- Michael Pearl answers a question from a viewer: I watched a RUclips video about a man who had a near death experience, and saw lukewarm Christians who went to hell for their sins that they had not repented of. They said it was due to not abandoning willful sin. What do you say about this idea?

I’m so old I cant remember all my sins from being young in the 70’s. But I believe knowing what I know now, I would live my life differently. I love Jesus and He is changing my life. Praise the Lord.
He was probably in hell as well which is why he could see others (like him) going to hell. I think we should quote Matthew 7:5 when responding to that person, "first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." 😇
Amen❤❤❤
Jesus died for all sins. The unrepented ones can kill (Hebrews 10:26-29).
@@Anony584 out of context, its talking about how the Jews wanted to keep doing animal sacrifices.
I struggle with willful sin! I have worried that I am a fake Christian! But my conscience, the holy spirit in me gives me a hope that I am truely saved. great listening to this video.
You shouldn’t be worrying. If you have known sin that you refuse to repent of that proves unrepentance. Repentance unto good works and good fruit accompany salvation. Todays gospel lacks the need for repentance. It’s not optional. God gives peace and perfect peace when the souls truly repents of all known sin and His love fuels the soul with joy. Either worry or peace. Fruit to root. Up your expectations towards repentance. Give no room to make excuses that it’s ok to not repent of something you know is wrong.
You must overcome your willful sin while there is still time or you risk being damned.
Jesus Christ died for our sins was buried and rose on the 3rd day trust Jesus Christ alone and you are saved
@@sffsf81 all sin is willful sin, Therefore we all are going to hell based on yo ur comment. No one holds a drink to your mouth, no one makes u sleep with your neighbors wife, no one forces you to lie etc! Therefore we will all die as willful sinners saved by grace, outside of those who don’t believe and reject Christ
Don't be deceived or detoured. Stay in the faith bc as u grow closer to God and ask Him to replace the sinful desires with Godly pleasures He will do that. We don't fix ourselves then go get saved. We get saved so that God can empower us through His Holy Spirit to overcome what we could not once upon a time. Stay on the journey and keep ur eye on the prize!! To God be all the Glory forever and ever Amen
Love these videos me and my husband are pretty new Christians we had 2 very small boys were saved then married within a week and went to Israel for our honeymoon that was 2 years ago and we can’t learn enough about the word. This channel is a true blessing
I'm so glad you guys are still actively in ministry - making videos, answering questions, giving advice, etc. My husband and I received a set of your books as a wedding present from some missionaries 12 years ago. 7 years later we started having kids and decided to read you book - Train up a Child. It was the old set, with the sketch horse & Buggy amish covering - i would NEVER have bought or read the book if it wasn't given to me by such sweet people on such an important day AND if their children hadn't turned out so good. I was SO glad i read it! It's been pivotal in our parenting and we get comments ALL THE TIME about how well-behaved our children are as a result!
Also, I'm reading a book Debi co-authored about being the hidden help meet and it's reviving me and my marriage in an amazing way. I had no idea you guys were still going strong. I'm so happy you are and that you've adapted to this new media channel- it's the best way to reach this generation with the practical truth God has entrusted you with!
Praising the Lord for you!
I don’t understand how some ppl would knowingly leave the faith and risk eternal damnation!
Please pray for my daughter Jade. She is 20 yrs old. Stopped going to church and reading her Bible. She started college and got her 1st job and has left the faith. This causes me much grief and pain in my heart. I pray for her everyday. 😞
@@dianagalat3013 it’s been some time since you made this comment, but I just said a prayer for your daughter. I pray that God will reveal Himself to her if he has not already, and that he will give you peace and trust in His will
Belief and being sealed by the Holy Spirit is a one time event. You cannot lose your salvation, otherwise, as the Bible says, God would be denying Himself. This is because the Holy Spirit is living within you.
Anyone who was truly saved, believed on the Death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, alone, for the forgiveness of sins, is saved forever.
I am one of many believers who thank the Lord that they have been led to discover The Door videos.Thank you, brother Michael Pearl for posting.
