#Jesus #Christianity #Gospel
I was saved on July 23rd 1982 on a country road on the west coast of Ireland near a town called Dingle in county Kerry. I was standing there, looking out to sea and I realised that Jesus is God and at that moment I believed and was filled with His Spirit! I was 20 years old and for the first time in my miserable life I experienced a love that I had not encountered before. I have been the worst kind of Christian, unfaithful, sinful, lustful and wasteful but He has always been there, His amazing grace and love guiding me! There is no other God beside Him!
AMEN Julian His grace is sufficient! How irresistible is Jesus!?!? We are all in the same boat my dear brother (Gods ark if you will, lol) don't you worry about that, we all fail daily in so many ways, known and unknown. Love ya brother!
Amazing testimony, thanks for sharing!!!
@@yacobshelelshaddai4543 Thank you for such a lovely reply!
Love that your epiphany was so deep and meaningful - and in such a lovely setting.
A creator who would enter into a world that rejected him, be tortured mocked & killed by his enemies (his own creations that turned on him) for THEIR SAKE is a god that is deserving of worship.
How does blood sacrifice work exactly? How do you kill an omnipotent being?
Muslims believe the Quran is the eternal word of Allah, when a Quran is burned Muslims do not believe the eternal word of God is destroyed, but an incarnation of it. In the same way, the only adequate sacrifice in man's place for a perfect eternal God would be a man's version of God's standard (I.E God Himself). The only adequate offering to God for the covering of man's sin in full would be for God to incarnate as one of them & die on their behalf.
This subtracts nothing from God in the same way burning a Quran does not destroy the hypothetical eternal word of Allah. The entire Old Testament is God foreshadowing this. If you want to write of Jesus, you're going to have to explain the snake on the staff, the virgin giving birth to the everlasting father, God being pierced by his foes, the suffering messiah, the crucifixion, the ram in Issac's place... it all points to God becoming a man to pay the price for mankind's sin. @@horridhenry9920
@@Mindmartyr When you burn a book you convert paper to ashes and gasses. If you choose to attach symbolic meaning to it that’s up to you. The reality is you’ve burnt a book.
The Jesus story is a story about Jesus that many people believe. It’s not a story by Jesus.The fact that many people believe it does not make it true.
Historically and scientifically, much of it does not comport with reality.
@@horridhenry9920 can you live without blood blood is life without blood we are dead...
@@toluwalasearinola2908 Blood is important to life, along with numerous other bodily organs and components. So, what is the purpose of blood sacrifice?
He dove in to save us. That really hit me.
Lol read the Bible.
@@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMAThat's... what we do...
The one who dove in to save us was God _the Father,_ the eternal Spirit who "came down from heaven" _without leaving heaven,_ and who manifested _himself_ on earth in genuine human form, as _his own_ Son, so that he could lay down _his own_ life for us, raise _himself_ from the dead, and give eternal life to all who believe on _him._
And the _name_ of this eternal Spirit is revealed to be the name which is above _every_ name: *JESUS.*
Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God is *not* the "Second Person" of a "Trinity". Jesus Christ the only begotten Son of God *IS* God the Father manifested in genuine human form.
*1 TIMOTHY 3:16 (KJV)*
_And without controversy _*_great_*_ is the _*_mystery_*_ of godliness: _*_GOD was manifest in the flesh,_*_ justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory._
@@euston2216I am sorry but you should really study more on this.. What you say doesn't make any sense, it is just "molding" the Scripture to fit your view on the three persons of the Trinity which are distinct, can be seen even from the first page of the Bible.
@@deiu9999
Do you know what else "doesn't make any sense"? The fact that Jesus both *died* _and_ *raised **_himself_** from the dead:* _"JESUS answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days _*_*I*_*_ will raise it up"_ (John 2:19). Jesus is not just the Son who died, but also the Father who raised the Son from the dead.
God is not "three distinct persons". God is a _unipersonal_ Spirit: _"God is a Spirit: and they that worship HIM_ [singular person] _must worship HIM_ [singular person] _in spirit and in truth"_ (John 4:24). Also...
God - the one _true_ God - *IS* love (1 John 4:8,16), and HE laid down HIS own life for us (1 John 3:16), which is the greatest demonstration of love (John 15:13). The "First Person of the Trinity" did not lay down his own life for anyone, so the "First Person of the Trinity" is *not* love.......which means the "First Person of the Trinity" is *not* the one true God, but rather a _false_ God.
The one and only _true_ God is the unipersonal Spirit whose name is revealed to be the name which is above _every_ name: *JESUS.*

Great soldier of Christ David wood continue preach the Gospel ,we love in Africa
Beautiful message. I was so emotional and It’s brought tears to my eyes. Thank you Jesus for all you did and doing for me/us.
