaven. The Sacrament of Baptism takes away the stain of original sin and any sins committed. After Baptism, all sins committed have to be forgiven and absolved through the Sacrament of Penance, instituted by Christ when he gave his apostles the power to forgive sins in his name. This is Scriptural.
Why did Jesus direct his apostles to go and foregive men their sins. He even gave them a power to not forgive. 21 “Peace be with you,” Jesus said to them again.* “As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”* (Jesus was sent to die for our sins ... Jesus knew he would be leaving them & they were to continue his work). 22 After saying this, he breathed on them and said, (This is huge. The only other time God breathed on man is when Adam was given a soul). “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven. If you retain anyone’s sins, they are retained.” (It also means that if the confessor is not sincere, the sins would not be forgiven). Why is this passage ignored? What else could it mean? Anybody?
@@southern_star394 I responded but it has disappeared. Not sure why or how that happens. I will try again, and I'm sorry you had to hang on, waiting for my response. When you say, Jesus told them to "drink" his cup, were you referring to the apostles actually drinking his cup, or perhaps drinking what was in the cup? Totally understandable if the latter was meant. Otherwise, we know they were not told to devour the actual cup. As far as the 12 tribes ... Many Biblical scholars believe the NT draws obvious parallels between the 12 apostles and the 12 tribes-even more so w/the twelve patriarchs (sons of Jacob/Israel) who were the originators of the 12 tribes. By choosing the 12 apostles, Jesus clearly showed his desire to form his new Christian community as a "New Israel" without leaving out the "original" Israel of its special place in his Father's plan. Jesus does say that the apostles will sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel (Matt. 19:28, Luke 22:29-30). What is your understanding of your 2 examples above?
@@gabepettinicchio7454 the cup I'm referring to is the cup of suffering in Matthew 19 verse 28 , the 12 disciples were willing to drink of this cup Matthew 20 verse 22-23 , after the resurrection, Jesus gave them power to judge the 12 tribes of ISRAEL Matthew 19:28
Good thing there's no pride, no judgement, no self-righteousness apparent in the tone of this video. 🙄 Always disappointing to see proclamations of Truth and banal interpretations of the catechism delivered by naive cubs with so little experience of life and of the Church. Spend a couple of decades listening and observing, then come back and offer your advice.
I used to be an Armenian. I used to believe that if I sinned I might not get into heaven. It made me stressed out all the time because I was trying so hard on my own to be perfect and because I couldn't do it I actually thought the Holy Spirit left me. This also made me judge others and keep track of their sins and in my mind I was condemning them instead of believing the true gospel of total atonement for sin, eternal salvation, and grace alone by faith alone in Christ alone. I thank God that He blessed me with a friend in Christ that has the gift of discernment and wisdom and he taught me the true gospel from the right perspective. Now I am not crucifying Christ over and over again in my mind. I truly believe He took it all and justified me and I am no longer who I once was and all my sins-present, past and future- are covered by His precious blood, and nothing can take me out of His hands.
Except you.! You can take yourself out of Jesus hand's... So don't plan on future sin's... God Bless
@@faithhope7777 I can't do anything to destroy my salvation. If we are truly saved and we have the Holy Spirit nothing can reverse that. It is eternal. The Holy Spirit in me will not allow me to deny Christ. And that is the only way I will not get into heaven, if I blaspheme the Holy Spirit and turn away from my faith.
@@Christinme4ever I agree with some of what you say, But' people call themselves Christians all the time. 1 John 3:6 You talked of future sins. if you bring sin back into your life, John explains it clearly...! 1John 3:9 God Bless...
@@faithhope7777 so you are saying you never sin?
@@Christinme4ever What I'm saying is, you are not above being tempted of sin, but a Christian heart is no longer in it... The beloved Disciple John makes it very clear, don't take my word for it, take his...! If you give into sin, then you, me or anyone is not where we say we are in our walk with Christ... If anyone takes this lightly, then you are riding the fence. And in Revelations it again makes it clear, you are not worth spit...! Revelations 3:15&16 satan will tell us (taking one little piece of gum will not hurt you) You want to tell that to Jesus after He told you not to...? You either follow in Jesus' footsteps, or you don't... You can take the Bible Word for it, or you can listen to man's lie's... It's your Soul and your choice .! God Bless
Thank You LORD. 🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏
Spot on. Excellent teaching. Thank you Jason.
