PeaceInHumility God may feel absent right now, but we always need to seek him. I have felt far from salvation at times in my walk with Christ, but it is God who redeems us and not our own works. I urge you now to delete all types of social media that influence you in an ungodly way, to stop reading those fantasy novels, to block pornography and like and follow things like Fight The New Drug on Facebook. Join a church and try to be vulnerable with a pastor and find support. God says he forgives all sins except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Read the Bible consistently. It will not come easy. But when other Christians are behind you in support you will be healed. As a child I had a demon in my home that focused on me, only because of the constant prayer of my parents Christian friends did it leave. I still have night terrors that are but an echo of that time, but the demon itself is gone. This message you have written makes it seem like you have given up, I urge you not to.

@@preluder4 Hi, I'm wondering if it would be better if you went to a mature Christian for deliverance prayer. I seriously think you need to get this sorted..to persevere because God loves you and it's obvious he's doing a great work in your life and healings. You are not alone..many of us are struggling with all sorts of things. Do you know why? Because THE TIME IS SHORT..and he's wanting to clean us up..Jesus is coming soon!! God will forgive you if you ask him and he wants you to repent and you want to repent. He will forgive you for communicating with succubus if you will turn away from this. Also, you need to repent of anything of the occult..even horoscopes..because as you know it's dangerous to open yourself up to anything other than God's precious, loving Spirit. You need to renounce the occult and have nothing to do with it and I sincerely hope n pray you will seek someone out to walk with you in this. We don't have to put up with these things because we are blood bought sons n daughters of the Most High. Jesus died for you..he loves you n I believe he wants to do a deep work of healing in you. You mustn't give up and need to stop thinking and talking as if you've resigned yourself to hell. Jesus died for you to be with him and HE'S who you're gonna be with!!

John 15:5 And not only that, your statement totally goes against what Jesus said to all whom the Father gave Him (every born again believer) that Jesus will never leave us or forsake us. This is in love brother but what you are telling are brother Andrew just doesn't line up with The Word of God.

As long as your alive Jesus hears you. Hell is a place of full of regret.

I needed to hear this... I am truly a believer in Jesus Christ, but in recent months I have given myself to the pleasures of the world. I am currently living in Europe and don’t have a lot of strong believers around me to hold me accountable. I have still heard the conviction from the Holy Spirit in my heart, but I have continued to live in sin and I’ll be honest that conviction has grown dimmer and dimmer. However, listening to this video has been a bit of a wake up call. I don’t believe that I have lost my salvation, I love the lord. But the more we knowingly live in sin the harder it becomes to hear from the lord and in return brings doubt into our minds (and for good reason) I think the biggest issue for many western believers is facing up to the harsh reality that being a Christian is not easy, especially when your outside of your bubble of fellow believers and daily routine. I would say that the biggest reassurance in regard to my salvation is the feeling of the spirit I receive when I am in a true place of worship and fellowship. I found a great church that preaches the word of God from the text without twisting it to fit societies standards, which is a massive blunder that many churches are engaging in these days. When the worship began and the preacher spoke I felt an overwhelming presence of love and joy that one can only feel if they know Jesus. I believe i felt this so heavily because I had been outside of a Christian setting for a few months at that point. What I’ve been neglecting to realize as of late is that JESUS CHRIST is ALWAYS seeking us out and will NEVER forsake those who truly love him. If anyone makes it this far down correct me if I’m wrong. Thank you.

Mystic Mac Thank you for sharing, I would like to share what gives me confidence in Christ. The sacrifice that Christ made was and is unfathomable by our finite minds..this sacrifice created salvation which is given freely to those who ask for it. Therefore, salvation can only be lost if God takes it back and not by our sinful actions because it was not given because of good actions. Final point- God continues to bring us to perfect holiness all throughout our walk with him and that will involve stumbling every now and then but its a journey, heck for some it even involves denouncing Christ...but the love of God is so great such that He is always reaching out somehow to bring us back. He has never left you and He loves you very much even right now. God bless you and I hope you find some great brethren soon to fellowship with.

Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore Brethren by the mercies of God that you present your body a Living Sacrifice which is your reasonable form of worship. I've been saved since 19 74. And the road has been Rocky. But the holy spirit is always been there to lead and guide me into all truth. Sometimes when we're backslidden hardness comes over our heart. But hold on to the fact that God loves you and he never leaves you or forsake you. Sometimes when you continue in sin you allow the enemy to destroy your life. I was pretty much felt like I was going to die I was so gone then the Holy Spirit came with the message of God's love and grace into my room and I repented and came back to the Lord. Now if my heart and my mind isn't stayed on him I do not feel right. For me I find the best Warfare is in good solid Christian worship music. I recommend Don Moen on KZread as a good place to start especially his live stuff. And there's a lot of good classic contemporary Christian music from the 80s that will cheer you up also.

On the topic of loosing salvation. I've heard both sides. I've struggled with porn for 8 years. I just got delivered. I felt the need to fast and study the Word twice a day and to pray. There were times where I felt God had left me but I had faith. I was able to realize the horror of my deed and repent not just for the sin but for hurting God. God is our adopted Father through Christ. We need to fall down before Him with Jesus Christ as our intercessor. We must confess everything. We must plead with Him for grace knowing we don't deserve it. When a Christian sins they are offending God. They have become prodigal sons, but if they repent and turn from the sin they are immediately restored. When I mean repent tell Him everything even our motives. Agree with Him on everything. We sinned. We hurt our adopted Father. We are unworthy children. God we surrender. Take us back abba Father. Restore us. We can't live without you. Please Jesus our saviour restore our fellowship with you. We can't be without you. Refresh us with your Holy Spirit and take us back. Wash us in the blood and make us whole.

I completely agree with what you said including the attitude to have in a prayer of repentance. But the danger is that many preachers will not make the case for repentance as you have made it. They just want to "sell" a "you cannot lose your salvation" deal even while people are in the pig pen of sin. But the prodigal son had a moment where he came to his senses and returned to his father. He left the pig pen behind along with the mindset that got him there in the first place, being away from his father and enjoying the pleasures of the world (sin) for a season. If we can hear Jesus and abide in Him and understand the consequences of not abiding in Him, then we have all the understanding we need: _John 15:4-6_ _4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. 6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, they are thrown into the fire, and they are burned._ God be praised that you returned to Him, bro!

@@Over-for-now That's what preachers say, but it's not what your Bible says. The message to sinners is "Repent or perish" (Luke 13:3). There is no special plan for people who just won't truly repent. There is no weak or strong repentance. You can't speak of repentance like that, at least not the repentance the Bible speaks of. It's either you will repent and be saved or you won't. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise as some understand slowness, but is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish but everyone to come to repentance. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. perish = not get saved It's critical that you understand repentance like the Bible teaches it and that you repent and commit to stay obedient to God out of love. That's a path you will walk on. If you leave that path, then there is no "Once Saved Always Saved" either. You have to remain faithful to God to the end. Colossians 1:21-23 21 And you, who once were alienated and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now✷ reconciled in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you holy and blameless and above reproach before him, 23 👉 IF indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed in all creation under heaven... ✷ now means no longer being alienated and hostile in mind toward God and continuing to do evil deeds / sin.

When you start to believe sin will fall off you through the Spirit, but as long as you focus on yourself and not Jesus and GRACE you will sin. I advise listing to Gospel of Grace preachers like Joseph Prince and not these people who mix works into the Gospel. Repent which means change your mind and view God as loving Father! What Father tosses out His own Son never allowing Him back into the house? NO ONE!

