A Voice From Hell

- Is hell a real place? And if it is, why would a loving God send people there? Hell is a tough topic, but it’s something Jesus talked about, which means it’s something we should pay attention to. In this message, we’re leaning into the hard questions as we continue our series, Ever Wonder Why?

There is only one place of safety, one place of salvation - the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ that paid the full debt of all our sin. Our biggest mistake is to think that Christ's sacrifice alone is not enough, that we have to add to it our own righteousness and holiness before God will accept us. But God imputes the righteousness of Christ to us as a free gift when we trust in His blood sacrifice alone and not rely on our own holiness also. We are not worthy to have a relationship with God, no matter how holy we try to live. But God offers it as a gift through what Jesus did for us, through His blood that flowed to cleanse us from our sins.
It is all Jesus or it's all you but it is not a combination of the two.
"For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their OWN righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness OF GOD.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."
(Romans 10:3-4)
"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."
(Isaiah 64:6)
Christ is the righteousness of God. This means to be right with God we need HIS righteousness to be imputed to us. We cannot partly rely on our own holiness and good works to be right with God. If we try to add anything to what Christ has already done, we negate what He has done, we make it ineffective on our part. It is like this: Jesus plus nothing (except faith in Jesus) equals everything, but Jesus plus anything equals nothing.
"Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace."
(Galatians 5:4)
The only way to be declared righteous by God is by faith in the blood sacrifice of Jesus. It is not by works, it is by faith. Faith means that you realise that you are totally unworthy of it, that none of your own merits or goodness can ever earn it for you, and that you humble yourself and receive it as a gift through what Jesus did.
God declares you righteous the moment you believe the Good News of your salvation, that Christ died for your sins, was buried and rose from the dead on the third day (see 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). The moment you believe this and you stop trusting in yourself you are born from above, born again into God's kingdom and washed from your sins by the precious blood of Jesus.
"And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood."
(Revelation 1:5)
"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."
(Ephesians 2:8-9)
So it is not about saying a prayer, inviting Christ into your heart and becoming a religious person. This won't save you. It's about you humbly believing and receiving what Jesus has already done to pay your sin-debt through His blood sacrifice, without you trying to partly earn it through your own goodness and holiness. When you believe like this you will be cleansed from your sins by the precious blood of Jesus and God will send the Spirit of His Son into your heart and you will be given the righteousness of Christ in your spirit as a free GIFT. You will be born again and become a new creature in Christ, in your spirit. By God’s working you will become one spirit with Christ.
“But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” (1 Corinthians 6:17)
God's standard is sinless perfection, and Jesus is that standard. Only His righteousness is acceptable to the Father. Only His life perfectly pleased the Father. The Father imputes to us the perfection of Christ, His good works, His righteousness and His holiness, as a free gift when we trust in His blood atonement for our sins.
Faith is our part. It is our childlike trust that what Jesus did for us is real, that it is sufficient, and we receive it from Him as a gift, knowing that we cannot earn it, work for it or deserve it from God in any way; and that we continue in this trust, firmly, every day.
If you are not covered by the blood of Jesus Christ you are not saved. We get covered by His blood by believing in our heart that only His blood sacrifice atoned for our sins. Our religious works, our sincere efforts toward holiness will not save us in the Day of Judgement. Only by being covered by the blood can we ever be saved. We get covered by the blood by believing the Good News as presented to us in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4:
"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures."
We can't make it to heaven on our own righteousnessess, they are as filthy rags (menstrual cloths) before God. We can only enter by being clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. God imputes the righteousness of Jesus to us when we are fully persuaded that His righteous blood was shed as the full and final payment for our sins and that none of our own efforts can ever save us from God’s righteous judgment on our sins.
It is Jesus’ good works, His perfection, His obedience that saves us, not ours.
Romans 5:19
[19]For as by one man's [Adam's] disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one [Jesus Christ] shall many be made righteous.
Romans 1:16-17
[16]For I am not ashamed of the gospel [the good news] 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.
[17]For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Hebrews 10:38
[38]Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Galatians 3:10-11
[10]For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
[11]But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith [by receiving righteousness from God as a free gift through what Jesus did for us].
Galatians 4:4-6
[4]But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
[5]To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
[6]And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Habakkuk 2:4
[4]Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Romans 11:6
[6]And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Romans 3:26-28
[26]To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
[27]Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
[28]Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Romans 4:4-8
[4]Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
[5]But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
[6]Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
[7]Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
[8]Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Romans 5:1,9
[1]Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
[9]Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Hebrews 10:10,14,17,19,22-23
[10]By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
[14]For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
[17]And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
[19]Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
[22]Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
[23]Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Revelation 1:5
[5]And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.
All glory to Jesus Christ, who has saved us by His blood, the blood of the cross.