I love the way you teach god bless you and keep up the good work..
Your videos bless me so much, thank you for your faithfulness and sharing your gift, I’m often in tears listening as I realise again and again God Grace that He undeservingly gave us in His son Jesus 🙏🏼 its mind blowing and overwhelms my soul with thankfulness 🙌🏼 ❤
I love u, I cannot tell you how much this video helped praise God❤️❤️❤️✝️
Thank you and Amen! ❤🕊🙏🏻🌾
Truly a Blessed Word.
Thank you for sharing.
Praise be to THE MOST HIGH GOD our FATHER through JESUS THE LORD and SAVIOR.
God has blessed me with your videos, and I've enjoyed learning more about His Word from them over the past few days. Praying the Lord uses your ministry to bring many more to Jesus.
“From God’s vantage point, He sees all sins unfolded.” Yes! And he put the weight of all that sin, all the sin that was, is, and will ever be, onto the shoulders of His son. This was one of the most painful realizations I’ve had as a Christian and also one of the most important truths that helps impede my sinning. Jesus paid the price for every one of my sins, even those I have not yet committed. Because God knew what I would do and what I wouldn’t. So, if I do sin tomorrow, I am literally adding to the pain Jesus felt. I know he already felt it and that it’s finished. But God had all those sins added up. As Jason said, “He has a perfect revelation of human history unfolded.” So God had all my sins unfolded before Him when Jesus paid the full debt. God knew then when I would sin and how. But I don’t. So if I resist today (and tomorrow), I am actively reducing the pain that I personally caused Christ on the cross. For someone who truly loves Jesus, knowing that he bore the burden of all my sins is far from a license to sin, it is the most personal and powerful persuasion against sin that I know. I don’t want to hurt him any more than I already have.
And when I do sin, knowing that it hurt him, knowing that it was not without consequence, even though I walk away apparently unharmed, only adds to my repulsion and makes me all the more eager to find that escape route from temptation the next time it presents itself.
I don't think God quantified it and equaled the pain, It was more like Jesus was perfect, He should not have died at all - remember "the penalty of sin is death" Jesus should never had died, He Instead was paying the debt of Sin in himself through his death, It is because of Sin alone that jesus suffered , but not each sin every human would ever do, Sin alone needed to be dealt with, In this way he says For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man's obedience many will be made righteous. Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound.
We see that sin entered the world through adam, Now jesus is directly dealing with that and reversing the curse by being perfect in our place. At the same time I get what you are trying to say, The sin of man is what hurt jesus and that is true.
good way to look at it. helps me too when I understood that sin is equal to weak faith. to sin means I'm weak in my faith in Christ Jesus. that hurt me, but helps me to turn from sin and grow in my faith in God
Theologians have rightly distinguished between original sin and actual sins. Original sin is the evilness or sinfulness of fallen man in all his being. It is the common attribute of all who are in the humanity of Adam. This sin or depravity is total in that it is the governing fact in his nature which colors his mind, will, emotions, actions, and all his being. Just as a tiger is always a tiger, so a member of the humanity of Adam is inescapably a man whose being is not merely marked but is in essence governed by original sin, the desire for autonomy from God as a self-ordained god. Actual sins are particular acts in violation of God’s law. A new-born babe is without actual sins; it is marked by original sin.
In the atonement by Jesus Christ, this fallen man dies in Christ and is made a new creation in Him. His actual sins are atoned for, and his old life and nature are sentenced to death and then made a new creation.13 Regeneration and justification accompany the atonement. Without them, actual sins would be dealt with only, but the sinning man would remain unchanged.
