Thanks for giving these messages it's so important to get the gospel right. Other doctrine we can disagree about but not on salvation.
These are some outstanding lessons! So so helpful!
Interesting that works are required for salvation but not done by us but by Christ. So well explained.
Interesting to that judgement is required for our salvation and we are saved from the wrath of God.
Thankyou Justin and GA.

I finally understand the faith of Christ. Thank you!❣❣
One of the best messages ever!
What a Great Teaching to reinforse and understand what is required for salvation. What do many need to hear in the time that is left. Thanks Justin for addressing this issue very specifically from the scriptures.
An excellent reminder, thank you for this teaching, preaching and edification in the Word of God.
(I ALWAYS WRITE IN CAP LETTERS) ... THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR HELPING US AND GUIDING OUR LEARNING ... I GET THE DIFFERENCE OF AND "FAITH" AND OF OUR [L-O-R-D] ... MAY OUR [L-O-R-D] BLESS YOU EVEN MORE ... SO CLEAR ! ...
Thank you so much sir, more wisdom from God
You have enlightened understanding of the gospel. You share us ,amazing word of God. Death ,burial ,resurection of Christ are the heart of the Gospel. Thanks
It is very good to note that salvation is not clear to most people in church and we can not simplify salvation...When salvation is simplified it leads to a lot of "lost" & "unsaved" people in the church who are still practicing "works" for that salvation.
*AMEN!*
It took about 33 minutes to get to the crux of the gospel. If a person has 3 minutes to live on the side of the road, it shouldn’t take 33 minutes to preach the gospel to them to get them saved.

The gospel is simple, you make it complicated in order for people to rely on your sophisticated opinion.
Gospel simply means MESSAGE.
The message can be good or bad.
This is the eternal message of salvation:
Jesus paid for all our sins.
That Jesus died on the cross for our sins, was buried, and he rose again the third day according to the scriptures.1 Cor15.1-4
And there is only ONE gospel. He preaches there are two.
@@sandramerimee6957 false there are 2
@@BrownBrown270 Heresy
@@BrownBrown270 All taught the same thing Jesus Gospel. Paul was in agreement with Jesus' gospel and doesn't take away from it. Simply believing a set of facts doesn't make one born again. He must repent and believe. Repentance is not a work and neither is baptism. This guy has twisted scripture.
@@sandramerimee6957 Then you make the Word of God a lie.
Romans 16:25 KJV - Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
Paul's Gospel was kept a secret since the World began. To say that it was PREACHED by Jesus is a lie. Even in Luke 18:34 it was Hid to the 12
Luke 18:34 KJV - And they understood none of these things: and this saying was hid from them, neither knew they the things which were spoken.
Gospel of Kingdom = Prophetic
Paul's Gospel = Mystery
Paul and Peter didn't preach same Gospel
Galatians 2:7 KJV - But contrariwise, when they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter;
Conclusion: Why was the Gospel which was given to Paul kept a secret?
Because they wouldn't of Crucified Jesus
1 Corinthians 2:7-8 KJV - But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
over one hour on how to be saved......the bible says simply that the will of God is to believe in him who he sent and that's to believe in Jesus alone that he came and died and rose from the grave for the remission of sins...….when you accept that by faith alone and no works then you are saved...God can not make it any more simple...….even a child can understand and accept such...….Jesus did all the work and we do NOTHING cause God only required us to only believe...……..salvation is a free gift......even the jailer was told to believe on the lord and you shall be saved...…...
Keep in mind repentance is not a work. Repent & believe. Mark 1:15
Jonah 3:10 ►
Verse (Click for Chapter)
King James Bible
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
Romans 3:24-26 is the heart of the Gospel. Strange tho Romans 3:24-26 is completely left out when presenting the Gospel to lost sinners. Look in all the Gospel Tracts out their Romans 3:24-26 is missing from them. WHY is Romans 3:24-26 missing in all the Gospel Tracts?
Nothing is free. It might be free to you, but it was paid for by someone else.
Romans 5:18
King James Version
18 Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.