Believe that He accomplished it all personally for you. He has taken all of your sin and giving you his righteousness! And if you actually believe that he seals you with his holy spirit which is a guarantee or promise that later on you will receive a body of Glory without a sin nature. you are saved by grace not by keeping the law for the law is the strength of sin. If you rely on the grace the gift that you could not deserve ever... Then the power of sin over you starts to diminish and out of just sheer gratitude and all of him being within you doing the work in you the temptations do become weaker.

Day by day pray for the Holy Spirit to guide your heart and mind. Walk by the spirit And you won’t satisfy the desires of the flesh. Flesh= Sin Spirit= Holy

@@7ren10 that’s not what the willful sinning verse (Hebrews 10:26) means. If you read in complete context (the whole chapter) and ask for wisdom you will see that it’s actually talking about people who go away from the sacrifice of Jesus. It’s for people who basically go back after hearing the knowledge of truth (that Jesus died for our sins, was buried and rose again in the third day.) only His blood cleanses us from all unrighteousness. Only He is the sacrifice that can take away our sins, not animals sacrifices or anything else. That’s why there is no more sacrifice remaining for them because only the Lord Jesus is. They insult the Spirit of grace. We aren’t disciplined in order to become a son. It’s because we are a son that we are disciplined. We received the Holy spirit by the hearing of faith and believing in the gospel right? (The gospel is stated in 1 corinthians 15 1-4) So then how can we lose our salvation or the Holy Spirit by anything else we do if we never received it by anything other than believing the gospel? “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain. He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. 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. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭3:1-14, 22, 24-26‬ ‭ “For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works, Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin. Cometh this blessedness then upon the circumcision only, or upon the uncircumcision also? for we say that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteousness.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4:3-9‬ ‭ “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus. 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 ‭2:4-9‬ ‭ “And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully persuaded that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭4:19-25‬ ‭ “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, Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭1:13-14‬ ‭ “And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby YE ARE SEALED unto the day of redemption.” ‭‭ what is the gospel?: “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:” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:1-4‬ ‭ It’s great to pray for help to turn from sin and to be lead by the Holy Spirit our of your love for Jesus, however it’s important to know you are not saved that way. It’s important to believe in the gospel for your salvation: how the Lord Jesus died for your sins, was buried and rose again on the third day. There’s only one gospel and one way to be saved. Only Jesus saves. You are already forgiven and have passed from death into life. The blood of Jesus is the atonement for your sins and we are cleansed from all unrighteousness by the blood of Jesus. We are saints to God and we are His children. Thank you if you actually read all of this. Jesus loves you! Make sure to ask Him for confirmation in all of this. :) 💗

@Captain Killmonger looks like Calvinism has you hook,line and sinker my friend. You've listed a bunch of false dichotomies regarding salvation. It's not as simple as you've presented it. As you might have guessed I'm not a Calvinist, but guess what I don't believe works save me! Funny thought right? My point is no one I know believes they are working their way to heaven. However does that exclude us from any responsibility whatsoever? And if you say yes does scripture verify this? And let's not twist the scripture to fit our narrative on this topic. One example, Paul said let us walk worthy of the vocation wherewith we are called. I won't list all of them because I'm sure you've seen those glaring scripture that fly in the face of the faith plus nothing narrative. When we accept Jesus are we automatically fixed into God and then therefore unable to resist his grace? Is it because he, from the foundation of the world decided that I would make it and therefore no matter my feeling he will make it happen? What about others who aren't so lucky? Are they damned to hell because they weren't chosen from the foundation of the world to make it? Could they ever desire to? Are we able to recognize our need of a Savior inherently or does God first have to choose us?

Otherwise the cross was a complete waste of time He will take it away at the right time he has appointed.

I have been through a longish period where I just seemed to morally lose my way in life although, despite my sins, perhaps paradoxically, I never lost my sense that God remained faithful to me and perhaps like the parable of the lost son, there came the time that I turned to walk home and cried out to God through His Holy Spirit to help me in repentance and to change the circumstances of my life toward holiness and a righteous path to walk. I am a work in progress but I know that God loves me and Jesus is walking with me at my side every day. I want to be in Heaven, knowing how unworthy I am, and I pray Jesus will take me into his arms on that day. I pray that He will not say to me, 'depart from me for I never knew you'. I desperately want Jesus to know me and me to know Him. I pray that my salvation is secure.