Jesus Christ, “The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world” (Rev. 13:8), is He in terms of whom God makes all things new (Rev. 21:5). Not only does He remove sins from creation, but he removes the fact of sinfulness or rebellion and regenerates all things in terms of Himself into the renewed image of God. This means a life of the knowledge of and obedience to God, of righteousness or justice in all our ways, of holiness or separation and dedication to Him in all our being, and it means also a life of dominion, man under God bringing every area of life and thought into captivity to Jesus Christ.
This freedom of the believer is accomplished by Christ’s atonement. The sins of the redeemed man, or of the man who is by grace singled out for redemption, are imputed to Jesus Christ; they are laid to His charge, entered into His account, so that He assumes the penalty of death for us. But this is not all: through Him and in Him we have the remission (aphesis) of sins. Our sins are forgiven; restitution is made for them by Jesus Christ, and there is a dismissal of sins and a release. The remission of sins means that we stand before God as pardoned men. The atonement effects a legal change in our status before God.
But a pardoned murderer or revolutionist is still a law-breaker at heart. Not so the redeemed man. At the same time, he is regenerated, made a new creation, by the Holy Spirit through Christ, so that the pardon is received by the renewed man; it gives new life to one who is newly raised from the death of sin.
To remit the sins of the ungodly is to compound evil. Humanists, denying God’s law, insist that love and forgiveness can win over a criminal and change his life. The result has been the proliferation of crime and a growing decay of society. The criminal remains a criminal still, and all that the humanistic remission of sins accomplishes for him is a greater freedom to commit crime, to sin.
All offenses against God’s law require death. If we do not have the death of Christ as our vicarious substitute, we have the certainty of death at the hands of Christ as King and Judge. Those who commit capital offenses against God’s law with respect to human society should face death at the hands of a godly government as well.
It is Christ’s atonement which saves the sinner. The atonement does not simply make salvation possible: it makes it actual, because it secures and seals an unchanging and irrevocable salvation. What Christ does cannot be undone, and what ever work he begins in a man, He carries through to its eternal fulfillment and glory.

I pray the elders listen and consider your words son!
That was nice preaching thank you. Amen and Amen 🙏
Thank you for explaining this passage so clearly- I understood the concept and tried to explain it to others, but being a paradoxical concept, it's sometimes difficult to present it in a clear way.
Thanks brother, you are speaking in a very careful measured manner but it seems that underneath there is a lot of emotion. I feel it when you speak. Well done, with the title I was expecting it to mostly be about the nature of sin, but you mostly dealt with forgiveness from sin and salvation from sin and did that biblically and with much clarity. Thanks and God bless you.
Amen...rest in His Work...the one and only true Sabbath ❤
Living a repentant life is necessary to be in right relationship with God and to remain under His mercy and grace. We may sin sometimes because were in a physical body but we arent to LIVE in sin but rather cut it off.
Thank you. You make it very clear.
10:16 JOY
There's a difference between sinning and asking for forgiveness and practicing sin where because we are saved by his righteousness not our own it doesn't matter if we keep sinning in certain areas. It does if we are aware of what we are doing and continue in it.
Romans 6:1 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase?
2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?
3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?
4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his.
So much information, lots to think about and pray on, thank you for the illustrations God bless you brother🙏❤️
I liked the lil sinless perfection type voice that was pretty good . Lol
GOD bless you brother .
GOD BLESS YOU SIR THANKS FOR THAT/////
Needed this thank you!
No one can be perfect and never sin while on this earth because we are all under the curse of inherited sin since the fall of man through Adam's original sin. Anyone who thinks they are able to achieve total sanctification before they die or before Christ returns is claiming they are Christ, because only Christ is perfect and fully sanctified and able to live outside of the curse of sin and death. "Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned-" Romans 5:12
I like your teaching
Thank you brother we’ll explain
There are two types of forgiveness. The first is positional unto salvation. The second is familiar unto fellowship. Any questions???
Not sure I understand the "fellowship forgiveness" you are talking about. There are definitely two or three types of righteousness though.
