The whole idea of "repentance" is hardly ever mentioned in conversations? When I said "I do" to my wife of 24 years, a change occurred in my life. I can no longer do as I did before I married her. Wonder what she'd say if I told her I'd be faithful to her 364 days out of the year? She deserves full devotion! Imagine God as Creator, deserves every bit as more. Blessings, dear friends
@HansmeisterSchulz What an awesome parallel you made with that concept! Thank you, my brother! God bless you AND your wife with many more years together! #BLESSED #Godisgood #bethelight #prayerwarrior #JesusSaves #HigherDestiny #SaltandLight #ChildoftheKING 🧂🕯✝️🎣❤🙏🏻👑
@@davidmorris9668 Indeed, the "problem" only occurs when metaphors r taken too literally. Not every part of a metaphor is meant to have a spiritual meaning and the metaphors lose their meaning when we do that. The same applies to God's Word, we should never build doctrine based off of secondary details in metaphors.
Amen sister! There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18
I agree and he has clearly thought about spiritual things and could articulate his ideas and questions. I love how Ray gently and clearly corrects his (any many others, I'm sure!) misconceptions.
I often say "get the Bible back into church". However I do know people carry their Bibles in but I mean LIVE by the Bible and do not lean on your own understanding.
No such thing as 'living by the bible' unless you're a Pharisee. Remember them? They killed Jesus. You NEED the holy spirit or you don't belong to Jesus Christ, Rom.8:9.
@@xolclint Your ignorance astounds. How do u even know the Holy Spirit except for God's Word? How could u tell the difference between God's Spirit and any other spirit except for God's Word? U think the Pharisees lived by God's Word? U obviously know nothing of the Pharisees and what they taught. They held onto oral traditions not God's Word. Jesus Christ lived by God's Word. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Matthew 4:4 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 It is Scripture that is able to perfect and furnish a man. It is Scripture that rebukes, and teaches. Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 2 Timothy 2:15 It is the Bible that we study to show ourselves approved. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. James 1:22 We are to be doers of the Word, in other words we are to live by the Word. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17:17 It is by His Word that we are sanctified. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. Luke 11:28 That is to live by it.
“Are you a good person?” The correct answer would be, “no! That’s why I need Jesus!” The false converts don’t seem to think that... please pray for them!
@@pdrtplanet Amen, anymore is a key word in this! It's also important to continue with daily sanctification with the Lord, because the enemy will continue to tempt us with various forms of sin. The Christian walk is never easy, but He rewards us along the way, and of course in eternity! Ephesians 6:10-18 is one of my favorite passages about the spiritual battle and the armor of God :) How has your walk been, struggles? Breakthroughs?
He says he's a believer, but then air quotes the word sin as if it's not really a thing. You can't be a true believer and not admit sin. It's real and we are in fact all guilty of doing it. Prayers for him.
The paradigm shift analogy is so good. I lived that- I lived in sin as a false Christian but I didn't know the Spirit, the living word bc PRIDE was in the way. Through repentance and Godly sorrow I had a personal encounter that opened my eyes to everything I couldn't see for years. I saw all of my sins and how they cause the path I ended up on and how they kept me from hearing God. Now my world is upside down and I'm in love with Jesus.
I have alot I could say but I'm kind of drained from my own struggles, imperfections and daily battles so I'll just ask you and anyone who reads this comment to please pray for my family and I. Again thank you so much!
“If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.” 1 John 1:6-7 NIV You got it brother. You have to do a complete 180 degree turn from the person you were to the person God wants you to be.
Bless you, Kenny! I don’t know you - I don’t know where you are with God, but no matter where you are, pursue God with all you have, brother! There is so much God desires to show us if we but avail ourselves in complete surrender. Jesus loves you, man!
@@rickyoder32 Thank you. I'm a backslidden Christian that was brought up in a Baptist church where they taught "once saved always saved." I'm not saying it's not accuate, it could be true to some degree but for me living that way alowed things to get really bad. I lost both my mother and father to cancer, I got with someone I thought was saved and was blessed with my son. She ended up doing every evil thing she could to me exept kill me. We separated and I took her to court and got full custody of my son. I'm not going into anymore detail about her because I don't want to slander her like she has me. I still pray for her from a safe distance. I've had both a rough and blessed life but I trusted the wrong people and got hurt in the process. I started having nightmares about gping to hell and suffering from sleep parralises or night terrors as some people call them. I wasent sure if this was a demonic attack or God trying to get my attention and let me know that once saved always saved was and is a lie and that I was in trouble if I kept living in sin as a hypocrite living a double life. So, I prayed without ceasing eveyday and kept my faith as I slowly tried to get away from addictive behaviors that I now knew where separating me from God. Everything stopped for almost two months and the nightmares and night terrors ceased. I will never give up and I consider what happened to me a blessing because it made me realise that this spiritual war that Jesus talked about when he said we wresle not against flesh and blood but against principalities in the air of evil in high places, he meant what said and it's very true. He was addressing everyone not just the lost!!! Now I take sin very seriously and try my best to stay on the narrow path that leads to heaven rather the than the wide one where everyone I know except my son is walking on as they seem to not care where they are headed. The wide path that leads to destruction and hell seems to be where most people gather, walk and call out to me. I've learned the hard way that just like job and the many other believers that where persecuted hated and murdered like Jesus because they spread the gospel and told the truth I too am Satan's enemy and if I have to make a decision I'd rather die for the truth than live for the lie. I was being targeted by God's advisory because when I got saved I became his enemy as well. Everyday is a spiritual war for souls and some don't even know or believe it is raging and they are in the middle of it thinking they are safe. Satan had Jesus killed and all of those who continued to preach the gospel and if we spread the word without fear of being hated and persecuted we are picking up our own crosses and following Jesus wherever our faith takes us. I know the devils not done with me, he's not going to leave me alone just because I follow Christ, he wants me dead or even worse ...ignorant of his existance, zomified by my phone and brainwashed by this satanic world. He never takes a break, evil never rests so don't get too comfortable. Anyway, this is my story and the reason I said pray for my family and I is because my family are all decieved and have created their own God that would never judge anyone of their wickedness. I think we all know people that cherry pick the bible and leave out the white thrown judgement. That used to be me but God literally woke me up. I've been having nightmares again and night terrors after two months of peace that's why we all could use some sensire prayer and I will pray for you all like I always do. I guess my message is never give up no matter how bad it gets!!! The devil wants you to give up and think your doomed. That's a lie from a lier!!! As long as you are alive and have breath in your lungs you still have a choice and a chance to take this all more seriously, look inside your own heart and rebuke it's evil nature in Jesus Christ's name. I feel the Lord's presence now and before I stuggled alot to get where I am. Jesus did everything he possibly could in his life, ministry, death and resurrection to make sure we had a savior that is him to save us. We have to put forth some effort on our part to reach up to his outstreched arms, repent and turn away from all wickedness or at least try. Willful sin is known sin, the sin we get used to and think is a lifestyle instead of an abomination. It's everything that we know we are doing wrong that is against Christ and everything that Christ suffered and died to atone/forgive for us on the cross!!! Ignorance is bliss and knowledge from God can direct us to the Lord and rightousness but be aware because the doctrine of demons/false knowledge like the lies of Satan himself will lead to madness, suicidal thoughts and ultimately hell. Choose this day who you will serve and serve the one true God with all that you where created to be, Even if it leads to persecution and death. Eternity awaits everyone and we who know good from evil cannot claim ignorance anymore. Pick up the sword of truth everyday against false philosophies and protect yourself with the shield of faith because we are in a war until Jesus himself crushes Satan and casts him into the pit. Be sober and vigilant, the devil dosent just came to kill and destroy the lost and confused he comes to kill and destroy all who can be decieved and he hates Christians more than anything because we share our faith with those who need guidance out of bondage!!! God bless you all I just had to let it all out.
@cassandra 💯 right. It’s all God’sgrace. Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 1 Corinthians 3:5-7
IT'S SO EASY TO WITNESS TO FALSE CHRISTIANS, JUST ASK WHERE IS THEIR RELIGION FOUND IN THE BIBLE! IF IT'S NOT FOUND THAN, THEN THEY ARE NOT PART OF JEHOVAH'S CHOSEN PEOPLE! (ISAIAH 43:10)
@@bonnieol I WISH IT WAS THAT SIMPLE, BUT JEHOVAH MAKES THE RULES, HENCE THE ISERALITES WHO WAS GOD CHOSEN PEOPLE AND IF YOU WEREN'T PART OF THAT COVENANT, THEN YOU WEREN'T CONSIDER HOLY OR WORTHY!

(EXODUS 19:5) Now if you will strictly obey my voice and keep my covenant, you will certainly become my special property out of all peoples, for the whole earth belongs to me. 6 You will become to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words that you are to say to the Israelites
Thank you Living Waters. This is a FANTASTIC WARNING to all Christians. This is what happens when we give people 'a religious experience' or a 'special prayer' to say to receive all these 'benefits' that come with becoming a Christian. When we tailor what we say to appeal to the heart of sinful man we literally gut the gospel until it is no longer the good news. Imagine if this man continues in his way and dies and stands before God to face judgement, will he think the message he received in his 20s was good news when he is told, "Depart from Me, I never knew you?" In this man's case, he has definitely heard the genuine good news now at least once and if he repents and puts his faith and trust in Jesus and stands before God on judgement day, he will be so grateful someone loved him enough to tell him the truth. We must be faithful. It's our mission to seek out the deceived and deliver to them the message of the gospel. Not this false message that says God is (=) love and His only desire is to serve us and give us everything our hearts have ever wanted, oh and by the way, He weeps over all the bad things happening in the world, but He's too weak to do anything about it. That's not the God of the Bible. And He didn't become a man and die for our sins so we can have warm fuzzy feelings and our best life now. We need to understand sin twisted everything and made it perverse. Everything is corrupted and dying, because of our sin. And yet we tailor our message to the lost to appeal to their hearts? Have we forgotten or failed to consider Jeremiah 17:9-10? 9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? 10 I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings." Oh that we would stop witnessing to others using the corrupted reasoning of man and rely completely on the incorruptible pure and holy word of God. How could we ever improve upon God? Never should it be said, and yet, isn't that what what are doing when we "edit" the gospel to present to the lost? No, the word of the Lord is sufficient and cannot be improved upon, Hebrews 4:12: "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
This false belief of Jesus condemning the world except one ethnicity is why the so called hebrew israelites you see on the streets slandering white people as Esau are nearly unsavable
We used to have a phrase for that. Those who "want the name without the game". In other words, they like the "goodness" other people confer on them because they call themselves a "Christian" without having to change anything about their lives. They do not repent. They do not trust Christ like we'd trust a parachute or a life-preserver. They don't read the Bible and let the Holy Spirit convict them of sin so they can repent and trust in Christ's righteousness. "God, be merciful to me, a sinner" Luke 18:13
Have you received the Holy Spirit? If so, then you are saved. Water baptism has not bearing on salvation, but to be reborn in the Spirit; that is to receive the Holy Spirit. Then you are saved and sealed for redemption.
@@MightyWarriorCoalition yes! In order to see the Kingdom of God, you must be born again. Born of water and the Spirit. Baptism doesn’t save you, but it symbolizes repentance. Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
when did you become a Christian ? I am taught that you have to be saved before you get baptized . Baptism is to symbolize the death, burial, and the resurrection. Luke 3:3, Mark 16:16.
@@macelcanterbury693 I’ve been a Christian for most of my life! Baptism symbolizes repentance. We are buried with Christ in baptism. Baptism doesn’t save you.