I was 8 and depressed. I secretly thought of running in front of a truck; I wanted to die. Mom must have known my thoughts because she said if someone is hit by a car they might not die, but instead put them in a wheelchair for life. I did not want that of course so I begged from the bottom of my heart, crying in private for God to help me. As years passed, God sent me helpful people; He led me to choices that I could not undo. Now, as I near the end of my life, I know that since I was 8, God’s plan unfolded slowly in my life and now, everything is so clear, God’s plan makes sense. Praise God!
SO thankful to hear your encouraging story! Your life is so precious to God! You have so much more to do for Him in this life, Maria!

I surrender to my lord Jesus and want to serve him. All the glory to my lord God in Heaven.
Jonas, LISTEN TO ME PLEASE. Human kind enter this world "DEAD IN THEIR SINS" DEAD!!!result in being born again. This is why Jesus said one MUST BE BORN AGAIN . Now, we need "a resurrection before one 'can follow' or 'obey' . Those thoughts and words do not give one a new birth. This new birth comes ONE WAY. Which is to trust in/on Christ for the Forgiviness of our sins allowing God to enter us in His Holy Spirit. NOTICE!! That the critical thinking/what makes Christianity different from the false religions that are based on a 'ladder system' , ie, climbing to God . Christ instead insists that it is not doing good, or to 'make a repentance by changing this or that," Please read all the comments , where people imply that all is good because "they have given their life to Christ." God disallows ANY thinking that steals any glory from God, thus to be saved, can only come when one admits, he is helpless without accepting and trusting thjat Christ is the forgiver and the giver of all grace. This is often rejected because "it is too easy" But that thinking is disrespectful to God, because "it was the furthest thing from "Easy" for the Son of God that could be. Stay away from emphasis on what we do, rather than amazement that salvation is open to anyone who believes in this good news. HE CAME FOR THOSE THAT HE HAD CHOSEN BEFORE THE WORLD WAS.
Jonas. Repentance is the first step. If you realize that you need Him you must know why. You heard about hell, but you need to know the love of Yeshua (Jesus) as well. (John 3:16)He have His Life that you can now become His Child. Read. John 1:12. God is a Holy God and can't look at sin. That is why Jesus paid for yours and mine. Genuine repentance can only happen if we realize how far from God we are in our sins and conviction motivates us to repent. Jesus accepts you with open arms!! You will sin again But know that He forgives and has made you righteous before His Father
Everyone says that but it's hard
I recommitted my life to Christ few weeks ago. This message really grounded me today... I thank Jesus for anointing you to speak such messages.
So blessed to read here that people are surrendering their lives to Christ..Amen.

“Whoever finds God, finds life!”
Which Jesus are you surrendering to?
There is only one Jesus? You need to decide to seek him out in your life.
I pray you don't consider him a joke. For if you do, you need to seek the answers in the whole Bible. I can never make someone like you to believe, but the Bible can. I will pray you find your way and God helps you do so.
@@barbarapatterson4132 There are a lot of versions of Jesus out there. The churches teach that Jesus is God Himself, yet he never claimed any such thing. He said over and over again that he is God's Son. They have made him equal to his Father, something He absolutely refused to do. They have removed his Father's name Jehovah from His own word in order to give preeminence to the son. They have supplanted the Father with the Son, in direct contradiction of the Son's own words, " It is Jehovah your God you must worship and to Him alone you must render sacred service". Matthew 4:10.
So if someone is surrendering their life to a made up Jesus that does not exist, a pagan trinity god not taught in the scriptures, then they are wasting their time. Simply invoking his name and attaching it to things he did not teach is useless. This is exactly why he warned about those saying " Lord, Lord (claiming to be his followers) when he returns, only to be told AT THAT TIME, " Get away from me ! I never knew you". Matthew 7:22
I’m so glad to hear Craig being real and telling people what they need to hear. Ear-tickling is not what people need. They need the truth! Time is short!
I am surrendering all and everything to Jesus!!!!
Thank you Jesus