I thank God that i have left Islam and accepted Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior ✝️❤️
Brother Jamal soon is your turn to share your testimony, when you feel yourself safe enough.
So swapping cults makes you feel better?
@robertstephenson6806 The mistakes in the gospels prove them wrong. Also I don't live in the kingdom of god so there is no lake of fire.
What if u are wrong?@@truthgiver8286
@@truthgiver8286 You will believe when you're in it. I am amazed that you confirm the Bible prophecy.
The gospel is being preached to you and you reject it so you won't have an excuse before the righteous God on the judgement day.
This is beautiful. Thank you, Jesus, for all your love ❤️
Glad this is back. I embedded it on my blog where I share the salvation message and was bummed to see it gone. Thanks for the repost!

God bless you David. Thank you for all the work you do for the Kingdom.
Real support for real effort
I truly thank God for all the Christians preaching the gospel. You may never hear some say it, but lives are changed by the Holy Spirit through your work.❤
I pray for you all❤
David I’ve been a Christian for many ,many years and the way you explained the Gospel is hands down the BEST presentation I’ve ever heard Brother Bravo. May God Bless you and keep you.
You've been a Christian for many many years, and yet can't read for yourself what the gospel is?
It's in the Lord's prayer,
"thy kingdom come"
It's declared by Christ himself. Mt. 24:14
If you don't believe the WORDS of Christ, who are you believing?
More clear, Mark 1:14-15
Paul, Acts 28:31
You like the way the video put another gospel, fine. Just don't call it the gospel, as your savior says what the gospel is, not an apostle or video, bless your heart for the many many years of not reading your Bible for yourself, what the gospel is. You're not alone. You are just part of a deceived majority, deliberate in you obsession with being the subject of
1 John 2:3-4.
Bless your heart.
Your embrace of Sunday keeping, has affected your embrace of other non biblical frauds, like the teaching of salvation, being called the gospel.
Many many years. Holy crap, how could someone be a professing Christian many many years, and NOT know what the gospel is, while having access to a Bible, the whole time?
I would be embarrassed.
Except why would God’s wrath falling on an innocent man be considered justice?
God doesn’t have to punish every sin. His mercy is not bound by any such concepts, and if he were bound by that something, why are we worshiping him, and not the higher power he is hypothetically bound by?
St Athanasius said “the Son of God became man so we might become God.” He took on full humanity while being fully divine to bridge the gap of sin that we created. He died to defeat the hold that death had over us. He was baptized to cleanse the waters of the earth so we might be born of water and spirit. He did many things to save us, but I don’t think “taking the wrath of God upon himself” was one of them. In the old testament, a sin offering was not ritualistically slain. There were two goats. One goat was burnt as an offering, but it was slain outside of the tent beforehand, and all the blood and impurities were disposed of before offering it to God. The sins of the people were placed on other goat and that goat was driven into the wild away from the people, and not killed. When Jesus took on the sin of the world, he did not suddenly become sinful himself. During his life, when he healed people of disease and sin, he did not become sinful, the sins were forgiven and no one was punished. If Jesus can forgive sin without punishing us, than I would think we can all agree that God does not need to punish every sin. Sin doesn’t make God not want to be around us, it makes it dangerous for him to be around us because of how holy He is.
@Mahhkz Who considers the wrath of God on an innocent man justice? The wrath of man on an innocent man, isn't justice either. The latter is what happened to Jesus. Jesus knew it would happen.
For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh : That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit
Romans 8:3-4
Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.
Collosians 2:15
For scarcely for a righteous man will one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone would even dare to die.
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:7-8
@allieoop2908 He who says, "I know him", but keepeth not his commandments, is a LIAR ,and the truth is not in him.
1John 2:3-4
Blessed are they that keep the commandments of God
Rev. 22:14
Keep the commandments.
Mt. 19:17
Love God. 22:36-40
Live by the ten commandments.
Mt 4:4
Throw in Rev. 12:17, and 14:12.
Then admit the Bible contradicts, or the LAW declared by Christ (new covenant, which is the ten commandments, minus the 600 plus laws through Moses), is valid, good, and HOLY.
Keeping Sunday gets you counted least in the kingdom.
Better to obey God than men.
“Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.”
2 Corinthians 9:15 KJV
Amen.
This video meets me at the right point in my life.
God bless you brother
Amen. It doesn't matter how many times I hear it. It still gets me every time.
I also saw this from the Acts17. What a classic.
Ditto
I have listened and laughed with you many times David but this time... I heard the voice of an angel and my soul wept... The Lord be with you and your family...