@Redeemed ik that we have to be righteous but i was saying what im pretty sure Jesus said, because we have all committed sins and done wrong things except God
Until God revealed to me the explicit wickedness and evil thoughts I had with an unbelieving heart towards wrath I was on my way to hell as a professing "false" Christian. Thank God, for his mercy! 🙏 forever thankful 🤲
"Can you imagine if we removed law from America?" Well, yes Ray, now we can. I've been binge watching these videos all day. Thank you sir, this is saving my life. I asked God a few weeks ago for help because I knew I needed help. Here I am. This is what I needed. ❤️ Thank you God.
I understand! I get nervous and my mind draws a blank, then I get alone, and it all comes back to me. I was the Most Shyest Girl in high school many decades ago, yet God is bringing me out of my shell, little by little! 🐚👧👵📖🛐✝
nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; since by the works of the law no flesh will be justified. (Galatians 2:16)
James 2:14-26 New American Standard Bible (NASB) 14 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? 17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself. 18 But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” 19 You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. 20 But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? 22 You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God. 24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
Hi James Christ is not a minister of lawlessness...........READ 1John he who continues in sin does not KNOW Christ. What is sin.......lawlessness. 1JOHN 3:4 The works of the Law show us we break them & can't be saved by our perfect following of the Law. So we can't save ourselves by that as our fathers' were earthly & not heavenly like Christ's. Even whilst we understand God's instructions are good righteous and spiritual because God gave them for our blessing they will in no wise cover our lack of perfection as each of us has broken them.. We need the blood of Christ. The Law shows us our condition...... we have sinful flesh until we are in are glorified body. The mercy of Messiah forgives all our repented of sin but does not condone us to love sin. We are meant to grow into righteousness as faith without works cannot save us either. So the 2nd step in salvation is learning to walk as a redeemed from sin person through following Christ's example through love. Our hearts are changed to DESIRE the good and hate the evil even as we stumble at times. A wicked person LOVES their sin and does not have a repentant heart & will not seek to change. If you have accepted Jesus your nature is being changed by the Holy Spirit as you read the Bible and then DO what it says is good. Hope you get it. No liar, fornicator homosexual or drunkard will have the right to eat of the tree of life.......so our actual behaviour AFTER believing in Christ DOES have a purpose and is part of our walk or race to win a prize called eternal life. If you choose to maintain rebellion as a deathstyle you will receive death as you have not valued Christ's blood and are not repentant.. The soul that sins shall die. Blessings of the Truth of God's Word to set you free from the imaginations of men. Mat 5 :17-22 is gentiles being grafted into Israel the Kahal/ Assembly of the body of Messiah. They learn how to NOT defile their bodies as the Temple of the Holy Spirit. No sexual defilement and no food that is defiled according to biblical standard as the starting point. Food is leviticus 11 as Jesus and all Israel ate. These are the 1st instructions and verse 22 says every Sabbath everywhere God's Word is taught for the new gentile believers to learn more about the God of the Bible's Ways. Peace is in obedience Through Faith in Messiah. FJ
Susan Carpenter What if someone is dieing and has no time to prove themselfs?Didnt that happen though?The theif on the cross gave his life to Jesus and trusted in him before he died,he had no time to prove himself,yet he still went to heaven.Im pretty sure if your dieing in the moment,you’ll still go to heaven.But if you have time and you have time before you die,yes you should prove your faith BY your works.Though not giving to the church or going to countries or fasting,but by not being in sin,and obeying the commandments.
Barry Blackwood Cause is a tree is about to be burned down and is healthy,well it doesn’t have time to produce fruits,but it’s still capable of producing fruits and is still healthy,it just doesn’t time to do it cause it’s dieing in the moment.
He keeps fidgeting with his glasses, hair, twitching his face, mouth...some inner turmoil and discomfort going on. I pray Jesus keeps knocking and this man surrenders.
I'm so grateful for Ray Comfort and his witnessing videos. He's helped me to put into words the message I want to share with others, and when I feel I haven't necessarily done the best job of it, I can always direct them to videos like this. It's so important. More than ever, God has opened my eyes lately to the vast number of "Christians" who aren't even saved, because they don't know this stuff. Which is almost more dangerous than atheism, in some ways, because other true Christians don't realize they need to be witnessed to.
I agree, and its so sad. Its a huge deception, because they think they're Christians and maybe even say so, but unless we are awake and aware enough to watch for the fruit of their life, we won't know they need to heat the Good News!
The carnal mind really doesn’t want to comprehend. I just get so frustrated with people unless I’m filled with the Holy Spirit consistently. I have to remember that God loves me despite my flaws and if Almighty God can love me!? then what right do I have not to love others. Ray is so inspiring the way he’s so patient and his understanding that its the Holy Spirits job to transform a person not his. He can just walk away knowing that he’s done his bit. Love it 😊
When he pulled "Old Yeller dying" out of his hat It gave me an unexpected laugh. Not sure this young man knew Old Yeller but I remember crying when he died as a young girl. Enjoyed that exchange. May God bless you both❤️
Theres alot of stuff I didn't expect ray comfort to say,but he's right, scripture says that our heart is deceitfully wicked, that is why we need Christ
@ijcn0jir3nvjn3fjcifn first of all Ray is not radically religious. Second of all it is only that they realize it, not that they are worse than other people
Without the filling of Holy Spirit, no one is saved. It speaks about it in great detail in The Book of Acts. I don't mean speaking in tongues, but the power to overcome this world through the supernatural presence of Jesus in your daily walk, relationship with him.
@@synthoelectro Yes, people often confuse what Salvation actually is. When Paul talks about being saved by grace through faith, he is referring to regeneration/being made alive not justification or forgiveness(though both of those are important too). It might be interesting to note that Paul goes out of His way to seperate the word Salvation and justification in Romans 3 and 4. Notice that Salvation isn't ever used their. People often see Salvation as justification bc it happens upon conversion just like regeneration(which does happen don't get me wrong) but most of the time when it is used in Acts and the letters of Paul, it is talking about regeneration. I think we have a tendency to significantly leave out some of the very important aspects of Salvation sometimes. Another thing that isn't mentioned far too often is the reserrection. I hear all about Jesus's death(which is great) but why do so many never mention His reserrection? The plan of redemption couldn't even be complete without that, Paul says if Christ wasn't raised we would still be in our sins(unregerated). Tje reserrection is soooo important for we are "saved by His life"(Romans 5:10). My apologies for the spill, God bless u.
Anthony had some honesty in Him He didnt like being confronted. when Ray told Him that He was guilty He acknowledeged Ray was real. and he humbled Himself.. God can work.
PLEASE confront me. But allow me the space to confront YOU in return is all I would ask out of respect.... For thats how discussions work. Theres Rays truth, and theres Anthonys truth. Rays stems from ONE book. Anthonys stems from MANY.
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who doe such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Continue in sin . . . your under the law. Walk by the fruit of the Spirit . . . your in grace
He tells us to repent of our sins and to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling....we are saved through grace by faith.none of us are worthy enough. That's why jesus came and formed on the cross so that we may be saved....God bless💞
@Carmella D That is not necessarily true. Paul told said that we should imitate him. If someone is a good role model, we should try to be like them. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me. - 1 Cor 4:16 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. - 1 Cor 11:1 As u can see, Paul wants people to imitate him as he does Christ. U see the Corinthians could not see Christ, but they could see Paul the apostle to the Gentiles. Therefore they were to follow Paul, for he followed what Christ had taught him.
@Carmella D Yeah I understood what u meant. I no u didn't come accross as offensive at all and I hope u didn't either. I was just pointing out an observation from Scripture, that is all.
@Carmella D That is very true. We can learn from others, regardless of who they are. We can learn from their words, mistakes, and successes(as well as our own mistakes and successes). God bless.
Would you also tell him Psalms 5:5 ? God hates all workers of iniquity. God loves them means He wants them to be safe. Not that He accepts them and want to hug them. You do realize Jesus is going to send all sinners in the lake of fire to burn forever?
@@katerinakolliou5477 I do realize this, but we have to love on the unbelievers! We have to show them Christ unconditional love with love! A lot of people just dont know the TRUTH, it is our job to show it to them, best way to do that is to first show them that they are LOVED!
Thank you so much Gods Holy Word…..I had a false belief for so many years The Fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom- I ordered the Study Bible -love it
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
4 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? 2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God. 3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. 4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
I bet you think you're living like heaven. You're probably thinking that you're sinless. In fact God wrote a chapter about people like you. Its Mathew 7:21 Give it a read.
@@jandrefelix3577 actually you’re in error for any Christian they know they are “wretched” human beings like all people are. No I am a sinner saved by grace who lives under and in the sinless perfection of the Savior! My “sinlessness” is not mine but in Him the Christ who died a sinless death for all who follow him as Lord. 1 Cor 15:31 “ I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.”
People say we must repent of our sins to be saved. They say we must turn from our sins to be saved. I heard Ray Comfort say, while explaining what it means to repent, that we must stop sinning. But when I ask them if they have stopped sinning, I always get the same answer...I'm trying. Either you sin or you don't. If you must stop sinning to be saved, then admitting you still sin is admitting you're not saved. The answer is the Gospel. We aren't saved by trying to live a good life. Or by making an empty promise to not sin anymore. Or by attempting to be holy. We are saved by trusting in the finished work of Christ at Calvary.
We must constantly repent because we don't completely stop sinning. Read what the Apostle Paul says...he talks about the war of the flesh and says..."who will deliver me from this body of flesh?" Then he tells us, "Thank God!" "The answer is in Jesus Christ, our Lord." Read Romans, chapters 7 & 8.
I really enjoy Ray Comforts approach to reaching people to tell them about Jesus....I have used his approach or as best as I am able to reach others and tell them about Christ. To God be the Glory!!! The only exception...and it is one thing he mentions in evey episode.....He always ask, "Have you lusted after another?" and then calls the person an adulteror. However, many of those he is talking to are not married...as such, they can not commit adultery as adultery is defined as, "voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not his or her spouse". May God bless your ministry Mr. Comfort.
In our youth we nearly always say I`ll do this tomorrow.I`ve got lots of time.I`ll repent and change just as soon as I grow older.That day may be too late.
When I tried to tell a non believer he needed to repent before it's too late (even though I told him I was just come from a place of love with genuine worry for his salvation) he said I was threatening him with death. Even two Christians who saw my post said I should be ashamed of myself. Is it possible to talk about the fear of God from a place of genuine love and concern?
Not just older--old already too. Wish I could say lots more abt my "existence" not really a life. Not good. If I'd had a mentor or genuine Christians to be around...but none. Just wanted to add I "pray" people will have the help, teaching and caring fellowship to be grounded like i never had/was. May God bless you and all these precious souls Ray encounters.
we live in a fallen world...it's so far away from the original creation. But soon...we will see our Lord create a NEW world with NO iniquity! Back to where we began.
New age deception and many false Christ first (Matthew 24); but eventually, yes. Christ will return in a flash - like lighting - and he will leave the foolish virgins behind.
*Why not explain to people that they must be born-again. Many people believe in Jesus but don't understand that you have got to be born-again. Just sayin'!! Love your videos and God Bless for what you do in love to others!!*
James Bedding A born-again Christian still sins but the difference is that now the Holy Spirit in that person will convict him/her to restrain oneself as much as possible to not sin. And the Spirit gives one strength to overcome temptation. Without the Spirit one sins without really any resistance since they are a slave to sin.
Terri Suder you nailed it! Being born again doesn’t mean we become perfect. If one is truly born again, you become far more sensitive & do your best not to sin. And when we make a mistake, feelings of utter remorse and hate for that sin brings you to your knees and Gods love & abundant grace fills our hearts once again. Wow, our Heavenly Father is so beautiful and so amazingly good. it’s humbling to know just how great He truly is. I pray more people are reached by Ray.
When I watch your videos you remind me of how I fall short of the Glory of God everyday. Thank you and Praise God for you for Him giving you to me to remind me to stop living in worldly ways.
If everyone who watched this video (and all of your videos) prayed, in this case for Anthony, what would happen? Lord, please raise up the prayers for Anthony and all those who think they are Christians who are deceived, and please show them mercy! We all have family members and friends who think they are saved, but who live like the world. Please, Lord, reveal to them the truth that no one who practices sin will be received into Your kingdom. Thank You for Ray Comfort and his ministry, so please bless him, this ministry, and all those involved to make these videos possible. In Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you!
It is so very sad that there are so many who think they are saved, who have no fellowship with Christ, and have no sorrow for their sin, and the no heart to reach others for Christ. So many have been deceived by false teaching, that tells them just say this prayer, and you can continue to sin, and get a free ticket to heaven!
King James Bible Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? Isaiah 29:15 King James Bible And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud? Job 22:13 King James Bible I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Timothy 4:1 the Lord has already judged the world, and those children who are the elect that belong to him, he opens their hearts & their ears to his word and as we learn his truth we are commanded to judge the World by his truth. Because our main job simply is to find the brothers and sisters in the body of Christ that belong to him.(Matthew 28:19 & Isaiah 35:5)! One day soon Christ is coming back to take his bride home to be with their Father to glory and reign forever!!!
HumbleHeartMinistry “If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.” 1 John 1:6-7 NIV You have to be a completely different person. Many people are the same
@John Steel I`m glad you pray! But I would beg you open the scriptures yourself. Jesus is our High Priest, and not he Pope. Jesus is the only way to enter Gods Kingdom, not Mary. If you allow a Priest to tell you what Gods word says, and do not seek it out, and prove all things by Gods word, you will be deceived into following error. God could care less about our religions, He cares about truth. He cares about his chosen becoming like Jesus. He sanctifies and makes holy those who truly believe His word, and are born again of the Spirit of God. To the end that we will walk in his truth, in true love for the brethren and every person. Religion will not save you. Mary or any saint will not save you. Only believing the gospel, seeking out and obeying his word taught by the Holy Spirit, not man, will wash us and cleanse us of the filth of the flesh! Jesus biggest rebuke in the whole bible was to the religous leaders who held the truth in unrighteousness and lead all those who followed them to hell with themselves. Seek it out with your whole heart! Don`t take my word, or your Priest word. Let God be true, but every man a liar! In Christ love I have to warn you!
@@HumbleHeartMinistry The individual Roman Catholic goes along with calling the Pope an "alter Christus" and all the priests call themselves "alter Christus." Sigh.
My wife and I watch the living water produced content here on RUclips a lot. And we thoroughly enjoy the message being given to those needing to hear it. We think we have it down for when the LORD commands us to speak. So many have been built up to reject truth and to even "hear you out" with no intentions of turning away from iniquity. So the points delivered have to be as the Almighty needs that person to hear...who knows how long they have or however many chances remain before they die.
Father, may you give to Anthony the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you and his identity, his new identity in you that he would be discipled and become blameless in your site. That holiness and victory over sin and even death would be his in Jesus Christ.
After repenting and believing in Jesus we have to follow his steps and be holy like he is holy. Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26:41
