      HOW TO BE SAVED (How to KNOW you are saved and not just hope you are
      THE BAD NEWS
      All men have sinned and are in need of a Savior (Rom 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God" ; Rev 21:8 "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
      No man can come to God by his own good works and righteousness. (Isaiah 64:6 "But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags;" THE GOOD NEWS
      1 Timothy 1:15 tells us "This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners."
      How does Jesus save a sinner?
      From the beginning of the bible to the end, God has only forgiven sins through a BLOOD SACRIFICE, because he is a Holy God he can't forgive sins any other way, Heb 9:22 tells us, "...without shedding of blood is no remission." when Adam sinned, God had to kill a lamb in Adam's place as a substitue, In the Law of Moses, a Blood Sacrifice was demanded for the forgiviness of sins.
      Jesus came to die for the sins of the whole world, he came to be OUR Blood Sacrifice, OUR substittue, he came to bear OUR sins on the cross, in OUR place. John 1:29 "...Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."
      What must you do to be saved?
      YOU MUST REPENT; You must change from unbelief to belief.
      admit you are guilty, that you cannot do anything to save or help save yourself, and that you need Jesus Christ as your savior.
      Titus 3:5 "Not by works of righteousness which we have done. but according to his mercy he saved us,"
      Romans 3:28 "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law."
      Romans 4:5 "But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness."
      YOU MUST TRUST; placing your complete faith in what Jesus Christ already did to save you;
      John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:."
      Salvation comes by believing in WHAT Jesus did for you, 1 Cor. 15:1-4 tells us "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
      2 By which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
      3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, HOW that Christ died for OUR SINS according to the scriptures;
      4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:"
      All you have to do to be saved, and on your way to heaven is place your TRUST in the shed Blood of Jesus Christ and nothing else, as sufficient for your salvation, (Rom 3:25 "Whom God hath set forth to be a PROPITIATION through FAITH IN HIS BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;")
      (Propitiation means the act of appeasing wrath, Jesus took your place on the cross.)
      Will you accept Jesus Christ as your savior by simple faith, simply trusting in his shed Blood for sufficient to save your soul from hell?
      The last sentence is all you must do to be saved, and that is FAITH, not works, TRUSTING in what someone else did for you is the only thing that is not a work.
      Please watch Robert Breaker's video titled "HOW TO GET SAVED"
      If you have received Jesus Christ, by faith in his Blood, you now have eternal life and on your way to heaven!
      I John 5:11 "And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son."
      John 10:27-28 "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."

    OMG, you're a genius and the first reviewer ever to tell me this. I've hated these as they constantly disconnected or went out of sync. Turned out I was pushing them into my ear channel. When I pulled them back to the outer lip of my ear they connected, synced and play amazingly!! You fixed a problem for me no one else ever mentioned in any review I've seen. Subscribed and liked!! Thank you!!

      Hi, I just bot them about 4 days back, having a real struggle with them. Unless I push them into my ear, the sound doesnt feel rich (it feels hollow, lacking punch). And if I place them the way he/you are mentioning, it feels like theyre just gonna fall off anytime. I thot these buds would seal the ear canal and deliver crisp, crystal quality (which it does, when used the Wrong way!!!). I tried changing the w/tips too, but doesnt seem to help. Feel like I totally made the wrong purchase and should have gone for something with a more in-ear conventional design :(

    I bought them almost directly after I found out about them. Up to now I only used some nice chi-fi earbuds and IEMs, and they're all great, but these Live's are just best of all worlds. Amazing sound, while at the same time not losing connection to the outside world. I can easily have IRL conversations while wearing them, no problem. The noise cancellation is bizarre, when I'm in the train it's like the train's engine and airco are suddenly turned off and I get this eerie silence, while I can still hear people talk easily. I love it! Although I would've like an option for full spectrum cancellation too.
    Anyway, the main reason I found them was because I was looking for good earbuds that also had really good microphone quality for calling or, online meetings. This may not be important to everyone, but it's nice to know that in that aspect these earbuds are amazing too. Microphone quality is top. There just doesn't seem to be a downside to these things. Very happy with them and I probably won't be using any of my other buds much anymore, if at all.

    I know this video is uploaded 3 years ago,but i got the buds live last year as a free gift when i bought the S23 ultra, and i just put them in my drawer after trying them once. I ride bike wherever i go,to work,to shop,around the world? I started to use earbuds that has ambient mode because i keep missing calls and at the same time i want to hear my surrounding too. Its dangerous to use ANC while on the road especially when you are riding bike or walking.
    So i bought the Realme Buds 2 Neo when it first came out and it works for me. Then i saw the Sony XM4 in sale,from RM 1.2k drop down to RM650 and i quickly bought it before it raised up again as i wanted those for so long. I have the WH 1000 XM4 already so i got both headphones and the buds. The sound is excellent and the ambient mode is excellent too,no doubt. The problem is it is big so it sticks out your ears and plus it is using foam tips so when you wear a helmet it is in the way. After some time using thinking then i remembered i got the buds live. I tried and boy this is the thing that i dont know i needed for a long time. I can take calls,listen to podcast when im in long ride,listen to my surrounding without ambient mode which uses more battery,wear and take off my helmet without buds falling off,good comfort,still talk to people like normal. So good. Im loving this damn thing. For riders,i recommend these buds live it is the best for you. Try it and you wont be going for a ride without it.