These were tears of joy, I am sure, Sister!
Beautifully done! God bless!
One of the most amazing presentations of the Gospel! Thank you David. Please use this towards taking Marie and the boys out for a treat. In agape love. Matthew
This video should go viral , to open up the eyes & hearts of all .
Amen Jesus is Lord ❤
Wow! That was beautiful David.
I love this side of you man.
I see you on your livestreams and you are one crazy Dizzle. But then, you go and put out a video like this and I'm simply blown away by your faith.
Thanks David.
❤ ✝️
even though the flesh side of me loved his live stream joking version, it is however this gentle voice full of compassion and truth that will speak to the depth of a soul of a muslim, brother david, thank you for all you do to reach the lost, i pray more christians will be seeing their muslim neighbors( no matter how confused they are) first as a lost soul that Christ had died for , not just a person to argue with. shalom
Thank you so much for your love, grace, and mercy Jesus 🙌❤
Amen 🙏🏼
Beautiful ❤️
One day we'll meet Jesus and he will have tears in his eyes because he's so happy we're finally home. I love when he tells the man on the cross beside him that today you'll be with me in paradise. Thats what we have waiting for us one day
Thank you for this video. Jesus I thank you for giving your life to save us ❤
Jesus' prayer to the FATHER in John 17, always, always, always tears me up!! There is so much LOVE in that prayer. 😢😢😢
❤❤❤
Hi David, it is so good...May many lives be saved by the Word. Love from Myanmar
The Gospel made easy. Not simple, but easy. Thumbs up for another great video.
At this moment of writing, tears are rolling down my cheeks. What a wonderful explanation David.
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 1 John 4:9-11 ❤✝️
Met & saw David at a conference last weekend along with many other speakers. David was great in person. Actually being at a conference is even better than watching it online. I had a GREAT time.
Sharing. Perfectly done. Thank you, David.
When you start your morning just by His Holy name, and that indescribable feeling of love that takes over you. I thank You Lord Jesus, for that feeling, I want to thank You Lord for bringing me and family out of the cult of islam by making us come across people like David Wood, I want to thank You Lord for showing me Your unconditional love, I want to pray for everyone, may the Holy Spirit surround you and guard you all from the evil that lurks around to cause you any harm, mentally physically and emotionally, in the name of Jesus, I pray, Amen! 🙏✝️❤️
May God bless you and your family brother david. Thank you for all you do.
This is really wonderful, and you have an amazing voiceover tone. God bless your family and your ministry, David,
Thank you for these kind of videos. I really appreciate them.
Is there a chance we can ask you a question and you making a video of Q&A or something?
I'm gong on Liturgies on Sundays and have been talking to priest, but some answers seem odd, however they don't have so much time to go back-and-forth so I end up with their response which I don't find compelling even if I want to.
Thank you for your work. Greetings from Serbia. ☦
Such an amazing video ❤
Glad you think so!
You are a shining example how God saves us who feel we are a piece of coal but are actual diamonds. Your intelligence and fearlessness is above reproach.
This is SUCH a good way to explain the gospel!
The beginning of your life DW was exactly how it was supposed to be for you to do what you’re doing now. God bless you brother.
Nice. This is an answered prayer. I've been looking to learn more about the gospel and Christianity from this channel.
You and IP have a gift for communicating it in a way that is close to perfect for my wife and I.
Thanks!
Thank you so much for this simplistic way of explaining the Gospel. It's perfect!
Beautiful and concise as always. Thank you Jesus for your saving grace!
Just tears and eternal joy... It truly is good news! Thanks DW
Speechless and in tears. Amazing love ❤❤. The love only God has the capacity to give.
This is like hearing the story for the first time, only better.
The living gospel good news for a dying world...
JESUS CHRIST said I came that you may have life and have it MORE abundantly..
Thanks Dr DW for this very simple yet very informative, intellectual and deep presentation of the gospel. Been scanning RUclips for something like this to share. Many Many thanks to you. God bless you and your family.
Fantastic Presentation. God does what God does. Amen.♥️🙏✝️🤗👍♥️
One of The Best Gospel Tracts in electronic form I have ever Seen. Thanks David for being a doer and all that you bring as a believer.
Absolutely mind blowing that people hear this and throw it away with both hands for their own false gods and their own thoughts. 😢
Jesus Christ IS Lord. Hallelujah ✝️🙌💕
That was refreshing to the soul Praise God!!
Thank you brother i was just thinking how can i preach the gospel to people in the best most easy and influential way, and your vidoe showed up thanks for this masterpeice may Lord Holy Spirit Ji guide you forever and love of God the Father be upon you and the Grace of Christ the Lord be with you.