People who play with their glasses, rub their face, play with their hair, look at others walking by...these people feel uncomfortable at the information they are hearing and trying not to process. Ray Comfort, you are a blessing for the Kingdom.
FALSE, I was uncomfortable because it was A) the same thing ive heard countless times. B) I realized that this man did not want a DISCUSSION, but rather a one sided lecture, with no room for ANYONES input or perspective but his own.... Why do Christians have such a hard time LISTENING, and being considerate of views different from their own ? And isnt interesting that those of us NOT on your team, in YOUR eyes.... are the ones who are lost ? I dont judge y'all. I UNDERSTAND that life, spirit, and God are VAST mysteries... But YOU guys, because of what you've been TAUGHT to think, absolutely JUDGE and sit on some perch of righteousness...... Founded on WHAT ? What is RIGHTEOUS about BELIEVING a story about a man who "died for your sins"? like where do you get OFF having such arrogant gall ? CHRISTIANS... Keepers of the Truth... Good grief ! gimme a break. Remember the word HUMILITY ? I'm done sugar coating things out of fear of hurting your feelings or causing you to question your own belief system. its ok, its just tonight. just going ham on all these comments from 2 years ago. I apologize. god bless
@@anthonyveritas4902 I don’t argue with you as some Christians are defiantly judgmental and turn people off but people also judge God by how people who claim to be Christian act which is also wrong. I consider myself pretty open minded but when I found Jesus I was pretty closed minded mostly because I honestly was just coping with what I thought life was which was hard and that’s just the way it is…when Jesus hit me, it was a “click”, I did not expect such a life changing experience; it took me at least 10 years before my mind said something isn’t right about this fundamental idea of what “church” and being a “Christian” means. ..that’s when I began to seriously seek answers and open my mind from the locked fundamental Christian mind and began to explore the truth through others who I found were thinking like me only light years ahead of me .. like Derek and Sharon a Gilbert and the SkyWatch Team, Chuck Missler, Dr. Michael Heiser … and the list goes on. So admitting your nervous I don’t blame you…I get tongue tied to and there’s a camera on you…how can you even think?! I get it…and don’t apologize … Christians need to know they are being destructive and not constructive … I know the majority mean well and feel bad because they aren’t doing it right and our only job is to inform, it’s up to God to add…I didn’t know I was living a sinful life until someone pointed it out to me… it’s just how that message is relayed. Ray Comfort is no nonsense and gets right to the point about our sin…every person, even a Christian, is a sinner and if they say they are not runaway…the Bible says we are all sinners. You know the truth, it’s in you to know and grow. Peace be with you…be safe and look up - the time is near. Shalom.
I come to God broken, flawed and especially guilty. And being guilty of sin, I fall well short of God's standard. No one enters his kingdom guilty of sin. God's law commands us not to sin, but not one human - except Jesus Christ himself - has ever been able to uphold the law and be without sin. We are by our very nature born to it. It would be a hopeless situation except for one thing: Grace. Grace is defined as 'undeserved favor.' Getting something that you want and/or need even though you don't deserve it. Or Grace may also be defined as being forgiven for something even though you don't deserve to be forgiven. This is why Jesus Christ came into the world, and this is the part of the world - and our natures - that he sets right. He offers us Grace. It is the ultimate gift - and it requires nothing from us except a response. That response is to believe in Him as the only begotten son of God, having been crucified and raised from the dead to seal the defeat of evil and sin once and for all. Sure, as Christians living in this fallen world, we will always struggle with the sin that affects so many things. But it is through the blessed hope of redemption and forgiveness through Christ that we can look forward to forgiveness and a condition worthy to join him in heaven.
Nuancolar, (comment 1 of 2) *****WHAT IS THE *BIBLE’S* DEFINITION OF GRACE??? Understanding the BIBLICAL definition of ‘grace’ IN IT’S FULLNESS - and how the truth of what ‘grace’ is can be perverted - is absolutely vital to the Christian life! The truth about ‘grace’ goes far, far deeper than what initially meets the eye. In order to best understand ‘grace’ from a biblical perspective, we have to look at ALL the verses about it - not just one or two. *There is a strong false teaching being taught in the church today: that Jesus ‘did it all’ and we are ‘covered by grace’ no matter how we live our lives - all we have to do is ‘rest’ and not ever have to worry about the consequences of continuing to walk in willful sin; grace is just a tarp that God threw over our sins to cover them all. This dangerous false teaching blasphemously goes against everything that is taught in the bible about ‘grace’ and ‘salvation.’ As believers, we are NOT under this dispensation called ‘grace’ that allows us to live our lives however we want!! If we love OUR OWN IDEA of the ‘truth’ *INSTEAD* of loving GOD’S REAL TRUTH and seeking it FROM HIM, we will be headed for absolute deception and destruction. The bible must be read BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, and not by leaning on our own understanding!***** Yes, ‘grace’ IS God’s undeserved gift of election to us (HE chose US): 2 Timothy 1:9 9 “He has saved us and called us to a holy life-not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,” Titus 2:11 11 “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.” Yes, salvation is OFFERED to all people. But only God’s TRUE children - those who obey the will of God and the commands of Jesus Christ will be saved in the end (there are many many many clear bible verses about this!). This does not refer to those who profess belief with their lips, and yet walk hypocritically in willful sin. What CANNOT be ignored is that the bible has many examples of ‘grace’ being *JESUS’ EMPOWERING HELP THAT ENABLES US TO DO WHAT WE CAN’T DO ON OUR OWN,* rather than something that makes God blind to willful sinning: *Hebrews **4:15**-16* 15 “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one *who has been tempted in every way, just as we are*-yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find *GRACE TO HELP US IN OUR TIME OF NEED.”* ---verse 15: Jesus knows what it feels like to be tempted as a human! ---verse 16: therefore, He has made His ENABLING POWER (grace) available to help us in our “time of need” (when we are tempted!) *Acts 14:3* 3 “So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, *who confirmed the message OF HIS GRACE BY ENABLING THEM to perform signs and wonders.*” ---*the definition of grace here is clearly GOD’S ENABLING POWER TO DO THINGS THAT WE CANNOT DO ON OUR OWN.* Without grace, we cannot perform signs/wonders, forgive others, experience godly love for others, overcome our sins, etc. Every good thing we recieve in our hearts is by the grace of God ALONE, through faith. ---there is nothing in this verse showing ‘grace’ being defined as ‘God overlooking our sins’ Ephesians 4:7-8, 11-12 7 But to each one of us *GRACE HAS BEEN GIVEN AS CHRIST APPORTIONED IT.* 8 This is why it says: “When he ascended on high, he took many captives and *GAVE GIFTS* to his people.” .......... 11 *SO CHRIST HIMSELF GAVE* the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 *TO EQUIP HIS PEOPLE FOR WORKS OF SERVICE,* so that the body of Christ may be built up ---here, we see ‘grace’ defined as God’s enabling power that equips us to perform works of service ---take special notice of verse 7 where it is stated that all of the Lord’s people recieve his grace IN DIFFERENT AMOUNTS; we will all recieve whatever amount of grace the Lord sees fit for us to have, in order to carry out God’s will - we are all called to carry out different kinds of works for the Kingdom of God! Some of us need more grace to do so, and some of us need less. ---there is nothing in this verse showing ‘grace’ being defined as ‘God overlooking our sins’ *Acts 6:8* 8 “Now Stephen, a man *FULL OF GOD’S GRACE * and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.” ---here, we see it stated that it was God’s grace and power that enabled him to perform wonders and signs ---there is nothing in this verse showing ‘grace’ being defined as ‘God overlooking our sins’ *2 Corinthians 8:1-3* “And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about THE GRACE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN the Macedonian churches. 2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, AND EVEN BEYOND THEIR ABILITY.” ---no human being can go beyond the limits of their own ability without the grace of God! *His grace EMPOWERS us to do what we cannot do on our own* ---*as we can see from this verse, the ‘grace of God’ has nothing to do with God overlooking our sins* (continued in comment 2 of 2)
Nuancolar, (comment 2 of 2) *2 Corinthians 12:8-9* Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 “But he said to me, “*MY GRACE* is sufficient for you, for *MY POWER* is made perfect in weakness.”Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s *POWER* may rest on me.” ---this is *JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF* making a direct connection between ‘GRACE’ and HIS POWER; it is an example of how He enables us in our weaknesses with his GRACE to do/endure what we can’t do/endure on our own *Acts **11:21**-23* 21 “*THE LORD’S HAND WAS WITH THEM,* and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord. 22 News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.23 When he arrived and *SAW WHAT THE GRACE OF GOD HAD DONE,* he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.” ---Barnabas SAW *WHAT* the grace of God had done - *it wasn’t God overlooking someones sins that Barnabus saw,* it was the power (GIVEN BY GOD) of the disciples’ preaching that brought so many people to the Lord *Acts **20:32* 32 “Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, *WHICH CAN BUILD YOU UP* and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.” ----again, we see grace being defined as *God’s enabling power;* there is nothing in this verse showing ‘grace’ being defined as ‘God overlooking our sins” *2 Corinthians **1:12* 12 “Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with *integrity and godly sincerity.* We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom *BUT ON GOD’S GRACE.*” ---here we see that Paul acknowledges that it is only by God’s empowering grace that they did all that they did; there is nothing in this verse showing ‘grace’ being defined as ‘God overlooking our sins.’ *2 Corinthians 8:7* 7 “But since you excel in everything-in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you-see that you also excel in this *GRACE OF GIVING.*” --there is nothing in this verse showing ‘grace’ being defined as ‘God overlooking our sins.” *1 Peter **4:10* 10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.” ---in this definition of ‘grace,’ what does it have to do with God ‘overlooking our sins’???? It has to do with using gifts given to us by God, empowered by his grace to serve others! *2 Corinthians 9:8* 8 “And God is able to make ALL GRACE ABOUND TOWARD YOU that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, MAY ABOUND TO EVERY GOOD WORK” ----THUS, WE ARE SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD - not a ‘grace’ that covers all willful sin, but by an extraordinary *empowering grace* GIVEN to us by God *to do the will of God* BY THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST, which we could never do on our own. *Ephesians 3:7* 7 “I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of *GOD’S GRACE given me through the working of HIS POWER.*” ---here we see grace defined again as God’s enabling power to, in this case, “become a servant of this gospel” --------- ~Bible verses warning us that GRACE IS *NOT* A LICENSE TO SIN!~ *Romans **6:14* 14 “For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.” ----this does NOT mean that God is overlooking our sins because we are ‘covered by grace!’ As we can see, there are multiple warnings about using grace as a license to sin: *Romans **6:15**-16* 15 “What then? *Shall we sin* because we are not under the law *but under grace? BY NO MEANS!* 16 Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, *YOU ARE SLAVES of the one you obey-whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death,* or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?” ---verse 15: again, we see it stated here that we are NOT ‘covered by grace.’ Grace is not a license to keep sinning. ---if Jesus “did it all” then why, once we’re under grace (verse 15) would we be warned about the consequences of being a slave to sin (verse 16)?? ---why would our obedience be highlighted (verse 16) if we had no part to play in our own salvation?? *Romans 6:1-2* 1 “What shall we say, then? *Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 BY NO MEANS!* We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?” -----here, we can clearly see it stated that we are NOT ‘covered by grace.’ Grace is not a license to keep sinning. *Jude 1:4* 4 “For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, *WHO PERVERT THE GRACE OF OUR GOD INTO A LICENSE FOR IMMORALITY AND DENY JESUS CHRIST* our only Sovereign and Lord. 5 Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that *the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.* ----“deny Jesus Christ” doesn’t mean they don’t believe in Jesus - it means they acknowledge Him with their lips, but their hearts are far from Him, as prophesyed by Isaiah (Isaiah 29:13); they deny Him BY THEIR ACTIONS. There are teachers in the church who are teaching a *FALSE* definition of grace (those who teach “once saved, always saved”) and made it into a licence to keep on willfully sinning. ----verse 5: “those who do not believe” doesn’t mean ‘those who didn’t believe in God’ - it means those who saw and believed in him when he performed wonders to get them out of Egypt, but who DENIED HIM BY THEIR ACTIONS by HAVING NO FAITH IN HIS POWER and by pursuing their own lusts and sins. If we do the same in our own lives, we will NOT enter the kingdom of heaven. PLEASE CONSIDER: Matthew 13:40-43 40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be AT THE END OF THE AGE. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will WEED OUT OF HIS KINGDOM everything that causes sin AND ALL WHO DO EVIL. 42 *They will throw them INTO THE BLAZING FURNACE,* where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.” ---verse 41: If Jesus “did it all” on the cross, and we can just go ahead and keep sinning, then why does the Spirit say that at the END of the age, Jesus will send his angels to weed out ALL WHO DO EVIL and throw them into the furnace???? Why therefore, do we need this “empowering grace?” To do the will of God in our personal lives as he guides us as individuals. This is the essence of the Christian life. Peace ❤️🙏🏻
@@alisas3585 I hope my post was not taken to infer that I think it is okay to sin just because we have the grace of Christ's forgiveness. That was not my point whatsoever. Sin is the enemy, and we are to depart from it with all our being. The battle we Christians fight every day is one against sin. We must renounce sin. We do not accept it, condone it, approve of it, and we know that if we stumble...we are to ask forgiveness. But the Bible clearly says that we cannot be saved by keeping the law because every human except Christ has proven that cannot be done. By no works of our own can we enter the Kingdom...they are as filthy rags. This is the point where Grace becomes our only hope. As Jesus told the adulteress: Go and sin no more. As we walk in the spirit, that too is our charge, but we must never lose sight that it is Christ alone that saves us.
Man’s failure to grasp the seriousness of sin, rocks him to sleep with a false sense of security; “She’ll be right mate”. But of course, ‘she’ won’t be. I grew up in a Christian home. My mother said I never caused her any concern or grief. Yet, the time came when I realised I was a miserable sinner and owed God a debt I could never pay. That was the 22nd of November 1980 @ 21:00. It was both the saddest and happiest day of my life. Sad, because I realised I was religious, but didn’t know Christ. It was also the happiest day, because Jesus offered me salvation as a free gift. What a glorious day! What was your saddest and happiest day? Your day of salvation? How did it happen?
@Yeshua is my Ishi yes but we still have flesh and a mind. The spirit is new but we die to the flesh daily. If your stupid prior to conversion you're still stupid afterward. The Holy Spirit overcomes the flesh but the flesh and mind are never perfect.
If you read the Bible you will see that we are actually saints and NOT sinners. Please STUDY to show yourself approved! if you don't study you'll be a poor witness with bad fruit.
@Be Ye HOLY exactly. we dont sin. Im so sick of the "sinner saved by grace movement" we aren't sinners bc we don't sin. we are saints. Holy and chosen. the once saved always saved movement is "do what thou wilt" in disguise. terrible.
@Be Ye HOLY but on another note- I dont speak English from 1611. God is good and He wants everyone to know His word and to come to Him. I try not to put language barriers and roadblocks when I recommend the Bible to people. God knows how to preserve His word in any language at any given time. This kjv only is truly from the devil. who wants to confuse people? GOD? God doesn't want to confuse ANYONE> HE says "let the children come to me" . Language form 1611? This is a whopper of a lie the devils use to try and get people to not read and to not understand. Lets let the language experts do their job and trust that the Lord is translating His word through them so that we can all understand. no matter the language we speak or the age we are. Lets put this lie to rest already. please.
Praying that God will bless the seeds of truth that were wonderfully planted. I’d hate to think he might one day be held responsible for rejecting Christ after such a clear presentation of the gospel.
Flowers die because the whole creation fell at the garden. And it let death in ,and that is the serpent our adversary Satan . Ha nachash . Praying for that young man Anthony
I was glad He told of the future new earth. It's part of the Good News, final setting of things right. And God living among His people forever, finally. He needs to do more of that...what Jesus actually accomplished ...defeat of death...and what He will do later...make all things new with no more death or sin!!!
I liked how this guy stopped and asked if he could ask a question. Up to that point, I wasn't sure if he was completely engaged. He was. Thank you for making this possible and sharing this video.