I'm giving my life to Jesus. Thank you Lord for dying for my sins. Help me God to be better and live the way you want me to live. Amen.

jesus likes to use parable. and most of the words that came out of his mouth were metaphors. He said that when talking about heaven, it is like mustard seeds and yeast. However, we do not literally understand that heaven is yeast. The same goes for hell. Jesus expressed the judgment fire on the day of the last as a metaphor, not literally hell as a place to suffer forever.
So we're forever punished for something we did in a timed world that was heavily influenced by the flesh?

This was the most honest and forthcoming conversation I’ve ever heard in a church about Hell. The Lord is so gracious, kind, merciful, and just and those are just some of the things that I so deeply love about Him. Thank you Pastor for this great conversation that was rooted in truth and the word.

Awsome, best decision in life!
I agree with @ Franko Marks who said: “A dying breed. An endangered species. I am so thankful to the Lord to see a real teaching of God. Its like a breath of fresh air. Like I have been holding my breath under water for so long, and watching this allowed me to come up to the surface and breath again. Praise you Father praise Jesus strength and honor and praise and glory thanks to you forever and ever in Jesus name Amen.”
I am BEYOND GRATEFUL for God to guide me to Pastor Craig. I have never met nor heard a Pastor as relatable & loving as Craig. I listen to your sermons through my ear buds at work because it helps calm me. Father thank you for Pastor Craig!! Amen Amen Amen!!

I’m not a member of Life Church and I’ve only heard 1 or 2 sermons by Pastor Craig before, but my Uncle sent this sermon to me, and I’m glad he did. I’m really proud of Pastor Craig for being willing to preach a sermon that many pastors wouldn’t because of the fear of man. It’s not a feel-good subject, but we must preach on it because Christ Himself did. Bravo to Pastor Craig for his truthfulness on this matter.
Amen telling people what they want to hear is going to be useless in the day off judgment telling what they need to know will be a whole different outlook
AMEN
I prayed to God for this exact video, but did not expect to hear what I have heard from it. I clicked on it right after asking God to speak to me on a real level, through his word. This video, and church are exactly what I asked for. I am so glad your uncle sent you this video, God is so good, and these churches are so rare. I can't go to church in person, and every other church in CZcams either doesn't speak to us online, as we exist, or doesn't preach the reality of the good news. Every once in a while, God has used the broken to speak to me, but it's clear that elevation "church" and others are not God's preachers and sheep. I hope they all come to the good news, as we have today, the real word feels much better than any "feel good message" that they use for bags of the people's money. Thank God for you, I know that God made us brothers and sisters to one another for the good of each other, and I love it! I would love to be in this church, and need fellowship, so if anyone wants fellowship with me, I am watching my notifications for replies. You are amazing
Amen!
@@Ahriman216 God bless you! I’ll fellowship with ya. I’ve not been to this church and I believe this is the first message from here that I’ve heard. Very enriching. God bless this pastor in being unafraid to preach truth.
AMEN!! So glad a Church is rightly speaking the TRUTH!!! 😇