That was beautiful and amazing. Thank you. Your personal story & your energy are so inspiring.
David, you are blessed and was chosen to spread the gospel. Love you brother in christ
Brother.. no words. This is the true gospel of grace brought by the Lord
This is brilliant - I love it when the Gospel comes to the 3rd grade class. At this point, there is no excuse for not understanding it.
As a non Christian, wow, thanks.
I'll pray for you we'll meet in His Kingdom.
As a non Christian, blood sacrifice makes no sense. He could have just forgiven Adam and Eve as parents forgive their children.
You have a low concept of God's integrity, @@horridhenry9920, that's why.
@horridhenry9920 Let's say it's a little more complicated.
God is good and Holy. Evil and sin cannot exist in His presence.
This is something that scares even Christians when I put it this way. The earth and man was a miraculous creation of God to trap a rebellious spiritual being in a material prison.
The first animal slaughtered was after the Fall of Adam, who failed to protect Eve from the temptation of the serpent. In fact, the nakedness of man and the cunning of the serpent, find their origin in the same word. The animal that was slaughtered was to clothe Adam and Eve before they were banished from Eden.
Eating meat was not allowed until after the Flood, which means, again something many Christians are shocked by, we actually know that Noah did not eat meat before the Flood.
What does one have to do with the other? The Lamb of God, the ultimate sacrifice to reconcile mankind to God again. And it's not even humans who provided the sacrifice, God gave His Own Son because He love peoples so much.
And don't get caught by Christians who would claim that hell already exists. Hell will not become a reality until that spiritual being mentioned earlier is thrown into the lake of fire.
God first wants to clothe as many people as possible with Jesus blood so that they will not end up in that lake of fire with him.
In summary, may you interpret it as why things happened as they did in the Garden of Eden. Hoping that someday these words will bring you to Jesus. Though not today, I hope soon.
As a non Christian, DON'T BUY what the video says is the gospel. It's just the message/ teaching of salvation, being called the gospel. The gospel is clearly declared by Christ himself, and it AIN'T what the video says.
If you're not a Christian, but want to know what the gospel is, you can read it for yourself, after all, it's CHRIST who declared it.
Mt. 24:14
Mk. 1:14-15
Acts 28:31
Ever heard the Lord's prayer? The gospel is in it, "thy kingdom come".
Don't believe professing Christianity without the certainty of scripture, as there is a multitude of denominations and doctrine to confront.
This video, is yet another status quo gospel according to Christianity, while the true gospel can only be that declared, and taught by Christ.
Beautiful video ❤️
I love you Jesus and I thank you with my soul God for all you have done. Just felt it couldn’t hurt to make it public 🖤🙏 may God bless you all with salvation and eternal life.
Brilliant! Jesus is Risen! Read the GOOD news of the Bible today!
No matter how wonderful we think we are, we will never be good enough to stand be our righteous God we need his righteousness and that righteousness only comes by faith in Jesus Christ. Amen
Very inspiring. Thank you Dr. David Wood for sharing this 🙏

Hi David, I am not sure why but I believe God wanted me to tell you that Hatun needs to be protected. I will keep her and all who stand for Christ in this difficult time in my prayers, perhaps we can all pray for Heaven’s Angel armies to stand with you all as you boldly preach the gospel and act as the hands and feet of Jesus breathing new life into this fallen world. 💛 🙏🏾
Hallelujah. There is no one like our God. May His Holy Name be exalted in all the earth.
More of this please
I gave my life to Jesus when I was 12. I understood the gospel on a surface level then. About a year later, God gave me a vision of me in an electric chair about to be executed for my crimes. Then Jesus walked in and told the men to let me go and he’ll die in my place. I have never been the same since. Praise God for taking my punishment!
Wonderful stuff David, this was eye-opening as well as awe-inspiring, thanks for spreading the good word of God.
Very nicely done, outstanding video.
Very clear presentation of the Goodnews Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Thank you Lord Jesus.
This is awesome David... You're perfect for this, keeping it simple With tons of clarity.... Great job❤ God bless you and your family😊
I am inundated this morning with warning videos,because we must stay focused on Jesus, and His word , very specifically at this time in which we are apparently in those end times. ..we must take heed. Then,I noticed the David Wood video, here and quicky rushed to this one , also. I feel I did that because of the personal outreach that David has offered us via all.of those live videos, thru the years ; like a friend. And, isn't that what Jesus wants? Love one another. 😢 ❤️ All good things are from abôve.
I pray that ppl will be blessed from this concise video about the reason we must accept the gift. And be with Jesus
"But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all."
