You guys, he is simply saying that if you truly truly believe with your entire heart in Jesus, then your life and actions will show your love for Jesus. If in your heart you believe in what Jesus has done for you, you will WANT to follow what the Bible says and will want to please the Lord by your actions. 🙌
@@lukeshirtliff7861 I definitely know what you mean. Believe, and the faith of God will be given to you to continue believing. Continuously be in God’s word, and he will never let you down. This is something that is important for all of us too.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” You didn’t die physically when you were born again. Your flesh didn’t cease to tempt you. How can you prove you were saved? How much sin would it take for your life to “mirror” an unsaved life? Is there some type of meter that fills up the more sin we have? Does God just turn a blind eye to a few little sins here and there? Is it just the *big* sins we have to worry about? Does he not chasten and scourge us for our sins as Hebrews 12:6 says? Brother or Sister, does 1st John not outright tell us that we all have sin? It tells us we’re sinning if we say otherwise. Likewise, it tells us that we have an advocate with the father through our Lord Jesus Christ. If it were not possible for a Christian to sin or backslide, that book wouldn’t exist. We should live for Christ just as 2nd Corinthians 5:15 and 1st John 2:6 say; but let’s also not pretend that John didn’t speak of a sin unto death for a believer who has continued sinning (1st John 5:16). He didn’t say he would lose his salvation or that he never had it.
If the requirement for heaven is anything but faith in the blood of Jesus, I'm screwed. I have nothing to offer, I'm the new chief among sinners. God said He commended His love unto me in that while I was yet a sinner Jesus died for me. The good that I would do, I do not and the evil that I would not do, those things I do. Praise the Lord, Jesus WILL deliver me from this body of death. I don't want to sin, I love Him, but I'm a sinner and it looks like I will be until I see Him and receive my glorified body. He said, that some would say to Him didn't we DO these great works in your name? That won't be me. I'll plead the blood of my Savior Jesus, God become flesh to sacrifice Himself in my place. Jesus took my punishment, He has removed my sin from me as far as the east is from the west and that wasn't enough for Him, then He clothed me in His righteousness. He said the work of God was to believe on the one He sent, Jesus. I understand what you're saying but How many works are enough? You've done many wonderful things for the Lord, I'll never catch you. Are there others who are as far ahead of you as you are ahead of me? I suspect so. Who's done enough? Only Jesus has done enough, and as He said, He clothes me in His righteousness because I've put my faith in Him. I trust Him, not me, I'm hot garbage.
@@Augustuty me too man, how am i supposed to look at my works as evidence of true faith and turn around and say faith alone, this is perseverance of the saints, but he said its not, what am i not understanding??
I may unfortunately even be more of a chief in sinners than you brother, but I am right there with what you professed. I am going to do everything I can do for Jesus because I love him, I will try to learn everything he wants me know and I will try my best. But I will not rely on myself for salvation. I will rely on what Jesus Christ’s has already done with hisprecious blood and the promise he made to us who believe him.
You are humbled it's good thing to acknowledge we are no good and nothing to offer. Jesus said those who humble themselves will be exalted those who seek to exalt themselves will be humbled. God bless you 🙏 ❤️ 🙌
You are exchanging your lost state for his redemptive work on the cross at Calvary. What a great God we have! Once this transaction is complete it can never be undone.
I love my Lord. I talk to Him all day. In every circumstance I go to Him. I cannot tolerate the things of this world. I have no interest in materialistic things. This world is not my home, I'm just passing through!!! He is the first thing on my mind in the morning and the last thing on my heart and mind before I go to sleep. I often hear Him speak to me either by His Word
Amen sister, blessings from Canada. I have been a believer for 40 yrs...and when in the states I learned about the rapture, and studied the scriptures for 4.5 years, trying to find out about the rapture. I never found the scriptures declaring a rapture, but I did educate myself on what God's word says about the coming of Yeshua, and yes He does come, at the last trump, and there is only 1 last trump. I have been convinced by the Holy Spirit, that HE walks with us thru it all...HE knows the difference, from the time we are conceived. He wrote the book on our lives...each of us , and every day of our life is written in the book. I committed all my children into the Lord, right from birth, and did my level best to raise them as believers in God and Yeshua. Not a 1 of them will go to church, not really, maybe once in awhile. BUT, they all believe in God, and Yeshua, howbeit , reluctantly. I have come to realize that I must give it my best, but, they, our kids, have to serve God, and believe out if the conviction of their hearts, not because mom and dad said so. Unfortunately, we as believers think our kids are supposed to grow up and be Christians and live happily ever after, with no temptations, trials, and tribulations. How about we as believers get it!!!. That our children are the targets of the darkness, the goal is to put out their light, and if he, Satan has to use the preacher and his son to destroy the light in your children, then that's what he'll do. WE ARE ALL TARGETS FOR THE DEVILS OF THIS WORLD, AND THEY USE PEOPLE TO DO THEIR BIDDING, UNBEKNOWNST TO THEM, that is the people. That is why believers are supposed to pray, and meditate, and seek God, for the young, no matter how successful they seem to be. You have no idea what's going on at home. Maybe daddy goes to church on Sunday, then goes home a beats the hell out mommy, then brags about what a fine upstanding Christian he is. Unfortunately, that type of hypocritical behavior has driven many a child away from God and into alterior spiritual paths. They have a longing For God, but are looking for an alternative, because the wicked one has caused somebody to stumble,band cause harm to others. Whether it be spiritual, mental or physical, harm is harm, and the love of God, and His word are what's required to heal the soul. God is the author and finisher of our faith, and just because people fall don't mean they can't get u. Not all, but many do. Don't be harsh and chase people away from God. Understand, God is raising that soul, and ministering to it. Whether to we approve or not. God bless you all... May God's law be mercy and patience be more than any of us can imagine.but, we are judged by our words and actions.
My pride and vanity can cloud my pathway at times... I thank the Lord for the gift of the Holy Spirit who reminds me to repent and get back up onto the straight and narrow road and directs my steps by putting our Lord Jesus Christ first in my walk of life... Thank you for that penetrating sermon...
Finally someone who knows what they're talking about this is a very good video I have been preaching this for over a year nobody can accept this truth, all they want to do is say is believe but they don't want to change they still want to stay in bondage to sin they don't want to take up their cross and walk with Jesus everyday and righteousness, they just want to stay in bondage to sin and still be saved!!! It's very sad!!!
Thank you for your teaching, it's the most challenging I've experienced in a long time. I agree - you must be born again. Only then will your heart change. Good news is you only can be, and need to be, born again once! Amen.
We are saved by grace through faith. No works needed. That ended with the death of Christ. Paul is our apostle for the church age. Our works however will be judged at the judgment seat of Christ. But once we are saved the Bible says we are sealed and there is nothing or nobody that can change that.