O yes as I come into agreement with you Sir. First John 3:9. Whoever has been born of God does not sin for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin because he has been born of God. First John 3;10. In this the children of God and the children of the devil are manifest: Whoever does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is he who does not love his brother. Please sir we love clarity, in Jesus name Amen blessings 😁😁😁
This is beautiful because when he said no everyone sins...I was like huh? Not those that are born of the spirit! They cannot sin because the holy spirit that dwells within won't allow them too go near sin. Yes, people may fall short as when you are a baby in Christ. Much like a baby in the flesh. But as you, we, mature in Christ, he ensures that we do not CONTINUE in the lifestyle of sin.
@@healthbar8439He is so good 🙌
So if someone steals a lot of money and they confess, and someone takes them to the law, so they have to repay it , or are they free? What about the person who was cheated of this money?
KNOW YOUR A-B-C's
So, you want to go to heaven
I'll tell you a story of love
A tale of admit, believe and call
To our Savior up above
Admit that you're a sinner
Deep sorrow fills your heart
You feel so broken God will heal you
And fix what's been torn apart
Believe that Jesus really lived
From Bethlehem to Calvary
He paid for your sins & rose from the dead
So that you could be set free
Call to Him in prayer right now
He's waiting for your call
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords
Bringing salvation to us all

When they say confess your sin, …..
Do we confess them to God or to our brothers and sisters in Christ?
Amen 🙏❤️🥰✝️
Thanks
Sin = not knowing God.
Sin no more = keep eyes/heart on God. Get to know Him better.
When our eyes are on Him, they're not where they shouldnt be.
Did I get that right?
Regardless, good lesson!
I am working on confessing my sins, I feel like I'm under attack with sins I have been confessing being punished for what I've done after I confessed it. I have been feeling this burning sensation in my chest and don't know what it is I have talked to two different christian leaders. One says it's guilt and once I let go of the guilt from my sins it will go away. The other didn't know said it was spiritual. I feel under attack from the enemy. I could use some support or suggestions. Thank you
I believe that we should realize as Christians we are under attack of the devil. He's fighting hard for our souls. I had a hard time when I became a Christian thinking I wasn't worthy to be forgiven and I held on to my guilt also. Pray to God and remember the lesson Jason just taught us about sin. We are forgiven and I truly believe when we are truly repentant God no longer remembers them.
Thank you so much for your videos! They help me and bless me so much. Praise the Lord. I did have a question. Im sure I read somewhere that Jesus has conquered not just the penalty but the power of sin. There are things I am still wrestling with that seem to have a hold on me. Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something? I wrestle so hard and still lose sometimes. So am I doing something wrong that I still wrestle with those things?
Oh dear sister, I wish someone would have responded to you sooner...
Legitimate questions and concerns. Have you prayed for the desire of the sin itself to be removed? Are you truly ready for that? I don't ask in a confrontational way, but from personal experience...are you more concerned that He is angry at you than you are about laying down this particular sin?
Stay faithful that when the time I perfect, He will answer your prayer, even if in the meantime you give in to temptation. Read some of the other comments here about how He knows the end from the beginning and nothing surprises Him. I think they might help.
I'll be praying too that your heart be comforted in your struggle and that your faith remain high.