I’m a struggling skeptic . I want to be a believer but I wrestle with it daily. I’ve listened to you for years and appreciate your expository abilities . Thanks for your steadfast faithfulness to the word . ✌🏼
Listen to “ Allen Parr”
Call upon the Lord out of a sincere heart and tell Him that you want to believe but you are struggling. Ask the Lord Jesus to help you overcome unbelief. Then ask Him to reveal Himself to you in such a way that you will be able to believe and be saved. The Bible says that the Lord does not want any to perish. God loves you more than you can ever imagine.
If you are still struggling, I would really suggest reading or listening to an audio book of CS Lewis' christian books.
" Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved " , simple .
@@karynbanksley7110 We pray you will accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. You will never regret it if you do.
😂😂😂 i love that you have to explain to people that you own more than 1 shirt
I think the question was that if a someone got "saved" one day and continued to be a fornicator, adulterer, murderer, et al, will that person go to heaven. The confusing thing about something like this is the understanding of the word "faith." Jesus Christ didn't die so we could get a free out jail card to live as the people in the world do. Whenever the words being in Christ were mentioned, it was followed by being a new creature. Nowhere in the Bible does it ever state that heaven is for those who are no different from pagans.
Yes,and on the flip side of that it's not anything that you do or don't do(except rejecting Jesus) that will keep you out if heaven,however whatever rewards you may have had will be less or more no idea what could be more rewarding than leaving earth but it's probably spectacular,the reason it's easy you see it like this is because we see life in a linear way,it's one continuous line to an end,God sees your life in every possible choice you could ever make every deed you will ever do,and STILL will choose to forgive everything from before and after,to God time is being created and ended.
It's the Spirit that has been given us that stops our willingness to sin but because we are flesh sin will always remain but the difference is the Spirit is constantly working on our behalf, praise the Lord Jesus Christ
The idea that you think a saved individual wouldn’t fall to those sins is a clear indication that you think being saved means perfection! Which it does not. Although one may be fornicsting after being saved, it’s the intentions that person has that determines their salvation. A fornicator that repents and wants to not be a fornicator is completely different than a fornicator that doesn’t care what god says about it
This has become my favorite study channel
This Brother I must say is pretty fantastic and knowledgeable of Gods Holy Word. Thank you great teaching
"it its by mercy and grace lest no man can boast"
THANK YOU!!! Trust in Jesus for ALL things!!! His precious blood paid for everything for those who believe in our Savior!!!
Amen .
We hold onto the faith, not to the law, for salvation. If Jesus died for your sins, He died for every one of them because He took on the full wrath of the law on the cross (Galatians 3:13). So, if one believes fornication sends you to hell, that means Jesus cannot cover that sin. It means avoiding fornication saves you.
I believe Once Saved Always Saved but don't we gotta repent of certain sins? The bible said homosexuals, adulterers, sorcerers and fornicators will not inherit the kingdom of God.
If you already committed fornication you're already going to hell. All sin sends to hell. Jesus's blood covers all sins.
@@KREW--hl2bd repenting of our sins is not a work. As long as We put our faith in Jesus and his death on the cross for our payment of our sins and his resurrection to life. Jesus said repent or perish. So, repenting of our sins to God is critical for receiving forgiveness for them otherwise everyone on earth would be saved if they didn’t need to repent and choose to turn to Christ for their salvation.
Yes Jesus died for all sin His sacrifice and blood in an atonement for ALL sin. Jesus knew the sin He was dying for, He saw men would be child molesters as He carried that cross and He still kept going. Jesus didn't say Oh wait some of these sins are too disgusting for me to carry, I can't forgive that let Me get on outta here... but No Jesus knew every hidden sin and died was buried and rose for Justification for All sin. Lust, divorce, murder, people having sex with dolls and objects, the nastiest sins you can think of Jesus died for it all. Avoiding these things doesn't get you saved believing in the sacrifice and the Blood of Jesus is your saving Grace. God knows we're gonna have struggles But we have been justified by Blood, washed. We avoid all these things because the bible says now that you have received Christ, walk in Him.
@@KREW--hl2bd so what is your stance on once saved always saved?
Thank you brother. I love your ability to teach true doctrine. I left a church due to a preacher change and false doctrine. You seem very humble and honest. Your setting for your videos is also very humble and comfortable. Love you brother. God bless you.
I love this! Thanks for your teachings from the word.
I have several of each too.. shirts , sweats and socks. God bless you and thank you for the video!
thank you! i really need to hear this... my main stumbling block, as i confess amongst all my fellow believers, is the ungodly sin of pornography ... i always confess it to Jesus Christ my Lord & Savior, and will never give up fighting to break free from it, nor will i ever abandon the faith, believing in HIM.
You're not alone in this struggling with pornograghy, I just recent bought the feet video. It's only casual nothing explicit. But I think it's an excuse and I think it's a willful sin. I'm afraid I angered Jesus and I think I need to watch this.
Sir..I love your IN THE FACE GOSPEL!!
THE TRUTH CUTS LIKE A DOUBLE EDGE SWORD,THROUGH BONE AND MARROW. BROTHER THANK YOU FOR YOUR DEVOTION TO OUR SAVIOR....JESUS CHRIST!!! YOU ARE TEACHING ME DAILY! I CAN'T GET ENOUGH
The thought of Lord Jesus saying he never knew me is the worst regret anyone could hear .
Irreversible / done deal . Torment for eternity .
I believe all of Lord Jesus words , teaching and instructions are perfectly just and fair and true .
( of course ) . I’m sick and tired of my willful sins .
I think I know what the fear of God is ! There’s a
Difference between unintentional sin and willful /
deliberate sin .Be aware of both (from experience)
Bible says , God doesn’t strive with man forever .
Lord Jesus says He will never forsake us , but we can forsake ourselves and lose our salvation that’s
Been provided . We shouldn’t take salvation for granted . We should obey and repent of our unintentional sins as they occur . Willful sin has to stop if we’re honest . Race the good race . It’s a matter of true love for our God ,( Father ), or not .
True love for our Lord Jesus who suffered and died for our sins to be forgiven . ( paid for, for our sake ) . ( I’m thankful )
“ all my own opinion “. ( Bible scripture influenced )
Thank you . And God Bless .
You can’t lose you salvation bro
Thank you brother Michael ✝️
I have known a little about the Lord until here recently. Im on my journey to learn and practice what I have learned also share with anyone I can. It has really changed my life literally so much in the pass few months. I still find myself a little lost on somethings I have learned but I'm most definitely trying and wanting to learn everything I can. Thank you for all you share on here. Thank you and God bless you
If you are born again. no sin condemns you. All sin, past, present, and future are forgiven. 1 John its says a man born again cannot sin, which in context means the new man/spirit is perfect as Jesus is perfect. All sins after being born again are of the FLESH.
How do we know our future sins are forgiven
@@kimberlyr5858 1 John 1:8-9
Revelation 2:18-23, says that those of the Church who continue willfully in sin will not inherit the Kingdom.Also Hebrews 10:26-27 lets know that willful sin, because that's the question,will keep you out of Heaven.
If we die in the faith living in willful sin, we'll probably go as potato farmers in the Kingdom!... There are rewards of variance that's talked about. God bless brother in Christ👍❤
Great answer preacher and well said.
Very good explanation. God knows what we will do before we do it. Now the question is, in our Christian walk are we going to allow the Holy Spirit to guide us daily. We don’t always listen to the Holy Spirit. That being said, there will never be any of us without sin until we are in Heaven
Wow that was a great answer! You answered so many questions there! I downloaded it so I can watch it anytime I need to hear it again. Thank you , sir.
Minister Pearl, I thank a gracious neighbor for allowing me to use her phone to post this to you. Considering what most people have gone through with past administrations and religious entities, including myself, I find that you are a breath of fresh air.
I think if you willfully sin then you ain’t really a true Born again Christian, because I NEVER WANT to sin. But my flesh will want to. I ask for forgiveness.
thank you for your teachings, honestly I have been struggling all my life with guilt, and now I can see that there is no need or use for guilt but to neutralize me, I guess the truth truly sets one free.
Is not every sin willful? I believe I am saved by grace. I may get no crowns at the judgement seat of Christ, I’ll simply be thankful I’m there.
You are correct, there is no such thing as an unwillful sin.
Is everyone forgetting Hebrews? To continue willfully sinning, their remains no more sacrifice for that sin. Chapter 10 I believe?
You are such a blessing. God bless you!💗😘💗
Thanks Michael for explaining thing's you make IT easy to understand God bless you . AMEN AMEN AMEN
Go and sin no more, including pornography, fornication, lying, will full sin will not inherit the kingdom of God
✟
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)
Sir, please pray for me that I remain faithful and keep confidence steadfast unto the end. I am a sinner who has sinned willfully and has guiltfully repented, yet fell back into temptation over and over again. I pray to Father through our Lord Jesus Christ that I remain repentant and faithful to His ways. I need as many prayers as possible, though. Thank you and God bless, sir.
Hello, you may find this teaching helpful. nogreaterjoy.org/shop/sin-no-more-sanctification-mp3-cd
This has really blessed me. Thank you
If your Not reading your bible and praying everyday. Your in trouble. You have to stay away from things of the flesh like R rated movies with sex and language and even TV today takes the Lords name in vain. It’s Not easy You have to dedicate yourself to Christ. You have to live and Love God. I know. I was saved when I was young and never consistently read my bible and prayed. I ended up walking away from the Lord. In got in to very bad sins that I am ashamed of and still never forgive myself for. But Jesus did. I walk with him everyday now. I read my bible everyday and pray with him as much as I can. I Love him and he Loves me. If I stayed on my course I would have burned in hell. But the good shepherd found me and took me back. I will Never stray or leave him again. Amen
I am happy to hear your story, and many things you say are true. However, if you claim to read the Bible so much, shouldn’t you understand that salvation has nothing to do with reading your Bible or not watching bad movies? Those are good things, but they will not save you. That is a works based faith. If it is by grace, it cannot also be of works. If it is by works, than it is not of grace.
Paul said I won't be perfect until the day of Christ. Enough said
Where is that in the bible
THIS is the gospel!!! The good news!!!
I struggle with sin constantly and I pray a lot but still fall into temptation and stuff. It's hard. But I know God has a plan and I trust in Jesus and everything so. I think God literally sent me someone to take me away from sin because I've started to change very recently. Also God showed me your youtube channel and I'm so happy I get to hear the answers to these questions
Wait. Wait. Wait.. the scriptural answer says. "Depart from me you who work iniquity" iniquity in this commandment means continual sin!! Jesus says those who continue in sin will have to depart. If we find out sin is sin, we have to stop it. Or we will have to depart, like He says. Jesus is the only way, we will have to depart from Him if we continue sin.
I just watched another video by you that said if you drink alcohol to get drunk you will have a place in the lake of fire, wouldn't that fall into the same category as willful sinning?
My son was raised to know and love the Lord . He backslid and died at the age of 26 . This explanation gives me tremendous comfort in knowing how merciful and loving our God is . Thank you Lord for the free gift of salvation 🙏
Awesome Preaching!
Assurance of salvation.
Praise God for Jesus Christ!
Surely the Holy Spirit convicts of sin?
This channel is answering my question left and right
Thank you my friend.
Agreed with everything except when speaker said he didn’t commit willful sin. Man, everybody does that. Every Christian does that. Some people say that if you sin “willfully” or on purpose that this proves you are not saved. What they end up doing is explaining away their sins and lowering the bar of God’s perfect standard.
Correct he lost me with that one. He willfully sinned by making that statement
Jesus Christ died for our sins was buried and rose on the 3rd day trust Jesus Christ alone and you are saved
I truly love your clear explanations of scripture God bless you
Great explanation brother. God Bless you and your ministry!🙏
Thank you for your diligence in studying the Word.
Thank you Brother very clear & Scriptural answers ❤🙏
Michael the question was "wilfully sin" not "unconfessed sin" , those are two different things. Living life following Christ you will have "unconfessed sin" . "Willful sin" is following your own nature not following Christ.
Im So Glad i came across this Channel ❤
Every day, Jesus becomes more real to me.
I love your wisdom and really you go a great job overall, brother.
I have to say though that I really would recommend no one talks to Satan...handing them over is basically how God describes
giving people over to their lusts for the degrading of their bodies with one another in romans 1 except this is the believer version.
The church is essentially to let them go their own way because as Jesus prescribed if at three rebukes they don't listen, cast them out and consider them as a gentile or taxcollector.
I don't think you can find anywhere believers are to converse with Satan in such a manner. That's an interpretation.
Only time we are to talk any where near the direction of Satan is to call out lies, proclaim Scripture as Jesus answered Satan in the desert to thwart those lies, or to cast out demons.
The true gospel... as this man teaches... IS THE GOOD NEWS. Nobody is perfect and We are SINNERS who have faith that God paid for our sins FOREVER on the cross! Praise Jesus and He is GOOD. Thank you God. I will continue to trust that you are bigger than my sin. Where sin abounds Grace SUPER abounds!
Excellent pastor
"If you walk in darkness and call yourself a believer then you are a lier."
Sinning and willful sinning isn't the same thing.
Watching pornography sneaking around to not get caught is willful sinning. You are living in darkness.
The dangerous part isn't necessarily only the watching of pornography but also others telling that person it's ok you're covered by grace.
Also the scripture about the young man sleeping with his step mother, the church want upset about it. They allowed him to be in their presence without discipline.
Paul scolded the church and said because you failed to act I'll do it myself.
Delivery to Satan didn't mean to be put to death either. It could be to struck him with illness which he would hopefully lead to repentance. In that context if he never repented and continued in sin would he be saved. Would he be called a lier because he was walking in darkness?
Was he in willful sin?
It's crazy to think that we have to repent for every sin we had committed in the past. Sucks to be a 90 year old born again.
It also sucks to believe that one can live a double life with two wives and still think you're still in the faith.
What does "in the faith even mean" just believe in Jesus and that you're saved? Even the demons believed in Jesus.
What does believe mean?
Jesus said if you love me then keep my commandments.
Finally, I already asked this question but is sin the same thing as willfully sin?
Unless you repent you will perish bro. If you die in your sin and without repentance then there’s hell Bro.
@@James_follows_Christ this just isn’t Biblical. If you are born again in Christ, you are not “in sin”. You commit sins, but you are no longer judged by the law, you are judged by the blood of Jesus.
I am confident that He who began a good work in you, will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ. There's a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is the ways of death. Trust not in your own understanding, but trust in The Lord Jesus Christ the Righteous. Awesome video and thankful for it.
Much LOVE to you my Brother in Jesus Christ Iesous.. LOVE your videos..
People that believe you can lose your salvation, are saying they are 100% perfect 100% of the time. If this is true, Christ didn’t have to go to the cross. It’s not WORKS, it’s grace and a gift from God. Now, God will discipline you if need be. But, your soul is always saved.
Almost 4 years ago today I became a widow at the young age of 64. I think it was still young. It was the midst of COVID so I was on admin.leave. The months to follow turned into struggles that I had never had to experienced alone. Hurricane, new roof, broken trees needed to be cut professional, water leak from a stupid vinyl hose from toilet to wall..? Come On Now! What next? I realized the upkeep that is required for my wee bitty lot in the city was quite an undertake. I had put in a retirement day at work for June age 65 '2021. I am calmed down now not trying to send a plea of a silly girl. Only wanted to say WISH I could have had the opportunity to give you a listen back then. But I have only just found you recently just before Easter 2024. And it has been a blessing to me! Yea we are not that in-tune on some smalls. But big picture says you are A-Okay. Where were you 4 yrs ago when I was learning I am stronger than I knew... Perhaps God was learning me on his power to keep me going and carrying on. There is Church and Jimmy Swaggart on my free antenna TV. But you have gravy for my grits & potatoes & biscuits. You make me search the word. Thank You!
When you die, there's nothing to see. By GOD'S grace and mercy. I didn't stay dead long. I do remember a very peaceful feeling of nothingness.
I am 53 years old. I heard the gospel when I was 12. When I was 9, I was introduced to explicit sexual content..in writing, graphics, videos...I have a wife and 3 adult kids now. At peace with God because Jesus overcomes...before I fought it by my own, knowing God's word without the power of the Holy Spirit....Here is the verse, Gal. 2 20. 20 I have been crucified with Christ [that is, in Him I have shared His crucifixion]; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body I live by faith [by adhering to, relying on, and completely trusting] in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me. YES, believe that, God is faithful..Jesus is in me, He is the Lord...God dwells in me...He is doing His will...I NO LONGER LIVES, BUT CHRIST... HALLELUJAH!!!!
your getting a sub. I just ran into your vid and thanks for doing a good job explaining the Word..
I want to thank you for the way you presented this particular topic as well as for uploading this video. God's ways are not our ways, and each person learns differently. Thank you so much for offering insight on God's word for those of us who may not be as knowledgeable. And thank you Jesus for helping us learn.
Don't deny the BLOOD bought you and you are safe, however, STOP sinning !!! BROTHER JAMES 🙏🙏🙏
There’s a difference between sin you are aware of. We all are bent towards selfishness constantly. Genuine convert loves God supremely and strives effectively at crucifying sinful nature. Huge difference
Thank you for all of your efforts. God bless you for what you are doing. Quick question. I have studied the finds of Ron Wyatt and I believe he DID find the Ark among other things. What do you think of this man he is a seventh day Adventist. I am not ! I am a follower of Christ who was saved in the 80s and struggled a long time and I found God again. ( Or he found me) after watching the video of all that Ron Wyatt found. Keep in mind I was baptized last year in a Baptist Church. I do not attend every week but I speak to God continuously and have had some things happen that tell me the complete truth of the saving faith of the Lord Jesus Christ. If you don't get to the question I understand and I just plain and simple Love your teaching. Ease keep at it and I hope someday to see you in person. I'm a 61 year old child of God. And God bless you
Michael thank you for your teachings, you are a great teacher. God bless
Anything not of Faith is sin. So what does one say? The just shall live by Faith. Faith in the finished work of Christ. ✝️👈👀✌
Thank you for these videos, I dont trust most churches or pastors very much especially after an incident I had with a minister about six years ago being very perverted towards me at my job when I was 19. I love how you go by The Word and show us and help us understand the Bible more and how God works. Thank you so much and I hope youtube keeps these up for good ♡ God Bless
"And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."
Revelation 3:14-22
Read the bible, pray and repent
Iraq has a large Christian population , around 1.5 million
If I smoke and continue in the faith all my life and keep growing and growing. Will I still be saved ?
The story about the shirts funny I have the same problem I we're like the same for five T-shirts because I wash them and then stick them back on top of the drawer and then I just grab those
We don't make it a practise to sin we strive not to.if we sin we have an advocate Jesus Christ .we repent ask Jesus to forgive us and turn from it and Jesus will forgive us .
In regard to commenting on your shirt at the intro of video:
(1), My dad is 90 and will wear the same clothes over and over till they get holes in them. The reason is he says is they are “comfortable “.
(2). This is supported by the saying that people wear 10% of their clothes 90% of the time (the other 90% rarely get used).
Wonderful message!
Wow I love your humor Pastor!
My ex, who used to be an elder and Bible teacher in our church, divorced me and moved in with an unbelieving woman. He has turned his back on two of our daughters who are speaking Scripture into his life, addressing his sin, and he calls them manipulative and judgmental. That man cannot be living that lifestyle, ignoring the Holy Spirit and think he's saved. He must not have been saved in the first place.
This reminds me of something that Jesus said. When confronted by religion - why do you eat with sinners. Jesus said the healthy do not need a doctor. Explanations - the biggest sinners are the most likely to repent
You r an awesome teacher
Thank you.
Help Lord (Psalm 12:1)
What about the verse Phil 1:6 God who began a good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in his grace until his task within you is finished.
Reality check:
"I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would grow faint before me, and the breath of life that I made." (Isaiah 57:16)
"The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end." (Lamentations 3:22)
"O you who hear prayer, to you shall all flesh come. When iniquities prevail against me, you atone for our transgressions." (Psalm 65:2-3)
Hallelujah!!
I've heard people say the only time they ever sin it's only by accident. Stupid!!!
I'm not saying we should go ahead and have a big sin celebration, heck no. But the thing of "only by accident", gimme a break.
Pastor your teaching is well thought out as always. However maybe a better way to look at it is willful sin. I we die in willful sin then we are being disobedient to God (in our moment of death) and therefore have no way to repent before we stand before Him. I understand what you're saying (once saved, always saved). We have an obligation to obedience that we joyfully submit to. We should not knowingly sin...we stumble enough in ignorance! Your teaching is true but we must be careful to not take easy outs! Jesus didn't take one for us.
God Help us all
UGH....I'M SO CONFUSED
Brother in Christ; thank you for your preaching. You have some DEEEEEEP insights.I have been looking at some of the NDE vids too. I have seen A LOTTA RED FLAGS in those. The Bible is THE FINAL AUTHORITY! Thank, you for addressing this subject and all of the others. Be blessed in Christs name! AMEN!
I had a 5 pk. of comfort fit in Grey wore them all out for about 3 years.
Thank You....
Galatians 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