What you're saying here is very true, and Mike pearl also teaches this I'm thinking maybe you've misunderstood bit's understood what he was saying possibly, I look forward to hear from you God-bless you by for now brother Ken. To leave me a message go to my most recent video, And leave me a comment about this I'd like to talk with you God-bless you and keep looking up☝️ By for now brother Ken
It would be nice if brother Mike or somebody from The door would get back to you with your comment blessings to you, thank God for his mercy and grace and his unconditional steadfast love! ... I was under brother Mike's teaching for many years as a young Christian the Lord used him in a major way in my life , and hes been a blessing ever since.. God-bless you by for now brother Ken
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. There is no arguing. .. it says what it says.
@@blairdebbiefedoruk8427 These peoples in MT7 had works, but never trusted in christ, the will of the father is it, that we believe on him, who he sent, the works of god is it to believe on him, who the father send, its iniquity, you own works, only the rightousness of christ counts and its only the blood which god accepts. Able did rightous works, he offered a animals sacrfice, his brother tried to offer god fruiots(his own work), but god havent look on on kains offer
I’m not sure what you’re implying. What mike said cut to the heart and got to the root. No messing around! The message has nothing to do with works to gain salvation but the absolute complete opposite! Repent towards God and faith towards Jesus Christ… Examine yourself!
Work not the works of the law. James chapter 2, says we do works if faith. (Hebrews 13, verse 21) It is Christ who works in us. Jesua said, go and sin no more. Work not sinful works.
its not about us…. not about our works. we are sinners and thank God He knows our fragile frames. its about the blood of Christ. not about me. To be born again, accepting and believing on and in what Christ did for us. my bible reads whosever believes on the Lord Jesus will be saved. i make mistakes because of my sinful nature. i cannot wait for Jesus.. and to receive a glorified body in Him. Praise Jesus of Nazareth 🙏❣️
You stated it correctly when you stated that it is not about us. That's a good point. That means it's not about what we think. It is not about our perception of faith in Christ. We do not get to make Faith how we want it to be. The Messiah told us that love of the world is not good. He told us that if the love of the world and the lust of the eyes and the love of the life is in us, the love of the father is not. That means you have to come out of the world and to get your house in order. That means you can't just do things the way you want to. It's not about just casting your faith into something and living like the world. This is not the law of attraction. If you are a follower of the Messiah and a believer in our Lord, it will look like it, by default. No one will have to wonder if you are the worldly or not.
Brother Pearl- I was just studying this subject this morning- wondering why these verses are not addressed in the Baptist church I attend. What a confirmation! God bless you!
I really appreciate that you share the Biblical knowledge that you have accumulated over your lifetime of diligent, obedient, fervent study. And that you speak the TRUTH and have the courage NOT to water it down.
Amen. Good message pastor Michael Pearl. Blessings many to you. Faith without works is dead. James tells us this also. The fruit of Faith! This life is a faith Walk. Faith is according to what you believe. Faith. Fruit of the spirit.
I just want to say God bless you Michael Pearl listening to you preaching God's word I had a powerful encounter with the Lord of hosts Through this man God spoke directly to me about what I need to do to be right in the sight of the lord anyone who glorifies the only true God is the one we need to listen to I was a believer but no works listening to God's word helped me realize what I must do and what we all must do and for that it changed me that I will serve the lord for the remainder of this fleshly life and into internal glory of the hereafter God bless you Michael Pearl for preaching God's infallible words God bless
Sounds like you’re counting on what YOU DO to ultimately save you. The ONLY thing that makes you right with God is being in Christ~~which is by God’s grace through faith alone in what Christ accomplished at the cross.
Romans 10:9-10 (KJV) 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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Awesome, Then one should pick up there cross and follow Christ. Most believers here, think they can believe in Christ and sit back on there arm chair and live there worldly life. Unfortunately most sold there Worldly life. The covid vaccine was not a vaccine against a virus but against freedom! COVID 19 = COV = Certificate Of Vaccination. Consent ID = Identification 19 = Alphabetically 1 = A. 9 = I One has given consent in giving there person over to A.I. The jab is the forerunner to the chip. No rapture for those who walked through the door of the antichrist...
This is the best I have heard from your ministry. Truth is not always acceptable to some ,but to those who seek the truth it is a blessing to feel and know what you did say is the truth. The rock. My foundation and I hope a lot more will come to him with staying power. Signs are apparent. I never gave a lot of thought to the Bible for decades. When I started reading, at some point I asked God to help me understand his word. Man can , ministers of God can and do leave out the whole truth too often. God hasn't let me down. There is very little I haven't understood when reading. I asked in Jesus name and God sent me a counselor. It will be given you. Thanks.
The first will be last , and the last will be first . Saved by Jesus Christ and what he said because I believe him ..He’s God and I believe what he said to me is true he never lies . . Whoever calls on the name of the Lord is saved .
Our works are filthy rags. When we believe in Jesus we are baptized in the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit will lead you into truth. The Holy Spirit will tug at your heart. We are still in this sin full body and we will make mistakes. Don’t beat your self up. Keep focus on Jesus and rest in his work on the cross.
“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.” Titus 2:11-14
“What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 6:15-23
The Lord is the Author and Finisher of my faith. Thanks be to God. I could never do it on my own. For if we are faithless, He remains faithful. If someone shacking up is lost after being saved, where would that have left David. Peter denied Him. Jesus came to seek and save the lost. While we must pick up our cross daily, denying the flesh, and striving to be Holy, we also cannot take credit. We will never be good enough, He paid it on the cross.
@@gritsteel3225 yes, god cant lie and promissed enternal life to everyone, who believes in christ/ trusting only the gospel to come in heaven : Christ died for our sins, was buried and rose again on the 3rd day. God stays faithful, also if we dont
Lord have mercy on so many souls and I pray that when he comes he finds me doing the right things Lord let me live accordingly to your word Jesus please Lord I ask you to cleanse me make me new mold me Jesus for your lord All of your videos are awesome I’ve learned so much Great lesson about the truth! Thank you for your lessons and the word of God I praise you Jesus 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
The best sermon or service I've heard in a decade. All of it was needed to say. Kinda like clearing your conscience to those whom FEEL yet have no conviction. I know I needed to hear it from you in particular. Ashes and sackcloth.
The believing is obedience. The obedience The believing, you can't separate them the believing and the obeying. If you say you believe but don't obey, you don't actually believe you just have the intention of believing.
I thank the LORD for this excellent teaching from a faithful servant - and to those of you who subscribe to a different gospel other than that of the Word of God thru the King James Bible, I leave this message, Matthew 23:13
Amen, dead faith is a nonbeliever because faith produces good works-God's work. "Action speaks louder than words" the wheat and the tares. Matthew 15:8 💝 "These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me."