There is only one place of safety, one place of salvation - the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ that paid the full debt of all our sin. Our biggest mistake is to think that Christ's sacrifice alone is not enough, that we have to add to it our own righteousness and holiness before God will accept us. But God imputes the righteousness of Christ to us as a free gift when we trust in His blood sacrifice alone and not rely on our own holiness also. We are not worthy to have a relationship with God, no matter how holy we try to live. But God offers it as a gift through what Jesus did for us, through His blood that flowed to cleanse us from our sins.
It is all Jesus or it's all you but it is not a combination of the two.
"For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their OWN righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness OF GOD.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."
(Romans 10:3-4)
"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."
(Isaiah 64:6)
Christ is the righteousness of God. This means to be right with God we need HIS righteousness to be imputed to us. We cannot partly rely on our own holiness and good works to be right with God. If we try to add anything to what Christ has already done, we negate what He has done, we make it ineffective on our part. It is like this: Jesus plus nothing (except faith in Jesus) equals everything, but Jesus plus anything equals nothing.
"Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace."
(Galatians 5:4)
The only way to be declared righteous by God is by faith in the blood sacrifice of Jesus. It is not by works, it is by faith. Faith means that you realise that you are totally unworthy of it, that none of your own merits or goodness can ever earn it for you, and that you humble yourself and receive it as a gift through what Jesus did.
God declares you righteous the moment you believe the Good News of your salvation, that Christ died for your sins, was buried and rose from the dead on the third day (see 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). The moment you believe this and you stop trusting in yourself you are born from above, born again into God's kingdom and washed from your sins by the precious blood of Jesus.
"And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood."
(Revelation 1:5)
"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."
(Ephesians 2:8-9)
So it is not about saying a prayer, inviting Christ into your heart and becoming a religious person. This won't save you. It's about you humbly believing and receiving what Jesus has already done to pay your sin-debt through His blood sacrifice, without you trying to partly earn it through your own goodness and holiness. When you believe like this you will be cleansed from your sins by the precious blood of Jesus and God will send the Spirit of His Son into your heart and you will be given the righteousness of Christ in your spirit as a free GIFT. You will be born again and become a new creature in Christ, in your spirit. By God’s working you will become one spirit with Christ.
“But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” (1 Corinthians 6:17)
God's standard is sinless perfection, and Jesus is that standard. Only His righteousness is acceptable to the Father. Only His life perfectly pleased the Father. The Father imputes to us the perfection of Christ, His good works, His righteousness and His holiness, as a free gift when we trust in His blood atonement for our sins.
Faith is our part. It is our childlike trust that what Jesus did for us is real, that it is sufficient, and we receive it from Him as a gift, knowing that we cannot earn it, work for it or deserve it from God in any way; and that we continue in this trust, firmly, every day.
If you are not covered by the blood of Jesus Christ you are not saved. We get covered by His blood by believing in our heart that only His blood sacrifice atoned for our sins. Our religious works, our sincere efforts toward holiness will not save us in the Day of Judgement. Only by being covered by the blood can we ever be saved. We get covered by the blood by believing the Good News as presented to us in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4:
"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures."
We can't make it to heaven on our own righteousnessess, they are as filthy rags (menstrual cloths) before God. We can only enter by being clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. God imputes the righteousness of Jesus to us when we are fully persuaded that His righteous blood was shed as the full and final payment for our sins and that none of our own efforts can ever save us from God’s righteous judgment on our sins.
It is Jesus’ good works, His perfection, His obedience that saves us, not ours.
Romans 5:19
[19]For as by one man's [Adam's] disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one [Jesus Christ] shall many be made righteous.
Romans 1:16-17
[16]For I am not ashamed of the gospel [the good news] 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.
[17]For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Hebrews 10:38
[38]Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Galatians 3:10-11
[10]For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
[11]But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith [by receiving righteousness from God as a free gift through what Jesus did for us].
Galatians 4:4-6
[4]But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
[5]To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
[6]And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Habakkuk 2:4
[4]Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Romans 11:6
[6]And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
Romans 3:26-28
[26]To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
[27]Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
[28]Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Romans 4:4-8
[4]Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
[5]But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
[6]Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
[7]Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
[8]Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Romans 5:1,9
[1]Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
[9]Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.
Hebrews 10:10,14,17,19,22-23
[10]By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
[14]For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
[17]And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.
[19]Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
[22]Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
[23]Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)
Revelation 1:5
[5]And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.
All glory to Jesus Christ, who has saved us by His blood, the blood of the cross.