    Thank you for this video! I just got these because my other wireless ear buds were skull candy ones and they HURT my ears and the silicone bit that is supposed to keep the buds in my ears would slip off the buds constantly even when I wasn't talking or moving.
    I have small ears so in ear buds typically hurt my ears, so I was excited to try these and at first I was frustrated because after a little bit these buds hurt me ears and so I found your video looking for a solution.
    Thank you so much for the review, it made me realise I was treating these like IN ear buds instead of where they should be, I will say it feels weird, like the buds are going to fall off my ears and yet I can shake my head and exaggerate jaw movements and they sit perfectly in my ear, its just gonna take a bit of time to get used to this feeling and not worry that they are going to fall out- because they have been designed not to fall out and to sit barely in the ear.

    I read reviews that they don't hold in sound. I didn't experience that problem. I tested a pair of Galaxy Buds Live few weeks ago and passed on buying them because the volume was extremely low compared to some jlabs I was using. Yesterday I noticed that the problem was with my phone not the earbuds. I connected a Bluetooth speaker to a different phone and noticed it was much louder than on my phone. So I had to download a volume booster app and it solved the low volume issue. I went and bought the Lives this morning and am thoroughly satisfied with everything about them. Only thing I don't like is how you can't mix the long touch controls. Using volume will automatically set volume to the other. I was trying to mix two different settings but they won't let you. But I have a workaround. The widget lets me turn noise cancellation on and I can use voice control for my assistant. I wanted to use long touch for assistant and volume down. So now I can keep volume on the buds use widget for noise cancellation and say ok Google for assistant. Not quite perfect but no major issue.
    They are extremely comfortable. The jlabs start digging in you after awhile. The round contours on these won't allow them to dig into your cartilage like most other buds. On the back side of the jlabs I would have to lift them up so they're not resting directly on the ear after so long of wearing them. Not major pain but noticeable and something I could do without. And the buds start losing grip once you get sweaty and a little wax starts creeping down. Makes them easier to slip out. These beans DO NOT MOVE no matter how sweaty you get. They don't rely on anything sticking in your ear canal for support. They naturally fit and comfortably rest in the contours of anyone's ear.
    As for the sound it is awesome. The jlabs would get inconsistent sound with songs with lots of sounds or heavy bass. These things sound amazing no matter what I throw at it. And the sound is much more crisp and clean than the jlabs. I wore them walking down the street and was not bothered by any sound leaking in. I was worried about this after reading several reviews so I guess my ears are the perfect fit for these things. Which is great because I've always had issues with keeping buds in my ears. These new in ear buds are much butter staying in place but as I said before getting sweaty can make them easier to slip out. But these beans otoh do not budge no matter how much you shake or how sweaty you get.
    The jlabs also had terrible touch response. The touch response on these is perfect for all purposes of intent.

    I love the galaxy buds live because they don’t hurt my ears, since you aren’t shoving buds INTO your ear. These stay just out your ear canal where it won’t cause discomfort due to air pressure, or hurting ears due to direct sound inside . LOVE THEM!

    Even after months, I still find its design very interesting but kudos to them for not copying Airpods design to achieve the same open style experience. Really want to try it out but the display in their showrooms mostly tied to security cable, ugh. But, tbh I think my Buds+ is still the better all-rounder, for cheaper price too.
    One thing I don't understand is why they cannot put the volume control using accelerometer option like Buds+, I really love it, truly game changer for me. Good video 👍🏼

(PS: I never have nor ever try any earbuds with ANC before). Thanks btw!

    Kenneth, YOU NAILED IT on this video. I've used the Buds live for a few months and I'm extremely happy with them. They give what you say. The greatest bass for an open ear design but not only that. It's what I call a strong, sweet "wet" bass. I have many other headphones and earbuds wired and wireless and the "swettness" of this bass is incomparable. Bc I liked them so much I bought the galaxy buds pro which are great also in everything but have a super deal breaker which is their design. They don't stay in my ears, I have to be fixing them every couple of minutes or every time I talk or move my mouth or they will fall. I'm waiting for a good succesor to them. The Buds 2 don't have the same quality. Thanks Kenneth.

    Gave these a go. I can definietly appreciate how good they sound. But for my ear anatomy it just doesn't work. If I wear those as intended, the sound is sort of cut-off, because the nozzle(?) is partially covered by my ear. I have to shove them in to get them to sound right. If I do so the comfort goes out of the window. My 2 cents - if you can get a free return, go for it. If not, I wouldn't risk it.

And if I place them the way you are mentioning, it feels like theyre just gonna fall off anytime. I thot these buds would seal the ear canal and deliver crisp, crystal quality (which it does, when used the Wrong way!!!). I tried changing the w/tips too, but doesnt seem to help. Feel like I totally made the wrong purchase and should have gone for something with a more in-ear conventional design :(

    Also I'm having problems when listening to music or talking with someone when my phone is in a back pocket (left earbud wants to disconnect). Also Samsung states that listening range is almost 20 meters. It's even hard to get 5 meters at home also if I would cover my ear with a hand, earbud immediately disconnects.