Romans 8:1-2 1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, *who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.* 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me *free from the law of sin and death.*

You cannot lose your salvation. Once saved always saved. Your flesh can get outta hand though. You're not under the law. You could theoretically fall away and live like Hitler...but you're still saved and forgiven. You're saved by grace. It's a free gift. You can't earn it or lose it.

Rest in Grace Brethren. We are called to obedience but not to continued bondage under the law. We are to fear God in holy reverence, but we can come boldly to the throne of Grace with hearts of repentance and thankful worship. The struggle with sinful nature lasts a lifetime, but for those who have saving faith in Jesus Christ we are continually being sanctified. The Lord Jesus didn’t suffer the horrific agony of the cross, take all believers sin upon himself, and say “it is finished”, only to lose those who love and seek him to hell for those same sins he nailed to the cross.

Praise the Lord Jesus, our Deliverer, our Saviour and our Precious Hope. All the Glory be unto God alone.

Thank you so much for these words. I was really worried about my Salvation as in the past I willingly sinned...I truly thought "God...let me do this...I know it's a sin but I need it". I was so scared I could not be saved anymore...I am praying for salvation every moment but I am glad I am not doomed and the God's love is able to forgive a horrible sin like mine.

Make sure you approach God the way He expects you to with the right mindset. You must submit to God. That is essential: James 4:7-8 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. That's what your attitude needs to be when you are going through the process of *repentance* and committing to be obedient to God for the rest of your life (that's the kind of "change of mind" God wants to see). You must sincerely regret having sinned against God, and come to the point of hearing and agreeing 100% with Jesus' message saying, "I do not condemn you, now go and don't sin anymore" (John 8:11). Your obedience as you choose to follow God's ways is key--that's how you show your faith to God (John 3:36, Luke 6:46, Hebrews 3:17-18). That opens the door to receiving his *forgiveness* for your past sins (2 Peter 1:9), *healing* (Luke 5:31-32), *freedom from sin/addictions* (John 8:34-36), and the gift of *a new life* that you will live for God and no longer for sin and the passing things of the world (Romans 6:4, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Galatians 6:15). That is the salvation you must make sure you have experienced: freedom from sin (John 8:36, Romans 8:1-2) versus bondage to sin (John 8:34, Romans 7:23). Approaching God in genuine repentance will lead to you receiving the Holy Spirit to lead you to "walk by the Spirit" (Acts 2:38, Galatians 5:16)--with a pure heart and self-control, which is a fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23). Any habit that controls you reveals idolatry in your heart. You have to choose to be done with that and it will be part of your past. That's one thing that will come out of your commitment to be obedient to God for the rest of your life. Please see 1 Peter 4:1-3 and 1 Thessalonians 1:9. James 1:21-22 21 Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls [that's repentance]. 22 But be doers of the word [that's faith, which implies obedience], and not only hearers, deluding your own selves. Hebrews 5:9 And having been made perfect, He [Jesus] became the author of 👉 *eternal salvation to all those who obey Him [...].* Please stay in the word and obey it (James 1:21-22). The word of God is fuel for your faith. To live as a follower of Jesus you must go out of your way to put the word of God in your heart and keep it there, rejecting all distractions. It's a fight and that's how you need to stand to not fall down. The truth will set you free from all sin (John 8:31-32, 36).

You can tell that they had gotten saved because they would have not had the power to heal the sick in his name. The reason that they were able to function I do these things outside of the intimate relationship with Jesus was that the gifts and calling of God are irrevocable! People that function in the gifts is not an indication of their relationship with Jesus. Lord bless you brother!

@@clintbeastwood6149 Heart purity is the answer. God has created us to have natural sexual desires and there is nothing wrong with them, but heart purity and self-control in our thoughts and actions are a must (Matthew 5:8, 1 Corinthians 9:24-27). God calls us to love from a pure heart (see 1 Timothy 1:5, James 4:8, Isaiah 1:16-20). That will eliminate lust that makes one look at another person as a sex object which goes beyond merely acknowledging sexual desire or attraction. And that is possible with Jesus, but we need to not only believe it but also agree 100% with Him to go in that direction. What God's grace promises to his servants who live for Him is "life and peace" (Romans 8:6), not a losing battle with natural urges or any uncontrollable habit likely accompanied with impure thoughts that result in sin certainly. You have to be in agreement with God about doing his will (obeying Him) for the rest of your life and you will become "dead to sin" as the Bible says (1 Peter 2:21-24, Romans 6:1-2, Romans 6:11): that is how you will be set free from sin (John 8:34-36, Romans 6:4-7, Romans 6:14-18). Then nothing will be your master or an idol for you. You can find answers to any questions you have about your sexuality in your own relationship with God. He will surely point out to you anything that is possibly in the way of closeness to Him, whether that's a wrong action or behavior, or a wrong mindset. So, if you focus on building or deepening your relationship with God, then you will be able to seek and receive his precise guidance on anything. Please stay in the word and obey it (James 1:22). It is the truth that will set you free from sin (John 8:31-32, 36).

@yestothetruth

The critical point in his restoration is that he "came to his senses" (Luke 15:17) and repented. That got him on the way back to his father and he was received. That parable itself does not say anyone who is the prodigal now has unlimited time to repent. The urgent call to repentance has already been made, so anyone whose heart is still on sinning (struggling with willful sin) must understand they are choosing death over life and must be diligent to repent and start being obedient to God which is expected of believers. Hebrews 5:9 And having been made perfect, He [Jesus] became the author of eternal *salvation to all those who obey Him* Acts 5:32 And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him. Acts 17:30-31 30 The times of ignorance therefore God overlooked. But *now He commands that all people everywhere should repent, 31 because He has appointed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness by the man whom He has ordained; of which He has given assurance to everyone by raising him from the dead.

If WE ALL STRUGGLED WITH WILLFUL SIN then the Bible would not differintiate between sin and willful sin...

As believers we need to be wise in regards to our salvation, the nature of salvation, how it works, it's purpose, etc, and the above question(s) of can I lose my salvation and how/what is wilful sinning are all part of the process of salvation we need to have wisdom about. Paul in Romans says that we will be saved if we confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and we believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead, which seems straightforward enough, but Paul also writes to Timothy saying how from his youth the holy Scriptures(the OT) have been able to make him wise unto salvation through faith in Jesus Christ. So if it seems to be a done deal in Romans why does Paul say that knowledge of the OT is essential to understand what God has called us to in Christ? Paul when writing to the church in Corinth tells them that the experience of Israel coming under the judgement of God in the desert happened as an example to them, not to set their hearts on evil things as Israel had done and was written down as a warning to them on whom the fulfilment of the ages had come. So a precedent is set that we are to look to the example of how Israel responded to the redemptive purpose of God in order to make sense of our own response to the redemptive purpose of God in Christ. It's important to recognise that the plan of God to redeem through the Law verses the plan to redeem through Christ are completely different plans but the purpose of God remains the same in both cases: to redeem a people for himself from fallen humanity who will glorify him before the nations. God promised Israel a land to live in as a nation under the protection and provision of himself through obedience to him, thus proclaiming that Israel's God was the true God to the surrounding nations, that thay also might turn to him and serve him. However God did warn his people that if they turned from him to serve other gods it would result in their expulsion from the land he had promised to give them, a land that would be their inheritance for ever. So the promise of eternal security was conditional on their obedience to him. When Israel eventually did turn to other gods, they were constantly warned by the prophets to turn back to God or face being exiled from the land. But Israel protested and repeated God's promises(they'd remembered his promise to bless but forgotten his promise to curse!) back to the prophets of being given the land to dwell in forever and that God would never remove them from their land. God chastised false prophets, who promised Israel peace, peace and who wrongly reassured the people that they were safe and had nothing to fear from God removing them from the land, their home. The warnings of the OT are consistent with warnings from the NT that we are to perservere and overcome in being obedient and fruitful in our knowledge of God. Complacency and ignorance of God's word was Israel's downfall. Ignorance of God's word is ignorance of God himself and all that he is. The God of the OT is exactly the same as the God of the NT and Jesus represents him perfectly. The covenants may be different but God remains the same in regard to character and nature: he is Holy and his perfect standards remain the same. God gives warnings for a reason. He knows how weak and vulnerable we are in regards to the deceitfulness of sin and the hardening our hearts towards him. But remember and be encouraged: if our our own predisposition for sin is great how much greater is God's provision to set us free through the power of the Gospel, the life, death, resurrection, return and eternal reign of Jesus Christ!