I surrender my life to Jesus. Thank You for loving, helping and protecting my family. I love You!!!!!!!!!!
There is only one place of safety, one place of salvation - the blood sacrifice of Jesus Christ that paid the full debt of all our sin. Our biggest mistake is to think that Christ's sacrifice alone is not enough, that we have to add to it our own righteousness and holiness before God will accept us. But God imputes the righteousness of Christ to us as a free gift when we trust in His blood sacrifice alone and not rely on our own holiness also. We are not worthy to have a relationship with God, no matter how holy we try to live. But God offers it as a gift through what Jesus did for us, through His blood that flowed to cleanse us from our sins.
It is all Jesus or it's all you but it is not a combination of the two.
"For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their OWN righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness OF GOD.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."
(Romans 10:3-4)
"But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."
(Isaiah 64:6)
Christ is the righteousness of God. This means to be right with God we need HIS righteousness to be imputed to us. We cannot partly rely on our own holiness and good works to be right with God. If we try to add anything to what Christ has already done, we negate what He has done, we make it ineffective on our part. It is like this: Jesus plus nothing (except faith in Jesus) equals everything, but Jesus plus anything equals nothing.
"Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace."
(Galatians 5:4)
The only way to be declared righteous by God is by faith in the blood sacrifice of Jesus. It is not by works, it is by faith. Faith means that you realise that you are totally unworthy of it, that none of your own merits or goodness can ever earn it for you, and that you humble yourself and receive it as a gift through what Jesus did.
God declares you righteous the moment you believe the Good News of your salvation, that Christ died for your sins, was buried and rose from the dead on the third day (see 1 Corinthians 15:1-4). The moment you believe this and you stop trusting in yourself you are born from above, born again into God's kingdom and washed from your sins by the precious blood of Jesus.
"And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood."
(Revelation 1:5)
"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."
(Ephesians 2:8-9)
So it is not about saying a prayer, inviting Christ into your heart and becoming a religious person. This won't save you. It's about you humbly believing and receiving what Jesus has already done to pay your sin-debt through His blood sacrifice, without you trying to partly earn it through your own goodness and holiness. When you believe like this you will be cleansed from your sins by the precious blood of Jesus and God will send the Spirit of His Son into your heart and you will be given the righteousness of Christ in your spirit as a free GIFT. You will be born again and become a new creature in Christ, in your spirit. By God’s working you will become one spirit with Christ.
“But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.” (1 Corinthians 6:17)
God's standard is sinless perfection, and Jesus is that standard. Only His righteousness is acceptable to the Father. Only His life perfectly pleased the Father. The Father imputes to us the perfection of Christ, His good works, His righteousness and His holiness, as a free gift when we trust in His blood atonement for our sins.
Faith is our part. It is our childlike trust that what Jesus did for us is real, that it is sufficient, and we receive it from Him as a gift, knowing that we cannot earn it, work for it or deserve it from God in any way; and that we continue in this trust, firmly, every day.
If you are not covered by the blood of Jesus Christ you are not saved. We get covered by His blood by believing in our heart that only His blood sacrifice atoned for our sins. Our religious works, our sincere efforts toward holiness will not save us in the Day of Judgement. Only by being covered by the blood can we ever be saved. We get covered by the blood by believing the Good News as presented to us in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4:
"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures."
We can't make it to heaven on our own righteousnessess, they are as filthy rags (menstrual cloths) before God. We can only enter by being clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Christ. God imputes the righteousness of Jesus to us when we are fully persuaded that His righteous blood was shed as the full and final payment for our sins and that none of our own efforts can ever save us from God’s righteous judgment on our sins.
It is Jesus’ good works, His perfection, His obedience that saves us, not ours.
Romans 5:19
[19]For as by one man's [Adam's] disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one [Jesus Christ] shall many be made righteous.
Romans 1:16-17
[16]For I am not ashamed of the gospel [the good news] 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.
[17]For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
Hebrews 10:38
[38]Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Galatians 3:10-11
[10]For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
[11]But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith [by receiving righteousness from God as a free gift through what Jesus did for us].
Galatians 4:4-6
[4]But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
[5]To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.
[6]And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.
Habakkuk 2:4
[4]Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Romans 11:6
[6]And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

[28]Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Romans 4:4-8
[4]Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
[5]But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
[6]Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,
[7]Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
[8]Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.
Romans 5:1,9
[1]Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:
[9]Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

Thank you for having the courage to preach this message.
It is needed in a time where the true gospel is not preached enough, where the consequences for not believing in Christ are rarely discussed.
Please, do it more. In your church, in the streets, everywhere you go, so many more need to know.
💛