@@tarabrickle8745 Thank you ma'am. I am so grateful that the Lord has been answering. I've recently learned about the Bema Seat and I must admit that because of some, let's day uhm, I'll just say it, some PTSD physiologically effecting me. I'm ashamed to admit, but fear has been a lot of my motivation. Forgetting that the Lord is not an example of my father and my father is not an example of Him. So I am slowly but surely starting to grasp that with my heart. My head had the knowledge but I couldn't force myself mentally and and emotionally to trusy that His desire for me is a relationship with Him and holiness, and not to harm me or trick me or manipulate me. And so he has slowly turned that fear into trust. I have prayed many many many times that the Lord would remove my desires for selfishness and dependence on the wrong things. Although it has been a slow process, that trust in the Lord is growing and I think my motivations are changing. I think what I lack is an understanding of who I am in the Lord Jesus Christ, as a believer free of condemnation and the power of sin over my life, rather than an unbeliever standing in judgement before Him, helpless to my own sin. I'm starting to be different too, sin and Satan deceive ,and I cry as write, that I have believed the lies instead of trusting my Father in Heaven. It makes me really sad to not know how to be loved, and all the love he shows me overwhelms me because it feels unnatural. I feel like an imposter sometimes, because after Jesus gave his very life and more for me, he deserves nothing less than 100% commitment and all of my affection, and yet I have allowed things to distract me from the truth. Although the Lord has given me NO reason to doubt Him, in some areas I get scared, I have nightmares about Jesus sending me away and saying he never knew me. I can't think of anything worse. I hate this place, sin and all those things that disgrace the Lord and yet there have been times I've carried Jesus' name and behaved badly, dishonoring him. Then I get worried that because Ive stumbled one too many times that maybe Jesus hasn't saved me. I've prayed many times about this, and the Lord has answered me, thankfully, and although I am worried that Satan is tricking me into thinking I am saved so that I die without Jesus, thinking I'm going to heaven, it scares me so much, and makes me so so sad, but I choose to trust Jesus. I cry and cry because what Jesus did is the most remarkable thing I've ever heard or seen, and I've decided to just trust what he says, that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, that Jesus has begun a work and he will finish it in me, that nothing can tear me apart from the love of Jesus, not even me. And so recently I've been trying to drown myself in Scripture in hopes that the Lord Jesus will transform me and that I won't be ashamed when I see him one day. I know 100% I am not worthy of Him, and I am more comfortable with that than Him loving me so much he would endure what he did. That is what's hard. I have major trust issues, and I'm doing my best not to just trust Jesus for my salvation, but for my sanctification too and that he wants a relationship with me. Not because he needs me, but because he wants me walking with him. So I am trying my hardest to look at scripture and trust what it says, and hope that I have not been self deceived and that the quality of my character or faith is not what saved me, rather believing in the Son of God who did all the hard work, dying on a cross, fulfilling prophecy, taking the wrath of God on himself, satisfying justice with an unbelievable love I cannot fathom, and then he rose again, he conquered death and paid the price for me, And still intercedes for me and He is my Shepherd. This is what i put my hope in. He has given me the task of believing that. He is the one that saved me, I didn't save myself and so I am actively trying to act in trust and according to His word. Clinging onto the hope that Jesus is my Shepherd and that he will do what he said he would do, and rejecting the enemies lies and accusations. Sorry for how long this is I got crying and then I started rambling. Anyway, thanks so much for your response, I am pleased to let you know that Jesus has indeed been helping me see things properly and change my view on sin, which greatly motivates my desire to avoid it. And when I fall, I remind myself that although I have fallen a billion times, Jesus has raised me back up a billion times. I've said that before but it's something that gives me great comfort, that even in the darkness my King is with me, ready to help me up again. Falling usually causes me to run from God, but now i run to Him. I trust that Jesus is in control and I just need to walk, one step at a time, following the King of the Universe who loves me. And one day I may better understand how to be loved, and I trust Jesus to do that in me. Thanks so much for your message. :)
In Matthew chapter 12 verse 31-32 Jesus warns us of a sin we will never be forgiven of. It’s blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. It’s also in Mark and Luke as well. In first John chapter 2 verse 16-17 John tells us there is sin that doesn’t lead to death and sin that does lead to death. To me these verse seem to be tied together I would love to hear you talk about how you feel. I was always told growing up no matter how bad you mess up it doesn’t matter because Jesus forgives all sin. But no one has every told me that there is one sin that will never be forgiven as if this verse doesn’t exist. He clear states there a sin you can not be forgiven for. I would love to here your opinion or even other peoples opinions on this.
I’ve done a long video on this 👍🏼
@@AboveReproachMinistry I’ll definitely find it and check it out… thank you

My opinion is that you can be forgiven for all sins.