Amen very well said I think the Lord For his word! For it is a lamp onto our feet and a light onto our path. Look forward How am I to hear from you Is by for now brother Ken. If you would like to touch base leave a message on my most recent video about my comment and I'll get back with you blessings and keep looking up☝️ Soon and Very soon we're going to see the King By for now, brother Ken
There will be many who have a mental assent but not a true belief in Jesus; they are thinking they will get in but they have no oil in their lamp, no wedding clothes, no changed nature because they are not born again. 1 John 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure Galatians 5 24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him
I see this happen quite often unfortunately. Guys who were once very Spirit led and have great wisdom get comfortable in their ministry for many years, then end up feeling like they are something special and have accomplished so much that they start looking down on others like those other people can't be saved...look at them. They don't do as much as i do. They don't follow the rules. they keep making all those mistakes. Surely they wont get the same salvation as me. Look at all I have done. As soon as that happens they are no longer in The Lord's will and their ministry becomes a ministry about works rather than grace. Might as well be a mormon now.
Exactly how I feel when I watched this. I would’ve loved to ask him what about the dying man or an addict. How would you preach eternal life through Christ? Must they put the pipe down right away before they overdose and go to hell or can we give them the gospel and they simply believe in the savior and that there’s a way out of this sin ridden world? Hmmm..
So very true, all you said. Made me think as a believer and also being baptised. Thnx for the courage to speak the truth. My Elohim is YAHVAH,HIS SON, YAHVAHSHUA.
I can say with truth that I did walk away from from all things Holy and choose to live a life of disobedience for years. The best thing I ever did was Get on my knees and ask for Christ’s forgiveness.
I tell you all that believe in God. I've tried speaking for years to the lay. This weekend is going to be the time to prepare. Beginning living aa if today's is the last day. Be kind and grateful. Give thanks to Jesus. Do good unto your brother man. As He said, pray for your procecuters so thay it may soften their heart.
I believe that so many denominations have all missed the point. Faith without the works to reflect it, and works that don't reflect any faith, are dead both ways. Thank you for your discernment and commitment to Gods word.
I had the privilege to met this man. I was at this meeting. We traveled a long way! I look up to mike and the family because of the teaching we’ve received over the years and because of it many others are receiving the same because I’m repeating it. You folks are so privileged. When I finally had the chance to thank mike face to face he simply put his head down, said thank you and by his actions wanted nothing to do with any glory. Truly! A group of people who love Jesus. I so wanted to talk with mike a lot more but I guess we will wait for the call ! But thank you ! Thank you door team! Let mike know I’m a pure blood but living in Canada made things difficult to get to the meeting. Don’t ask and I won’t tell. Please let him know.
Nobody ever speaks about the initial faith in Jesus is what saves someone, but once they are saved through faith, then what keeps them there are their works. It makes perfect sense. The fruit is what keeps you saved under the blood. Nobody can get hired and keep their job by sitting down on the job.
This is a very touchy subject because i believe you must strive or work to be like Christ so its continual till you die .I think the people that dont believe this pastor do have faith with works they dont know it thow .We know the spirit is allways fighting with flesh God knows our heart
In scripture or by a message I hear in a sermon. I've received beautiful soft messages in my spirit just by noticing a cloud formation that looks like the cross. He is my all in all and I can't wait to behold His face. He's the first one I want to see when I go to heaven if I pass away before the Rapture. Oh how I love Jesus because He first loved me.
Thanks for the truth from Gods Holy Word, even though i go to a Baptist Church, when i go i Look to consetrate not on the Demomination or so i can say i went or go to church but to focus in worship the God that gave His Only Begotten, HE IS RISEN!!!
I have to disagree with this. When James was speaking to a crowd and said “faith without works is dead”, he meant serving faith not saving faith. He was referring to the people in the crowd as “beloved” and “brethren” indicating that he was speaking to a crowd of believers in the gospel. Therefore these people were already saved. What James was talking about was good works makes you progress in your sanctification not your justistification.
I have to remind myself every day now ; "by grace through faith". This is so hard to know if I'm truly saved, I want to be, I want to go to heaven, I want my relationship with God to be REAL and I second guess it at every turn because I still do so many things I shouldnt.
Don't let guys like this preacher get you down. The fact that you are concerned means you DO believe Jesus is God, if you didn't then you wouldn't be worried. All that is needed for salvation is faith in Jesus. as per Acts 16:29-34 Romans 7:14-25 sees Paul talking about not doing what he should and not measuring up to the law. The fact of the matter is Jesus didn't come to remove the law, rather he raised the standard of the law, and in so doing provided the means to overcome the law, that is, belief in him so that his perfection is weighed for you rather than your imperfection. Don't let this world and the old sin nature get you down, struggle is expected, Jesus redeems.
Then I am lost because I have begged the Lord to save me and yet I am far from perfect. I have improved over time but I still sin. I ask for forgiveness and try to move forward but apparently I just am not saved as I don’t have these “Good works”. Sometimes I even struggle with my belief and doubt my salvation but apparently my doubt is real and I’m lost and have no idea how to be saved.
I made a comment earlier that people who are weak in their faith could be destroyed by his preaching. Go worship God in spirit and in truth as Jesus commands. Salvation comes from Christ alone and his atonement. Don’t be confused just read the Bible, pray and obey his words. God knows your heart. That’s all that matters. Jesus said on the cross “ it is finished “. He did the salvation work. Just love Jesus and he will give you the work he wants you to do.
Mr. McGuck, Do you believe the gospel of Christ; WHO He is according to the scriptures and that He died for the forgiveness of your sins on the cross, was buried and resurrected? If so, you are saved, justified, born of the Spirit and sealed until the day of redemption. (Please read Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV) Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that BELIEVETH; to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 1 John 5:13 These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that YE HAVE eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. Please don’t let anyone cause you to doubt your salvation. We don’t look at ourselves and the condition of our lives for assurance. We look only to the shed blood of Christ! Philippians 3:9. And be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.
Do you believe that Jesus Christ is God? Have you ever believed that? Do you believe He died for you? On a cross? Raised again 3 days after - and all of this according to the scripture? If you have believed these things at any time, rest assured, sinner as you are, which am I also - that you are WELL SAVED! Go to your Lord, and see that instead of scoffing at you - He will embrace you, put a robe on you, a ring on your finger, sandals on your feet and declare openly that "My son was once lost, and is now found, He was dead and is now Alive!" and will with exceeding joy, bring you into His loving embrace. I have had doubts, I have sinned, because I am HUMAN. I have the sins of my ancestors coursing through my veins just as you do. Do not seek self perfection - seek HIS perfection: because He died for you just the way you are.
