    Although we will never be completely sinless not matter what. We were born through sin. The Christian life means to be fighting continuously against sinning be it consciously done or unknowingly done

      Believers are saved by grace but most televangelists are being used by "high" level freemasons and talmudic/kabbalistic jews to get Christians not to do Christ's plan for their lives. (Matthew 7:7 KJV).

    Thank-you. My spirit loves listening to you. You speak so plainly and accurately. No sugar-coating with you. You're actually the one that I listened to when I was first reborn. 6 an a half months ago. You were so convicting I stopped listening to you because I wanted to continue to sin and live by my will. Here lately though things have really been eye-opening. I've realized I have to stop hanging out with one of my friends bc she is living comfortably in sin, which makes me want to sin with her and not care. I haven't been strong enough to say no but that's what I've been working on. I still have a long way to go though. Take care Josh. Thanks again for your teachings.

      JESUS SAVES. - I do not know you but I know this will help you in your walk with the Lord. Not everyone who believes in the Lord God will get into heaven like they want to think. I'm not going to sugar-coat this for you. We are called to live holy lives. Jesus said "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:21-23. Iniquity is SIN. So if you are in any willful sin you must deal with this first and go through the ongoing process of sanctification (becoming holy).
      You must be SAVED. Today is the day of salvation as tomorrow is NEVER promised. "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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10. To be saved you must REPENT from willful sin to be forgiven. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;" Acts 3:19. Repentance is an intentional change or turning away from sin and turning to God; from wanting to sin to not wanting to sin. It is a change of heart in regard to sin. If you truly want to be saved and repent it is because God has laid it on your heart. First you must believe in your heart that Jesus Christ was crucified and died for your sins, that He was buried and God raised him from the dead on the third day and now sits at the right hand of the Father. Secondly, one very important thing you have to remember is that God does NOT want anyone to come to Him who is only HALF-hearted or lukewarm. He does not work that way. "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with ALL YOUR HEART." Jeremiah 29:13.
      "Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death." 2 Corinthians 7:10. You must have a FULLY REPENTANT HEART. So when you are alone just drop to your knees (doesn't have to be your knees, just get your heart low (humble) to God) and take all the time you need to discuss it all over with the Lord on how you have wronged Him, how you wish to know Him and feel so distant from Him. Most of all just admit and CONFESS your every sin under the sun as have total regret in your heart (in tears like a baby) and express your love for the Lord. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9. But this does NOT give us a license to sin.
      Don’t try to hide your sins as He knows them ALL anyway. But He wants you to be humble and put your PRIDE aside and confess them to Him and let Him know how sorry you are. Humble yourself to Him and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Confess ALL of your sins to Him. Ask Him to even forgive you of sins you cannot remember. Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. Pray and cry out to Jesus Christ with all of your heart and wide open soul and ask Him to forgive your sins. He will blot out all of your sins when you REPENT/ TURN from your sins. He will take away your heart of stone (from being “hard hearted toward Him”) and give you a heart of flesh. But you must repent so He can LIVE in your heart again. You must come to the point of HATING SIN because it is what separates us from God. That is why you feel the way you do. But many just love their sin too much to let it go. Breaking free from the bondage of sin is not an event but a process. But Jesus died to atone/ cover your sins and bring you back to God when you Get right and STAY right with Him. Becoming holy (sanctification) is not an event, it is a PROCESS. You will be able to OVERCOME the bondage of sin by the POWER of the Holy Spirit. So pray to the Lord and ask Him for the Holy Spirit which will guide you and convict you of sin on your new walk with the Lord. "So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" Luke 11:13.
      For God to forgive us, we must forgive EVERYONE who has ever hurt us or done wrong to us. "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15. We must forgive and let go of what others have done to us so that we have no bitterness in our hearts. Unresolved bitterness that you carry with you only leads to quickness in getting angry in the future. Forgiveness is not just for them, it is for YOU too... If you haven't done so already, you should work on this when you talk to God in the next couple of days to let Him know WHO you are forgiving and for WHAT. "Let go and let God"... HEAL!
      God wants us to come back to Him as we are no matter how much we have sinned. "I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” Luke 5:32. I am not saying you have to stop ALL sinning right away for Jesus to reveal himself to you spiritually. "Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” “How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?” Jesus answered “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit." John 3:3-6. The Holy Spirit enters when one truly makes the decision to believe on Jesus as their Lord and Savior. But I am saying that God, in His foreknowledge, may not reveal His Son to those whom He knows don't really want to fully turn to Him, but are just testing Him and would end up NOT REPENTING, therefore rejecting Him anyway. In other words, God knows our hearts and if we desire to fully know and receive God, or if we are just testing Him without a repentant heart. When you get the Holy Spirit you will STOP willful sinning gradually. The Holy Spirit will CONVICT you of sin. Some sins (sinful bad habits) will start falling off soon and others will take time for the Lord to reveal those sins to you. Always ask the Lord which sins you need to repent of and He will reveal those to you. You will go thru the process of Sanctification (being made holy by sinning less and less) in your new Christian walk with the Lord. One of Satan's greatest tricks is to excite/ entice us with 'worldly' pursuits and stay busy so that we never have time for God. You must make time for God daily or the devil will get you like he has you now. He has been torturing your mind and keeping you in the bondage of sin. Either you can live determined to sin or you can live determined to live Holy. Either you can rebel against God or you can rebel against sin. This is NOT a quick race, this is a marathon and a lifestyle. YOU MUST NEVER, EVER, EVER GIVE UP. Let God know the areas you are weak or ignorant or still confused and would like his guidance. He will help you, He really will!! Pray to God every day and night for His help in what you need, (not want). Pray for spiritual discernment, understanding, knowledge and wisdom. Ask God what His will is now, not yours. Seek God through Jesus Christ, who is His word. Read your BIBLE daily, start with ALL 4 GOSPELS, to draw closer to God and help you fight the enemy. Make Jesus’ teachings and the New Testament the new standard for your life. "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6. (SEE PART 2 IN THE NEXT COMMENT)

