- Christians know that Jesus died for our sins. But what does His perfect life have to do with our standing before a holy God? In this message, R.C. Sproul gives a clear analysis of the gospel and encourages us to never compromise on the truths of the Christian faith.

"I’m afraid that in the United States of America today the prevailing doctrine of justification is not justification by faith alone. It is not even justification by good works or by a combination of faith and works. The prevailing notion of justification in our culture today is justification by death. All one has to do to be received into the everlasting arms of God is to die.”
-- R. C. Sproul
"Almost every natural man that hears of hell, flatters himself that he shall escape it."
-- Jonathan Edwards
“According to the men of the world, few are going to hell; According to the Bible, few are going to heaven.“
― J. C. Ryle
"People who go to hell deserve to be there. People who go to heaven do not deserve to be there. The first is justice, the second is grace."
-- Steven Lawson
Miss you R.C…..your alive!!! We are the ones that are dead…one day those who know JESUS and JESUS alone……will be with you with our SAVIOR ❤️
Wow. What can you say. God is so gracious. Praise Him for using this man to deliver such a convicting message.
Amen
Wonderful message! It is a frightening thought that people believe that they can enter heaven through good works. Praise God that He has provided the righteousness of Christ, which He imputes into the account of those who believe. It is on that basis, of righteousness imputed that we can approach God
I love u Dr Sproul

" For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life"
If anyone thinks the Bible is the "word of God" and not ancient authors speaking for their imaginary god, they need to read the below article from a critical Biblical scholar and spend some time reading the other articles on his website. Basically the Bible is Israelite propaganda.
"So for example, when we read carefully what Yahweh says in the book of Leviticus, namely that the Aaronids (the sons of Aaron only), are high priests contrary to the Levites, that they alone are Yahweh’s mediators and the Levites are reduced to mere ministers of the Aaronids, that only through sacrifice can one atone for sins and not confession as preached by the Levites, or more precisely the Levite’s Yahweh, etc., *it can be no coincidence that in these laws and commandments,* ***which are placed on the mouth of Yahweh,*** *that Yahweh himself is presented advocating and legitimating the very views and beliefs of the specific priestly guild writing the text, and, contrary to the views and beliefs of their rivals, the Levites and the Levite’s Yahweh!* We will examine this more closely when we get to the contradictions in these books. But in short, this was the function of ancient literature, and we are allowing these ancient texts to speak for themselves. *In this particular case, the Levites and Aaronids wrote specific texts that each advocated their religious beliefs, views, and their position as high priests* ***by writing these sentiments directly into the mouth of their god!***
But just studying the Bible alone, scientifically, affords us the occasion *to see that many of these so-called words of Yahweh are* ***actually the very words of the texts’ authors.*** When we see numerous texts employing this ancient literary technique, and moreover, ***presenting Yahweh as the spokesperson for their own views and agenda,*** *and* ***contrary*** *to Yahweh’s other words in other texts written by other authors employing the same technique,* how can one conclude otherwise.
In other words, when in the composite text that we now call the Bible we find: Yahweh declaring that only Aaronids can officiate as his priests and Yahweh declaring that all Levites can officiate as high priest; Yahweh declaring that sin is atoned through confession and Yahweh declaring that sin is only expiated through the sacrificial cult, no exceptions; Yahweh declaring that he gave laws and commandments at Sinai and Yahweh declaring that he only gave the Ten Commandments at Sinai; Yahweh commanding to exterminate all the Canaanites without pity and Yahweh declaring to tolerate them and live in their midst; Yahweh declaring that the wilderness generation were disloyal and rebellious and Yahweh declaring that they were a paradigm of loyalty and faith; Yahweh declaring that he may be offered sacrifices at any altar and Yahweh declaring that there is only one altar where sacrifices are to be offered up; Yahweh declaring that the people saw him at Sinai and Yahweh declaring that they only heard his voice; Yahweh declaring that circumcision is an eternal covenant and keeping the land depends on observing this very commandment and Yahweh declaring the Mosaic laws as the covenant and keeping the land is dependent on keeping these laws; Yahweh declaring that he dwells in the midst of the people and Yahweh declaring that he only resides in heaven; Yahweh commanding Passover to be celebrated by all at Jerusalem and Yahweh commanding it to be celebrated at each person’s home; Yahweh commanding that animals for consumption must be ritually sacrificed and Yahweh commanding that they don’t have to be sacrificed ritually, etc. ***one must conclude that Yahweh is being used by these authors, each with their own contrary views and beliefs as a spokesperson for each of these authors’ agendas.*** These are all the personal, and competing, views, theological beliefs, and religious systems of our biblical authors. And this is only the tip of the iceberg."