We strive to be without sin, and yet, if we were ever to arrive at our destination, John said we would be deceiving ourselves. Why are we reaching for something that cannot attain? This message truly is more about confliction than conviction. Death is separation from God. Sin is what you do apart from God, good or bad Life is union with God. Righteousness is what you do with God - all good. Good works are the job of the Holy Spirit in you. When you pray, thy will be done, you are asking him to do his will in you. Your job is to yield your members to God as instruments of righteousness. This takes faith. Meditate on John 15:9-12. Sins are remembered no more under the New Covenant. They are there and always will be. Just realize that when others offend you as you in the same way you offended God, you will need to forgive them to keep the mercy granted you-parable of the unforgiving servant. You keep sinning, you reap what you sow. Reach for righteousness, don't waste your time sweeping the house.
Have peace brother by confidence in our Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is through Jesus Christ alone. Acts 10:36 This is the message of the good news for the people of Israel- there is peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. Act 10:43 Everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name. Read the Bible and learn God’s word. There are numerous verses like 1Corinthians 6:11 that state we are sanctified and justified by Jesus and the Holy Spirit. And avoid anyone like Mikey here who leaves that verse out but only reads 6:9-6:10 it causes you to doubt God’s Mercy & Love and what his son Jesus Christ did for us all on the cross. Saint Paul also warns people like Mikey here in Romans 14 to accept other believers who are weak in faith, Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge if they stand or fall, and with the Lords help they will stand and receive his approval.
Great message, but not quite the pure gospel. We aren’t called to love God with all our hearts, soul and mind before God saves us… that’s tiring, laborious and discouraging. A sinner dead in sin has no strength to Love God with! Righteousness is so simple we miss it. It’s simply by believing on Jesus! He IS the Love of God! God puts Christ- His own Love into our hearts ♥️. Not us proving we Love Him first. There’s no labor or work to believe to receive.
I do not think Michael is trying to get anyone to doubt their salvation. Listen to his sermon on God dealing with sinning Christians. That sermon will put to rest any belief that he preaches works salvation... We all need to take an honest look at our walk with the Lord from time to time. It may just humble us and have us going toward the Lord to work on the things we believe he would not be pleased with or we will get a reminder to praise our God for his sustaining power and his work in our lives in sanctifying us. Either way, we are blessed. Glory to God!
@Eli Leubner What about the parable of the 10 virgins 5 were wise 5 were not? Or the parable of the 3 servants 1 didn't do anything With what the master gave him. Or the verse where it says on that day they will come to me and say Lord Lord didn't we prophesize in your name, cast out demons in your name, Minister and your name. I will clearly say to them depart for me I never knew you, workers of iniquity. It's not that the works save you, but because I believe I want to do good works. We are the salt and the light of the world. Faith without works is dead.
The fourGospel written TO Jews not Gentiles. Get into apostle Paul’s epistles begin in ROMANS. This “pastor” Paul is a religionist of the the Jewish religion.
Romans 6:23, as it is rendered in the English and as it is understood in the English, contradicts the entire previous 22 verses of the chapter. The second have of verse 23 is a synopsis of verse 22. The "free gift" is charisma, a result of the Spirit working in you. It is unfortunate that this verse is so universally misunderstood. There are only two essentials in my book: the word of God is inspired, and if my interpretation of the word of God is inspired, all conflicts are resolved. The general understanding of Romans 6:23 does not pass the second essential.
I was raise with an English mother that loved Jesus Muslim dad now a believer in Jesus its all because of him but I don't think I understood today really helped me thank you
Please be aware, a person must TRUST in their Heart ONLY on the following for salvation and leaving in the Rapture: 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV) - "Christ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures…" Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Faith ALONE Only on Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection ALONE, is required. GRACE means UNMERITED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. Believing the New Testament Gospel of Salvation, plus NOTHING, results in Salvation.) All People Have Sinned and Cannot Earn Any Part of Salvation. Works ONLY show evidence of faith: John 3:36 (KJV), “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the WRATH of God abideth on him.” Romans 3:23 (KJV), “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” Romans 6:23 (KJV), “For the wages of sin is DEATH; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (‘Death’ means eternal spiritual death and hell). The following shows the OT and New Testament (NT) both tell us works cannot save. Romans 3:20 (KJV), “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight:....”: Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags...”
He said you believe but you will still go to hell. Wrong if you believe you will go to Heaven. John 3:16 - John 6:28,29 and a whole lot more. Please learn dispensation. We are under Paul’s dispensation. We are under grace through faith.
Our lives and actions won’t always reflect who we are in Christ. We all stumble in many ways. Being a Christian doesn’t mean you’ll never sin again, but it does mean you’ll never be ok with sin again. When we fall into the old patterns of our old selves, it won’t feel right to us and we’ll remember that we are God’s beloved children, Holy, and created unto good works. Then in faith, we’ll start behaving as such again, not perfectly, but increasingly.
I have read that verse many times and one day as I was reading it again, I understood it in a whole different way. I saw the 2 men as the same person and the Holy Spirit of that man raised up while the “old man” or fleshly sinner left behind. I don’t know why it was revealed that way but it was and I now see it in a whole new light. For me it was the “born again” person being raised up and the old sinner left behind. I understand the common interpretation of this verse as stated by this Pastor and I’m not saying he is wrong at all. This is just a way that I came to see it as well.
You guys, he is simply saying that if you truly truly believe with your entire heart in Jesus, then your life and actions will show your love for Jesus. If in your heart you believe in what Jesus has done for you, you will WANT to follow what the Bible says and will want to please the Lord by your actions. 🙌
i try this over and over and its killing me, i know jesus is real but thats as far as it goes, and i hate it
@@lukeshirtliff7861
I definitely know what you mean. Believe, and the faith of God will be given to you to continue believing. Continuously be in God’s word, and he will never let you down. This is something that is important for all of us too.
Amen bro!!!
This is all vague nonsense.
@@linjicakonikon7666it is only vague for those who are blind.
We are saved by grace through faith
True that!
If your life mirrors the life of a sinner you are not born again. II Cor. 5:17
And John 3:7-8.
@@NHisways if you think you're not a sinner still no matter what you do, you have no faith.
“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”
You didn’t die physically when you were born again. Your flesh didn’t cease to tempt you. How can you prove you were saved?
How much sin would it take for your life to “mirror” an unsaved life? Is there some type of meter that fills up the more sin we have? Does God just turn a blind eye to a few little sins here and there? Is it just the *big* sins we have to worry about? Does he not chasten and scourge us for our sins as Hebrews 12:6 says?
Brother or Sister, does 1st John not outright tell us that we all have sin? It tells us we’re sinning if we say otherwise. Likewise, it tells us that we have an advocate with the father through our Lord Jesus Christ. If it were not possible for a Christian to sin or backslide, that book wouldn’t exist.
We should live for Christ just as 2nd Corinthians 5:15 and 1st John 2:6 say; but let’s also not pretend that John didn’t speak of a sin unto death for a believer who has continued sinning (1st John 5:16). He didn’t say he would lose his salvation or that he never had it.