Please think about this observation. So many times I have seen this. You are trying to reach people on a heart level, and then right at a crucial moment you ask, "Does this make sense." This gets the person right back on a head level and sort of destroys the "mood." You yourself know that people have to be convicted in their hearts before they repent. They have to be crushed before they know the horror of sin and the magnitude and magnificence of God's mercy to forgive, and take the weight on Himself so we could be redeemed and spend eternity in His presence. God bless you more, and please "think about this!" 😊
No. No people don't have to be "crushed" before they understand sin. What they need is the Gospel and to understand the words coming out of our mouths so asking them questions is the best thing we can do. They have to understand, if u don't explain it well they will not understand.
I can say that when I started reading the Bible for myself and yielding to the Holy Spirit, I was very convicted about my own behaviors and beliefs. I repented and humble myself before God, and am in Christ.
I have learned so much through these videos! Like many of these people I had minor misunderstandings of the gospel that could have led to major consequences in my life! Praying that this young man sees that also!
I feel like repentance needs to be discussed more. The Gospel is believing in Jesus, placing your faith in Him, and repenting of your sins; confessing your guilt, asking for forgiveness in faith in God through Christ.
He's not doing anything for God's kingdom he's creating false converts for the devil. Ray teaches a hard core works salvation where he says you have to turn from your sins to be saved and that would be works (Jonah 3:10) Think about it the Bible says sin is the transgression of the law, so if we are not sinning we're following the law, and the people that justify themselves by the law for salvation are fallen from grace (Galatians 5:4) The only thing we have to do have eternal life is put our faith ON Jesus (Acts 16:30-31) not on yourself and Jesus not on good works and Jesus just Jesus, because grace and works do not mix whatsoever (Romans 11:6) So all we have to do to recieve the gift is put our faith/trust on Jesus Acts 16:30-31and we do that by calling upon his name Romans 10:9-10,13 which is something Ray completely leaves out (on purpose because he's a wolf in sheep's clothing)
@@samsonjr. ya the Bible says that false prophets will PRIVILY bring in damnable heresies. Think of the difference between a real dollar and a monopoly dollar. A person trying to decieve someone wouldn't use a monopoly dollar they'd try to make the most closest believable thing. 2 Peter 2:1 "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction." They're very deceitful for sure, I even watched him and thought he was cool for awhile Romans 16:17-18 "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple." Galatians 1:9 "As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."
The whole idea of "repentance" is hardly ever mentioned in conversations? When I said "I do" to my wife of 24 years, a change occurred in my life. I can no longer do as I did before I married her. Wonder what she'd say if I told her I'd be faithful to her 364 days out of the year? She deserves full devotion! Imagine God as Creator, deserves every bit as more. Blessings, dear friends
Very good example
@Ms. Daunte Marie Slettebak I yes, point taken indeed, BUT he was just making a great example. Is there anything wrong?