1 thing I got from EWTN’s version is that Charles V didn’t care either way, he only wanted the funding to fight against the Turks
I feel my understanding is a bit different, and probably wrong if course. If the wage of sin is death, Jesus dying on the cross brought balance by paying my wage. My own death isn’t enough ti pay my wage since my sun has caused the death of so many, but Jesus being perfect is able to cover the cost of all the imperfect. Now, I still need to die in order to be transfigured upon resurrection into a holy being that can be permitted to be in the presence of The Holy Ghost. So standing before God in judgement we say, Christ your son has paid my wage of sin, and transfigured me into a being worth of being in heaven by his grace.
Wish they all collars white (preachers)will follow his great Steps… in Christ Jesus
"The entire fleet"
Another event of great curiosity
An innocent man
Man who said He is God and King
Declared innocent by Rome
Badly beaten to an inch of death
ridiculed spat upon and hated even in His innocence
Bearing His cross on his openly bleeding back
Down the narrow pathway
To Golgotha to be crucified
Not for His sins but for the sins of others
Forensic justification
What Jesus came to do? Before these words, things get problematic, don´t they?:
There is a problem with the "Christ came to die for us, to save us" theology. Why?
Christ makes two statements which are contradictory with this purpose:
Before the cross: Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me, but not my will but yours be done. ("my will"??);
On the cross: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? (But wasn't dying on the cross the reason for Christ's coming, to save us? ).
Does Christ limit himself to fulfilling the Father's will, against his own will? But then what was the purpose of coming to Earth? Only God the Father really wanted to save us?
There is something here that is not right! We still lack a lot of information.
The "Lord´s Recovery" or "Local Church" erroneously teaches that God approves of only one way to establish a valid church. They claim there should be only one church per city, like there was in the 1st century: the church in Ephesus, the church in Corinth, so today - the church in Los Angeles, the church in London. Anything else is a division and not blessed by God.

MALE: He looked over me all my 17 years, and I've been nothing but good so I have every right to be in there.
WOW! The arrogance of human beings! I hope this kid repented in the years after that video was filmed!
Bob believes that an ancient collection of barbaric stories from Bronze Age Palestine offers the only way to live.
I disagree and so does most of humanity.
You can tell that to Jesus when you bow before Him after your death
And professing to be wise, you become a fool
You are standing against dozens if not hundreds of prophets sent by God to proclaim his word, over a time span of more than 1500 years. All you have is a rejection without refutation -- if you may cognitively confidently live with that.
The deeper problem of your position is that you distrust what you have heard, not that what you have heard isn't trustworthy. Otherwise, you would have engaged with the content of the video, instead of a mock. But according to this "ancient collection" (ancient doesn't mean "bad" or "irrelevant" , by the way), God loves his creation and offers a way that you may return to him.
Bronze Age? Most of the Old Testament and the entire New Testament was written after the Bronze Age. As for most of humanity disagreeing with what is written. The Bible says that the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life. And wide is the gate and way is broad that leads to destruction.
As R.C. Sproul says that the only way to heaven is perfection. It will either be your perfection or Jesus perfection.