If the requirement for heaven is anything but faith in the blood of Jesus, I'm screwed. I have nothing to offer, I'm the new chief among sinners. God said He commended His love unto me in that while I was yet a sinner Jesus died for me. The good that I would do, I do not and the evil that I would not do, those things I do. Praise the Lord, Jesus WILL deliver me from this body of death. I don't want to sin, I love Him, but I'm a sinner and it looks like I will be until I see Him and receive my glorified body. He said, that some would say to Him didn't we DO these great works in your name? That won't be me. I'll plead the blood of my Savior Jesus, God become flesh to sacrifice Himself in my place. Jesus took my punishment, He has removed my sin from me as far as the east is from the west and that wasn't enough for Him, then He clothed me in His righteousness. He said the work of God was to believe on the one He sent, Jesus. I understand what you're saying but How many works are enough? You've done many wonderful things for the Lord, I'll never catch you. Are there others who are as far ahead of you as you are ahead of me? I suspect so. Who's done enough?
Only Jesus has done enough, and as He said, He clothes me in His righteousness because I've put my faith in Him. I trust Him, not me, I'm hot garbage.
I relate to how you feel, I feel this way too 😭
AMEN and amen!!!
@@Augustuty me too man, how am i supposed to look at my works as evidence of true faith and turn around and say faith alone, this is perseverance of the saints, but he said its not, what am i not understanding??
I may unfortunately even be more of a chief in sinners than you brother, but I am right there with what you professed. I am going to do everything I can do for Jesus because I love him, I will try to learn everything he wants me know and I will try my best. But I will not rely on myself for salvation. I will rely on what Jesus Christ’s has already done with hisprecious blood and the promise he made to us who believe him.
You are humbled it's good thing to acknowledge we are no good and nothing to offer. Jesus said those who humble themselves will be exalted those who seek to exalt themselves will be humbled.
God bless you 🙏 ❤️ 🙌
You are exchanging your lost state for his redemptive work on the cross at Calvary. What a great God we have! Once this transaction is complete it can never be undone.
I love my Lord. I talk to Him all day. In every circumstance I go to Him. I cannot tolerate the things of this world. I have no interest in materialistic things. This world is not my home, I'm just passing through!!! He is the first thing on my mind in the morning and the last thing on my heart and mind before I go to sleep. I often hear Him speak to me either by His Word
Amen sister!!! God bless you!
Amen sister, blessings from Canada.
I have been a believer for 40 yrs...and when in the states I learned about the rapture, and studied the scriptures for 4.5 years, trying to find out about the rapture. I never found the scriptures declaring a rapture, but I did educate myself on what God's word says about the coming of Yeshua, and yes He does come, at the last trump, and there is only 1 last trump. I have been convinced by the Holy Spirit, that HE walks with us thru it all...HE knows the difference, from the time we are conceived. He wrote the book on our lives...each of us , and every day of our life is written in the book.
I committed all my children into the Lord, right from birth, and did my level best to raise them as believers in God and Yeshua.
Not a 1 of them will go to church, not really, maybe once in awhile. BUT, they all believe in God, and Yeshua, howbeit , reluctantly.
I have come to realize that I must give it my best, but, they, our kids, have to serve God, and believe out if the conviction of their hearts, not because mom and dad said so.
Unfortunately, we as believers think our kids are supposed to grow up and be Christians and live happily ever after, with no temptations, trials, and tribulations. How about we as believers get it!!!. That our children are the targets of the darkness, the goal is to put out their light, and if he, Satan has to use the preacher and his son to destroy the light in your children, then that's what he'll do. WE ARE ALL TARGETS FOR THE DEVILS OF THIS WORLD, AND THEY USE PEOPLE TO DO THEIR BIDDING, UNBEKNOWNST TO THEM, that is the people. That is why believers are supposed to pray, and meditate, and seek God, for the young, no matter how successful they seem to be. You have no idea what's going on at home. Maybe daddy goes to church on Sunday, then goes home a beats the hell out mommy, then brags about what a fine upstanding Christian he is. Unfortunately, that type of hypocritical behavior has driven many a child away from God and into alterior spiritual paths. They have a longing For God, but are looking for an alternative, because the wicked one has caused somebody to stumble,band cause harm to others. Whether it be spiritual, mental or physical, harm is harm, and the love of God, and His word are what's required to heal the soul. God is the author and finisher of our faith, and just because people fall don't mean they can't get u. Not all, but many do.
Don't be harsh and chase people away from God. Understand, God is raising that soul, and ministering to it. Whether to we approve or not. God bless you all... May God's law be mercy and patience be more than any of us can imagine.but, we are judged by our words and actions.
Amen to that sister
My pride and vanity can cloud my pathway at times... I thank the Lord for the gift of the Holy Spirit who reminds me to repent and get back up onto the straight and narrow road and directs my steps by putting our Lord Jesus Christ first in my walk of life... Thank you for that penetrating sermon...
I am so glad that Jesus died for me as I know I wouldn't stand without Him.
It's refreshing to here a brother in Jesus Christ with backbone and loves Jesus thank you
I can’t thank you enough for speaking the truth! God bless and may all who will hear this, make their calling and election SURE! ❤️🌹🙏🏼☺️
Finally someone who knows what they're talking about this is a very good video I have been preaching this for over a year nobody can accept this truth, all they want to do is say is believe but they don't want to change they still want to stay in bondage to sin they don't want to take up their cross and walk with Jesus everyday and righteousness, they just want to stay in bondage to sin and still be saved!!! It's very sad!!!
Thank you for your teaching, it's the most challenging I've experienced in a long time.
I agree - you must be born again.
Only then will your heart change.
Good news is you only can be, and need to be, born again once!
Amen.
We are saved by grace through faith. No works needed. That ended with the death of Christ. Paul is our apostle for the church age. Our works however will be judged at the judgment seat of Christ. But once we are saved the Bible says we are sealed and there is nothing or nobody that can change that.
Amen .
What you're saying here is very true, and Mike pearl also teaches this I'm thinking maybe you've misunderstood bit's understood what he was saying possibly, I look forward to hear from you God-bless you by for now brother Ken. To leave me a message go to my most recent video, And leave me a comment about this I'd like to talk with you God-bless you and keep looking up☝️ By for now brother Ken
Amen
Thankyou. The Holy Spirit convicted me with your teaching. Greatly appreciated from New Zealand.
It would be nice if brother Mike or somebody from The door would get back to you with your comment blessings to you, thank God for his mercy and grace and his unconditional steadfast love!
... I was under brother Mike's teaching for many years as a young Christian the Lord used him in a major way in my life , and hes been a blessing ever since.. God-bless you by for now brother Ken
To him that worketh not but believeth, his faith counts as righteousness! There's no arguing over that verse!
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
There is no arguing. .. it says what it says.