Above . Reproach . My mom is lying and saying very bad evil lies against me and I told her she is going to hell for deliberately lying against me. What should I do she is always threatening me and she is getting worse everyday please message me. She says that noone will believe me only her
What's the point in repenting if I just keep going back to it? I feel like I have no fight left. Not that there was much fight anyway.
I had a similar experience with lust and it destroyed my pursuit of God for 12 or so years. I think part of the problem was, as you allude to, not really taking it seriously.
I see the world uniting against God though and I don't want to be on the wrong side of that. I agreed that I was sinning and decided that I would rather die than continue on that path and risk separation from God and I stopped and have not gone back. Any temptation has been the rare event now.
We will all stand before God one day and give an account for our lives. We are never alone though we fool ourselves that we are. One day all the secret things will be displayed in the open so let us live holy lives that can withstand the light of day.
I watched some of this and, I may have judged you in a poor way and not in love or respect but anger please forgive me. I repent.
I don't think people understand that salvation is forever. There is no way we in our own volition can reverse God's works of eternal grace in us. Once we are truly saved, the Holy Spirit is continually working in us to sanctify us and bring us to the fullness of glorification. Christ himself told us in His world that no powers in heaven or earth could tear us away from Him once we recieve the Holy Spirit. Why do we believe these lies that tell us that we can overthrow the power of the Holy Spirit in us by sinning? We are not that powerful! We can't reverse what God has already done in us. The only way we can "fall away" is if we did not fully repent and did not recieve the Holy Spirit in the first place! Those who are regenerate Christians are in Christ and fully secure in Him. We can't break that unity! It is an eternal covenant! Otherwise God is a liar. And to think that is blasphemy!
You would not know that but by the Holy Spirit
Does Paul call it sin or slavery ? I think slavery helps me understand it much better.
Amen
Faith in grace . God's grace is his Son Jesus who died for our sin Amen 🙌🙏🙌🙏
I'm still trying brother to find a mistake in your interpretation of scripture. As of yet I've always agreed with it.
Jesus forgives all sin and He says, "go and sin no more!" We must give up the sin in our lives, then He can change us. We have the freedom to decide, we must make that decision to sin no more! You can't ask for forgiveness and then just keep doing the sin, we must give it up and then we can be cleansed.
All SIN is S-elf, I-sh, N-ess. Only God's grace, love, and mercy through the offering of Christ can overcome our S-elf, I-sh, N-ess. For that was the payment generated and excepted by God, through the offering of His Son Christ on a cross 2 thousand years ago now! " For God so loved the world, that He sent His only begotten Son, that whosoever will believeth upon Him, should not perish but have everlasting life." John 3:16.... For God commended His love toward us in this, that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us. Romans 5:8..... That if you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Romans 10:9..... For with the heart man believes resulting in righteousness and with the mouth he confesses resulting in salvation. Romans 10:10.... Confess - ( Greek word Homologeõ- meaning "Same Word "- Agreeing fully with the Same Word of God about His Son Jesus, and committing one's life and living to that truth. This is a covenant with God; not a prayer, a proclamation or even a personal testimony!
Please can I ask which bible version is this one... Amen
ESV apparently. See small print at top of video
Repent means to turn from your sin
Why are we multiple times warned about enduring to the end and we will be saved, if we are forgiven of future sin. Don't we need to be on guard always to repent of present and future sin?
If we don't listen to the Holy Spirit convicting us, eventually He stops talking and then we start feeling alone. The Bible is clear that liars, fornicators, adulterers, etc will not enter the kingdom of Heaven.
Since the Bible makes it clear that we must repent in order to be saved, what will happen to those who do not repent? Jesus said, “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish” (Luke 13:3). Before one repents, there is no concern, regret or determination at all to do anything about one's sins.

Sounds biblical.
Some people don't like ? So what let the passages speak.