Sir I have I question can commandments draw us to God or salvation
Please slow down , your saying Books and verses so fast I can not understand what your saying and I have stopped the video and listened multiple times but can not make out what your saying. I want to read and understand but it's hard if you do not speak slower and clearly. I know I'm not the only one that has said this and asked for this. Please slow down
Well it was very simple for the thief on the cross.
Yes, it seemed very simple for the thief on the cross!
We get a peek into one moment in the life of this thief and come to conclusions, as Scripture gives no record of what happened in his life in the immediate past leading up to his crucifixion. So, people simply assume that there was no turning away, no repentance in his life, no surrender to Christ, but he was saved by a mere profession he made, by mere head knowledge.
Does anyone know what transpired in the life of this man since the time he was convicted as a criminal, put in prison and hung on a cross… The fact that Scripture gives no record of what happened in his life does not mean nothing happened.
Since the time he was convicted & while he was in prison, can anyone say he did not come to know Christ, that he never got to know about Christ & His teachings, that He called people to repentance & forgave sins. Can one assume that this man did not repent of his sins & surrender to God? That as he submitted in his brokenness, his heart was prepared by God, by the time he finally physically met Jesus hanging on a Cross side by side & physically spoke with Jesus.
Jesus in his omniscience saw & knew everything about this man and gave him the promise “You will be with me in paradise”.
We in our puny limited minds see only one moment of this man’s life, where he makes a profession about Christ, and jump to conclusions, without knowing anything that happed prior to this event in his life.
We see the tip of the iceberg of his life (as the Scriptures only record this). But Jesus saw the whole iceberg & spoke accordingly in His wisdom, Jesus knew what He was saying & doing. We don’t!
This man could very well be someone who repented and turned in submission and was saved by Jesus Christ by His Grace.
@@dimantha12 Lol
@@dimantha12 Well we know that God gave us in His word all that we needed to know..
@@sandramerimee6957
Yes very true...and God did not give the life story of the thief on the cross, so one cannot assume either way.
But Jesus very clearly said who would be saved...we should heed the Words of Jesus.
John 8:51
Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.”
@@dimantha12 My commented reflected on what God allowed in His word to see and take note on. The thief on the cross clearly demonstrates a no works salvation. No we don't know the life of this thief but just enough to know he was redeemed by a simple faith in Jesus Christ.
Forgiveness and salvation do not happen at the same time, forgiveness happened at the cross, everyone's sin debt was paid in full, completely, but that doesn't mean they are saved, they must trust in the gospel of grace to be justified and declared righteous.
All sin was imputed to Christ once for all, even an unsaved persons sin account is empty but they will go to hell if not saved
Did the thief on the cross go to Heaven?
It thought we were dead in our sins? Isn't that man's situation, apart from Christ?
Can a dead man do anything? CASE CLOSED. God can make dry bones rise up to worship himself.
Its "all God" that saves dead men. Praise his Holy name, brother!
If some one was dying in the road, you've taken the simplicity of the gospel and turned it into a quadratic equation. Are you going to start off with "what colour is the sky" to the guy dying in the road?😵💫
Repent and believe..
SALVATION IS A GIFT FROM GOD
HOW IMPORTANT IS ETERNITY TO YOU?
There is one God, eternally existing in three distinct co-equal persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Deuteronomy 6:4
KJV
4 Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
Matthew 28:19
KJV
19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Ephesians 4:4-6
KJV
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
Colossians 2:9
KJV
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
1 John 5:7 KJV
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Romans 3:23. In fact in Romans 3:9-20 the Apostle Paul gives a very negative view of each and every one of us. He says there is none righteous, none that doeth good, unprofitable, none that understandeth, liars, destruction and misery are in our ways.
All the world is guilty before God (Romans 3:19). It is God’s law that declares each and every one of us as guilty before him, and therefore as Paul declares by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight. The word “justified” means to be found free of guilt. The law cannot justify us because it’s the very thing that declares our guilt.