@@davidmorris9668 Indeed, the "problem" only occurs when metaphors r taken too literally. Not every part of a metaphor is meant to have a spiritual meaning and the metaphors lose their meaning when we do that. The same applies to God's Word, we should never build doctrine based off of secondary details in metaphors.
I'm sure you and your wife have been blessed for being faithful.
All of us have sinned, praise Jesus for giving us salvation

I appreciate your comment. Thank you for your compassion.
I agree and he has clearly thought about spiritual things and could articulate his ideas and questions. I love how Ray gently and clearly corrects his (any many others, I'm sure!) misconceptions.
By your compassion and your desire to bless, you have discovered that the hell-threatening type of Christianity is wrong.

I often say "get the Bible back into church". However I do know people carry their Bibles in but I mean LIVE by the Bible and do not lean on your own understanding.

No such thing as 'living by the bible' unless you're a Pharisee. Remember them? They killed Jesus. You NEED the holy spirit or you don't belong to Jesus Christ, Rom.8:9.
@@xolclint Your ignorance astounds. How do u even know the Holy Spirit except for God's Word? How could u tell the difference between God's Spirit and any other spirit except for God's Word?
U think the Pharisees lived by God's Word? U obviously know nothing of the Pharisees and what they taught. They held onto oral traditions not God's Word. Jesus Christ lived by God's Word.
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Matthew 4:4
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.
2 Timothy 3:16-17
It is Scripture that is able to perfect and furnish a man. It is Scripture that rebukes, and teaches.
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:15
It is the Bible that we study to show ourselves approved.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
James 1:22
We are to be doers of the Word, in other words we are to live by the Word.
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
John 17:17
It is by His Word that we are sanctified.
But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
Luke 11:28
That is to live by it.

@@pdrtplanet Amen, anymore is a key word in this! It's also important to continue with daily sanctification with the Lord, because the enemy will continue to tempt us with various forms of sin. The Christian walk is never easy, but He rewards us along the way, and of course in eternity! Ephesians 6:10-18 is one of my favorite passages about the spiritual battle and the armor of God :) How has your walk been, struggles? Breakthroughs?
Oh makes sense!
He says he's a believer, but then air quotes the word sin as if it's not really a thing. You can't be a true believer and not admit sin. It's real and we are in fact all guilty of doing it. Prayers for him.
The paradigm shift analogy is so good. I lived that- I lived in sin as a false Christian but I didn't know the Spirit, the living word bc PRIDE was in the way. Through repentance and Godly sorrow I had a personal encounter that opened my eyes to everything I couldn't see for years. I saw all of my sins and how they cause the path I ended up on and how they kept me from hearing God. Now my world is upside down and I'm in love with Jesus.
Same here sister! Thank you Jesus for giving us the gift of being born again 🙏❤️

@@rickyoder32 Thank you. I'm a backslidden Christian that was brought up in a Baptist church where they taught "once saved always saved." I'm not saying it's not accuate, it could be true to some degree but for me living that way alowed things to get really bad. I lost both my mother and father to cancer, I got with someone I thought was saved and was blessed with my son. She ended up doing every evil thing she could to me exept kill me. We separated and I took her to court and got full custody of my son. I'm not going into anymore detail about her because I don't want to slander her like she has me. I still pray for her from a safe distance. I've had both a rough and blessed life but I trusted the wrong people and got hurt in the process. I started having nightmares about gping to hell and suffering from sleep parralises or night terrors as some people call them. I wasent sure if this was a demonic attack or God trying to get my attention and let me know that once saved always saved was and is a lie and that I was in trouble if I kept living in sin as a hypocrite living a double life. So, I prayed without ceasing eveyday and kept my faith as I slowly tried to get away from addictive behaviors that I now knew where separating me from God. Everything stopped for almost two months and the nightmares and night terrors ceased. I will never give up and I consider what happened to me a blessing because it made me realise that this spiritual war that Jesus talked about when he said we wresle not against flesh and blood but against principalities in the air of evil in high places, he meant what said and it's very true. He was addressing everyone not just the lost!!! Now I take sin very seriously and try my best to stay on the narrow path that leads to heaven rather the than the wide one where everyone I know except my son is walking on as they seem to not care where they are headed. The wide path that leads to destruction and hell seems to be where most people gather, walk and call out to me. I've learned the hard way that just like job and the many other believers that where persecuted hated and murdered like Jesus because they spread the gospel and told the truth I too am Satan's enemy and if I have to make a decision I'd rather die for the truth than live for the lie. I was being targeted by God's advisory because when I got saved I became his enemy as well. Everyday is a spiritual war for souls and some don't even know or believe it is raging and they are in the middle of it thinking they are safe. Satan had Jesus killed and all of those who continued to preach the gospel and if we spread the word without fear of being hated and persecuted we are picking up our own crosses and following Jesus wherever our faith takes us. I know the devils not done with me, he's not going to leave me alone just because I follow Christ, he wants me dead or even worse ...ignorant of his existance, zomified by my phone and brainwashed by this satanic world. He never takes a break, evil never rests so don't get too comfortable. Anyway, this is my story and the reason I said pray for my family and I is because my family are all decieved and have created their own God that would never judge anyone of their wickedness. I think we all know people that cherry pick the bible and leave out the white thrown judgement. That used to be me but God literally woke me up. I've been having nightmares again and night terrors after two months of peace that's why we all could use some sensire prayer and I will pray for you all like I always do. I guess my message is never give up no matter how bad it gets!!! The devil wants you to give up and think your doomed. That's a lie from a lier!!! As long as you are alive and have breath in your lungs you still have a choice and a chance to take this all more seriously, look inside your own heart and rebuke it's evil nature in Jesus Christ's name. I feel the Lord's presence now and before I stuggled alot to get where I am. Jesus did everything he possibly could in his life, ministry, death and resurrection to make sure we had a savior that is him to save us. We have to put forth some effort on our part to reach up to his outstreched arms, repent and turn away from all wickedness or at least try. Willful sin is known sin, the sin we get used to and think is a lifestyle instead of an abomination. It's everything that we know we are doing wrong that is against Christ and everything that Christ suffered and died to atone/forgive for us on the cross!!! Ignorance is bliss and knowledge from God can direct us to the Lord and rightousness but be aware because the doctrine of demons/false knowledge like the lies of Satan himself will lead to madness, suicidal thoughts and ultimately hell. Choose this day who you will serve and serve the one true God with all that you where created to be, Even if it leads to persecution and death. Eternity awaits everyone and we who know good from evil cannot claim ignorance anymore. Pick up the sword of truth everyday against false philosophies and protect yourself with the shield of faith because we are in a war until Jesus himself crushes Satan and casts him into the pit. Be sober and vigilant, the devil dosent just came to kill and destroy the lost and confused he comes to kill and destroy all who can be decieved and he hates Christians more than anything because we share our faith with those who need guidance out of bondage!!! God bless you all I just had to let it all out.
I will be in prayer for u and your family my friend
Tell people the Biblical truth, and then leave the rest to God, He is still the only one who can change a person's heart and mind towards Himself.
This is hard to do cause because you have to leave them in their lost state and just pray they got and keep the message
@cassandra 💯 right. It’s all God’sgrace.
Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, as the Lord gave to each one? 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. 1 Corinthians 3:5-7
Not at all. Real biblical soul winning with bible in hand gets people saved, if they have ears to hear.
They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Thank you Living Waters. This is a FANTASTIC WARNING to all Christians. This is what happens when we give people 'a religious experience' or a 'special prayer' to say to receive all these 'benefits' that come with becoming a Christian. When we tailor what we say to appeal to the heart of sinful man we literally gut the gospel until it is no longer the good news. Imagine if this man continues in his way and dies and stands before God to face judgement, will he think the message he received in his 20s was good news when he is told, "Depart from Me, I never knew you?" In this man's case, he has definitely heard the genuine good news now at least once and if he repents and puts his faith and trust in Jesus and stands before God on judgement day, he will be so grateful someone loved him enough to tell him the truth.
We must be faithful. It's our mission to seek out the deceived and deliver to them the message of the gospel. Not this false message that says God is (=) love and His only desire is to serve us and give us everything our hearts have ever wanted, oh and by the way, He weeps over all the bad things happening in the world, but He's too weak to do anything about it. That's not the God of the Bible. And He didn't become a man and die for our sins so we can have warm fuzzy feelings and our best life now. We need to understand sin twisted everything and made it perverse. Everything is corrupted and dying, because of our sin. And yet we tailor our message to the lost to appeal to their hearts? Have we forgotten or failed to consider Jeremiah 17:9-10?
9 “The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it?
10 I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings." Oh that we would stop witnessing to others using the corrupted reasoning of man and rely completely on the incorruptible pure and holy word of God. How could we ever improve upon God? Never should it be said, and yet, isn't that what what are doing when we "edit" the gospel to present to the lost? No, the word of the Lord is sufficient and cannot be improved upon, Hebrews 4:12: "For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
Amazing message, thank you.
For I am a sinner, I know he died for me for Jesus said "I have not come to condemn the world, but to save it" Amen😇
This false belief of Jesus condemning the world except one ethnicity is why the so called hebrew israelites you see on the streets slandering white people as Esau are nearly unsavable
Bravo! So many people want to brand themselves Christian, but don't want to adhere to the rules.
Love the Lord thy God with all your heart and mind and love your neighbor as yourself...? That rule?

@@newworldgrover8588 - That's a good one. When we are sinning we are loving neither one.
We used to have a phrase for that. Those who "want the name without the game".