Yes God is faithful and just, But He cleanses us as we Confess our sins, then he is faithful and just to forgive what ever that sin was. It’s a sanctification process, this is why we have people who backslide or fall, and God says to get back up and try it again until you achieved the victory through Christ. God gave us a period of grace to help us in His walk, that’s why he is known as our high priest, mediating on our behalf. What your saying is Jesus ran the race but you get the prize for doing nothing but believing he won for you? I understand most people want to win the lottery so they don’t need to work anymore, but that is a lazy man’s concept. Jesus said “Pick up YOUR cross, and follow me,” this is where you begin your race, then you endure the race as did all the true believers, till you cross the finish line as Paul did; Rev 12:11 And they have conquered him (Satan)by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. It’s the same false belief as the PreRapture, people always wants the easy way out, but God has and always will take us through the fire so He can purify us as gold. True character has always been developed through trials and tribulations, show me one that’s not. God will not allow Sin to rise up a second time, true law abiding citizens will make up His Kingdom, people who ended up hating sin and we’re willing to allow God to change their hearts to conform to His law of love.
Sanctification is up to us with God's help but we still have a free choice God is holy so ye be holy if you love God you will die for h and if this is you you can be sanctified you are responsible for your own Sanctification you have a choice
Lol, how old are you? Praise God 👏.

A wicked and adulterous generation shall receive no sign… hmm almost like that itself would be a sign
The like was at 666… I fixed that 😹
Christ died so that our sins could be forgiven, and we once more had the right to enter Heaven. The Sacrament of Baptism takes away the stain of original sin and any sins committed. After Baptism, all sins committed have to be forgiven and absolved through the Sacrament of Penance, instituted by Christ when he gave his apostles the power to forgive sins in his name. This is Scriptural.
Why did Jesus direct his apostles to go and foregive men their sins. He even gave them a power to not forgive.
21 “Peace be with you,” Jesus said to them again.*
“As the Father has sent me,
so I send you.”* (Jesus was sent to die for our sins ... Jesus knew he would be leaving them & they were to continue his work).
22 After saying this, he breathed on them and said, (This is huge. The only other time God breathed on man is when Adam was given a soul).
“Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 If you forgive anyone’s sins,
they are forgiven.
If you retain anyone’s sins,
they are retained.”
(It also means that if the confessor is not sincere, the sins would not be forgiven).
Why is this passage ignored? What else could it mean?
Anybody?
two things comes to mind , Jesus told them that they will drink His cup and Jesus told them that they will be judging the twevles tribes of Israel
Is what I said help you?
@@southern_star394 I responded but it has disappeared. Not sure why or how that happens. I will try again, and I'm sorry you had to hang on, waiting for my response.
When you say, Jesus told them to "drink" his cup, were you referring to the apostles actually drinking his cup, or perhaps drinking what was in the cup? Totally understandable if the latter was meant. Otherwise, we know they were not told to devour the actual cup.
As far as the 12 tribes ... Many Biblical scholars believe the NT draws obvious parallels between the 12 apostles and the 12 tribes-even more so w/the twelve patriarchs (sons of Jacob/Israel) who were the originators of the 12 tribes.
By choosing the 12 apostles, Jesus clearly showed his desire to form his new Christian community as a "New Israel" without leaving out the "original" Israel of its special place in his Father's plan.
Jesus does say that the apostles will sit on 12 thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel (Matt. 19:28, Luke 22:29-30).
What is your understanding of your 2 examples above?
@@gabepettinicchio7454 the cup I'm referring to is the cup of suffering in Matthew 19 verse 28 , the 12 disciples were willing to drink of this cup Matthew 20 verse 22-23 , after the resurrection, Jesus gave them power to judge the 12 tribes of ISRAEL Matthew 19:28
@@southern_star394 You consider both metaphors, thus their being told to forgive the sins of men, is also? How so, do make the comparisons.
AAAMEN !!!!!
Good thing there's no pride, no judgement, no self-righteousness apparent in the tone of this video. 🙄
Always disappointing to see proclamations of Truth and banal interpretations of the catechism delivered by naive cubs with so little experience of life and of the Church. Spend a couple of decades listening and observing, then come back and offer your advice.
Walk like Christ
Amen
