I am a Christian because I believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the good news, because I am a sinner that is in need of a Saviour, I choose life because to live is Christ. 🌱
This sermon is so good and needed. I need to keep my eyes on Jesus and not myself. Thank you so much❤
Me too!
You believe it, but it's nothing more than that. Nothing provable, all opinion and dogma.
I am a member of Grace Bible Church of Bend, and I'm so thankful for the sound doctrine that is preached from the pulpit. Thankful also for your sound doctrine that is preached.
Thank you Jesus, my only hope. Excellent message.
What did you find excellent about it? Top point?
So true. Many will say to me on that day. Lord have we not ….I will say to them I never knew u depart from me ye cursed into everlasting fire. Scary but true
Scary, yes, but it's not true. You don't, and can't know. Nobody can. The fear that has you paralyzed into this dogma is a vice. Any "god" that is jealous (a human emotion of insecurity), and vengeful (another petty human emotion), is not a "god" at all, but a human-made fear tactic used to control a people groups willing to believe it, but too fearful to see the truth that none of it is actually verifiably real. I wish you freedom from the control.
That is the confusion of some in protestantism. They THINK they are saved - everyone who knows them THINKS that they are saved - then they fall away and it is believed that they were never saved to begin with. So despite the claim, one can really never know if one is saved, or not.
*God's Written Word:* _But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. _*_I do not even judge myself. 4 I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me._*_ 5 Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation from God._ (1 Cor 4:4)
You speak the words of satan. You are absolutely destroying the Gospel with that foolish comment. Repent and believe the Gospel while there is yet time!
1 JOHN 5:13
These things I have written unto you that believe in the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe in the name of the Son of God.
@@lukehelpmetakethisdangmaskoff "You speak the words of satan"
Ad hominem attacks don't work. I could do the same quite easily ... preaching a new Gospel as scripture warns of (Gal 1:8) unheard of in Christianity for nearly 2000 years (the work of the evil one). Better to offer an apologetic to my original post. What is said ... was 100% true:
*That is the confusion of some in protestantism. They THINK they are saved - everyone who knows them THINKS that they are saved - then they fall away and it is believed that they were never saved to begin with. So despite the claim, one can really never know if one is saved, or not.*
So in your fallible interpretation of scripture, St Paul himself had it ALL wrong !
God's Written Word: _But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you or by any human court. _*_I do not even judge myself. 4 I am not aware of anything against myself, but I am not thereby acquitted. It is the Lord who judges me._*_ 5 Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then every man will receive his commendation from God._ (1 Cor 4:4)
"I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may *know* that you have eternal life." 1 John 5:13
@@thegoodsoilsharvest I believe 1 Jn 5: 13. Yet, scripture is clear that one can fall away, thru their own free will, and lose the gift of everlasting life. That is the whole point of the parable of the vine. A branch, attached to Jesus Christ, is 100% saved! Yet, a branch can be cut off, bundled and thrown into the fire. One does so by remaining unrepentant of serious sin. And God out love, lets one thru free will, walk away.
@@TruthHasSpoken I was sharing 1 John 5:13 because you said we could never know if we are saved.
If they fell away, they were never saved to begin with. "They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us." 1 John 2:19
So salvation isn’t about seeking salvation for myself? Doesn’t make any sense. We believe in Jesus for ourselves to get salvation. Duh.
It’s about it Jesus saving ME, not me saving Jesus.
@@hitlard5305 Where did he say that?
@@thegoodsoilsharvest it seems like it’s his 2nd point. It sounds like he’s saying we have to live for Jesus to be saved

Either the Gospel is true and those who call on him are saved, or its not. So many churches lately sowing confusion.
It's not.
Saying 'in Jesus name' is unnecessary if, you are truly IN Jesus. If you are not saved, saying it like a spell won't work.
All of it is a "spell"... it's blood cult rituals, and none of it is provable. Nothing miraculous, except the fact there are still people clinging to the failed religion.
Makes no difference. Mark 16:17-18 Jesus says exactly what traits his followers will have. When have you manifested these traits? If you haven't, gotta doubt your "saved" at all.
I am a Christians because Jesus finished work on the cross saves us from hell. Second Corinthians 5:21 For He who knew no sin, became sin for us, so that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him.
First Corinthians 15:1-4 That Christ died for our sins, according to the scriptures, that HE was buried and rose again on the third day, according to the scriptures.
Galatians 1:6-9 Though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that we have preached unto you, LET HIM BE ACCURSED. As we said before, so say I again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received from us, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.
Romans 1:16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the POWER of God unto salvation to everyone that BELIEVETH, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
The great commission. Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.
First John 5:13. These things have I written unto you that BELIEVE on the name of the Son of God, that ye may KNOW YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE. First John 2:2 And He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world. Jesus died for sinners. Romans 3:23. John 3:18. Believers are no longer condemned, but unbelievers are condemned already because they have not believed on the name of the Son of God.
Forgot Isaiah 45:7 - God created evil... Deut. 22 and 28 (to name just 2 of many cruel chapters of evil shown by this "god" and its people)... Luke 14:26 - Hate your wife, mother, father, children...family (spoken by "Jesus").... Ezekiel 14:9 - God lies.... There's so many more. However, you can look up apologetics which are highly paid by these money machines called churches, to figure out ways to "justify" these things, but in truth, there's no justifying all the issues concerning "god(s)" of the Bible and the countless errors in the human-made bible writings. Didn't even touch on slavery and sexism in the Bible.
@@fourteenten6170 The bible is Gods written word to us. God is not the author of confusion. First Corinthians 15:1-4. First John 2:2. First John 5:13. God hates our sin, but He loves us sinners. That is why He sent His own Son, Jesus, to live a perfectly sinless life, and die in our place as a substitute for our sin we owe God.
John 3:16-18. Galatians 1:6-9. Though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that we have preached unto you, LET HIM BE ACCURSED. As we said before, so say I again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received from us, LET HIM BE ACCURSED. Romans 6;23. For the penalty for sin is death, physical death, but the good news, THE GIFT OF GOD IS ETERNAL LIFE TO THEM THAT BELIEVE. Romans 3:26-28. Jesus paid the sin debt so we can never be condemned again. John 3;18. First John 1:8. If we say we have no sin, we are DECEIVED and the TRUTH is not in us. Romans 3:23. Romans 3:9-10
@@jimkraft9445 More cherry-picked verses of love and acceptance while ignoring the even more numerous erroneous and evil depictions of this god and bible (man-made religious book) throughout. Not to mention the historical inaccuracies, fictitious stories (creation, Adam/Eve, Flood, Exodus, etc) and downright contradictions and holes throughout. There's continuity to you, and divinity in your mind, because YOU assign it to be there and hold fast to that belief, but it's nothing more. If it were true, and you are a "follower of Christ" (Mark 16: 17-18) -- When was the last time you drank poison and lived through it, laid hands and verifiably healed a real disease? I'll accompany you on the next miracle-spree you feel obliged to partake in, gladly. Awaiting more shallow apologetic excuses to solid questions.
@@fourteenten6170 You do not believe it to your own destruction. John 3;18. A fool has said in his heart, there is no God.
@@jimkraft9445 Ah Jimmy, pride comes before a fall.. as it says in Ps 138:6, the proud he knows from afar. Surprised you haven't pulled out the "every knee will bow" cliche for me yet. A projection of "destruction" from a self-righteous cult member is not offensive to me, just the expected insecure antics of someone who has nothing to back up their claims and beliefs when challenged. I wish you peace in your dogma, or freedom from it.