Romans 3:9-20
KJV
9 What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin;
10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:
14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways:
17 And the way of peace have they not known:
18 There is no fear of God before their eyes.
19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
God is a just and righteous judge. God must be legally and morally right in all that he does. His righteousness and justice will not allow Him to justify a guilty man, therefore the dilemma is how can God justify the guilty and he himself remain just?
Hell is a hot holding place of torment where UNRIGHTEOUS Guity unjustified soul's Go then for eternity for there sins it's called the second death Hell will be thrown into the lake of Fire in the future and the Guity unjustified into the lake of fire also (Second death) for Sin for everlasting destruction scary stuff God is to be FEARED and believed.
Revelation 20:14
KJV
14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Revelation 21:8
KJV
8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
But there is Hope
Romans 6:23
KJV
23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
God’s righteousness without the law has been revealed
Romans 3:21 KJV
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;.
And this righteousness is revealed in the gospel of Christ Romans 1:16-17 KJV
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.
17 For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith..
This gospel is defined in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, as “how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; (Shedding he's BLOOD onto death)And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures”.(God raised Jesus Christ from the dead Bodily and he saw no corruption)
Acts 13:37
KJV
37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
And this gospel now declares God’s righteousness “that he might be JUST and the JUSTIFIER of him which BELIEVETH in Jesus (Romans 3:26).
Therefore, God’s Son (Fully Human without Sin and Fully God Born from the Virgin Mary and eternally existing God manifested in the flesh) the Lord Jesus Christ took, our guilt upon himself and died under our own condemnation to appease the justice and righteousness of God (Romans 3:25), and now God will FREELY justify any man (Romans 3:24) who simply believes the gospel of the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ,
Romans 3:24-26
KJV
24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
26 To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.
Ephesians 1:13
King James Version
13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
And if you believe the gospel(1 Corinthians 15:1-4 )you are now secured in Christ sealed and have the promise of the Spirit and the gift of eternal Life not appointed to everlasting destruction and
According to the Word of God you can not lose salvation so no hell for the Justified. But it's God who justifies the ungodly you can not justify yourself by being Good enough or performance for example and the Word of God confirms your security everlasting life appointed to heaven with God to the saved
Because God cannot Lie Trust him.
What must I do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved (Acts 16:30-31). Religion tells you to do something, God says his Son did it all, believe on him.
Most people don't understand God's forgiveness is NOT in conflict in justice. Forgiveness is NOT done even though you still deserve hell...with Christ's payment in uou you're NO LONGER deserving of he'll so can can pardon you because you don't deserve to go there any longer.
Try telling that to a dying man that has a few minutes to live. All I,am saying is that we shouldn't make this too complicated but easy to understand that a child can understand and be saved. To tell the truth, and yet God doesn't make the Gospel ( 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 ) the way of salvation hard God wants ALL men to be saved.
Your message is great, but you need to slow down some. You act like you're lawyer in court. Slow down
You do error in this teaching.......Eph 2:8 is stating that Grace and the Faith to Believe, comes from the Powerful working of the Holy Spirit, which was sent to convict men of there sins. One can not be born-again by the works of the will of man, IT all comes from the Father as a Gift through the Holy Spirit, as John teaches us; Joh 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
1:04:42 through the HOLY SPIRIT, which you have evaded throughout this whole teaching. We are Born-Again by the Power working of the Holy Spirit to convict us of our sins, by the opening of our ears to hear, and the eyes to see. HE causes us to believe because HE grants us the Gift to believe, through the faith of Christ towards God. Also in Romans 5, you failed to mention where this "Love" of God comes from, given to us; Rom 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
How do we obtain this Love? By the Holy Spirit, the Fear of God is granted to those who are Born from Above, the Holy Spirit, when HE grants, the GIFT of Repentance unto Salvation according to His Will and Purpose for our lives.
You are in fact teaching a "works" salvation by the will of man to believe. That is not God given Grace according to His Word, His Will and His Purpose. I pray the Lord grant you the Grace to receive the whole truth, His Truth, not according to the Bible University diploma which granted you the permission to teach or be a Pastor. If you are not chosen of the Lord to preach or be a pastor, then your office is not sanctioned by Him, but of your own fleshly heart.