    • @jasont5427
      @jasont5427 Před 6 lety +1

      JESUS SAVES. - PART 2.) Again, since sin is what separates us from God, we must come to the point of hating sin so we do not disappoint the Lord or ourselves, Now or on Judgement Day. The fleeting pleasure of sin is not worth it. The verse "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7 means that OBEDIENCE to God that over time takes the "power" away from demons that tempt you so you can OVERCOME sin. Satan will still tempt you of coarse since that is what he DOES. But as soon as sin comes up in our hearts OR our minds we must defeat it IMMEDIATELY so it does not continue to LINGER AND GROW. When you let it grow it can overcome us and turn into action if we let it. That is how the devil gets in and STAYS IN. And idle time is the devil’s workshop. God always provides a way out of sin, you just have to find the strength 'in the moment' to walk away and just deny yourself of it. "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it." 1 Corinthians 10: 13. If you cannot just walk away, remain strong in Christ through silent prayer. The devil is very subtle and will make you rationalize and justify your sin... so as soon as you catch yourself doing this you must stop or he will win. Knowing this trick of his is KEY to defeating sin every day and you will get better and better at it as the days go by but do not give in for a second. Jesus has commanded us to be holy "Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." 1 Peter 1:16. Sanctification (process of becoming holy) is an ongoing process.
      You have to fight the enemy every day, all day. The fight NOW is better than going to hell where you can't fight your way out. So "resist the devil and he will flee" - you will have peace especially when you get more familiar with God's word - the verses you learn help to reassure you and keep the devil 'at bay' so he stops torturing you and keeping you in willful sin (bad habits). Reading the bible daily helps give us peace “Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.” Proverbs 3:7. This is an ONGOING process and the healthy Fear of the Lord helps us to become sanctified. The devil gets in because he knows your weaknesses and will use them against you. He will not try to go in thru a locked front door (one sin previously conquered), he will sneak around to find a breach... The devil never stops. So you must "Put on the full armor of God." Ephesians 6. Read it.Or you will continue to be miserable until you surrender your life to Christ.
      The devil is never gone for good, NOT YET! Not til we're in heaven. We must fight the enemy every day, all day. The devil TEMPTS us b/c that's what he DOES, even to the most strong Christians. This is the SPIRITUAL WARFARE WE ALL go through. Because when the devil knows you have given your life to Christ he will use FEAR and DOUBT to try and throw you off the narrow path. If you aren't going thru spiritual warfare and fighting temptation then you are NOT SAVED and the devil has you right where he wants you, BLINDED. "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.' James 4:8. You purify you heart by not giving into the temptations of the devil and you stop being "double-minded" by not just professing with your lips but by professing with your actions and not being a double-minded hypocrite saying one thing yet doing another. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9. Read the bible and stay in God's word DAILY to help you stay at peace and put God's word ON YOUR HEART... TO PURIFY IT MORE. This is like the purifying process of gold. It is passed through the fire and heated so the impurities rise to the top so they can be skimmed off. This is an ongoing process until death, but deliverance helps this process become easier. The verse "resist the devil and he will flee" comes from Obedience to God. OBEDIENCE takes the power away from our demons so we can be delivered from them. Pray to God constantly to show you any impurities or dirty spots on your heart and He will reveal those things you need to IMPROVE ON... TO PURIFY IT EVEN FURTHER. We must have a PURE HEART. Purifying your heart is an ongoing process. We must rely on Jesus to help us with this process as we cannot do it on our own. It is by the power of the holy spirit that convicts us, guides us and helps us to stop sinning as we cannot do this on our own.
      Now you just have to remain on the narrow path of repentance until the end. Just ask God constantly which sins to you need to get rid of and He will reveal them to you. He WILL reveal what you need to work on. If stumble, ask God HUMBLY to forgive you and help you to learn from that sin and He will help you. He really will!! But the only one who was perfect was Jesus Christ. So it is a constant process of refinement. But again, this does not give us a license to sin. The Holy Spirit will help and guide you daily. Welcome to your New Christian walk with the Lord!! The Christian walk is not an easy one but it is certainly well worth it in the end. It is all about the journey AND the destination. May the God of all peace bless you abundantly.

    We are in constant attacks of demons that are trying to make us fall again into sin.
    It happened to me and immediately I felt the condemnation. I felt terribly, hypocritically, shamefully and immediately felt the need to repent and pray for God's forgiveness.
    Jesus delivered me again and now I am much stronger in the Lord.
    This taught me discipline and a healthy fear of God.
    We have no excuse for sin and must live the way God's Word demands us.
    God Bless you all!

    The Lord has definitely sent you and chose you to bring more souls into his kingdom, I learned so much from this, and all your other videos. These past 2 weeks I was (not knowingly) being deceived by a pastor on CZcams, quoting scripture itself, but perverting the word and brining me into the knowledge of the false doctrine “Onced saved, always saved without works”. Glory be to God that the Holy Spirit told me not to trust in man and to find the final answer through the word, and surely after I did that, I came across this video. God is so good, and the enemy takes no vacations I tell you that, but he is a liar and a loser that has already been defeated. Keep doing EXACTLY what you’re doing, your videos are definitely inspired by the Holy Spirit! God bless you, and thank you for spreading the TRUTHFUL word of our dearly beloved Lord and savior, Jesus Christ! Amen! ❤️

  • @garyoz1821
    @garyoz1821 Před 6 lety +8

    At 16:03 you begin to explain how people pervert the word of God by trying to do away with that line. There's a passage in the Bible that says that anybody who adds to or takes from God's Word, they will have their name taken from the book of life.
    Christians ought to be very careful here. One of the things God has revealed to me is that this passage not only pertains to men who literally tear pages out of the Bible, or reprint watered down versions of it. But it's also addressing men who take from or add on to God's scripture in their hearts.
    We've got to work out our salvation with fear and trembling, and accept God's word in it's entirety.

      @gldesmarais9356 Před 6 lety +2

      If Hebrews 10:26 applies to Christians, then we’re all in serious trouble. If there “remaineth no more sacrifice for sins” for the believer, then we’re all going to Hell. There’s no such thing as a believer who doesn’t sin. In fact, the Bible defines a “just man” as one who sins repeatedly; but keeps getting back up to live for God… “For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again” (Proverb 26:16). Wicked people don’t even try to live for God, because they have not the Holy Spirit of God (Romans 8:9). Christians, at best, are horrible sinners trying to live right, falling and getting up, falling and getting up, ‘til the Lord returns or takes us home to glory (Romans 7:15-24). All Christians sin every day. If living in sin causes a person to lose salvation, then we're all going to Hell, because we are all dirty, rotten, lousy sinners.

    • @nano.joe.4851
      @nano.joe.4851 Před 6 lety +1

      +gldesmarais935 There's a big difference between WILLFUL sin and accidental sin. A true born again Christian doesn't accidentally fornicate, get drunk, commit adultery, do drugs, etc. If a Christian is doing these things then they were never born again to begin with.

      @gldesmarais9356 Před 6 lety +3

      My friend, you don't even have to sin to be sinful, for you were born in sin with a wicked sin nature. Psalms 51:5, “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.” Everyone has sinned, thousands upon thousands of times throughout life. But even if you think that you've cleaned up your life of sin considerably, and now you sincerely think that you haven't sinned for a long time (which is impossible for anyone), you'd still be a dirty, guilty, rotten, hell-deserving sinner. We aren't sinners because we sin; but rather, we sin because WE ARE SINNERS!!! The big question is, do you have Christ's imputed righteousness?

    No not one will be found Josh brother. We are saved by Grace through Faith. Not works so no man can boast. The Lord has shown me that our sins are paid for on The Cross. HOWEVER, i agree this does not give us free reign to behave as we wish without consequences. The Lord chastens those He loves. He is just. If we continue to sin "habitually" then there is consequence, often it involves even being taken home early. There are rewards IN HEAVEN to be lost for works we can do IF WE are walking IN THE SPIRIT now in our earthly lives. Only by walking in The Spirit can we overcome the desires of The flesh. My experience it was repentance and Jesus that freed me from the bondage of sin as you mentioned. It is continual repentance and reliance on Him that keeps me free. To continue to sin willfully is to mock The Cross. As I love Jesus so much for saving me I now am sensitive to The Spirit convicting me of sin when it is apparent. The closer I am getting to Jesus the more the thought of mocking The cross appauls me in my being. God Bless

      Romans 3:20-25 King James Version (KJV)
      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.
      21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
      22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
      23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
      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;
      1 John 1:6-10 King James Version (KJV)
      6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
      7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
      8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
      9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
      10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
      1 John 2:1-2 King James Version (KJV)
      2 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

    Hay Josh, love you brother, God places His seal in our hearts when we are born again. He makes a deposit within us called the Holy Spirit until our time to return to Him. This is His promise of salvation. Strongholds are repetitive in nature, this the word strongholds. God says in His Word, return backsliders I will remove it, He also says, my faithful will fall and get back up 7 times, while unbelievers will give up. If we were not covered for future sins, how exactly do you explain these verses, how do you explain what price is papa I’d for the other sins since salvation? They must be paid for somehow? It’s a complete work by God. Either we are covered or we are not. Yes we have consequences of sin after salvation, but God can not allow one single sin into heaven, or He is mocking the price of Jesus. So, what does God do about even a single sin after salvation being unacceptable by God under any circumstances. Please help me understand. God says we were already born under sin,, is it possible under your theory, that even you have sinned at least once since salvation, so by your own understanding, you have lost your salvation, so why are you teaching? It doesn’t make sense. Yes we have our investment and participation. But if all sin was not covered, no one would make it. Including you. You have already explained you have lost your salvation. There would be no coverage of any sin after salvation, it’s over. I just don’t see God doing half a job. Either our sin after salvation is covered or none of us including you have salvation.

    Definitely brought some clarity to scripture brother there is this channel called bible4truth or something like that and it was talking about all we have to do is believe and that our lives are hid in christ so when we sin it's not us that sin so it doesn't count. It almost made me think about it for a second too but then of course the other scripture came to me such as if your right eye offends you pluck it out and lest "I preach to you and myself be a castaway" came to my spirit and I commented on the channel. This stuff is so deceiving and it angers me that the devil is leading people astray with this and that people are spreading this false gospel. I've repented and I've been struggling with one sin and also thoughts that God doesn't care about me but I feel like after watching this video I believe that God still cares about me and that I can overcome these sins and follow our lord Jesus christ God bless brother

I was baptized in a bathtub by a follower of Torben Sondergaard and the new reformation. A demon was cast out of me but I'm worried that my repentance was not good enough. They pray for me to have the Baptism of the Holy Spirit but then nothing happenned. I really want to live for God as for now but I fall into sin at least once every 2 weeks. I feel the conviction and I always rededicate my life to seek God, but it just seems like I can't. I don't know what to do..

      the answer is simple, deny yourself. When people don't do that, that's where the problems begin. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us and we will never be tempted above what we can bare. There are no excuses when it comes down to it. Keep seeking God and grow in your fear of him. Don't lose hope, rather resist the devil and he will flee

At 13 I promised God I would stop I still continued. 6 an a half months ago I was delivered. I kept praying and kept trying and kept repenting and finally i denied myself. And then again. And then I had no desire to masturbate. I do get horny but I have learned self-control. Don't give up. Masturbation is so selfish. It ruined my relationships with ppl especially intimately with guys.(Now I'm celibate) I had a lot of guilt and shame, but it's all gone thanks to God. You got this.

    Josh Cohen, can you make a video about the believer that has started their journey in Christ , but fell into confusion, frustration , and agony bc they where being discipled by a lukewarm believer in a lukewarm Church w possibly a false prophet as pastor. This new believer in Christ Jesus was doing well and then every time he/ she is about to stand stronger in truth and Christ , something / ppl come and try to steal , confuse , and tries to question their faith. Then this believer falls into agony , trips into almost believing these lies, starting to almost fall into the schemes of believing that their faith was not real in the first place. And yes, even committing a sin that was already overcome bc they are almost believing the lies that they were not saved or that they don't have enough knowledge/faith , ect...will you please make a video on this topic? This can really help most of us , especially in the times we are living in.... thank you and God bless you and your wife.

    Great lesson, I wish we would all believe this!
    13 He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper,
    But whoever confesses and turns away from his sins will find compassion and mercy.
    14 Blessed and favored by God is the man who fears [sin and its consequence] at all times,
    But he who hardens his heart [and is determined to sin] will fall into disaster.
    And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.
    5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
    6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:
    7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
    8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
    9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
    10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
    My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:
    2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

There's many more commandments telling us to submit ourselves, deny ourselves, turn from sin, trust in the lord, Etc. I believe its common sense that if we're not giving our all do we even deserve Gods mercy? He's done a lot more for us than we could ever do for him, he deserves more than our all. It's one of those things You realize reading the Bible. Was Paul giving it his all? Or the other apostles who have their lives for Christ? Or better yet Christ alone, he gave it all for us, the least we can do is do our absolute best with his help for Him.. You must be all in giving it you're best working out your salvation with fear and trembling. I know when I fear something I do my best to get it right, hopefully that was understandable!

    • @jesusissavior8656
      @jesusissavior8656 Před 6 lety +6

      Does not the Bible teach that salvation is a FREE GIFT, paid for in full by the shed blood of Jesus Christ? Yes, it most certainly does. "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." -Romans 5:18. Eternal life is a FREE GIFT. Now it doesn't take a Ph.D. ("post-hole digger" in case you didn't know) to figure out that a free gift is no gift at all if you have to "give your all." Jesus came to this earth to pay a debt that He did not owe because we owed a debt that we could not pay. Salvation is free to us because it cost Jesus His all. We DON'T have to give anything (let alone our "all") to be saved because Jesus paid the price! If salvation REQUIRED us to give anything, then it surely would be no gift. We must be very careful when we interpret the Scriptures that we don't get away from "the simplicity that is in Christ." The gospel is an easy gospel.

    • @gldesmarais9356
      @gldesmarais9356 Před 6 lety

      Deadly Beauty - Biblical salvation is a free gift which is freely received WITHOUT WORKS. Romans 4:5, “But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.” That means there may never be any outward works, but if there is inner faith, there is salvation. To teach otherwise is to place a stipulation upon the free gift of God. Please make sure you're really saved.

    @shaunwilliams2312 Před 5 lety

    I can appreciate people who teach not to look at grace as a loop hole to sin but at the same time you remove grace. It is biblical that past present and future sins are forgiven. Why? Because what was never meant to justify any flesh, according to the bible is the law, is removed to all who believe. It was a schoolmaster to point us to needing a saviour, that being Christ. If maintaining salvation is reliant upon our works, we all are doomed. The apostle Paul still had his struggles as a believer. The church in corinth were doing very wicked things, and yet we see Paul still referred to them as brethren and admonished them for their actions. If your salvation is tied in any way to your works Paul says it's not a gift of everlasting life but now it's a debt owed to you. If it's of works it's no longer grace. If it's of grace it's no longer works says Paul. Remember their is still a war that wages in us between the old man and the inward man (that being the Holy Spirit). I commend you for teaching grace not to be a license for sinning but please do not remove grace from the equation either. Where sin abounds grace much more abounds. And the law was nailed to the tree with Jesus. God bless

"And he [Abraham] believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness" (Genesis 15:6). Won't you come to Jesus now to receive the forgiveness of sins? You can be saved right now, simply by coming to the cross as a guilty sinner, and placing your faith in the blood of Jesus Christ to wash away your sins and save you (1st Peter 1:18,19).

    Or is it Eternal Salvation granted at the time of Spiritual conception (Grace through faith in the death, burial and resurrection of the Messiah) and the Master instructs us to "sin no more" because sin even though cant touch the Spirit of God within man or woman, it can still cause his physical death?

    Josh Coen we know we are commanded not to sin, from Genesis to revelation...We know that the old man or outer man is perishing or dead in sin and trespasses... And we know that the which is born of the flesh, is flesh...My question is, can the inner man sin ? Can that which is born of the Spirit sin ? Is the new man in Christ, born of God, without sin ? I'm asking this question because the apostle Paul handed a brother to satan for the destruction of the flesh for fornication, so that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord... Paul delivered a few more to satan for blashemeny...If we sin, we know we have an advocate... And if we say, we have no sin, we know we are liars, and the truth is not in us...We are commanded to walk in the Spirit, so we can do the things of God.

    And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
    Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
    And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
    Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
    Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
    He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
    Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

    Btw, Romans 3 isn't taking about an individual's past sins - but about the corporate sins of mankind that had been overlooked in a sense by God - who was showing mercy to people - but now through Jesus death God can show mercy on the basis of his sacrifice. What is the alternative to not being forgiven of future sins? Can it ever be said that a Christian is unforgiven? By definition, an unforgiven person is not saved!

    Romans 6:1
    What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
    5 For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we will certainly also be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with,[a] that we should no longer be slaves to sin- 7 because anyone who has died has been set free from sin.

    I will answer by another question, Can our Salvation in Jesus-Christ can be lost?
    No if we stay in Jesus-Christ, in the Grace of God, it is impossible.
    But if you go OUT of Jesus-Christ, believing your sins are always forgiven and you begin to live a foulness life, believing you are again in the grace of God, Jesus-Christ, you are on the way of perdition, and at the final judgment of God, Jesus will say to you, i don't know you, go in the fire of hell....
    Your sins are forgiven in Jesus-Christ when:
    1.First, when you recognize, that a wicked power lives in your body and soul, and you are unclean and dirty because of this power of sin, under the eyes of the Holy One.
    2.You cry out to God, and say to the Lord Jesus come to wash you in his Holy Blood and forgive you and save you.
    3.And ask God to prepare you to be a man or woman of war EVERY DAY, to fight against all the power of sins in your soul and body, deamons, and darkness all the rest of your life on this earth.
    Because repentance is not only ask God to forgive our sins and believe in the heart, it is AT THE SAME TIME to go in WAR against all kind of evil and demoniacs powers, whom will do everything to make you captive to sin.
    That is how to stay in the Grace of God, because The Lord Jesus Christ didn't came on earth to approve and excuse sin, he came to separate the sinner of his sins, The Lord came to the cross for that, to offer his Holy Life and Blood in sacrifice, to set our life free of the power of darkness.
    That is how sin has no place in the grace of God, but the sinner who want to be free of his sins, the Lord will give him power and control over them by the power of the Holy Ghost, but he will fight against them, by love for his Lord, and by hate for the power of darkness, all his life on this earth.
    To fight against all the power of darkness everyday, it is also to say yes to Jesus-Christ and the Salvation he gave to all people that came to him to be forgiven, and accept him as Lord and Saviour.
    You stay saved by the Lord Jesus-Christ when you say to Jesus, yes everyday, yes i accept you my Lord and i will fight today, and tomorrow, and tomorrow again, and you don't stop, you can fall in sin, but you don't stay in sin, you can be captive of sin, but you will do everything to break this power of sin by the power of the Holy Ghost, and beat back it.
    Yes you stay saved if you stay in the Holy fight for the Lord and for your life, but you are in danger if you have stopped to fight against the army of darkness, and you are in danger if you say darkness can do nothing against you, without doing anything against them.
    You stay under the blood of Jesus if you resist to the devil, but if you open the door to him are you again under the blood of Jesus?
    God bless all brothers and sisters in Jesus Mighty Name.

  • @LittleRichard1988
    @LittleRichard1988 Před 10 měsíci

    The answer is yes, you are saved the very nanosecond you believe on Christ for salvation. Being a Christian and being a desciple are 2 different things,
    descipleship doesn't come as part of the salvation package. Now after we are saved we certainly should become desciples to earn rewards and so we
    don't suffer the consiquence of reaping and sowing for example if you fornicate you could either get or transmit an STF, if you steal you will be prosecuted,
    if your a glutton you get fat and it can seriously impact your health, if you smoke you will get cancer. Even though how you live has nothing to do with your
    salvation it can have serious consiquence on your health and result in you being taken home early and once you dead it's too late to become a desciple.
    The bible also teaches if you live in wild sin or remain fruitless you can lose all your rewards, your privilige to reign with Christ for 1000 years and you can
    also lose all your crowns and also if you pas somebody by without giving them the gospel and they die unsaved you have their blood on your hands.
    So sinning flippantly is still quite serious and no saved person is going to get away with it which is why there are 2 seperate judgements, the final great white throne
    judgement for the lost and the judgement seat of Christ for the saved to determine weather or not they rewards, positions in Heaven or crowns. But
    adding works to the gospel is damnable heresy and won't save anybody you must trust alone for your salvation. Also if your using any bible other than
    an authorized KJV ( King James Version ) like the NIV, NLT, ESV, NKJV then throw your modern bible perversion in the trash, shread or it burn it! and get
    you an Authorized King James Version and I suggest you start with the book of John and learn to rightly devide scripture.

  • @dallben7S
    @dallben7S Před 6 lety

    Those that love to just sin all the time, were never changed. It's simple. But Christians can still sin. but of course its always a free will choice, God never forces us to worship him, but we must choose to allow God's love and holiness through the Holy Spirit/faith in Jesus of course. It's a life-long process, we must die to self daily. However true Christians are new creatures in Christ, in Spirit only, not in soul, body or even mind. We have to renew the mind daily to activate and walk in the Spirit on a constant basis. The Bible does say we are Eternally redeemed though, so that does technically mean future tense. The unrighteousness Jesus talks about is those that continue to live in sin of course, but as a Christian as a righteous man/woman we should hate sin, but our soul, mind and body were never saved so they're in the process of being renewed. God is never going to just leave us if we sin and do not repent, but again if we're saved there is a genuine change and have been sealed by the Holy Spirit, anyway so it's really a black and white case here. Why would anyone who is truly changed through the Holy Spirit indwelling them just go live in unrighteousness purposely? Then they were never saved to begin with. It's the love of God that changes a person and relationship with Him, not religion or doctrines. We are His children and he does correct us if we are in true fellowship and love Him with all our heart, mind soul, body. I don't believe you lose your Salvation through sin if you're truly saved, because then you have to realize sin isn't just what you do, but what you do not do as well and we all miss the mark at some point or another so being His children He is the only one who knows who is His and who is just living for the world. We should be married to Christ, and it's all about relationship, not just the do's and don'ts but if someone truly believes something, there's always corresponding action that follows, doesn't matter what it is that is being believed. There's also stronghold's as well Christians can deal with, but that is another matter....

  • @jeremybenson5782
    @jeremybenson5782 Před 5 lety

    I'm not sure you're right about this one either. I get accused of easy beleivism, but it's just factual. You have to live by the word God speaks to you. The bible is an amazing book, and is very correct, even 90% ballpark, but it's never going to be perfect. Jesus clearly changed some law, you have to look at what he said, and how Paul endorses no longer being bound by Judaic practices.
    Anyway, to my other on topic points:
    Collosians 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;
    - Some say only sins accumulated to that point of repentance, but it really depends if eternal ordinances are included.
    Colossians 2:13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
    - Some say this means trespasses up to the point of repentance, but it depends if it means all trespasses period.
    We can get a little more specific:
    Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.
    - His one offering has sanctified "for ever" them that are sanctified [proclaimed holy by faith.] So that tells me forever, as in eternal.
    Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
    - This verse tells me someone that doesn't do his will, and has worldly behavior [common CZcams], but God has spoke for them, they will be saved.
    1 Corinthians 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
    - This verse tells me that a man can be saved with no redeemable work, if it's God's will. All the works have burned, yet he himself is saved.
    And we can look at the words of Jesus, which is most important here.
    John 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
    "He that heareth my word."
    - EI, those I speak for, WILL be saved. This is where things get tricky. Lots of preachers point the finger at what types of Christians do and don't have the "real" word of God, and no one wants to listen to another. There are going to be plenty of people saved from various places that there will be surprises for all. Things are most tricky for false religions, false gospels, false Christian sects. All of them are lost by majority, but we have to be careful teaching that masturbating Christians are going to hell, or someone who doesn't teach the gospel on CZcams.. This is God's job, not ours. We just share the gospel, and word of Jesus. He will decide who he speaking to about salvation.

      it does lead to early death, your soul will be saved but your works burnt up from continuing to sin. I ve seen this just lately. Boys who were saved at Bible Camp when children, continued in sin and died early. 50, 65, 67, 63, those are early deaths compared to 95 or 98.

    Adam and Eve committed one sin, and God banished them from the Garden of Eden, is this not true? By your reasoning if you commit one sin in the future, and the blood of Jesus does not cover it (since you do not believe His blood paid for past, present, and future) you will go to Hell. Seems to me you do not believe that Jesus died in your place as a true Substitute. You do not seem to know what regeneration means, a regenerate person is truly saved of past , present, and future sins, yet since the Holy Spirit indwells them they are empowered to resist sinning, they have a new nature. You are confusing justification with sanctifiation.

    • @IntactInChrist
      @IntactInChrist  Před 6 lety +2

      Your twisting what I said. As far as Adam and eve goes that should only be a further example at how serious God is about rebellion. I believe his blood is sufficient to cleanse us from all sin, but as Hebrews 10: 29 says Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? 3 verses earlier it's warning us about returning to habitual willful sin which we are delivered from when we are born again. Jesus did not die for people to live unto themselves, that's what you don't seem to understand. Your imposing things into the scripture that aren't there. 'Past sins', 'old sins', 'former conversation', ' things that are Past', 'putting off the old man' etc. Are there, but 'future sins' is not. Your accusing me of confusing justification and sanctification while at the same time reiterating things I already said in the video. The irony.

      I believe the people mentioned in Hebrews 10:29 are not actually saved people, yet I am sure they think they are. The way you preach will make professing Christians who make a practice of sinning believe they can somehow earn their salvation or maintain their salvation, when in reality these people are not actually saved - you are encouraging these people to look to themselves for salvation, when you should be pointing them to Jesus. What is your definition of justification? What is it based on? Can a person be justified before God, then later loose that justification?

      Urban Ninja CH - I do not know you but I know this will help you in your walk with the Lord. Not everyone who believes in the Lord God will get into heaven like they want to think. I'm not going to sugar-coat this for you. We are called to live holy lives. Jesus said "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Matthew 7:21-23. Iniquity is SIN. So if you are in any willful sin you must deal with this first and go through the ongoing process of sanctification (becoming holy).
      You must be SAVED. Today is the day of salvation as tomorrow is NEVER promised. "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. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10. To be saved you must REPENT from willful sin to be forgiven. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;" Acts 3:19. Repentance is an intentional change or turning away from sin and turning to God; from wanting to sin to not wanting to sin. It is a change of heart in regard to sin. If you truly want to be saved and repent it is because God has laid it on your heart. First you must believe in your heart that Jesus Christ was crucified and died for your sins, that He was buried and God raised him from the dead on the third day and now sits at the right hand of the Father. Secondly, one very important thing you have to remember is that God does NOT want anyone to come to Him who is only HALF-hearted or lukewarm. He does not work that way. "You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with ALL YOUR HEART." Jeremiah 29:13.
      "Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation without regret, but worldly sorrow brings death." 2 Corinthians 7:10. You must have a FULLY REPENTANT HEART. So when you are alone just drop to your knees (doesn't have to be your knees, just get your heart low (humble) to God) and take all the time you need to discuss it all over with the Lord on how you have wronged Him, how you wish to know Him and feel so distant from Him. Most of all just admit and CONFESS your every sin under the sun as have total regret in your heart (in tears like a baby) and express your love for the Lord. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9. But this does NOT give us a license to sin.
      Don’t try to hide your sins as He knows them ALL anyway. But He wants you to be humble and put your PRIDE aside and confess them to Him and let Him know how sorry you are. Humble yourself to Him and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Confess ALL of your sins to Him. Ask Him to even forgive you of sins you cannot remember. Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. Pray and cry out to Jesus Christ with all of your heart and wide open soul and ask Him to forgive your sins. He will blot out all of your sins when you REPENT/ TURN from your sins. He will take away your heart of stone (from being “hard hearted toward Him”) and give you a heart of flesh. But you must repent so He can LIVE in your heart again. You must come to the point of HATING SIN because it is what separates us from God. That is why you feel the way you do. But many just love their sin too much to let it go. Breaking free from the bondage of sin is not an event but a process. But Jesus died to atone/ cover your sins and bring you back to God when you Get right and STAY right with Him. Becoming holy (sanctification) is not an event, it is a PROCESS. You will be able to OVERCOME the bondage of sin by the POWER of the Holy Spirit. So pray to the Lord and ask Him for the Holy Spirit which will guide you and convict you of sin on your new walk with the Lord. "So if you who are evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" Luke 11:13.
      For God to forgive us, we must forgive EVERYONE who has ever hurt us or done wrong to us. "For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses." Matthew 6:14-15. We must forgive and let go of what others have done to us so that we have no bitterness in our hearts. Unresolved bitterness that you carry with you only leads to quickness in getting angry in the future. Forgiveness is not just for them, it is for YOU too... If you haven't done so already, you should work on this when you talk to God in the next couple of days to let Him know WHO you are forgiving and for WHAT. "Let go and let God"... HEAL!
      God wants us to come back to Him as we are no matter how much we have sinned. "I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” Luke 5:32. I am not saying you have to stop ALL sinning right away for Jesus to reveal himself to you spiritually. "Jesus replied, “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is born again.” “How can a man be born when he is old?” Nicodemus asked. “Can he enter his mother’s womb a second time to be born?” Jesus answered “Truly, truly, I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. Flesh is born of flesh, but spirit is born of the Spirit." John 3:3-6. The Holy Spirit enters when one truly makes the decision to believe on Jesus as their Lord and Savior. But I am saying that God, in His foreknowledge, may not reveal His Son to those whom He knows don't really want to fully turn to Him, but are just testing Him and would end up NOT REPENTING, therefore rejecting Him anyway. In other words, God knows our hearts and if we desire to fully know and receive God, or if we are just testing Him without a repentant heart. When you get the Holy Spirit you will STOP willful sinning gradually. The Holy Spirit will CONVICT you of sin. Some sins (sinful bad habits) will start falling off soon and others will take time for the Lord to reveal those sins to you. Always ask the Lord which sins you need to repent of and He will reveal those to you. You will go thru the process of Sanctification (being made holy by sinning less and less) in your new Christian walk with the Lord. One of Satan's greatest tricks is to excite/ entice us with 'worldly' pursuits and stay busy so that we never have time for God. You must make time for God daily or the devil will get you like he has you now. He has been torturing your mind and keeping you in the bondage of sin. Either you can live determined to sin or you can live determined to live Holy. Either you can rebel against God or you can rebel against sin. This is NOT a quick race, this is a marathon and a lifestyle. YOU MUST NEVER, EVER, EVER GIVE UP. Let God know the areas you are weak or ignorant or still confused and would like his guidance. He will help you, He really will!! Pray to God every day and night for His help in what you need, (not want). Pray for spiritual discernment, understanding, knowledge and wisdom. Ask God what His will is now, not yours. Seek God through Jesus Christ, who is His word. Read your BIBLE daily, start with ALL 4 GOSPELS, to draw closer to God and help you fight the enemy. Make Jesus’ teachings and the New Testament the new standard for your life. "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6. (SEE PART 2 IN THE NEXT COMMENT).