@@blairdebbiefedoruk8427 These peoples in MT7 had works, but never trusted in christ, the will of the father is it, that we believe on him, who he sent, the works of god is it to believe on him, who the father send, its iniquity, you own works, only the rightousness of christ counts and its only the blood which god accepts. Able did rightous works, he offered a animals sacrfice, his brother tried to offer god fruiots(his own work), but god havent look on on kains offer
If your life mirrors the life of a sinner its probably because you are not saved.
I’m not sure what you’re implying.
What mike said cut to the heart and got to the root. No messing around! The message has nothing to do with works to gain salvation but the absolute complete opposite! Repent towards God and faith towards Jesus Christ…
Examine yourself!
Work not the works of the law.
James chapter 2, says we do works if faith.
(Hebrews 13, verse 21)
It is Christ who works in us.
Jesua said, go and sin no more.
Work not sinful works.
Wonderful message , right on point.
its not about us…. not about our works. we are sinners and thank God He knows our fragile frames. its about the blood of Christ. not about me. To be born again, accepting and believing on and in what Christ did for us. my bible reads whosever believes on the Lord Jesus will be saved. i make mistakes because of my sinful nature. i cannot wait for Jesus.. and to receive a glorified body in Him. Praise Jesus of Nazareth 🙏❣️
You are perfectly right.
Amen sandiland
I guess you better follow all of the words of the Messiah then. Faith in the Messiah means we follow what the Messiah says or our faith is dead.
You stated it correctly when you stated that it is not about us. That's a good point. That means it's not about what we think. It is not about our perception of faith in Christ. We do not get to make Faith how we want it to be.
The Messiah told us that love of the world is not good. He told us that if the love of the world and the lust of the eyes and the love of the life is in us, the love of the father is not. That means you have to come out of the world and to get your house in order. That means you can't just do things the way you want to. It's not about just casting your faith into something and living like the world.
This is not the law of attraction.
If you are a follower of the Messiah and a believer in our Lord, it will look like it, by default. No one will have to wonder if you are the worldly or not.
Amen✝️🙌
Brother Pearl- I was just studying this subject this morning- wondering why these verses are not addressed in the Baptist church I attend. What a confirmation! God bless you!
I really appreciate that you share the Biblical knowledge that you have accumulated over your lifetime of diligent, obedient, fervent study. And that you speak the TRUTH and have the courage NOT to water it down.
He is a good preacher
Amen. Good message pastor Michael Pearl. Blessings many to you. Faith without works is dead. James tells us this also. The fruit of Faith! This life is a faith Walk. Faith is according to what you believe. Faith. Fruit of the spirit.
I just want to say God bless you Michael Pearl listening to you preaching God's word I had a powerful encounter with the Lord of hosts Through this man God spoke directly to me about what I need to do to be right in the sight of the lord anyone who glorifies the only true God is the one we need to listen to I was a believer but no works listening to God's word helped me realize what I must do and what we all must do and for that it changed me that I will serve the lord for the remainder of this fleshly life and into internal glory of the hereafter God bless you Michael Pearl for preaching God's infallible words God bless
Sounds like you’re counting on what YOU DO to ultimately save you. The ONLY thing that makes you right with God is being in Christ~~which is by God’s grace through faith alone in what Christ accomplished at the cross.
Romans 10:9-10 (KJV)
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. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Awesome,
Then one should pick up there cross and follow Christ.
Most believers here, think they can believe in Christ and sit back on there arm chair and live there worldly life.
Unfortunately most sold there Worldly life.

This is the best I have heard from your ministry. Truth is not always acceptable to some ,but to those who seek the truth it is a blessing to feel and know what you did say is the truth. The rock. My foundation and I hope a lot more will come to him with staying power. Signs are apparent. I never gave a lot of thought to the Bible for decades. When I started reading, at some point I asked God to help me understand his word. Man can , ministers of God can and do leave out the whole truth too often. God hasn't let me down. There is very little I haven't understood when reading. I asked in Jesus name and God sent me a counselor. It will be given you. Thanks.
The first will be last , and the last will be first . Saved by Jesus Christ and what he said because I believe him ..He’s God and I believe what he said to me is true he never lies . . Whoever calls on the name of the Lord is saved .
Our works are filthy rags. When we believe in Jesus we are baptized in the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit will lead you into truth. The Holy Spirit will tug at your heart. We are still in this sin full body and we will make mistakes. Don’t beat your self up. Keep focus on Jesus and rest in his work on the cross.
“For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.”
Titus 2:11-14
“What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness. For when you were slaves of sin, you were free in regard to righteousness. What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Romans 6:15-23
The Lord is the Author and Finisher of my faith. Thanks be to God. I could never do it on my own. For if we are faithless, He remains faithful. If someone shacking up is lost after being saved, where would that have left David. Peter denied Him. Jesus came to seek and save the lost. While we must pick up our cross daily, denying the flesh, and striving to be Holy, we also cannot take credit. We will never be good enough, He paid it on the cross.
Your salvation is sealed in his hands.and not let to your own goodness to “stay saved”
So according to you, one can’t fall away?
@@gritsteel3225 that's what people say
Amen! @fishing

The best sermon or service I've heard in a decade. All of it was needed to say. Kinda like clearing your conscience to those whom FEEL yet have no conviction. I know I needed to hear it from you in particular. Ashes and sackcloth.
A powerful message for those that believe in Ya and so believe they are saved solely for that belief. Thank you!
The believing is obedience. The obedience The believing, you can't separate them the believing and the obeying. If you say you believe but don't obey, you don't actually believe you just have the intention of believing.
This is a great message! Faith if it hath not works, is dead.....

I see this happen quite often unfortunately. Guys who were once very Spirit led and have great wisdom get comfortable in their ministry for many years, then end up feeling like they are something special and have accomplished so much that they start looking down on others like those other people can't be saved...look at them. They don't do as much as i do. They don't follow the rules. they keep making all those mistakes. Surely they wont get the same salvation as me. Look at all I have done.
As soon as that happens they are no longer in The Lord's will and their ministry becomes a ministry about works rather than grace. Might as well be a mormon now.
Exactly how I feel when I watched this. I would’ve loved to ask him what about the dying man or an addict. How would you preach eternal life through Christ? Must they put the pipe down right away before they overdose and go to hell or can we give them the gospel and they simply believe in the savior and that there’s a way out of this sin ridden world? Hmmm..
Is he still saved?
The truth that most will not preach. I pray that I will never fail.
So very true, all you said. Made me think as a believer and also being baptised. Thnx for the courage to speak the truth. My Elohim is YAHVAH,HIS SON, YAHVAHSHUA.
I can say with truth that I did walk away from from all things Holy and choose to live a life of disobedience for years. The best thing I ever did was Get on my knees and ask for Christ’s forgiveness.
I love how the fire alarm is behind you on the stage . Thank you for your ministry !