Nowhere in the writings of the Apostle Paul does he say those of us in the Body of Christ are ‘Born Again”. This is because we are a New Creation. You’re attempting to place a term used for Jewish believers of the Little Flock upon us
Repentance is not a work we do to earn salvation. No one can repent and come to God unless God pulls that person to Himself. John 6:44 Repentance is something God gives--it is only possible because of His grace Acts 5:31 11:18. No one can repent unless God grants repentance. All of salvation, including repentance and faith, is a result of God drawing us, opening our eyes, and changing our hearts. God longsuffering leads us to repentance 2 Peter 3:9 as does kindness Romans 2:4.Repentance is not a work that earns salvation but it does produce works as a result of it. To see repentance in real life study Zacchaeus. Luke 19:8
So you are Calvinist? Calvinism's order of Salvation is not found in the Bible its a philosophical idea of men.
@@EDSONHLYCHHO22 Calvin taught scripture and thus got the term Calvinism. All "ism's" are just "ism's". Scripture calls it predestination, Election etc. Man's responsibility is also taught in scripture. You can't toss one scriptural teaching out and and teach the other. Do you have the mind of God?
@@sandramerimee6957
Scripture very clearly tells us that "we have the mind of Christ"
1 Cor 2:16
For “who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
If we are true followers of Christ...we will have the mind of Christ.
@@dimantha12 I agree with this verse and it's interpretation. When it comes to mans responsibility and God's Sovereignty we can't understand how the two run parallel as truths. Scripture doesn't contradict itself.
As stated above God is 100% Sovereign in all matters of man and man is responsible to respond to the call of God through His son Jesus Christ. The reason we are having this conversation is the mere reality that one teaching from scripture is accepted and the other is tossed out and therefore misunderstood.
We have to accept both teachings per scripture as His word and trust in both teachings. Taking in the fact that scripture interprets scripture we have to accept all of his word.
God controls by divine decree and sovereign power everything that goes on in the world according to his own purposes, that does not remove one iota of culpability from those that do evil. Evildoers do evil not because they are forced to, but by their own evil intent. So God will judge them for both the act and the motive, as well as for their failure to give Him glory and to worship Him.
See in Act's 2 during Peter's sermon on the day of Pentecost, he said, "Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know---this man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to the cross by the hands of the godless men and put him to death vv 22-23.
Christ died under His authority, in His timing and according to His plan. And yet Israel was guilty of their hand in His death and for their failure to believe in Him as Messiah.
We can see contrasting truths of divine sovereignty and human responsibility over and over again, in every part of God's word. There's is no inspired explanations that spells out the relationship between these two teachings. We need to be careful in attempting to conform God's divine decrees to our own feeble sense of fairness. We need to remember that it's not our job to hold God to whatever standards our meager minds can reason as fair.
@@sandramerimee6957
You say…The reason we are having this conversation is the mere reality that one teaching from scripture is accepted and the other is tossed out and therefore misunderstood.
My Answer…The reason we are having this conversation is because one teaching from scripture is accepted and the other is taken out of context by ignoring many Scriptures & thus misinterpreted.
You need to take Scripture in context…Instead of picking one verse out of its proper context, you need to heed the WHOLE COUNSEL of Scripture
Acts 10:34,35
34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows NO PARTIALITY. 35 But in every nation whoever fears Him and WORKS RIGHTEOUSNESS is accepted by Him.
Does this sound like…in every nation God will pick whom He pleases?
NO, it says…in every nation WHOEVER fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him…In fact this is the correct understanding of NO PARTIALITY.
Vs 35, How could the spiritually dead work righteousness?
Acts 17:26-30
26 And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, and has determined their preappointed times and the boundaries of their dwellings, 27 so that they should seek the Lord, in the hope that they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;
Its clear people can seek Him and find Him…The Word says, He is not far from each one of us.
Yes of course, God makes the first move, He initialize, He first loved us, God is the first cause of salvation, I fully agree…but man responds out of His free will…God does not blow the flute like the Pied Piper & get men to follow Him…This is not what Sovereignty is.