They do not trust Christ like we'd trust a parachute or a life-preserver. They don't read the Bible and let the Holy Spirit convict them of sin so they can repent and trust in Christ's righteousness.

nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; since by the works of the law no flesh will be justified. (Galatians 2:16)
James 2:14-26 New American Standard Bible (NASB)
14 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and be filled,” and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that? 17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
18 But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” 19 You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder. 20 But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar? 22 You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected; 23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness,” and he was called the friend of God. 24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
Hi James Christ is not a minister of lawlessness...........READ 1John he who continues in sin does not KNOW Christ. What is sin.......lawlessness. 1JOHN 3:4
The works of the Law show us we break them & can't be saved by our perfect following of the Law. So we can't save ourselves by that as our fathers' were earthly & not heavenly like Christ's.
Even whilst we understand God's instructions are good righteous and spiritual because God gave them for our blessing they will in no wise cover our lack of perfection as each of us has broken them.. We need the blood of Christ.
The Law shows us our condition...... we have sinful flesh until we are in are glorified body. The mercy of Messiah forgives all our repented of sin but does not condone us to love sin.
We are meant to grow into righteousness as faith without works cannot save us either. So the 2nd step in salvation is learning to walk as a redeemed from sin person through following Christ's example through love. Our hearts are changed to DESIRE the good and hate the evil even as we stumble at times.
A wicked person LOVES their sin and does not have a repentant heart & will not seek to change. If you have accepted Jesus your nature is being changed by the Holy Spirit as you read the Bible and then DO what it says is good.
Hope you get it. No liar, fornicator homosexual or drunkard will have the right to eat of the tree of life.......so our actual behaviour AFTER believing in Christ DOES have a purpose and is part of our walk or race to win a prize called eternal life. If you choose to maintain rebellion as a deathstyle you will receive death as you have not valued Christ's blood and are not repentant.. The soul that sins shall die. Blessings of the Truth of God's Word to set you free from the imaginations of men. Mat 5 :17-22 is gentiles being grafted into Israel the Kahal/ Assembly of the body of Messiah. They learn how to NOT defile their bodies as the Temple of the Holy Spirit. No sexual defilement and no food that is defiled according to biblical standard as the starting point. Food is leviticus 11 as Jesus and all Israel ate. These are the 1st instructions and verse 22 says every Sabbath everywhere God's Word is taught for the new gentile believers to learn more about the God of the Bible's Ways. Peace is in obedience Through Faith in Messiah. FJ
Susan Carpenter What if someone is dieing and has no time to prove themselfs?Didnt that happen though?The theif on the cross gave his life to Jesus and trusted in him before he died,he had no time to prove himself,yet he still went to heaven.Im pretty sure if your dieing in the moment,you’ll still go to heaven.But if you have time and you have time before you die,yes you should prove your faith BY your works.Though not giving to the church or going to countries or fasting,but by not being in sin,and obeying the commandments.
Barry Blackwood See my other reply about if someone is dieing in the moment.

I'm so grateful for Ray Comfort and his witnessing videos. He's helped me to put into words the message I want to share with others, and when I feel I haven't necessarily done the best job of it, I can always direct them to videos like this. It's so important. More than ever, God has opened my eyes lately to the vast number of "Christians" who aren't even saved, because they don't know this stuff. Which is almost more dangerous than atheism, in some ways, because other true Christians don't realize they need to be witnessed to.
I agree, and its so sad. Its a huge deception, because they think they're Christians and maybe even say so, but unless we are awake and aware enough to watch for the fruit of their life, we won't know they need to heat the Good News!

Without the filling of Holy Spirit, no one is saved. It speaks about it in great detail in The Book of Acts. I don't mean speaking in tongues, but the power to overcome this world through the supernatural presence of Jesus in your daily walk, relationship with him.
Indeed. That is what Salvation is. Paul defines Salvation as the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.
@@n.holt7 it's good to know others believe it to be so.
@@synthoelectro Yes, people often confuse what Salvation actually is. When Paul talks about being saved by grace through faith, he is referring to regeneration/being made alive not justification or forgiveness(though both of those are important too). It might be interesting to note that Paul goes out of His way to seperate the word Salvation and justification in Romans 3 and 4. Notice that Salvation isn't ever used their. People often see Salvation as justification bc it happens upon conversion just like regeneration(which does happen don't get me wrong) but most of the time when it is used in Acts and the letters of Paul, it is talking about regeneration. I think we have a tendency to significantly leave out some of the very important aspects of Salvation sometimes. Another thing that isn't mentioned far too often is the reserrection. I hear all about Jesus's death(which is great) but why do so many never mention His reserrection? The plan of redemption couldn't even be complete without that, Paul says if Christ wasn't raised we would still be in our sins(unregerated). Tje reserrection is soooo important for we are "saved by His life"(Romans 5:10). My apologies for the spill, God bless u.

“When I discovered the proper distinction between law and gospel, I became free.” Martin Luther
Gotta love Luther. Pretty hardcore guy, rightly so. Prayer warrior to boot.
Amen. The law can only curses us outside Christ.
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who doe such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Continue in sin . . . your under the law.
Walk by the fruit of the Spirit . . . your in grace
I would be careful when it comes Luther. Charles Spurgeon is far better example of a true follower of Christ
Luther was a Freemason
Sin is transgression against Gods Law.

It's pretty cute to me..
sometimes pets and their owners look alike, it's always funny and cute, i've been saying the same thing hahaha. God bless you
Thank you so much Gods Holy Word…..I had a false belief for so many years The Fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom- I ordered the Study Bible -love it
Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Awesome Ray. Great perspectives. Thank you..
Too many want to go to heaven but live like Hell!
YOUR RIGHT!
So many deceived 😓💓
4 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found?
2 For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.
4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.
5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
I bet you think you're living like heaven. You're probably thinking that you're sinless. In fact God wrote a chapter about people like you. Its Mathew 7:21 Give it a read.
@@jandrefelix3577 actually you’re in error for any Christian they know they are “wretched” human beings like all people are. No I am a sinner saved by grace who lives under and in the sinless perfection of the Savior! My “sinlessness” is not mine but in Him the Christ who died a sinless death for all who follow him as Lord. 1 Cor 15:31 “ I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.”
People say we must repent of our sins to be saved. They say we must turn from our sins to be saved. I heard Ray Comfort say, while explaining what it means to repent, that we must stop sinning. But when I ask them if they have stopped sinning, I always get the same answer...I'm trying. Either you sin or you don't. If you must stop sinning to be saved, then admitting you still sin is admitting you're not saved. The answer is the Gospel. We aren't saved by trying to live a good life. Or by making an empty promise to not sin anymore. Or by attempting to be holy. We are saved by trusting in the finished work of Christ at Calvary.
We must constantly repent because we don't completely stop sinning. Read what the Apostle Paul says...he talks about the war of the flesh and says..."who will deliver me from this body of flesh?" Then he tells us, "Thank God!" "The answer is in Jesus Christ, our Lord." Read Romans, chapters 7 & 8.
@@ValerieGriner🎯AMEN
I tear up every time I watch one of these. Thank you Mr Comfort for your ministry and obeying the Lord.
I really enjoy Ray Comforts approach to reaching people to tell them about Jesus....I have used his approach or as best as I am able to reach others and tell them about Christ.
To God be the Glory!!!
The only exception...and it is one thing he mentions in evey episode.....He always ask, "Have you lusted after another?" and then calls the person an adulteror. However, many of those he is talking to are not married...as such, they can not commit adultery as adultery is defined as, "voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not his or her spouse".
May God bless your ministry Mr. Comfort.
In our youth we nearly always say I`ll do this tomorrow.I`ve got lots of time.I`ll repent and change just as soon as I grow older.That day may be too late.
When I tried to tell a non believer he needed to repent before it's too late (even though I told him I was just come from a place of love with genuine worry for his salvation) he said I was threatening him with death. Even two Christians who saw my post said I should be ashamed of myself. Is it possible to talk about the fear of God from a place of genuine love and concern?
Not just older--old already too. Wish I could say lots more abt my "existence" not really a life. Not good. If I'd had a mentor or genuine Christians to be around...but none. Just wanted to add I "pray" people will have the help, teaching and caring fellowship to be grounded like i never had/was. May God bless you and all these precious souls Ray encounters.
we live in a fallen world...it's so far away from the original creation. But soon...we will see our Lord create a NEW world with NO iniquity! Back to where we began.
New age deception and many false Christ first (Matthew 24); but eventually, yes. Christ will return in a flash - like lighting - and he will leave the foolish virgins behind.
*Why not explain to people that they must be born-again. Many people believe in Jesus but don't understand that you have got to be born-again. Just sayin'!! Love your videos and God Bless for what you do in love to others!!*
True repentance comes first. You cant be born again- Holy Spirit 🔥 baptism- if ur not WILLING to turn away from ur sinful lifestyle.
Is being born again a guarantee of a sinless life then ??? I take it you have never sinned since your ‘zapping’
James Bedding A born-again Christian still sins but the difference is that now the Holy Spirit in that person will convict him/her to restrain oneself as much as possible to not sin. And the Spirit gives one strength to overcome temptation. Without the Spirit one sins without really any resistance since they are a slave to sin.
@@jamesbedding C'MON, we're all sinners who don't want too! I simply pointed out that after repentance, you must invite Jesus into your life!!
Terri Suder you nailed it! Being born again doesn’t mean we become perfect. If one is truly born again, you become far more sensitive & do your best not to sin. And when we make a mistake, feelings of utter remorse and hate for that sin brings you to your knees and Gods love & abundant grace fills our hearts once again. Wow, our Heavenly Father is so beautiful and so amazingly good. it’s humbling to know just how great He truly is. I pray more people are reached by Ray.
Mr Comfort, praise God for the good work He has done in you.
Amazing!
Thank you Jesus
More like this, Ray. I so appreciate your place as witnessing instructor in my life.
I wish I could speak as effective as you do about this matter of downplaying sin in the so called believers life. You Ray are truly being used by God!
We say others downplay sin..then when we sin we say we stumbled or slipped .
@@jammer4578 Sometimes, sometimes not. Whether it is a slip up or a dive it is without excuse, whether u are saved or not.
always a breath of fresh air, Ray
When I watch your videos you remind me of how I fall short of the Glory of God everyday.
Thank you and Praise God for you for Him giving you to me to remind me to stop living in worldly ways.
If everyone who watched this video (and all of your videos) prayed, in this case for Anthony, what would happen? Lord, please raise up the prayers for Anthony and all those who think they are Christians who are deceived, and please show them mercy! We all have family members and friends who think they are saved, but who live like the world. Please, Lord, reveal to them the truth that no one who practices sin will be received into Your kingdom. Thank You for Ray Comfort and his ministry, so please bless him, this ministry, and all those involved to make these videos possible. In Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you!
I watch EVERY video. Ray, Kirk, and ALL at Living Waters, I love you sooooo much. Thank you all and may God bless you each and every day.💜☺🙏👍
It is so very sad that there are so many who think they are saved, who have no fellowship with Christ, and have no sorrow for their sin, and the no heart to reach others for Christ. So many have been deceived by false teaching, that tells them just say this prayer, and you can continue to sin, and get a free ticket to heaven!
I know hundreds of so called church going Christians like that - no one told me about the Lord until I was 24 - most were probably hiding in Church
King James Bible
Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
Isaiah 29:15
King James Bible
And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
Job 22:13
King James Bible
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
2 Timothy 4:1
the Lord has already judged the world, and those children who are the elect that belong to him, he opens their hearts & their ears to his word and as we learn his truth we are commanded to judge the World by his truth.
Because our main job simply is to find the brothers and sisters in the body of Christ that belong to him.(Matthew 28:19 & Isaiah 35:5)!
One day soon Christ is coming back to take his bride home to be with their Father to glory and reign forever!!!
HumbleHeartMinistry “If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.”
1 John 1:6-7 NIV
You have to be a completely different person. Many people are the same
@John Steel I`m glad you pray! But I would beg you open the scriptures yourself. Jesus is our High Priest, and not he Pope. Jesus is the only way to enter Gods Kingdom, not Mary. If you allow a Priest to tell you what Gods word says, and do not seek it out, and prove all things by Gods word, you will be deceived into following error. God could care less about our religions, He cares about truth. He cares about his chosen becoming like Jesus. He sanctifies and makes holy those who truly believe His word, and are born again of the Spirit of God. To the end that we will walk in his truth, in true love for the brethren and every person. Religion will not save you. Mary or any saint will not save you. Only believing the gospel, seeking out and obeying his word taught by the Holy Spirit, not man, will wash us and cleanse us of the filth of the flesh! Jesus biggest rebuke in the whole bible was to the religous leaders who held the truth in unrighteousness and lead all those who followed them to hell with themselves. Seek it out with your whole heart! Don`t take my word, or your Priest word. Let God be true, but every man a liar! In Christ love I have to warn you!
@@HumbleHeartMinistry The individual Roman Catholic goes along with calling the Pope an "alter Christus" and all the priests call themselves "alter Christus." Sigh.
My wife and I watch the living water produced content here on RUclips a lot. And we thoroughly enjoy the message being given to those needing to hear it. We think we have it down for when the LORD commands us to speak.
So many have been built up to reject truth and to even "hear you out" with no intentions of turning away from iniquity.
So the points delivered have to be as the Almighty needs that person to hear...who knows how long they have or however many chances remain before they die.
May God continue to use this channel to reach the world for him

💖🙏 thank you, Heidi. I promise, I'm doing the best with what I got in this strange world.