I tell you all that believe in God. I've tried speaking for years to the lay. This weekend is going to be the time to prepare. Beginning living aa if today's is the last day. Be kind and grateful. Give thanks to Jesus. Do good unto your brother man. As He said, pray for your procecuters so thay it may soften their heart.
I believe that so many denominations have all missed the point. Faith without the works to reflect it, and works that don't reflect any faith, are dead both ways. Thank you for your discernment and commitment to Gods word.
I had the privilege to met this man. I was at this meeting. We traveled a long way!
I look up to mike and the family because of the teaching we’ve received over the years and because of it many others are receiving the same because I’m repeating it. You folks are so privileged.
When I finally had the chance to thank mike face to face he simply put his head down, said thank you and by his actions wanted nothing to do with any glory. Truly! A group of people who love Jesus. I so wanted to talk with mike a lot more but I guess we will wait for the call ! But thank you ! Thank you door team!
Let mike know I’m a pure blood but living in Canada made things difficult to get to the meeting. Don’t ask and I won’t tell. Please let him know.
Nobody ever speaks about the initial faith in Jesus is what saves someone, but once they are saved through faith, then what keeps them there are their works. It makes perfect sense. The fruit is what keeps you saved under the blood. Nobody can get hired and keep their job by sitting down on the job.
Wow thank you for posting this!
We were so thankful to come to the Easter fellowship and hear this.
I've been wanting to hear it again
Bless you, Brother. Keep preaching the Truth.
Thanks brother Pearl for your words of faith and Gods blessings for you and all your family
Thank you Lord for this message.
I been saying this for years. People hate the Truth. Speaking Truth 🙏🤎
Blessings and Love to you Michael Pearl. Thank you for your preaching. God Bless.
This is a very touchy subject because i believe you must strive or work to be like Christ so its continual till you die .I think the people that dont believe this pastor do have faith with works they dont know it thow .We know the spirit is allways fighting with flesh God knows our heart
Couldn't have come at a more perfect time. Thank you. This is something that has needed to sink in for some time.
In scripture or by a message I hear in a sermon. I've received beautiful soft messages in my spirit just by noticing a cloud formation that looks like the cross. He is my all in all and I can't wait to behold His face. He's the first one I want to see when I go to heaven if I pass away before the Rapture. Oh how I love Jesus because He first loved me.
Thanks for the truth from Gods Holy Word, even though i go to a Baptist Church, when i go i Look to consetrate not on the Demomination or so i can say i went or go to church but to focus in worship the God that gave His Only Begotten, HE IS RISEN!!!
Thw works that are needed are those we follow a seven step process to find that gives us a transformation into Oneness.
Awesome… thanks buddy…
Amen! Thank you for preaching the Word!
I have to disagree with this. When James was speaking to a crowd and said “faith without works is dead”, he meant serving faith not saving faith. He was referring to the people in the crowd as “beloved” and “brethren” indicating that he was speaking to a crowd of believers in the gospel. Therefore these people were already saved. What James was talking about was good works makes you progress in your sanctification not your justistification.
James is written to the 12 tribes of Israel. You need to watch 8 kingdoms and mikes video on repentance.
James 1:1
James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
i have also thought it meant dead, like a restaurant can be dead, useless, not about justification
@Webballs no he's not. He's telling you the truth and you don't like it.
A trustworthy Christian post's their testimony with their actual name
The living word of God is TRUTH!!!
Another awesome message Mike, thank you and may God bless y'all 😊🙏
I have to remind myself every day now ; "by grace through faith". This is so hard to know if I'm truly saved, I want to be, I want to go to heaven, I want my relationship with God to be REAL and I second guess it at every turn because I still do so many things I shouldnt.
Don't let guys like this preacher get you down. The fact that you are concerned means you DO believe Jesus is God, if you didn't then you wouldn't be worried. All that is needed for salvation is faith in Jesus. as per Acts 16:29-34
Romans 7:14-25 sees Paul talking about not doing what he should and not measuring up to the law. The fact of the matter is Jesus didn't come to remove the law, rather he raised the standard of the law, and in so doing provided the means to overcome the law, that is, belief in him so that his perfection is weighed for you rather than your imperfection.
Don't let this world and the old sin nature get you down, struggle is expected, Jesus redeems.
A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
What a blessing your ministry and preaching is !Looking forward to visiting your church when I swing through on vacation.
Thank you , A true wake up call
This is the scariest truth as a Christian you can hear and know. I am constantly trying check myself with Jesus. So much I have to learn and test.
What's the scary truth? You're saved and sealed until the day of redemption (Ephesians 4:30)
Then I am lost because I have begged the Lord to save me and yet I am far from perfect. I have improved over time but I still sin. I ask for forgiveness and try to move forward but apparently I just am not saved as I don’t have these “Good works”. Sometimes I even struggle with my belief and doubt my salvation but apparently my doubt is real and I’m lost and have no idea how to be saved.
I made a comment earlier that people who are weak in their faith could be destroyed by his preaching. Go worship God in spirit and in truth as Jesus commands. Salvation comes from Christ alone and his atonement. Don’t be confused just read the Bible, pray and obey his words. God knows your heart. That’s all that matters. Jesus said on the cross “ it is finished “. He did the salvation work. Just love Jesus and he will give you the work he wants you to do.
Mr. McGuck, Do you believe the gospel of Christ; WHO He is according to the scriptures and that He died for the forgiveness of your sins on the cross, was buried and resurrected? If so, you are saved, justified, born of the Spirit and sealed until the day of redemption. (Please read Ephesians 1:13-14 KJV)
Romans 1:16
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that BELIEVETH; to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
1 John 5:13
These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may KNOW that YE HAVE eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
Please don’t let anyone cause you to doubt your salvation. We don’t look at ourselves and the condition of our lives for assurance. We look only to the shed blood of Christ!
Philippians 3:9. And be found in Him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith.
Do you believe that Jesus Christ is God? Have you ever believed that? Do you believe He died for you? On a cross? Raised again 3 days after - and all of this according to the scripture?
If you have believed these things at any time, rest assured, sinner as you are, which am I also - that you are WELL SAVED! Go to your Lord, and see that instead of scoffing at you - He will embrace you, put a robe on you, a ring on your finger, sandals on your feet and declare openly that "My son was once lost, and is now found, He was dead and is now Alive!" and will with exceeding joy, bring you into His loving embrace.
I have had doubts, I have sinned, because I am HUMAN. I have the sins of my ancestors coursing through my veins just as you do. Do not seek self perfection - seek HIS perfection: because He died for you just the way you are.
We strive to be without sin, and yet, if we were ever to arrive at our destination, John said we would be deceiving ourselves. Why are we reaching for something that cannot attain?
This message truly is more about confliction than conviction.
Death is separation from God. Sin is what you do apart from God, good or bad
Life is union with God. Righteousness is what you do with God - all good.