"Paul in Romans says that we will be saved if we confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and we believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead... " Everyone who abides in Him does not sin; everyone who sins has neither seen Him nor known Him. - 1 John 3:6 If you continue to sin and don't repent, which means change your way of thinking and actively changing your behaviour, then you never really new the LORD and how can you believe in him and be saved if you don't even know him? Not everyone that calls me LORD, LORD will enter into the kingdom of heaven, only those that DO the will of my father. - Matthew 7:21 You have to actually obey JESUS not only with your mind but with your actions if you believe in him and are saved, otherwise you didn't really know him in the first place and are not saved. Being a christian means following and obeying JESUS and because of our flesh we often don't make it, for which we deserve to be cast in the lake of fire for eternity. But JESUS paid our price on the cross, so that we are rightous and without sin before him, which is not a motivation to take sin lightly but a motivation to stop sinning and be holy like JESUS is holy, so that we will endure until the end. I hope this helps brother, I'm really concerned for your soul and I am only learning myself, please pray for me aswell.

Our pastor has been preaching Exodus for weeks and I want to share something with you. We know the Passover in Exodus is like our salvation through Jesus Christ. God’s people are ultimately saved by the covering and blood of Jesus Christ, the lamb of God. However there is an added symbol of the leaven wedged in within the story of the Passover we ought not to overlook. The leaven symbolizes sin, and in the New Testament, God tells us leaven can spread like sin and can even be a small bit which can expand and grow into the whole dough lump. The people were instructed by God to remove every single trace of leaven within their homes, lest they be CUT OFF. This is an action we must take in accordance to the Will and leading of God to do something to remove sin in our lives. We are called to be holy as He is Holy. The salvation of the blood of Jesus is not complete without the repentance from sin and the acts to rid our lives of that sin. So yes a lamb can be slain for you but if you ignore the command to remove sin from your life you may be placed with the hypocrites. The New Testament talks about the leaven which is of Malice and hypocrisy. We do not want to be placed with the hypocrites or cut off from the land of the living God. We need to be much more careful in working out our salvation and daily seek His face and Will. The “once saved always saved” doctrine is lacking if all you do is take the Passover lamb but fail to remove the leaven/sin during that period of time you may be placed with the hypocrites and cut off.

@@lisapriola7927 well here’s the thing, sin comes naturally, we all sin and we can’t get rid of our sinful nature, but I agree we should repent and try to live by God’s laws, the point I was trying to make is that keeping the law won’t save you nor keep you saved.

I need your prayers man of God

Please see the videos in my playlist called _Be Set Free From Sin_ for help. It is God's grace that will help you overcome sin and live a new life that is pleasing to Him (Titus 2:11-14). But it starts with repentance first, in the right way that God expects. Peace to you!

Cgilbert To pastor John God is good and I love the way you Teach the words of the Father and son and the holy Spirit. May peace be upon you

Hebrews 4 verses 15-16 says that Jesus understands our weakness because he was also tempted in life. And that we should go boldly to the throne of grace to obtain mercy. And the use of the word boldly means to come to HIM w confidence that he can and will forgive us if we a truly sorry for our sins. ITS NEVER TO LATE UNTIL YOU ARE DEAD OR CHRIST RETURNS. SALVATION IS FOR ALL WHO BELIEVE IN CHRIST.

In confessing a sin, God expects us to also repent of it. He will not be mocked. Salvation is conditional and can be lost as scriptures prove: tinyurl.com/yc3kmupg

My relationship with God has been Rocky for months. I used to be deeply sanctified, i used to do ministry here and there, God used me to encourage others. Now I'm addicted to pornography again and bitter. I'm upset he's let me struggle and suffer these past few months. I need a way out. When I pray I feel at times I'm just hitting a wall, like my prayers aren't being heard and they aren't getting answered.

You need to repent. Humble yourself before God and recognize how you had not 100% rejected evil, which is what led you to sin. That is part of everyone's story (Romans 3:23). But you can reject evil and be redeemed from bondage to sin (Romans 3:24). That is what repentance is about. God will hear your prayers, and forgive you, and heal you (1 Peter 3:10-12, 2 Chronicles 7:14, Isaiah 55:6-7, 2 Corinthians 7:10, James 1:21-22). Read these scriptures to understand God's plan for you and have no doubt about it. Please see the videos in the *_"Be Set Free From Sin"_* section on my channel for help. Take some time to understand well the way you need to approach God. Your obedience to God out of love for God (John 14:15) is the key to your deliverance from any sin that you are bound in (Hebrews 5:9). Peace to you!

My heart goes out to all of you struggling with sin in this comment section and for people seeing this and in the world really i might still be new to all of this but god is always looking to forgive those who repent may god bless you all ill be praying for you.

I had this same question and by the glory of God I got the answer through this video. I never understood that wilful dining is different than spontaneous sin. Thank you so much for your breakdown and translation of this.

You don’t want to be given over to a reprobate mind from not tacking captive your thoughts and bringing it under submission to the word of God, and can’t come back.

Repent from your sins people and be born again, believing is not enough, we need to repent, because that is real faith, Jesus loves us tho, that is why he gave himself on the cross, for our sins, repent and let us accept the Lord Jesus, You wont regret it. He changed my life, Let him do the same to you.

I am so glad that I found this message! I’ve just been set free from my misunderstanding of sin and salvation. Thanks for cleaning this up! God Bless...

You need to be set free (saved) from sin (Matthew 1:21, John 8:31-36, Romans 6:7, 18). Make sure you understand how and identify with those scriptures as a reality that you have experienced.

That was encouraging, thank you :-)

Ephesians 4:30 - you're sealed by the Holy Spirit until the day of redemption, that's the day you go to be with the Lord - - i.e. You cannot lose your salvation

Brother Matthew So Galatians is a waste of time? You are partly correct as far as 'loosing salvation' but one can forsake salvation.

1969cmp - again Ephesians 4:30 proves that you cannot become unsaved. If you could, then Ephesians 2:8-9 is false and salvation is by works then. Because our actions and choices affect our salvation, but according to Ephesians 2:8-9 and Galatians 2:16 its nothing about us.

Brother Matthew No worries. Ill tare out Galatians as that book must be a waste of time as it is quite explicit as to what is out stake, An entire book v one verse....correction, 3 verses... (and let us not forget the warning to the seven churches of Asia....) Unless of course you read something in there and interpreted out of context and the intended purpose of the text? 😉

Praying . How are you now

I really find this verse to sum this topic up John 3:3”no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born again”. Someone is born again through faith and filled with the spirit, this is through christ who baptizes us of the spirit and justifies us. If someone is born again, they have the spirit which goes against sin.

Thank you so much for this