Father, may you give to Anthony the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you and his identity, his new identity in you that he would be discipled and become blameless in your site. That holiness and victory over sin and even death would be his in Jesus Christ.
Brilliant, thanks Ray. God bless you!

People always take Gods name in vein even though so many say that they are Christian.....it just....disgust me.
It is bc people dont understand the seriousness of it. Our churches need to be doing that. It is a very serious offence to God(as every sin is).
Nick _7 I agree 100%

After repenting and believing in Jesus we have to follow his steps and be holy like he is holy.
Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26:41
People who play with their glasses, rub their face, play with their hair, look at others walking by...these people feel uncomfortable at the information they are hearing and trying not to process. Ray Comfort, you are a blessing for the Kingdom.
FALSE, I was uncomfortable because it was A) the same thing ive heard countless times. B) I realized that this man did not want a DISCUSSION, but rather a one sided lecture, with no room for ANYONES input or perspective but his own.... Why do Christians have such a hard time LISTENING, and being considerate of views different from their own ? And isnt interesting that those of us NOT on your team, in YOUR eyes.... are the ones who are lost ? I dont judge y'all. I UNDERSTAND that life, spirit, and God are VAST mysteries... But YOU guys, because of what you've been TAUGHT to think, absolutely JUDGE and sit on some perch of righteousness...... Founded on WHAT ? What is RIGHTEOUS about BELIEVING a story about a man who "died for your sins"? like where do you get OFF having such arrogant gall ? CHRISTIANS... Keepers of the Truth... Good grief ! gimme a break. Remember the word HUMILITY ? I'm done sugar coating things out of fear of hurting your feelings or causing you to question your own belief system. its ok, its just tonight. just going ham on all these comments from 2 years ago. I apologize. god bless
@@anthonyveritas4902 I don’t argue with you as some Christians are defiantly judgmental and turn people off but people also judge God by how people who claim to be Christian act which is also wrong. I consider myself pretty open minded but when I found Jesus I was pretty closed minded mostly because I honestly was just coping with what I thought life was which was hard and that’s just the way it is…when Jesus hit me, it was a “click”, I did not expect such a life changing experience; it took me at least 10 years before my mind said something isn’t right about this fundamental idea of what “church” and being a “Christian” means. ..that’s when I began to seriously seek answers and open my mind from the locked fundamental Christian mind and began to explore the truth through others who I found were thinking like me only light years ahead of me .. like Derek and Sharon a Gilbert and the SkyWatch Team, Chuck Missler, Dr. Michael Heiser … and the list goes on. So admitting your nervous I don’t blame you…I get tongue tied to and there’s a camera on you…how can you even think?! I get it…and don’t apologize … Christians need to know they are being destructive and not constructive … I know the majority mean well and feel bad because they aren’t doing it right and our only job is to inform, it’s up to God to add…I didn’t know I was living a sinful life until someone pointed it out to me… it’s just how that message is relayed. Ray Comfort is no nonsense and gets right to the point about our sin…every person, even a Christian, is a sinner and if they say they are not runaway…the Bible says we are all sinners. You know the truth, it’s in you to know and grow. Peace be with you…be safe and look up - the time is near. Shalom.
Love these videos. Excellent examples of effective expository evangelism. I pray for churches to make this kind of evangelising a priority mission.
I come to God broken, flawed and especially guilty. And being guilty of sin, I fall well short of God's standard. No one enters his kingdom guilty of sin. God's law commands us not to sin, but not one human - except Jesus Christ himself - has ever been able to uphold the law and be without sin. We are by our very nature born to it. It would be a hopeless situation except for one thing: Grace.
Grace is defined as 'undeserved favor.' Getting something that you want and/or need even though you don't deserve it. Or Grace may also be defined as being forgiven for something even though you don't deserve to be forgiven.
This is why Jesus Christ came into the world, and this is the part of the world - and our natures - that he sets right. He offers us Grace. It is the ultimate gift - and it requires nothing from us except a response. That response is to believe in Him as the only begotten son of God, having been crucified and raised from the dead to seal the defeat of evil and sin once and for all. Sure, as Christians living in this fallen world, we will always struggle with the sin that affects so many things. But it is through the blessed hope of redemption and forgiveness through Christ that we can look forward to forgiveness and a condition worthy to join him in heaven.

*****WHAT IS THE *BIBLE’S* DEFINITION OF GRACE??? Understanding the BIBLICAL definition of ‘grace’ IN IT’S FULLNESS - and how the truth of what ‘grace’ is can be perverted - is absolutely vital to the Christian life! The truth about ‘grace’ goes far, far deeper than what initially meets the eye. In order to best understand ‘grace’ from a biblical perspective, we have to look at ALL the verses about it - not just one or two.
*There is a strong false teaching being taught in the church today: that Jesus ‘did it all’ and we are ‘covered by grace’ no matter how we live our lives - all we have to do is ‘rest’ and not ever have to worry about the consequences of continuing to walk in willful sin; grace is just a tarp that God threw over our sins to cover them all.
This dangerous false teaching blasphemously goes against everything that is taught in the bible about ‘grace’ and ‘salvation.’ As believers, we are NOT under this dispensation called ‘grace’ that allows us to live our lives however we want!! If we love OUR OWN IDEA of the ‘truth’ *INSTEAD* of loving GOD’S REAL TRUTH and seeking it FROM HIM, we will be headed for absolute deception and destruction.
The bible must be read BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, and not by leaning on our own understanding!*****
Yes, ‘grace’ IS God’s undeserved gift of election to us (HE chose US):
2 Timothy 1:9
9 “He has saved us and called us to a holy life-not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time,”
Titus 2:11
11 “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.”
Yes, salvation is OFFERED to all people. But only God’s TRUE children - those who obey the will of God and the commands of Jesus Christ will be saved in the end (there are many many many clear bible verses about this!). This does not refer to those who profess belief with their lips, and yet walk hypocritically in willful sin.
What CANNOT be ignored is that the bible has many examples of ‘grace’ being
*JESUS’ EMPOWERING HELP THAT ENABLES US TO DO WHAT WE CAN’T DO ON OUR OWN,* rather than something that makes God blind to willful sinning:
*Hebrews **4:15**-16*
15 “For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one *who has been tempted in every way, just as we are*-yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find *GRACE TO HELP US IN OUR TIME OF NEED.”*
---verse 15: Jesus knows what it feels like to be tempted as a human!
---verse 16: therefore, He has made His ENABLING POWER (grace) available to help us in our “time of need” (when we are tempted!)
*Acts 14:3*
3 “So Paul and Barnabas spent considerable time there, speaking boldly for the Lord, *who confirmed the message OF HIS GRACE BY ENABLING THEM to perform signs and wonders.*”
---*the definition of grace here is clearly GOD’S ENABLING POWER TO DO THINGS THAT WE CANNOT DO ON OUR OWN.* Without grace, we cannot perform signs/wonders, forgive others, experience godly love for others, overcome our sins, etc. Every good thing we recieve in our hearts is by the grace of God ALONE, through faith.
---there is nothing in this verse showing ‘grace’ being defined as ‘God overlooking our sins’
Ephesians 4:7-8, 11-12
7 But to each one of us *GRACE HAS BEEN GIVEN AS CHRIST APPORTIONED IT.* 8 This is why it says:
“When he ascended on high,
he took many captives
and *GAVE GIFTS* to his people.”
..........
11 *SO CHRIST HIMSELF GAVE* the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 *TO EQUIP HIS PEOPLE FOR WORKS OF SERVICE,* so that the body of Christ may be built up
---here, we see ‘grace’ defined as God’s enabling power that equips us to perform works of service
---take special notice of verse 7 where it is stated that all of the Lord’s people recieve his grace IN DIFFERENT AMOUNTS; we will all recieve whatever amount of grace the Lord sees fit for us to have, in order to carry out God’s will - we are all called to carry out different kinds of works for the Kingdom of God! Some of us need more grace to do so, and some of us need less.
---there is nothing in this verse showing ‘grace’ being defined as ‘God overlooking our sins’
*Acts 6:8*
8 “Now Stephen, a man *FULL OF GOD’S GRACE * and power, performed great wonders and signs among the people.”
---here, we see it stated that it was God’s grace and power that enabled him to perform wonders and signs
---there is nothing in this verse showing ‘grace’ being defined as ‘God overlooking our sins’
*2 Corinthians 8:1-3*
“And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about THE GRACE THAT GOD HAS GIVEN the Macedonian churches. 2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, AND EVEN BEYOND THEIR ABILITY.”
---no human being can go beyond the limits of their own ability without the grace of God! *His grace EMPOWERS us to do what we cannot do on our own*
---*as we can see from this verse, the ‘grace of God’ has nothing to do with God overlooking our sins*
(continued in comment 2 of 2)
Nuancolar,
(comment 2 of 2)
*2 Corinthians 12:8-9*
Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 “But he said to me, “*MY GRACE* is sufficient for you, for *MY POWER* is made perfect in weakness.”Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s *POWER* may rest on me.”
---this is *JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF* making a direct connection between ‘GRACE’ and HIS POWER; it is an example of how He enables us in our weaknesses with his GRACE to do/endure what we can’t do/endure on our own
*Acts **11:21**-23*
21 “*THE LORD’S HAND WAS WITH THEM,* and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord. 22 News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch.23 When he arrived and *SAW WHAT THE GRACE OF GOD HAD DONE,* he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts.”
---Barnabas SAW *WHAT* the grace of God had done - *it wasn’t God overlooking someones sins that Barnabus saw,* it was the power (GIVEN BY GOD) of the disciples’ preaching that brought so many people to the Lord
*Acts **20:32*
32 “Now I commit you to God and to the word of his grace, *WHICH CAN BUILD YOU UP* and give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified.”
----again, we see grace being defined as *God’s enabling power;* there is nothing in this verse showing ‘grace’ being defined as ‘God overlooking our sins”
*2 Corinthians **1:12*
12 “Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with *integrity and godly sincerity.* We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom *BUT ON GOD’S GRACE.*”
---here we see that Paul acknowledges that it is only by God’s empowering grace that they did all that they did; there is nothing in this verse showing ‘grace’ being defined as ‘God overlooking our sins.’
*2 Corinthians 8:7*
7 “But since you excel in everything-in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you-see that you also excel in this *GRACE OF GIVING.*”
--there is nothing in this verse showing ‘grace’ being defined as ‘God overlooking our sins.”
*1 Peter **4:10*
10 “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms.”
---in this definition of ‘grace,’ what does it have to do with God ‘overlooking our sins’???? It has to do with using gifts given to us by God, empowered by his grace to serve others!
*2 Corinthians 9:8*
8 “And God is able to make ALL GRACE ABOUND TOWARD YOU that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, MAY ABOUND TO EVERY GOOD WORK”
----THUS, WE ARE SAVED BY THE GRACE OF GOD - not a ‘grace’ that covers all willful sin, but by an extraordinary *empowering grace* GIVEN to us by God *to do the will of God* BY THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST, which we could never do on our own.
*Ephesians 3:7*
7 “I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of *GOD’S GRACE given me through the working of HIS POWER.*”
---here we see grace defined again as God’s enabling power to, in this case, “become a servant of this gospel”
---------
~Bible verses warning us that GRACE IS *NOT* A LICENSE TO SIN!~
*Romans **6:14*
14 “For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.”
----this does NOT mean that God is overlooking our sins because we are ‘covered by grace!’ As we can see, there are multiple warnings about using grace as a license to sin:
*Romans **6:15**-16*
15 “What then? *Shall we sin* because we are not under the law *but under grace? BY NO MEANS!* 16 Don’t you know that when you offer yourselves to someone as obedient slaves, *YOU ARE SLAVES of the one you obey-whether you are slaves to sin, which leads to death,* or to obedience, which leads to righteousness?”
---verse 15: again, we see it stated here that we are NOT ‘covered by grace.’ Grace is not a license to keep sinning.
---if Jesus “did it all” then why, once we’re under grace (verse 15) would we be warned about the consequences of being a slave to sin (verse 16)??
---why would our obedience be highlighted (verse 16) if we had no part to play in our own salvation??
*Romans 6:1-2*
1 “What shall we say, then? *Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 BY NO MEANS!* We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?”
-----here, we can clearly see it stated that we are NOT ‘covered by grace.’ Grace is not a license to keep sinning.
*Jude 1:4*
4 “For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, *WHO PERVERT THE GRACE OF OUR GOD INTO A LICENSE FOR IMMORALITY AND DENY JESUS CHRIST* our only Sovereign and Lord.
5 Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that *the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.*
----“deny Jesus Christ” doesn’t mean they don’t believe in Jesus - it means they acknowledge Him with their lips, but their hearts are far from Him, as prophesyed by Isaiah (Isaiah 29:13); they deny Him BY THEIR ACTIONS. There are teachers in the church who are teaching a *FALSE* definition of grace (those who teach “once saved, always saved”) and made it into a licence to keep on willfully sinning.
----verse 5: “those who do not believe” doesn’t mean ‘those who didn’t believe in God’ - it means those who saw and believed in him when he performed wonders to get them out of Egypt, but who DENIED HIM BY THEIR ACTIONS by HAVING NO FAITH IN HIS POWER and by pursuing their own lusts and sins. If we do the same in our own lives, we will NOT enter the kingdom of heaven.
PLEASE CONSIDER:
Matthew 13:40-43
40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be AT THE END OF THE AGE. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will WEED OUT OF HIS KINGDOM everything that causes sin AND ALL WHO DO EVIL. 42 *They will throw them INTO THE BLAZING FURNACE,* where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.”
---verse 41: If Jesus “did it all” on the cross, and we can just go ahead and keep sinning, then why does the Spirit say that at the END of the age, Jesus will send his angels to weed out ALL WHO DO EVIL and throw them into the furnace????
Why therefore, do we need this “empowering grace?” To do the will of God in our personal lives as he guides us as individuals. This is the essence of the Christian life.
Peace ❤️🙏🏻
@@alisas3585 I hope my post was not taken to infer that I think it is okay to sin just because we have the grace of Christ's forgiveness. That was not my point whatsoever. Sin is the enemy, and we are to depart from it with all our being. The battle we Christians fight every day is one against sin. We must renounce sin. We do not accept it, condone it, approve of it, and we know that if we stumble...we are to ask forgiveness. But the Bible clearly says that we cannot be saved by keeping the law because every human except Christ has proven that cannot be done. By no works of our own can we enter the Kingdom...they are as filthy rags. This is the point where Grace becomes our only hope. As Jesus told the adulteress: Go and sin no more. As we walk in the spirit, that too is our charge, but we must never lose sight that it is Christ alone that saves us.
Alisa S agree with you!

Yet we now have been given a new nature.
Grace, yes...

Man’s failure to grasp the seriousness of sin, rocks him to sleep with a false sense of security; “She’ll be right mate”. But of course, ‘she’ won’t be.
I grew up in a Christian home. My mother said I never caused her any concern or grief. Yet, the time came when I realised I was a miserable sinner and owed God a debt I could never pay.
That was the 22nd of November 1980 @ 21:00. It was both the saddest and happiest day of my life. Sad, because I realised I was religious, but didn’t know Christ. It was also the happiest day, because Jesus offered me salvation as a free gift. What a glorious day!
What was your saddest and happiest day? Your day of salvation? How did it happen?
Praise God for having Mercy on our Souls 🙏
We are all sinners & fall short of the glory of God. 🤲🇦🇺
@Yeshua is my Ishi yes but we still have flesh and a mind. The spirit is new but we die to the flesh daily. If your stupid prior to conversion you're still stupid afterward. The Holy Spirit overcomes the flesh but the flesh and mind are never perfect.
If you read the Bible you will see that we are actually saints and NOT sinners. Please STUDY to show yourself approved! if you don't study you'll be a poor witness with bad fruit.
Amen sister! That is why it's so amazing that Jesus loves us!
@Be Ye HOLY exactly. we dont sin. Im so sick of the "sinner saved by grace movement" we aren't sinners bc we don't sin. we are saints. Holy and chosen.
the once saved always saved movement is "do what thou wilt" in disguise. terrible.
@Be Ye HOLY but on another note- I dont speak English from 1611. God is good and He wants everyone to know His word and to come to Him. I try not to put language barriers and roadblocks when I recommend the Bible to people. God knows how to preserve His word in any language at any given time. This kjv only is truly from the devil. who wants to confuse people? GOD? God doesn't want to confuse ANYONE> HE says "let the children come to me" . Language form 1611? This is a whopper of a lie the devils use to try and get people to not read and to not understand. Lets let the language experts do their job and trust that the Lord is translating His word through them so that we can all understand. no matter the language we speak or the age we are. Lets put this lie to rest already. please.
Sweet spirit, he is...and love the pup w his shades
Ann Marie Schrage-Glaviano oh my goodness me too!
God will make a new Heaven and new earth. Hallelujah! His Kingdom comes and will reign forever and ever 🙏👑
Thank you for your steadfastness! Blessings to you!
I love the way Ray teaches me the simplicity of the gospel ❤️
Praying that God will bless the seeds of truth that were wonderfully planted. I’d hate to think he might one day be held responsible for rejecting Christ after such a clear presentation of the gospel.
Flowers die because the whole creation fell at the garden. And it let death in ,and that is the serpent our adversary Satan . Ha nachash . Praying for that young man Anthony
God was gracious in placing this curse upon creation. Without death we would seperated from God forever. Without death there would be no cross.
@@n.holt7 your very right brother.
well done ray this is the best most clear ive ever heard the gospel explained. Hats off ray has perseverance
I was glad He told of the future new earth. It's part of the Good News, final setting of things right. And God living among His people forever, finally. He needs to do more of that...what Jesus actually accomplished ...defeat of death...and what He will do later...make all things new with no more death or sin!!!
Like all your videos, you're the man and I Love what you do. It's very INSPIRATIIONAL !!! PRAISE GOD
I liked how this guy stopped and asked if he could ask a question. Up to that point, I wasn't sure if he was completely engaged. He was. Thank you for making this possible and sharing this video.

Please think about this observation. So many times I have seen this. You are trying to reach people on a heart level, and then right at a crucial moment you ask, "Does this make sense." This gets the person right back on a head level and sort of destroys the "mood." You yourself know that people have to be convicted in their hearts before they repent. They have to be crushed before they know the horror of sin and the magnitude and magnificence of God's mercy to forgive, and take the weight on Himself so we could be redeemed and spend eternity in His presence. God bless you more, and please "think about this!" 😊
No. No people don't have to be "crushed" before they understand sin. What they need is the Gospel and to understand the words coming out of our mouths so asking them questions is the best thing we can do. They have to understand, if u don't explain it well they will not understand.
Jesus Grace is Enough ✝️
I can say that when I started reading the Bible for myself and yielding to the Holy Spirit, I was very convicted about my own behaviors and beliefs. I repented and humble myself before God, and am in Christ.
I have learned so much through these videos! Like many of these people I had minor misunderstandings of the gospel that could have led to major consequences in my life! Praying that this young man sees that also!
Anytime someone uses air quotes when they say "sinning" you know they have no understanding of the destructive nature of sin.
I feel like repentance needs to be discussed more. The Gospel is believing in Jesus, placing your faith in Him, and repenting of your sins; confessing your guilt, asking for forgiveness in faith in God through Christ.
His grace is amazing. We are all sinners at the end of the day, so we need to be humbled and repent🙏💓
Thank you Ray for all that you're doing for God's kingdom. Keep sharing the Gospel in love. ❤
He's not doing anything for God's kingdom he's creating false converts for the devil. Ray teaches a hard core works salvation where he says you have to turn from your sins to be saved and that would be works (Jonah 3:10)
Think about it the Bible says sin is the transgression of the law, so if we are not sinning we're following the law, and the people that justify themselves by the law for salvation are fallen from grace (Galatians 5:4)
The only thing we have to do have eternal life is put our faith ON Jesus (Acts 16:30-31) not on yourself and Jesus not on good works and Jesus just Jesus, because grace and works do not mix whatsoever (Romans 11:6)
So all we have to do to recieve the gift is put our faith/trust on Jesus Acts 16:30-31and we do that by calling upon his name Romans 10:9-10,13 which is something Ray completely leaves out (on purpose because he's a wolf in sheep's clothing)
@@samsonjr. ya the Bible says that false prophets will PRIVILY bring in damnable heresies. Think of the difference between a real dollar and a monopoly dollar. A person trying to decieve someone wouldn't use a monopoly dollar they'd try to make the most closest believable thing.
2 Peter 2:1 "But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction."
They're very deceitful for sure, I even watched him and thought he was cool for awhile
Romans 16:17-18 "Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple."
Galatians 1:9 "As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."
Wonderful words, I love your earnest honesty. You're a beautiful creation of God. Bless you.
I love his gentle voice with the rumbling wind in the background