Good works are the job of the Holy Spirit in you. When you pray, thy will be done, you are asking him to do his will in you. Your job is to yield your members to God as instruments of righteousness. This takes faith. Meditate on John 15:9-12.
Sins are remembered no more under the New Covenant. They are there and always will be. Just realize that when others offend you as you in the same way you offended God, you will need to forgive them to keep the mercy granted you-parable of the unforgiving servant. You keep sinning, you reap what you sow.
Reach for righteousness, don't waste your time sweeping the house.
Have peace brother by confidence in our Lord Jesus Christ. Salvation is through Jesus Christ alone. Acts 10:36 This is the message of the good news for the people of Israel- there is peace with God through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all. Act 10:43 Everyone who believes in him will have their sins forgiven through his name.
Read the Bible and learn God’s word. There are numerous verses like 1Corinthians 6:11 that state we are sanctified and justified by Jesus and the Holy Spirit. And avoid anyone like Mikey here who leaves that verse out but only reads 6:9-6:10 it causes you to doubt God’s Mercy & Love and what his son Jesus Christ did for us all on the cross.
Saint Paul also warns people like Mikey here in Romans 14 to accept other believers who are weak in faith, Who are you to condemn someone else’s servants? Their own master will judge if they stand or fall, and with the Lords help they will stand and receive his approval.
Thank you brother in Jesus name amen.
20% of people in the church saved,makes me think,why bother, maybe I should just quit, but I won't, get thee behind me satan.
Love you brother. Can’t wait to see you in heaven.
That was Phillip with the Eunuch, blessing that he was seeking the truth from Gods word reading Isaiah, Amazing Grace!!!
Thank you brother Michael
Thank you for this message
I have been sifted and by the blood of Jesus Christ I have been redeemed!!! Get the Lord almighty Gods Word it’s the best think you’ve done!!
Great message. Thank you
Great message, but not quite the pure gospel. We aren’t called to love God with all our hearts, soul and mind before God saves us… that’s tiring, laborious and discouraging. A sinner dead in sin has no strength to Love God with!
Righteousness is so simple we miss it. It’s simply by believing on Jesus! He IS the Love of God! God puts Christ- His own Love into our hearts ♥️. Not us proving we Love Him first.
There’s no labor or work to believe to receive.
I do not think Michael is trying to get anyone to doubt their salvation. Listen to his sermon on God dealing with sinning Christians. That sermon will put to rest any belief that he preaches works salvation... We all need to take an honest look at our walk with the Lord from time to time. It may just humble us and have us going toward the Lord to work on the things we believe he would not be pleased with or we will get a reminder to praise our God for his sustaining power and his work in our lives in sanctifying us. Either way, we are blessed. Glory to God!
I was going to use this video in our Sunday School class as I usually like Pastor Pearl’s teaching. I’m sure glad I listened to it first.
@Eli Leubner What about the parable of the 10 virgins 5 were wise 5 were not? Or the parable of the 3 servants 1 didn't do anything With what the master gave him. Or the verse where it says on that day they will come to me and say Lord Lord didn't we prophesize in your name, cast out demons in your name, Minister and your name. I will clearly say to them depart for me I never knew you, workers of iniquity. It's not that the works save you, but because I believe I want to do good works. We are the salt and the light of the world. Faith without works is dead.
The fourGospel written TO Jews not Gentiles. Get into apostle Paul’s epistles begin in ROMANS. This “pastor” Paul is a religionist of the the Jewish religion.
We are holy and acceptable not in ourselves but because of Yeshua work his blood we do not earn or maintain salvation it is a free gift.
Romans 6:23, as it is rendered in the English and as it is understood in the English, contradicts the entire previous 22 verses of the chapter. The second have of verse 23 is a synopsis of verse 22. The "free gift" is charisma, a result of the Spirit working in you.
It is unfortunate that this verse is so universally misunderstood.
There are only two essentials in my book: the word of God is inspired, and if my interpretation of the word of God is inspired, all conflicts are resolved. The general understanding of Romans 6:23 does not pass the second essential.
Wow pastors will be held more accountable 😬
*Jesus Christ Is My Lord And Savior...* ✝
I was raise with an English mother that loved Jesus Muslim dad now a believer in Jesus its all because of him but I don't think I understood today really helped me thank you
Very very good sermon! 🔥🔥🔥
Few and far are there men that speak truth.
Amazing how depraved our hearts are, Peter said i would never deny you, 3 times, how many have I ?
Please be aware, a person must TRUST in their Heart ONLY on the following for salvation and leaving in the Rapture:
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (KJV) - "Christ (God the Son who came as God in flesh) died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures…"
Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV) - “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God; Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Faith ALONE Only on Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection ALONE, is required. GRACE means UNMERITED FREE GIFT. NO human effort or works can be involved in receiving or keeping salvation. Believing the New Testament Gospel of Salvation, plus NOTHING, results in Salvation.)
All People Have Sinned and Cannot Earn Any Part of Salvation. Works ONLY show evidence of faith:
John 3:36 (KJV), “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the WRATH of God abideth on him.”
Romans 3:23 (KJV), “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God”
Romans 6:23 (KJV), “For the wages of sin is DEATH; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (‘Death’ means eternal spiritual death and hell).
The following shows the OT and New Testament (NT) both tell us works cannot save.
Romans 3:20 (KJV), “Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight:....”:
Isaiah 64:6 (KJV), “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags...”
God bless ya MP
He said you believe but you will still go to hell. Wrong if you believe you will go to Heaven. John 3:16 - John 6:28,29 and a whole lot more. Please learn dispensation. We are under Paul’s dispensation. We are under grace through faith.
No one preaches quite like this brother in Christ.
Our lives and actions won’t always reflect who we are in Christ. We all stumble in many ways. Being a Christian doesn’t mean you’ll never sin again, but it does mean you’ll never be ok with sin again.
When we fall into the old patterns of our old selves, it won’t feel right to us and we’ll remember that we are God’s beloved children, Holy, and created unto good works. Then in faith, we’ll start behaving as such again, not perfectly, but increasingly.
This is my commandment that you love one another
as I have loved you.
Amen! Great sermon of truth. God bless. 🙏
I found the dam analogy very helpful!
The more I begged God to remove my addiction the more he brought me to the end of myself. Rom 10.4
I have read that verse many times and one day as I was reading it again, I understood it in a whole different way. I saw the 2 men as the same person and the Holy Spirit of that man raised up while the “old man” or fleshly sinner left behind. I don’t know why it was revealed that way but it was and I now see it in a whole new light. For me it was the “born again” person being raised up and the old sinner left behind. I understand the common interpretation of this verse as stated by this Pastor and I’m not saying he is wrong at all. This is just a way that I came to see it as well.
That's Something To Ponder On,Thank You.
Interesting 🤔
Makes it so much clearer to me. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏿
