Share your Easter traditions that help point your heart toward Jesus below! Did anyone else ever have the resurrection story Easter eggs? Because those are a core mem for me and I definitely want to find some version of them to do with Judah/our future kids 🥲
I had always felt and thought that the Easter Egg hunt for kiddies was just what it is, an entertainment game for children. Second Saturday of every month we have a theme at our church for the people living with challenges all over our community and suburb. Something what they really looking forward to. So it is great fun for them and us, the volunteers. The main purpose of this is to teach the Challengers about Christ Jesus through praise, stories and song and dance and activities. So we had Easter Eggs on second Saturday of March, and who didn't like Easter Eggs. But that Saturday afternoon, I learned about the real message of the Easter Egg. The question for the Challengers was, what happens when you open an Easter Egg? I was thinking of the marshmallow Easter egg. Many of them didn't know. I didn't know either. Maybe you would know, but I was blown away by the answer one of our Challengers gave . When you open an Easter Egg, it is empty. Okay, and then? So was the tomb of Jesus Christ. First time I understood Easter. He has risen. It made so much sense to me. ❤🥰
Easter is a pagan holiday originated in Rome like ALL our holidays people are so blind lost and asleep to any truth !!! If your church celebrates Easter a false church !!! The church is like the world 😢 Ishtar a pagan goddess is who your celebrating and yes God cares the world is pay homage to a pagan god !!!! Rome is Antichrist always has been america is the image of Rome please wake up people the governments of this world sold us out to dark powers in high places long ago !!!! CERN the colliders are opening the bottomless pit while the world is asleep in the hour of which we live end days last generation perfectly called generation Z last letter in alphabet please please start with end times productions go from there find some truth 😢💔🙏
Ishtar is a pagan holiday (sun worship, worship of bare breasted fertility false mighty ones. We are to have no part in the evil deeds of darkness as YAH's people. The Father instructs us what His appointed times are in Leviticus 23
@@vee6175Only through OBEDIENCE to the Father's commands (fear of YAH) and belief in Yeshua His Son do we experience the covenant promises. Are you keeping the commands? (Of particular interest in the 4th that begins with "remember"....) So many are deceived by false doctrine and are in for a terrible awakening if they do not perform Teshuvah. Yeshua told us to "not even think He came to abolish the Torah", but to fill it full. To become the embodiment of the Father's instructions so we could be of His set apart people Yisrael. I encourage all to study Matthew 5-7 very carefully. Many came before Him saying "didn't we (do all these mighty things) in Your name? To which He says "away from Me I never KNEW you, you who work LAWLESSNESS (TORAHLESSNESS)." Those who are not keeping His commands will not be found in Him and it is a harrowing thought how many "christians" who are still celebrating pagan holidays (Ishtar, xMess, etc) rather than His mo'edim (Lev 23) are going to be in that group of "away from Me". I share this with deep sincerity and concern for people to come to truth Those defined as the "set apart" ones in Revelation 12:17, 14:12, 15:3 are those who are found guarding the commands of YAH and having belief in Yeshua Messiah. May you be of them! Shalom
Serious prayer request those that believe in the power of prayer. Please pray for my mom Kim & me (Kendrea). We are going through some major trials in life. Please pray. More importantly please pray for my mom her health is bad and she is in a lot of pain. Thank you & God bless.
@@explorergt8640 thank you so much. Just prayed for you too. So sorry you are going through cancer. Praying for healing and peace and strength for you. God is with you always and He loves you very much. 🩷
Our assurance isn’t in ourselves, it’s in Jesus Christ, our assurance is in what He did for us, our assurance is in His promise to us!! “For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Romans 10:13 Forsake all of your efforts and put all of your faith and trust in Jesus! Don’t trust in your works! Cling to the cross, for only Christ Jesus can save you.😊💕
I attended a denomination that used the exact lingo she is using and what it produced was a lot of doubt because the emphasis was on our sincerity, if we really meant business and such things like that. Focusing on my level of commitment gave me no peace, but I have peace when I focus on the work Christ did for me. You might think I'm splitting hairs, but I've witnessed many people who feel the same way from within. I'm glad she has peace and I hope it continues.
If you are questioning your being saved, be happy. An unbeliever would never have that thought. So your questioning it affirms to you that you are. I was saved when I was 12 and during a revival meeting at my church, I questioned it. I told my Pastor about it and he said it is just the process of maturing as a christian. So rejoice and be glad that you did or are.
Young lady, thanks for your videos, they're such a blessing. Please pray for my healing. I'm fighting Stage 4 Cancer; dealing with a lot of severe pain. God bless you.
Amen! I also was battling with stage 4 rare cancer and I understand the pain. I am praying for you and that God heals you the way he healed me. You will make it in Jesus name! Keep the faith, keep seeking him, call upon him and he shall save you. 🙏🏽❤🎊
Amen. I lost both of my parents to cancer. So I know it is hard. Do not give up the fight. God will look over you like he did my parents. I know they are such a better place.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been wrestling with my salvation very recently. A few years ago I was saved but I descended back into sins that I deeply regret. I believe Jesus is Lord of my life and believe in his death, burial and resurrection. Ever since I have been diligently seeking The Lord and reading His Word I have noticed how much the enemy has been viciously attacking me and I recognize that we as believers are engaged in spiritual battle on a daily basis. Would you please pray for me and also my wife who is unsaved? Thank you.
The plan of salvation is simple, but it isn't often easy. For a lot of people, the way to the cross is difficult and painful. Most of us have to hit bottom -- more than once -- before we can look up to the cross and surrender. Very few of us, sadly, walk willingly to the cross. But its the best decision you'll ever make. In fact, its the only decision. Blessings
Job had everything that the world could offer. He lost everything but his faith that was there from the beginning. That is THE example of true righteousness.
Our Sunday school lesson last week was about the crucifixion and a sentence in it that really stood out to me was, the only person that day who stood up for Jesus was a criminal. Wow. A criminal who went into that day without being saved. My Easter tradition is going to my parents house for the weekend and going to Sunrise Service at the church I grew up in, which is small in members but everyone is like family. Then eating lunch with my extended family and spending the day with them
Kaci, You have no idea how God used you with this. For years! Literally years I have battled with this and it never went away. I have constantly wrestled with it so much that I developed so much anxiety and depression and got diagnosed with OCD because of it. The day this video was uploaded was one of the worst days and I was in my living room tending to my kids and I got on my knees and cried to Jesus and begged him to help me because if he didn’t I couldn’t be a good mom because I didn’t even want to get out of bed. As soon as I was done I went to RUclips to distract my mind and this was the FIRST video that popped up. I cried like a baby listening to this. Since that day I’ve walked in freedom because I know Jesus spoke to me through you. I have some moments but I literally go back to this video. I’m so thankful for you!!!
That is one of my most favorite verses. Thank you for sharing, it shows that we can do nothing to earn our way, but just repenting, understanding our sin and calling on Jesus and believing in him as our Messiah
I got saved way back in September of 1979. I had what I consider to be a pretty experiential encounter with the Lord. I heard His voice. I felt His embrace like a warm blanket around me. When I was alone in the basement of my grandparents house I knew that He was in the room with me. I can’t explain it except to say that I just knew. In spite of this encounter, I began to question if I was really saved. After a few months, God saw what I was going through and graciously intervened. I was sitting alone and I heard Him clearly say into my mind, “Trust ME!” I realized that I was trusting my own emotions to let me know I was saved. I asked Him how. He said, Believe My Word. He is the Author and the Finisher of our faith. Trust Him to complete the work that He began when you first believed. He is faithful and will do it. He is not a man that He should lie. Sorry for not including references, but if you’re in the Word you will them. Hope this helps someone.
You can only be free from sin after you are saved from it. Good indicator of being saved so to speak is no fear. Most people have a misunderstanding of what sin is. What’s your take?

Don’t be deceived by this woman, she’s teaching a false gospel. She’s backloading works by putting our assurance on our behavior. 1 John 5:13 says that we can be assured of our salvation if we trust in Christ. How To Be Simply Saved. 1. The bad News. We are sinners. (Romans 3:23.) We deserve to be punished in hell for our sins. 2. The Good News. Jesus Christ who is God's Son died on the cross for your sins. He was buried & rose again to give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4. Romans 6:23.) 3. How am I saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. (Acts 16:31.) Faith alone in Christ alone. 4. Once saved, always saved. Jesus said in John 6:47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. Do you believe you are saved by grace & promised heaven because Jesus died for you? Yes_No_.
Thank you! I've always struggled with the fear of losing my salvation and wondering if I was salvation all. You've definitely made it clear to me that I'm saved and continue to be saved because I definitely have the desire to obey and serve Him and his people through ministry. Thank you very much for sharing this video I really appreciate it. It will worshipping this Easter Sunday much more precious to me than ever before. God bless you and your family in this beautiful season of salvation and love in Jesus 😊
I never thought about the thief on the cross as being the only one in Scripture who had assurance of salvation. Wonderful insight. Remarkable story. Thank you and God Bless.
@@J_SavedbyGrace_Eph28 faith is the assurance of things hoped for. The righteous shall live by faith. Without assurance you can’t be righteous. By grace are you saved through faith (assurance of things hoped for). Can’t be saved without assurance.
@@BingoNamo-gb8pz That would mean you’re saved today, but not tomorrow, then saved again two days later. Assurance fluctuates. Many of the most famous Christian’s were robbed of their assurance at times. People like John Bunyan, John Newton and lots more.
The gift of Salvation is the change of Heart, and that's what we seen with Jesus, as He was sheding His Blood. Giving the thief upon the Cross, the gift of Salvation. No baptizing, no Sinners prayer, no self works, no nothing, but the gift of a changed Heart. Salvation by the Love, Mercy, and Grace of the Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ ONLY AMEN.
Thank you thank you thank you for doing this video. I have a filthy mouth when I get angry and I can’t seem to stop. I’m angry at myself for disappointing my Lord and I’m frustrated that I cannot stop and I start to question whether I’m really saved and whether the Holy Spirit resides in me because I can’t stop. Thank you thank you thank you for this video.
I've just watched the film Kaci recommended of the thief on the cross on Open the Bible website. It's only an hour long but very powerful and moving. I highly recommend it. Free to watch until Easter Sunday. Thanks Kaci. Wishing you and your family a very Happy Easter. X
I've been seriously doubting my salvation lately and I want to personally thank you for this video I believe it was meant for me to see it God bless you
Thank you so much Kaci, I believe God led you to post this at the best time. I accepted Jesus when I was eight years old, but I am wrestling with this question right now.
He come to me I will in no wise cast out. John 6:37 And this is eternal life, John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
I can not remember when I saved. I always knew the Lord had my heart. I used to go door to door asking my neighbors to go to church. I was 4 5 years old. I saw angels when I was really young praying. I do not share this very often.
When you have a hard time making new friends cause you don’t go to bars clubs anymore is a sign you’re a child of God. Quit partying see how many friends you have yup if I had more hands I’ll raise them too
@sashie_washie try being visually impaired my friend see how far that takes you. I learned I’m not saved because I was a good oil boy nope it’s the blood of Jesus that saved me. Get a load of those being a visually impaired person, I see true colors of professional Christians. Been in the world and in the church building saw similar things that will leave a sinner scratching their heads y’all no different than people in the world y’all claim to be better than.
@sashie_washie It says in John chapter fifteen verses eighteen through twenty five that the world will hate you because of Christ. That they will persecute you because of Him. That if you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. Because you're chosen out of the world that is why the world hates you. So when you stop going to things like clubs , drinking etc. because of your new faith you will then lose friends. Scripture may not talk exactly about not going to clubs and stopping drinking leading to loss of friends but there are so many testimonies of this kind of thing, and similar, and people losing their friends and family once they give their lives to Christ and make active changes in their lives that don't go along with what the world loves. I myself lost friends when I gave my life to Christ and partly was because of some changes I made in my life to align with what the Word says and they didn't like that. Losing friends and family is part of the course for walking with the Lord. The original post said losing friends was a sign, as in one. He was giving some examples.God bless you.
The day I got saved was Theday when I Picture Jesus hanging on the cross that was the day that I confess my sins I begin to draw nigh to God and God draw nigh to me I had a strong desire to want to be changed so the spirit of God cast all demon spirits out and the spirit of God came in and I became born again of the spirit of God now I know that I have passed from death into life when I have love in my heart for one another I grow every day in God’s grace and then his knowledge this I know
Thank you so much for your wonderful answer to a difficult question. One that I have been wrestling with. You are so exactly right on with your answer! It makes sense to me. I have to say that I feel reassured . Thank you for addressing this question that crosses everyone’s mind. God bless you! ❤️🙏🏻
I listened to that film you recommended with Stephen Baldwin on openbible and Wow! I was so moved! Great recommendation! This message is so powerful and you did an amazing job simplifying it.
Hi, Kaci! I’m new and i just subscribed! I got saved on September 25th, 2022 at 9 years old which i am now 11 and i needed this video. I’d love for you to do a video on how to stay close to God. My easter tradition is after sunrise service my church does breakfast and then we go to pick the kids up and do our regular service! Bye and God bless you!
I just received a sign about me being predestined to be damned. I need prayers. I desperately need assurance of salvation from Jesus himself. Please pray for me that I receive this from Jesus today.
My friend, don’t listen to these people, they teach a works-based salvation that won’t save anyone. 1 John 5:13 says that if you believe on the lord Jesus Christ, you can know that you have eternal life. If you just believe on the lord Jesus Christ, you shall be saved, and you’ll never lose your salvation. How To Be Simply Saved. 1. The bad News. We are sinners. (Romans 3:23.) We deserve to be punished in hell for our sins. 2. The Good News. Jesus Christ who is God’s Son died on the cross for all of your sins. He was buried & rose again to give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift. (1 Corinthians 15:3-4. Romans 6:23.) 3. How am I saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. (Acts 16:31.) 4. Once saved, always saved. Jesus said in John 6:47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life. Do you believe that you are saved by grace and promised heaven because Jesus died for you? Yes_ No_.
Salvation is an ongoing process not an event. We have to continue in obedience and seriousness to what Jesus teaches us to be saved. Working out our salvation with fear and trembling.
@@thejuelz08 hi sister, fear simply means fear. People have twisted it to mean awe and reverence etc but we must not change the word of God. When I began reading the bible I remember seeing fear of God in every book, and even in the Psalms where it's lighter reading. Salvation is Jesus saving us from our sins. I recently found a channel from a man named Thomas Albin Holmes he has lots of videos of information that explains the word of God very well, truthfully, that not everyone wants to hear. Do have a look. I pray for you.
Thank you so much for this information and video! This has helped me understand a lot! I really appreciate you making this video. Thank you! God bless you!
Hi there. I gave my life to the Lord in 2019. But I still struggle with alcohol. I hate that I enjoy it so much. Did anyone here take a while to give up substance abuse??
Well, I don't really enjoy alcohol that much but I struggle with Faith. Like sometimes I think he doesn't love me cuz I can't imagine and had a couple bad experiences with way too much alcohol. He saved me life tho and not let me die. When I'm absolutely hopeless and alone I end up drinking so much I almost... u know. But he always made sure I won't die cuz of it. And for days I'm crying everyday, having bad dreams cuz I try to get close to him again. I think Satan tries so hard to see me breaking down and throwing the towel again rather than trust in the Lord that he truly loves me and has a great Plan for my life. Even though I believe he's alive, I just want more than just that knowing he's somewhere here. I actually don't know what to tell you but I know one thing for sure: He is Almighty and powerful. And patient and knows our struggles and pain. And I like to believe whenever we break down and cry he's crying with us through the pain.
Yeah I hear you. He is a merciful God for sure. I just question my salvation because God says we will know them by their fruits. And my fruit is me being a drunkard. Satan is sneaky and causes to doubt but the Lord's word says not to trust in our work. No amount of sobriety will earn my place in heaven, I just want to show evidence that I am saved. Thanks for your reply. I hope we both continue to grow in the Lord.
@@loveroftruth8148 and one fruit is recognizing our sin!!! If you think of it, does someone not in the Lord hates his sin? I don't think so actually. And 1 John 1:9 says: [9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Who ever was instantly absolutely perfect holy when he came to Christ? Well not me. And if we backslide and repent he is forgiving. So Im grateful if that helped you in some way, cuz it actually helped me too realizing!! And I truly believe by time he will continue to work on you until you have the strength to fully let go 🙏💕💕💕 Also I think there's something deeper to it. And he will heal you fully. Your name is lover of truth and you are absolutely loved 🙏💕 Don't give up!!
@@artifacthunter1472ohhhh really? Then how do you explain THIS verse? “Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my YOKE IS EASY, and my BURDEN IS LIGHT.” Matthew 11:28-30 KJV Salvation is so simple that even a small child can understand it. Salvation comes by believing on the lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31, John 6:47, John 3:16).
I worry all the time if I am because of my sin problems and not being close to God and all sorts of confusion a real mixture of things but all I know is I want god and to love anf honour Jesus and have that relationship with Him but I definitey lack something. Thank you for this video it helped a lot I definitely hate my sin and want rid of it im so easily overcome by it at times its horrible I just want to obey Him as you said but I barely read my bible or go to Church im going to keep fighting that though 🙂
Goldtaker I had a sin problem and finally overcame it, but hope I don’t commit it again, just think about what he went thru on the cross so we can be forgiven. Also the devil wants you to sin , he is a liar. I don’t read the Bible much either but try to read it first thing in the morning. Good luck
@@ronfish481 Yep I hate him the devil but im trying to focus on the one who loves me its hard but I want Him I do t want my sin even though part if me does which is the evil flesh I need to read my Bible in the morning its difficult because of work but I will try to find a solution thank you for the encouragement 😊
My friend, don’t be deceived by Kaci, she’s backloading works into the gospel, she puts our assurance on our behavior instead of the savior. Salvation is a free gift and unconditional upon service. That feeling of condemnation over your sin is a demonic influence, the enemy wants you to doubt your salvation and feel insecure. But the Bible says we can be 100% assured of salvation if we believe on Christ as our savior (1 John 5:13). I encourage you to check out Ralph Yankee Arnold and Onorato Diamanté for the one true gospel, and steer clear of your lordship false teachers. How To Be Simply Saved. 1. The bad News.

The word saved in Greek is an infinitive. God’s elect were saved. They’re being saved, and they will be saved. It’s not a moment time it’s the process from beginning to end. Being born again is a moment in time when God resurrects your heart which is the first resurrection, the church, it doesn’t look like anybody on here has had that happen they don’t have the truth, which is the Holy Spirit they believe in the Jesus in which Paul said was a different Jesus, a different spirit and a different gospel.
@artifacthunter1472 Hello! Born again , don't mean your saved .... and again we must endure till the end to be saved Matthew 10:22 KJV Mark 13:13 KJV also JOB had to endure James 5:11 KJV
@artifacthunter1472 Hello! It's about God Almighty Exodus 6;3 KJV you know the one that sent Jesus. You have the wrong Jesus because he is not God......
If you are in Christ, enduring is inevitable because it is not by our own strength we are saved. Philippians 1: 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. God does the work in us. He has already overcome Psalm 127 : 1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. We still sin and only God cleanses us of it. 1 John 1 : 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. Romans 7: 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
. . . and yet I STILL sin! I accept the sacrifice Christ made on the cross for me . . . I accept Him as my Lord and Savior. And yet I STILL return to sin! That's what crushes me inside, and I just don't feel like there's any way I could be redeemed. I know that a Christian is an irredeemable sinner, redeemed anyway. But we have to repent of our sin . . . and I do . . . and then I sin AGAIN. The thief on the cross COULDN'T sin again - he had no opportunity to do so. But when given that opportunity, I do. Over and over. And thus my worry.
We’ll never be without sin, Ecclesiastes 7:20 says there is not a just man on Earth that sinneth not. The only way to be saved is to believe on Jesus Christ as your savior. How To Be Simply Saved. 1. The bad News. We are sinners. (Romans 3:23.) We deserve to be punished in hell for our sins. 2. The Good News. Jesus Christ who is God's Son died on the cross for your sins.

Hi kaci! I hope you can do another video About how to get rid of the same Cycle of sin. Because as a teenager follow of christ Its really hard follow God. :( I'm also worried, I just lost my conviction lately and I've felt lonely for the past months. So I hope Somebody could pray for me. :D im looking forward for Many advices from other believers Too! :D may God bless you all.🙏
The other reason why we must answer the Lord call in our hearts when we hear it is because it is written’ Today is the day of Salvation now is the time says the Lord. When the Lord knocks on the door of your heart please open it for it truly is the greatest decision you will ever make don’t wait for the last moment
If you are walking on streets of gold; in immortality; and no longer have a sin nature to battle with; then yes, you're finally saved; but until then you are working out your salvation with fear and trembling; and at some point should receive the indwelling Holy Spirit which is the born again experience; whose function is to guide you into all truth; providing you're abiding in Christ.
I'm sorry my friend, but you have it backwards. We receive God's Holy Spirit when we believe. (Ephesians 1:13-14) Then as saved believers, in our ongoing walk with the Lord, we are to be continually filled with God's Spirit (Ephesians 5:17-18) in the same way we initially received Christ the Lord. (Colossians 2:6-7) Also, as it relates to the verse you cited in Philippians 2:12, which says, "... work out your salvation with fear and trembling", the following verse 13 shows us that it is God in us that works and that He is the one who gives us the will to work. In this way, when we yield to Him, He gets the credit, honor, and praise for what He does in and through us. When we try to secure our salvation by our own works (effort), then these works are purely selfish. As such, they are wood, hay, and stubble worthy of being burned because our motives are selfishly impure. On the other hand, when we realize that we have been totally accepted by God because of Christ's perfect work on the cross and in His resurrection on our behalf, our work for Him can be one of gratitude and thanksgiving.
@@MysterMan-in5dg No, you become Born Again after having an encounter with the tangible presences of the Holy Spirit that changes you when he comes to dwell within; to guide you into all truth; and to do the work of Sanctification in order to be saved; providing you abide in him; Matt 24; and he that endures to the end will be saved.
Acts 16:31 says Believe and you shall be saved. John 3:16 believe and have everlasting life. Yes simple. I wish your video did not have music that is distracting. Thanks for sharing. God bless. In don't yearn for assurance. It is called faith. He said it I believe it. Simple. If I jneeded assurance I would not have faith.
Well, that was easy enough. You should be able to answer my question, being that, that book alone is your way to your salvation. Knowing how, where, when & by whom should be paramount!
I gave my life to Jesus on March 16, 1994. I wasn’t sure if I was saved so I asked him to let me know by mail. I’ve been checking my mailbox for the last 30 years but so far he hasn’t responded. Maybe Heaven doesn’t have a post office.
My friend, the Scriptures are His love letter to you. In them He writes, "These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life". (I Corinthians 5:13) He also says, "And the witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son doe not have the life." (I Corinthians 5:11-12)
The story of the Easter egg is one. Our church has had an early morning brunch for as long as my wife and I have attended, so about 25 years for us; it is making Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting! (Think Cinnabon!) These cinnamon rolls are only made on super special occasions. This year we made 8-dozen Easter Cinnamon rolls baking nearly all-day Saturday. However, if we even dared coming to brunch without those Easter Cinnamon Rolls, our little Baptist church might just hold a vote to excommunicate us on the spot!! LoL! Not really. There would be questions asked where they were. Weeks ahead of Easter, we are always asked if we are going to bake the Easter Cinnamon Rolls. We love it too the house smells so good for days after! Yes, the thief on the cross proves the assurance of salvation in a nutshell. Further backed by Romans 8:31 thru 39, Paul inasmuch alludes to the fact that Nothing can separate us from the love of God... this passage has always brought comfort in that nothing can snatch me out of the hand of God. I came to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at around 8 or 9 as well; I often struggled growing up with am I or am I not saved. As I matured in my faith, I believe that it is pretty clear that God doesn't give up on his kids, if he doesn't give up is he going to kick you out of his family that Jesus himself gave himself for? The answer is an emphatic, NO, otherwise the blood of Jesus would be shed in vain.
Giving your life to Jesus does not give you the "forgiveness of sins and life eternal." "As many as received Him, to them He gives the right to become the sons of God." He does not accept your life as the atonement for your sins. He GIVES YOU HIS LIFE! "AND I GIVE TO THEM ETERNAL LIFE..."
"Lord Jesus Christ, Father God of Abraham, I want to know You, I want to be your child, I want to be saved. I want to be born again (John 3:7). Please come live in my heart, teach me Your ways. I want to be in Heaven with You whenever I leave this earth. Please forgive all my sins. Please be with me at all times and guide my steps. I want to do your will. Thank You Lord Jesus for dieing on the Cross for me." Pray every day about everything. You will never wear God out from praying. He wants to hear our prayers. God bless you.
being saved is having mind to live right (living differently than before because the Lord gives you the mind to). Usually comes from being called of God or because someone preached the Word under the anointing and the Lord talked to your mind. William Seymour said that if you do not know you are saved more than you know anything in this life, you are still in your sins. all are called to repentance. Paul said "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification". Sanctification is Christ come inside the soul and makes you pure in heart with power over the world and the flesh. the anointing to preach, teach and all other gift comes on top of the sanctified soul. anyone who turns from their way to take on the ways of Christ will receive justification and sanctification being a new creature in Christ.
John I4:23 if anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home in him. John I4:24 he who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the words which you hear are not Mine but Fathers who sent Me.
Kaci ive never to my knoalege not been christened i was never introduced to the bible never been to church or prayed i believe in god and sometimes have asked for help whats instore for me ???
Salvation today is by believing the Gospel of Christ. Rom 1:16. What is the gospel? 1 Cor 15:3-4. The moment you believe the Gospel of your salvation, you are SEALED by the Holy Spirit of Promise until redeemed. Eph 1: 13-14. This is how you are saved today in this Dispensation of Grace.
Share your Easter traditions that help point your heart toward Jesus below! Did anyone else ever have the resurrection story Easter eggs? Because those are a core mem for me and I definitely want to find some version of them to do with Judah/our future kids 🥲
I had always felt and thought that the Easter Egg hunt for kiddies was just what it is, an entertainment game for children. Second Saturday of every month we have a theme at our church for the people living with challenges all over our community and suburb. Something what they really looking forward to. So it is great fun for them and us, the volunteers. The main purpose of this is to teach the Challengers about Christ Jesus through praise, stories and song and dance and activities. So we had Easter Eggs on second Saturday of March, and who didn't like Easter Eggs. But that Saturday afternoon, I learned about the real message of the Easter Egg. The question for the Challengers was, what happens when you open an Easter Egg? I was thinking of the marshmallow Easter egg. Many of them didn't know. I didn't know either. Maybe you would know, but I was blown away by the answer one of our Challengers gave . When you open an Easter Egg, it is empty. Okay, and then? So was the tomb of Jesus Christ. First time I understood Easter. He has risen. It made so much sense to me. ❤🥰
Easter is a pagan holiday originated in Rome like ALL our holidays people are so blind lost and asleep to any truth !!! If your church celebrates Easter a false church !!! The church is like the world 😢 Ishtar a pagan goddess is who your celebrating and yes God cares the world is pay homage to a pagan god !!!! Rome is Antichrist always has been america is the image of Rome please wake up people the governments of this world sold us out to dark powers in high places long ago !!!! CERN the colliders are opening the bottomless pit while the world is asleep in the hour of which we live end days last generation perfectly called generation Z last letter in alphabet please please start with end times productions go from there find some truth 😢💔🙏
Ishtar is a pagan holiday (sun worship, worship of bare breasted fertility false mighty ones. We are to have no part in the evil deeds of darkness as YAH's people. The Father instructs us what His appointed times are in Leviticus 23
@@vee6175Only through OBEDIENCE to the Father's commands (fear of YAH) and belief in Yeshua His Son do we experience the covenant promises. Are you keeping the commands? (Of particular interest in the 4th that begins with "remember"....)
So many are deceived by false doctrine and are in for a terrible awakening if they do not perform Teshuvah. Yeshua told us to "not even think He came to abolish the Torah", but to fill it full. To become the embodiment of the Father's instructions so we could be of His set apart people Yisrael.
I encourage all to study Matthew 5-7 very carefully. Many came before Him saying "didn't we (do all these mighty things) in Your name? To which He says "away from Me I never KNEW you, you who work LAWLESSNESS (TORAHLESSNESS)."
Those who are not keeping His commands will not be found in Him and it is a harrowing thought how many "christians" who are still celebrating pagan holidays (Ishtar, xMess, etc) rather than His mo'edim (Lev 23) are going to be in that group of "away from Me".
I share this with deep sincerity and concern for people to come to truth
Those defined as the "set apart" ones in Revelation 12:17, 14:12, 15:3 are those who are found guarding the commands of YAH and having belief in Yeshua Messiah.
May you be of them!
Shalom

Our assurance isn’t in ourselves, it’s in Jesus Christ, our assurance is in what He did for us, our assurance is in His promise to us!!
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
Romans 10:13
Forsake all of your efforts and put all of your faith and trust in Jesus!
Don’t trust in your works! Cling to the cross, for only Christ Jesus can save you.😊💕
It seems odd to me that the emphasis of our assurance according to your interpretation is our works.
@@gloriajordahl1086 thats exactly what @tay6418 was NOT saying…
@@TheWholeTruth_333 Exactly!
You can’t choose God God has to choose you
I attended a denomination that used the exact lingo she is using and what it produced was a lot of doubt because the emphasis was on our sincerity, if we really meant business and such things like that. Focusing on my level of commitment gave me no peace, but I have peace when I focus on the work Christ did for me. You might think I'm splitting hairs, but I've witnessed many people who feel the same way from within. I'm glad she has peace and I hope it continues.
I do not believe in coincidence. RUclips brought me to this video in God’s perfect timing. I needed to hear this. Thank you 🙏🏻
If you are questioning your being saved, be happy. An unbeliever would never have that thought. So your questioning it affirms to you that you are. I was saved when I was 12 and during a revival meeting at my church, I questioned it. I told my Pastor about it and he said it is just the process of maturing as a christian. So rejoice and be glad that you did or are.
This is the best birthday gift ever (an upload from Kaci about something I've always struggled with 😭)
Aw praise God! And happy HAPPY birthday to you!!!
Happy birthday 🎉 !!!! I struggled as well......

Amen. I lost both of my parents to cancer. So I know it is hard. Do not give up the fight. God will look over you like he did my parents. I know they are such a better place.
Thank you so much for this video. I have been wrestling with my salvation very recently. A few years ago I was saved but I descended back into sins that I deeply regret. I believe Jesus is Lord of my life and believe in his death, burial and resurrection. Ever since I have been diligently seeking The Lord and reading His Word I have noticed how much the enemy has been viciously attacking me and I recognize that we as believers are engaged in spiritual battle on a daily basis. Would you please pray for me and also my wife who is unsaved? Thank you.
I am praying for your wifes' Salvation and for you
The plan of salvation is simple, but it isn't often easy. For a lot of people, the way to the cross is difficult and painful. Most of us have to hit bottom -- more than once -- before we can look up to the cross and surrender.
Very few of us, sadly, walk willingly to the cross. But its the best decision you'll ever make. In fact, its the only decision.
Blessings
Salvation is actually simple AND easy. Salvation is by grace through faith alone in the Lord Jesus Christ.
@@NRCRedP64 i don't disagree, but im not talking about the knowledge of it.
Job had everything that the world could offer. He lost everything but his faith that was there from the beginning. That is THE example of true righteousness.
Our Sunday school lesson last week was about the crucifixion and a sentence in it that really stood out to me was, the only person that day who stood up for Jesus was a criminal.
Wow. A criminal who went into that day without being saved.
My Easter tradition is going to my parents house for the weekend and going to Sunrise Service at the church I grew up in, which is small in members but everyone is like family. Then eating lunch with my extended family and spending the day with them
😢
Jesus bless you Lady Jesus is the only way truth and Life
Kaci,
You have no idea how God used you with this. For years! Literally years I have battled with this and it never went away. I have constantly wrestled with it so much that I developed so much anxiety and depression and got diagnosed with OCD because of it. The day this video was uploaded was one of the worst days and I was in my living room tending to my kids and I got on my knees and cried to Jesus and begged him to help me because if he didn’t I couldn’t be a good mom because I didn’t even want to get out of bed. As soon as I was done I went to RUclips to distract my mind and this was the FIRST video that popped up. I cried like a baby listening to this. Since that day I’ve walked in freedom because I know Jesus spoke to me through you. I have some moments but I literally go back to this video. I’m so thankful for you!!!
That is one of my most favorite verses. Thank you for sharing, it shows that we can do nothing to earn our way, but just repenting, understanding our sin and calling on Jesus and believing in him as our Messiah
I got saved way back in September of 1979. I had what I consider to be a pretty experiential encounter with the Lord. I heard His voice. I felt His embrace like a warm blanket around me. When I was alone in the basement of my grandparents house I knew that He was in the room with me. I can’t explain it except to say that I just knew. In spite of this encounter, I began to question if I was really saved. After a few months, God saw what I was going through and graciously intervened. I was sitting alone and I heard Him clearly say into my mind, “Trust ME!” I realized that I was trusting my own emotions to let me know I was saved. I asked Him how. He said, Believe My Word. He is the Author and the Finisher of our faith. Trust Him to complete the work that He began when you first believed. He is faithful and will do it. He is not a man that He should lie. Sorry for not including references, but if you’re in the Word you will them. Hope this helps someone.
Thank you for sharing your faith and experiences here. God[Bible] Bless you.
What do you mean you were saved? Do you think you are going straight to heaven?
This video is a blessing because I struggle with this fear almost daily of not feeling like I’m without sin enough to be saved.
You can only be free from sin after you are saved from it.
Good indicator of being saved so to speak is no fear.
Most people have a misunderstanding of what sin is.
What’s your take?

How To Be Simply Saved.
1. The bad News. We are sinners. (Romans 3:23.)
We deserve to be punished in hell for our sins.
2. The Good News. Jesus Christ who is God's Son died on the cross for your sins. He was buried & rose again to give you eternal life in heaven as a free gift.
(1 Corinthians 15:3-4. Romans 6:23.)
3. How am I saved?
Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.
(Acts 16:31.) Faith alone in Christ alone.
4. Once saved, always saved.
Jesus said in John 6:47. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that
believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Do you believe you are saved by grace & promised heaven because Jesus died for you? Yes_No_.
Thank you Jesus.
Thank you! I've always struggled with the fear of losing my salvation and wondering if I was salvation all. You've definitely made it clear to me that I'm saved and continue to be saved because I definitely have the desire to obey and serve Him and his people through ministry. Thank you very much for sharing this video I really appreciate it. It will worshipping this Easter Sunday much more precious to me than ever before. God bless you and your family in this beautiful season of salvation and love in Jesus 😊
Those who endure to the end thy will be saved. Not as easy as just saying your saved.
Yes, you are right. There are so many fooling themselves, while walking along the broad way to perdition.
I never thought about the thief on the cross as being the only one in Scripture who had assurance of salvation. Wonderful insight. Remarkable story. Thank you and God Bless.
I thought Jesus told Zacheus, “Today salvation has come to thy house.”
Everyone in spiritual Israel, has the assurance of salvation.
Um I guess 1 John 5:13 is one you glossed over? Or John 5:24? Or John 6:47.
@@J_SavedbyGrace_Eph28 faith is the assurance of things hoped for. The righteous shall live by faith. Without assurance you can’t be righteous. By grace are you saved through faith (assurance of things hoped for). Can’t be saved without assurance.

That would mean you’re saved today, but not tomorrow, then saved again two days later. Assurance fluctuates. Many of the most famous Christian’s were robbed of their assurance at times. People like John Bunyan, John Newton and lots more.
This video explains salvation so well. Thank you for sharing. I have all of those, so I am saved! Praise God for his mercy.
The gift of Salvation is the change of Heart, and that's what we seen with Jesus, as He was sheding His Blood. Giving the thief upon the Cross, the gift of Salvation. No baptizing, no Sinners prayer, no self works, no nothing, but the gift of a changed Heart. Salvation by the Love, Mercy, and Grace of the Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ ONLY AMEN.
Thank you thank you thank you for doing this video. I have a filthy mouth when I get angry and I can’t seem to stop. I’m angry at myself for disappointing my Lord and I’m frustrated that I cannot stop and I start to question whether I’m really saved and whether the Holy Spirit resides in me because I can’t stop.

Thank you so much for this video 🤍
I've been seriously doubting my salvation lately and I want to personally thank you for this video I believe it was meant for me to see it God bless you
Thank you so much Kaci, I believe God led you to post this at the best time. I accepted Jesus when I was eight years old, but I am wrestling with this question right now.
He come to me I will in no wise cast out. John 6:37 And this is eternal life, John 17:3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
I can not remember when I saved. I always knew the Lord had my heart. I used to go door to door asking my neighbors to go to church. I was 4 5 years old. I saw angels when I was really young praying. I do not share this very often.
When you have a hard time making new friends cause you don’t go to bars clubs anymore is a sign you’re a child of God. Quit partying see how many friends you have yup if I had more hands I’ll raise them too
@sashie_washie try being visually impaired my friend see how far that takes you. I learned I’m not saved because I was a good oil boy nope it’s the blood of Jesus that saved me. Get a load of those being a visually impaired person, I see true colors of professional Christians. Been in the world and in the church building saw similar things that will leave a sinner scratching their heads y’all no different than people in the world y’all claim to be better than.
@sashie_washie some people make it sound like long as you’re a good person you’re. With Jesus Christ in your life good works good deeds are in vain
@sashie_washie It says in John chapter fifteen verses eighteen through twenty five that the world will hate you because of Christ. That they will persecute you because of Him. That if you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. Because you're chosen out of the world that is why the world hates you. So when you stop going to things like clubs , drinking etc. because of your new faith you will then lose friends. Scripture may not talk exactly about not going to clubs and stopping drinking leading to loss of friends but there are so many testimonies of this kind of thing, and similar, and people losing their friends and family once they give their lives to Christ and make active changes in their lives that don't go along with what the world loves. I myself lost friends when I gave my life to Christ and partly was because of some changes I made in my life to align with what the Word says and they didn't like that. Losing friends and family is part of the course for walking with the Lord. The original post said losing friends was a sign, as in one. He was giving some examples.God bless you.
We all need Jesus. I used to be a lukewarm Christian. Now I am born again!
Kaci, what a wonderful lesson and explanation of how we can know we are saved.

The day I got saved was Theday when I Picture Jesus hanging on the cross that was the day that I confess my sins I begin to draw nigh to God and God draw nigh to me I had a strong desire to want to be changed so the spirit of God cast all demon spirits out and the spirit of God came in and I became born again of the spirit of God now I know that I have passed from death into life when I have love in my heart for one another I grow every day in God’s grace and then his knowledge this I know

Hello Kaci, thank you so much for this video, you really clarified some questions I had about my salvation.🙏
I just received a sign about me being predestined to be damned. I need prayers. I desperately need assurance of salvation from Jesus himself. Please pray for me that I receive this from Jesus today.
My friend, don’t listen to these people, they teach a works-based salvation that won’t save anyone. 1 John 5:13 says that if you believe on the lord Jesus Christ, you can know that you have eternal life. If you just believe on the lord Jesus Christ, you shall be saved, and you’ll never lose your salvation.

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved. (Acts 16:31.)
4. Once saved, always saved.
Jesus said in John 6:47.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Do you believe that you are saved by grace and promised heaven because Jesus died for you?
Yes_ No_.
Kaci, this is the greatest video I've watched on this topic. I'll surely watch the movie you mentioned
We can have assurance based on scripture, John 6:47 + 10:28, Eph 2:8-9, Rom 4:5, Titus 3:5, 1 Cor 15:3-4
Salvation is an ongoing process not an event. We have to continue in obedience and seriousness to what Jesus teaches us to be saved. Working out our salvation with fear and trembling.
Philippians 2: 12 should read Work out your own salvation in awe and reverence.
Salvation is not a process, it's an event.
@@colonalklink14 Amen if it was a process it depends on us it dosent it depends only on Christ who paid the price for us
@@colonalklink14I agree . We are not on probation with God
What does fear of Jesus really mean? I definitely believe in him. No doubt. But I’ve always been confused on what the word Fear mean.
@@thejuelz08 hi sister, fear simply means fear. People have twisted it to mean awe and reverence etc but we must not change the word of God. When I began reading the bible I remember seeing fear of God in every book, and even in the Psalms where it's lighter reading. Salvation is Jesus saving us from our sins. I recently found a channel from a man named Thomas Albin Holmes he has lots of videos of information that explains the word of God very well, truthfully, that not everyone wants to hear. Do have a look. I pray for you.
May THE LORD bless you
It's not an instant thing for any of us . Any can fall away. Have we endured till the end ? Matthew 24:13 --- Matthew 10:22
Thank you. God Bless you and your ministry.
Thank you
Thank you so much for this information and video! This has helped me understand a lot! I really appreciate you making this video. Thank you! God bless you!
Thank you so much for this! You presented this in a wonderful way.
Hi there. I gave my life to the Lord in 2019. But I still struggle with alcohol. I hate that I enjoy it so much. Did anyone here take a while to give up substance abuse??
Well, I don't really enjoy alcohol that much but I struggle with Faith. Like sometimes I think he doesn't love me cuz I can't imagine and had a couple bad experiences with way too much alcohol. He saved me life tho and not let me die. When I'm absolutely hopeless and alone I end up drinking so much I almost... u know. But he always made sure I won't die cuz of it. And for days I'm crying everyday, having bad dreams cuz I try to get close to him again. I think Satan tries so hard to see me breaking down and throwing the towel again rather than trust in the Lord that he truly loves me and has a great Plan for my life. Even though I believe he's alive, I just want more than just that knowing he's somewhere here.
I actually don't know what to tell you but I know one thing for sure: He is Almighty and powerful. And patient and knows our struggles and pain. And I like to believe whenever we break down and cry he's crying with us through the pain.
or short: You're not alone!!!!! ❤
Yeah I hear you. He is a merciful God for sure. I just question my salvation because God says we will know them by their fruits. And my fruit is me being a drunkard. Satan is sneaky and causes to doubt but the Lord's word says not to trust in our work. No amount of sobriety will earn my place in heaven, I just want to show evidence that I am saved. Thanks for your reply. I hope we both continue to grow in the Lord.
Step of disobedience to HIS COMMANDS. Prov 20 v1 Wine is a mocker and strong drink is raging and whosoever thereby is deceived is not wise.
@@loveroftruth8148 and one fruit is recognizing our sin!!! If you think of it, does someone not in the Lord hates his sin? I don't think so actually. And 1 John 1:9 says:
[9] If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Who ever was instantly absolutely perfect holy when he came to Christ?
Well not me. And if we backslide and repent he is forgiving. So Im grateful if that helped you in some way, cuz it actually helped me too realizing!! And I truly believe by time he will continue to work on you until you have the strength to fully let go 🙏💕💕💕 Also I think there's something deeper to it. And he will heal you fully. Your name is lover of truth and you are absolutely loved 🙏💕 Don't give up!!
You make this so easy, if someone is watching this ask for forgiveness and believe in Jesus and lord and savior. Simple
If you believe in the easy Jesus, the other Jesus, it will be simple. The real Jesus is extremely hard and you will lose everything.
@@artifacthunter1472ohhhh really? Then how do you explain THIS verse?
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my YOKE IS EASY, and my BURDEN IS LIGHT.”
Matthew 11:28-30 KJV
Salvation is so simple that even a small child can understand it. Salvation comes by believing on the lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31, John 6:47, John 3:16).
@@Westguitar683 Amen to that
We must repent of our sins in order to get to heaven as well!
What a charming, beautiful presentation.
Jfesus bless you Ladi Jesus is the only Way truth and Life. Amen❤️
I worry all the time if I am because of my sin problems and not being close to God and all sorts of confusion a real mixture of things but all I know is I want god and to love anf honour Jesus and have that relationship with Him but I definitey lack something. Thank you for this video it helped a lot I definitely hate my sin and want rid of it im so easily overcome by it at times its horrible I just want to obey Him as you said but I barely read my bible or go to Church im going to keep fighting that though 🙂
Goldtaker I had a sin problem and finally overcame it, but hope I don’t commit it again, just think about what he went thru on the cross so we can be forgiven. Also the devil wants you to sin , he is a liar. I don’t read the Bible much either but try to read it first thing in the morning. Good luck
@@ronfish481 Yep I hate him the devil but im trying to focus on the one who loves me its hard but I want Him I do t want my sin even though part if me does which is the evil flesh I need to read my Bible in the morning its difficult because of work but I will try to find a solution thank you for the encouragement 😊
@ronfish481 you beleive in luck? 🤔
U have ur answer, right there, especially reading the Bible. If you want to get to know the author, read it?
My friend, don’t be deceived by Kaci, she’s backloading works into the gospel, she puts our assurance on our behavior instead of the savior. Salvation is a free gift and unconditional upon service. That feeling of condemnation over your sin is a demonic influence, the enemy wants you to doubt your salvation and feel insecure. But the Bible says we can be 100% assured of salvation if we believe on Christ as our savior (1 John 5:13). I encourage you to check out Ralph Yankee Arnold and Onorato Diamanté for the one true gospel, and steer clear of your lordship false teachers.

Hello! Jesus tells us we must endure till the end to be saved Matthew 24:13 KJV
The word saved in Greek is an infinitive. God’s elect were saved. They’re being saved, and they will be saved. It’s not a moment time it’s the process from beginning to end. Being born again is a moment in time when God resurrects your heart which is the first resurrection, the church, it doesn’t look like anybody on here has had that happen they don’t have the truth, which is the Holy Spirit they believe in the Jesus in which Paul said was a different Jesus, a different spirit and a different gospel.
@artifacthunter1472 Hello! Born again , don't mean your saved .... and again we must endure till the end to be saved Matthew 10:22 KJV Mark 13:13 KJV also JOB had to endure James 5:11 KJV
@artifacthunter1472 Hello! It's about God Almighty Exodus 6;3 KJV you know the one that sent Jesus. You have the wrong Jesus because he is not God......
If you are in Christ, enduring is inevitable because it is not by our own strength we are saved.
Philippians 1: 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.
God does the work in us. He has already overcome
Psalm 127 : 1 Except the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
We still sin and only God cleanses us of it.
1 John 1 : 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
Romans 7: 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
The truth is 99.9% of modern Christendom aren't saved
Thank you so much for this video. May God bless you🫶🏼♥️
Thank you so much. Greetings from Germany
Thank you for sharing this you did a good job explaining this and it all makes sence
. . . and yet I STILL sin! I accept the sacrifice Christ made on the cross for me . . . I accept Him as my Lord and Savior. And yet I STILL return to sin! That's what crushes me inside, and I just don't feel like there's any way I could be redeemed. I know that a Christian is an irredeemable sinner, redeemed anyway. But we have to repent of our sin . . . and I do . . . and then I sin AGAIN. The thief on the cross COULDN'T sin again - he had no opportunity to do so. But when given that opportunity, I do. Over and over. And thus my worry.
Never Sin again and your good to go .
We’ll never be without sin, Ecclesiastes 7:20 says there is not a just man on Earth that sinneth not. The only way to be saved is to believe on Jesus Christ as your savior.

I need this video so much ❤ thank you Sister
Praise God! I'm so glad it was helpful 🤍
Praise the loard
Thank you for enhancing my Easter exprerience.
Hi kaci! I hope you can do another video About how to get rid of the same Cycle of sin. Because as a teenager follow of christ Its really hard follow God. :( I'm also worried, I just lost my conviction lately and I've felt lonely for the past months. So I hope Somebody could pray for me. :D im looking forward for Many advices from other believers Too! :D may God bless you all.🙏
This was a very helpful video. Thank you 💖
The other reason why we must answer the Lord call in our hearts when we hear it is because it is written’ Today is the day of Salvation now is the time says the Lord. When the Lord knocks on the door of your heart please open it for it truly is the greatest decision you will ever make don’t wait for the last moment
Kaci, what about those whom Jesus said, "I never knew you." Those who claimed they were doing the Lord's work?
Great video! I took notes. ❤
Thanks for this ❤
🙌🏼🤍
@kacinicole danmiller
If you are walking on streets of gold; in immortality; and no longer have a sin nature to battle with; then yes, you're finally saved; but until then you are working out your salvation with fear and trembling; and at some point should receive the indwelling Holy Spirit which is the born again experience; whose function is to guide you into all truth; providing you're abiding in Christ.
I'm sorry my friend, but you have it backwards. We receive God's Holy Spirit when we believe. (Ephesians 1:13-14) Then as saved believers, in our ongoing walk with the Lord, we are to be continually filled with God's Spirit (Ephesians 5:17-18) in the same way we initially received Christ the Lord. (Colossians 2:6-7)
Also, as it relates to the verse you cited in Philippians 2:12, which says, "... work out your salvation with fear and trembling", the following verse 13 shows us that it is God in us that works and that He is the one who gives us the will to work. In this way, when we yield to Him, He gets the credit, honor, and praise for what He does in and through us.
When we try to secure our salvation by our own works (effort), then these works are purely selfish. As such, they are wood, hay, and stubble worthy of being burned because our motives are selfishly impure.
On the other hand, when we realize that we have been totally accepted by God because of Christ's perfect work on the cross and in His resurrection on our behalf, our work for Him can be one of gratitude and thanksgiving.
@@MysterMan-in5dg No, you become Born Again after having an encounter with the tangible presences of the Holy Spirit that changes you when he comes to dwell within; to guide you into all truth; and to do the work of Sanctification in order to be saved; providing you abide in him; Matt 24; and he that endures to the end will be saved.
i WANT THIS TO SPREAD TO SO MANY FEARFUL Christians AND LUKEWARM Christians, AND NON Christians
Acts 16:31 says Believe and you shall be saved. John 3:16 believe and have everlasting life. Yes simple. I wish your video did not have music that is distracting. Thanks for sharing. God bless. In don't yearn for assurance. It is called faith. He said it I believe it. Simple. If I jneeded assurance I would not have faith.
I have one question, Kaci. By who or what authority do you believe the Bible is the true & inspired Word of God? God Bless!
Well, that was easy enough. You should be able to answer my question, being that, that book alone is your way to your salvation. Knowing how, where, when & by whom should be paramount!
I gave my life to Jesus on March 16, 1994. I wasn’t sure if I was saved so I asked him to let me know by mail. I’ve been checking my mailbox for the last 30 years but so far he hasn’t responded. Maybe Heaven doesn’t have a post office.
My friend, the Scriptures are His love letter to you. In them He writes, "These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, in order that you may know that you have eternal life". (I Corinthians 5:13) He also says, "And the witness is this, that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son doe not have the life." (I Corinthians 5:11-12)
@@MysterMan-in5dg I didn’t know Jesus actually wrote the Bible. I wonder if he’ll do a sequel.
@@MysterMan-in5dg Does he also want me to kill my neighbor for working on the Sabbath?
The story of the Easter egg is one. Our church has had an early morning brunch for as long as my wife and I have attended, so about 25 years for us; it is making Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting! (Think Cinnabon!) These cinnamon rolls are only made on super special occasions. This year we made 8-dozen Easter Cinnamon rolls baking nearly all-day Saturday. However, if we even dared coming to brunch without those Easter Cinnamon Rolls, our little Baptist church might just hold a vote to excommunicate us on the spot!! LoL! Not really. There would be questions asked where they were. Weeks ahead of Easter, we are always asked if we are going to bake the Easter Cinnamon Rolls. We love it too the house smells so good for days after!
Yes, the thief on the cross proves the assurance of salvation in a nutshell. Further backed by Romans 8:31 thru 39, Paul inasmuch alludes to the fact that Nothing can separate us from the love of God... this passage has always brought comfort in that nothing can snatch me out of the hand of God. I came to accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior at around 8 or 9 as well; I often struggled growing up with am I or am I not saved. As I matured in my faith, I believe that it is pretty clear that God doesn't give up on his kids, if he doesn't give up is he going to kick you out of his family that Jesus himself gave himself for? The answer is an emphatic, NO, otherwise the blood of Jesus would be shed in vain.
Congratulations Kaci 😊😊😊
Giving your life to Jesus does not give you the "forgiveness of sins and life eternal."
"As many as received Him, to them He gives the right to become the sons of God."
He does not accept your life as the atonement for your sins.
He GIVES YOU HIS LIFE! "AND I GIVE TO THEM ETERNAL LIFE..."
What can we pray to get saved?
Nothing. At least not the way most people “pray” today.
You can only seek and He will reveal His Kingdom within you…one day.
You are saved. Watch the movie.
"Lord Jesus Christ, Father God of Abraham, I want to know You, I want to be your child, I want to be saved. I want to be born again (John 3:7). Please come live in my heart, teach me Your ways. I want to be in Heaven with You whenever I leave this earth. Please forgive all my sins. Please be with me at all times and guide my steps. I want to do your will. Thank You Lord Jesus for dieing on the Cross for me." Pray every day about everything. You will never wear God out from praying. He wants to hear our prayers. God bless you.
@@vee6175 I think ya better ask Him in your heart, first
It’s a heart matter. Seek God. He will reveal Himself to you through scripture and prayer.
being saved is having mind to live right (living differently than before because the Lord gives you the mind to). Usually comes from being called of God or because someone preached the Word under the anointing and the Lord talked to your mind. William Seymour said that if you do not know you are saved more than you know anything in this life, you are still in your sins. all are called to repentance. Paul said "For this is the will of God, even your sanctification". Sanctification is Christ come inside the soul and makes you pure in heart with power over the world and the flesh. the anointing to preach, teach and all other gift comes on top of the sanctified soul. anyone who turns from their way to take on the ways of Christ will receive justification and sanctification being a new creature in Christ.
John I4:23 if anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home in him.
John I4:24 he who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the words which you hear are not Mine but Fathers who sent Me.
Kaci ive never to my knoalege not been christened i was never introduced to the bible never been to church or prayed i believe in god and sometimes have asked for help whats instore for me ???
Salvation today is by believing the Gospel of Christ.
Rom 1:16.
What is the gospel?
1 Cor 15:3-4.
The moment you believe the Gospel of your salvation, you are SEALED by the Holy Spirit of Promise until redeemed.
Eph 1: 13-14.
This is how you are saved today in this Dispensation of Grace.
