Life is Hard - God is Good - Louie Giglio
Almost nothing is guaranteed, except for two things:
Life is Hard. God is Good.
That’s it; those are the two guarantees we’re walking away with today. The first one, life is hard, no one ever really had to teach us. The second one is a whole different story.
God is good… all the time.
So what happens when that truth faces off against real life? What happens when we are confronted with the truth that the story of Jesus-followers is a story of hardship? How do we reconcile the mountain of victory we’re standing on with the hardship the story of our spiritual lineage holds?
We embrace it and we look at the life of Paul.

At Passion City Church, we believe that because God has displayed the ultimate sacrifice in Jesus, our response to that in worship must be extravagant. It is our privilege, and our created purpose, to reflect God’s Glory to Him through our praise, our sacrifice, and our song.

Wow... watching and listening today on 2.17.23... exactly what I needed. Bc life is hard right now but God is good. And the reminder of Ps 27:13-14 at the end, just makes me wanna take courage. Thank you Lord for this message. May I apply it to my life, help me Holy Spirit for my strength is small.
I definitely need to make Jesus more PERSONAL in my life. I’m still getting my bearings with my faith and I’m growing more and more hungry for His word. Even bought my first study Bible recently and I felt this overwhelming feeling of comfort and passion.
One of the best sermons I have ever heard, So encouraging! Thank you Jesus for this God Bless you Loui
God is Great ! People Repent 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
i listen and relisten to this time and time again 24:00 to end
Thank you my friend and Savior Jesus
Jesus is Lord ! He opened the Door to Salvation through his sacrifice yet it is up to YOU if you pass through it. God would never force the sheep of the world , he only inspires and offers wholeheartedly. Without the Holy Spirit you will not move a single inch to the Kingdom !!!
I needed to hear this sermon today. In the last few days, God has awakened me from my spiritual slumber by giving me a trial I never thought that I would have to face. It is completely my fault and due to my own sin, but while I repent and ask Him for mercy from this thing, I also know that it will bring me and maybe others closer to Him.

Louie, I've been listening to your preachings all the way from Germany for about 15 years now. Yet, it still strikes me how you never lose your focus, telling everyone what a great great God we have (what a fact!) no matter the circumstances and that the grace of Jesus is our only way to have peace with God. God bless you for sharing this truth with such sincerity and dedication!!
Wow...Luis...... I am really sorry that you would have suffered extra pain at the loss of Ravi Zacharias. I never met him. I loved him for many years, listening to many, many of his sermons. It must have been heartbreaking for you to find out he was not keeping the faith in his life. My heart really aches for his wife, his children too. So many great people loved him very, very much. His story shows us just how powerful is our adversary Satan. If he can cause a man as wonderful as Ravi Zacharias to fall down........he can get anyone. God Bless you. Thank you for your Ministry. Amen.

I'm praying now for a loved one of mine who continues to battle and turn to the wrong thing. Anyone who reads this your prayers are very welcomed also. No names nessasery God knows who the prayers are for and where to apply. Our God is a God of constant movement and restoration. Thank you God for all the love and compassion you show us...

If they believe that someone has to baptize them in order for Jesus to save them, then I ask them if they believe that someone has to submerge them in water when they baptize them in order for Jesus to save them. If they believe that someone has to submerge them in water when they baptize them in order for Jesus to save them, then I ask them if they believe that whoever baptized them has to say, “I baptize you in the name of the Jesus,” when they baptize them in order for Jesus to save them.

@@austinbrown2283 . Dear Brother, be careful when the gospel is reduced to steps. "to baptize them in order for Jesus to save them" - Jesus does not need to have someone "baptized" in order for Him to save that person. From my personal experience in Christ, the many examples in the Bible and others that I personally know that have now their names in the Book of Life - We were saved by faith in Jesus, and then, we were baptized as an external sign to what had already happened inside. Remember that the thief being crucified with Jesus is now with Him in heaven because Jesus said so and from what is shown in the Scriptures, he was never baptized! Please pray about this and ask the Author of the Scripture to show you His truth. Love you dear Brother:)

C F Acts 2:38 Peter replied, “All of you must turn away from your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then your sins will be forgiven. You will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” That verse shows that we have to be baptized in order for us to go to Heaven. Hebrews 9:16-18 What happens when someone leaves a will? It is necessary to prove that the person who made the will has died. A will is in effect only when somebody has died. It never takes effect while the one who made it is still living. That’s why even the first covenant was not put into effect without the spilling of blood. Those verses show us that Jesus had to die in order for the New Covenant to take effect. Jesus saved the criminal before Jesus died. If Jesus had to die in order for the New Covenant to take effect, and if Jesus saved the criminal before Jesus died, then Jesus saved the criminal while the criminal was in the Old Covenant. Us being baptized so that we can go to Heaven was not in the Old Covenant. If us being baptized so that we can go to Heaven was not in the Old Covenant, and if Jesus saved the criminal while the criminal was in the Old Covenant, then the criminal did not have to be baptized in order for the criminal to go to Heaven.

Who is God
Louie, I disagree with your first premise. Life isn't hard. There are moments in life that are horrendous, but life is much more than just those moments. Life is an amazing gift that God has given each of us. The only reason that I can give that supports that life is hard is that we can't be in His physical presence. THAT kills me, but life is so good. God is good is an extreme understatement, but I completely understand how you couldn't accurately put that into words, as there will never be any words that can describe exactly how good God is.

How can anyone hear the "good" news? Romans chapter 10: verse 17 Then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Isaiah chapter 7: verse 14: "Therefore the LORD shall give you a sign; behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and call His name Immanuel." Hebrew: עִמָּנוּאֵל, "God with us" in human flesh but without sin. The Savior of the world was born to die for our sins! He did so 33 years later. His terrible ordeal; body mutilated; blood poured out, finally died and was placed in a tomb and rose from the dead the 3rd day ! "HE IS RISEN" Matthew chapter 28: verse 6. Isaiah chapter 53: verse 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. - IT IS FOUNDED UPON GOD'S LOVE FOR MAN AND WOMAN HE CREATED John chapter 3: Verse 16 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 1 John chapter 2: verse 2 Romans chapter 5:verse 8 But God demonstrates his love for us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, now justified by his blood, we will be saved from wrath through him." “For he (God) hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians chapter 5:verse 21.

Jesus died to pay the penalty for our sins and rescue us from eternal death. Because of Jesus' death on our behalf, all we have to do is believe in Him, trusting in His death and in the shedding of His blood as payment for our sins, as well as in His burial and resurrection from the dead on the third day, and we will be saved! John chapter 20: verses 24-31 WHOSOEVER BELIEVES SHALL TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH Romans 10: 9 That if you shall confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart man believes in righteousness; And a confession by mouth is given for salvation. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. TO DIE IS TO REJECT SALVATION IN JESUS CHRIST AND BE SEPARATE FROM GOD FOREVERMORE Salvation and forgiveness of sins is the blessing of anyone who believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We are sealed (permanently!) by God the Holy Spirit: Ephesians chapter 1 verse 13-14. Those who reject the free gift of salvation, see John chapter 3: verse 16 above, "perish", which means their sins are judged by God the Son and they suffer eternal separation from God and the family of God forever called the "second death".