      Urban Ninja CH - Again, since sin is what separates us from God, we must come to the point of hating sin so we do not disappoint the Lord or ourselves, Now or on Judgement Day. The fleeting pleasure of sin is not worth it. The verse "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7 means that OBEDIENCE to God that over time takes the "power" away from demons that tempt you so you can OVERCOME sin. Satan will still tempt you of coarse since that is what he DOES. But as soon as sin comes up in our hearts OR our minds we must defeat it IMMEDIATELY so it does not continue to LINGER AND GROW. When you let it grow it can overcome us and turn into action if we let it. That is how the devil gets in and STAYS IN. And idle time is the devil’s workshop. God always provides a way out of sin, you just have to find the strength 'in the moment' to walk away and just deny yourself of it. "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide an escape, so that you can stand up under it." 1 Corinthians 10: 13. If you cannot just walk away, remain strong in Christ through silent prayer. The devil is very subtle and will make you rationalize and justify your sin... so as soon as you catch yourself doing this you must stop or he will win. Knowing this trick of his is KEY to defeating sin every day and you will get better and better at it as the days go by but do not give in for a second. Jesus has commanded us to be holy "Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." 1 Peter 1:16. Sanctification (process of becoming holy) is an ongoing process.
      You have to fight the enemy every day, all day. The fight NOW is better than going to hell where you can't fight your way out. So "resist the devil and he will flee" - you will have peace especially when you get more familiar with God's word - the verses you learn help to reassure you and keep the devil 'at bay' so he stops torturing you and keeping you in willful sin (bad habits). Reading the bible daily helps give us peace “Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.” Proverbs 3:7. This is an ONGOING process and the healthy Fear of the Lord helps us to become sanctified. The devil gets in because he knows your weaknesses and will use them against you. He will not try to go in thru a locked front door (one sin previously conquered), he will sneak around to find a breach... The devil never stops. So you must "Put on the full armor of God." Ephesians 6. Read it.Or you will continue to be miserable until you surrender your life to Christ.
      The devil is never gone for good, NOT YET! Not til we're in heaven. We must fight the enemy every day, all day. The devil TEMPTS us b/c that's what he DOES, even to the most strong Christians. This is the SPIRITUAL WARFARE WE ALL go through. Because when the devil knows you have given your life to Christ he will use FEAR and DOUBT to try and throw you off the narrow path. If you aren't going thru spiritual warfare and fighting temptation then you are NOT SAVED and the devil has you right where he wants you, BLINDED. "Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.' James 4:8. You purify you heart by not giving into the temptations of the devil and you stop being "double-minded" by not just professing with your lips but by professing with your actions and not being a double-minded hypocrite saying one thing yet doing another. "The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?" Jeremiah 17:9. Read the bible and stay in God's word DAILY to help you stay at peace and put God's word ON YOUR HEART... TO PURIFY IT MORE. This is like the purifying process of gold. It is passed through the fire and heated so the impurities rise to the top so they can be skimmed off. This is an ongoing process until death, but deliverance helps this process become easier. The verse "resist the devil and he will flee" comes from Obedience to God. OBEDIENCE takes the power away from our demons so we can be delivered from them. Pray to God constantly to show you any impurities or dirty spots on your heart and He will reveal those things you need to IMPROVE ON... TO PURIFY IT EVEN FURTHER. We must have a PURE HEART. Purifying your heart is an ongoing process. We must rely on Jesus to help us with this process as we cannot do it on our own. It is by the power of the holy spirit that convicts us, guides us and helps us to stop sinning as we cannot do this on our own.
      Now you just have to remain on the narrow path of repentance until the end. Just ask God constantly which sins to you need to get rid of and He will reveal them to you. He WILL reveal what you need to work on. If stumble, ask God HUMBLY to forgive you and help you to learn from that sin and He will help you. He really will!! But the only one who was perfect was Jesus Christ. So it is a constant process of refinement. But again, this does not give us a license to sin. The Holy Spirit will help and guide you daily. Welcome to your New Christian walk with the Lord!! The Christian walk is not an easy one but it is certainly well worth it in the end. It is all about the journey AND the destination. May the God of all peace bless you abundantly.
