Thank you for being honest. Jesus never held the truth from us even when it seemed daunting or felt like persecution but his direct honesty is out of love. I pray that others will not conform to being people pleasers and we receive this kind of boldness.
IM SO GLAD SOMEONE ELSE IS POINTING THIS OUT!! They all get mad at me when I do,and also all growing up I was always mistreated by them!! I only trust GOD,no human!
I agree wholeheartedly with this message - too many lukewarm Christian’s - I used to go to CoE youth club, they never mentioned Jesus or opened a Bible or prayed, let alone educate about repentance - and we would play ginger knock on the way home 🫣
Ok and? ALL YOU have been lukewarm Christians. Say you have rhythm of when you read your word and spend time with the lord, pray and worship. For me I read the word in the morning, get a little message in, thru the day I watch videos like this and avoid the negative ones that sht on people (like this) and worship/pray at night for two hours and I’ve been connecting with the Lord faithfully for a few weeks. Ok cool so I’m sure I prob won’t be able to keep my cycle, maybe even fall into more sin, which everyone does. So what that classified me as lukewarm? 😂 y’all funny if that’s bad then everyone watching this is lukewarm or has been lukewarm cuz I know y’all ain’t doing it perfectly, or think your on fire w the holt spirit just because you cast all your insecurities and lowkey hate onto other Christian’s and try n discourage them. One thing we Christian’s need to do now is know when to back off and let God fight the battles. At the end of the day it ain’t YOUR relationship with Christ Jesus, it’s MINE, and mine to walk with and bare. Y’all Christian’s hate on others so much, and even go as far to say if you fall into sin or become ‘lukewarm’ whatever that means, that you’ll be condemned to hell, nah if your saved your saved, and only God knows and can judge your heart, but that is the truth in putting my faith on it lmao. Y’all need to encourage n not break down in seeing a lot of not Christ like ‘Christian’s’ nowadays, so boom you can call THAT being lukewarm. It’s like we at each others necks and getting on one another’s heads abt doing this n that rather than focusing on your own relationship. It’s like telling your homeboy how to make love to his wife in their relationship. Fruit is fruit
@@macksmith6694thank you for saying this! I’m soooooo sick of this garbage from chrisitans…..sooooooo quick to judge each other when the bible tells us not to do that to each other. Work on your OWN salvation with fear and trembling. Don’t worry about other peoples walk
@@macksmith6694 all what you just said can be dismantled in one sentence. The Bible calls us to judge righteously multiple times, and in revelation Jesus rebukes the lukewarm church, treating them the same as he would an atheist or a satanist
I feel stuck. I was convicted of how i was living. I stopped practising certain sins - stopped fornicating and stopped drinking - i was delivered overnignt from this struggle. I heard the Gospel and deeply knew it to be true. But recently missed Church, no remorse, struggle reading my Bible (once i do i tend to enjoy and get revelation sometimes, but just picking it up in the first place) but now its affecting my fellowship too. Its like ive completely hardened to it all and keep having thoughts of not really believing. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!!!!
I’ve prayed for you. I believe we might have to work on consistency here, because we both know if someone’s gives up pretty easy their faith is weak. I suggest turn to Jesus and re surrender your life to him. Then ask him to guide you and help you. If you feel nothing from that, God probably wants you to do it on your own - which seems fair, he’s testing you. It’s a great idea to make it a habit to read at least 1 Bible chapter daily - and you’ll grow from there with praying and developing theology etc ❤
Thank you. Sometimes my head gets so full I dunno what I think or believe. He delivered me of being a drunk, and I've been 4 years sober now. Something I definitely didn't and couldn't have done in my own strength. I was led to believe I took the mark of the beast and since gave up. Stopped praying or seeking. Now I'm begging He takes me back. I think His Spirit departed@@christian_focus
@@christian_focus I have become way more religious in the summer holidays and this Winter of 2024, before then I wasn't even trying. But when I came to this realisation in the summer, I began to pray many times a day and read atleast 1 chapter a day, but I was still watching a lot of corn and commiting other sins of course. But in the Winter I really changed after praying consistently the whole of Autumm even if I didn't feel like it. And epecially after Christmas, I have been completly corn and masturbation free since and I try to stop being so lazy and help my parents and go out and I challenge myself to read the whole bibel this year by reading 4 chapters a day. But eversince this Christmas I have also been feeling super lonely and sad, I have been crying many nights and days and I feel like everybody is going out and doing stuff (not sinful persay) and I am left behind. And that the Plans of the people I know and care about are so much diffrent. I have been asking god so much about why I have this dread and these feelings and why I am so lonely, but I am not certain on how to interpret this, is it a test? Do you know about this, can you ask god about this? Please
You knew it deeply to be true because God convicted you because you are one of sheep. Its not about stopping to sin its about beliving in the finished work on the cross. You got burned out because you believe in works based gospel. Romans 11:6 , Romans 3 and Jesus's parable of the Tax collector are sufficient. John 5:24 and many more. Also Matthew 7:21-73 Jesus is talking about people believing in their works.
Keep walking in the faith brother, if they hate you then you know you are doing the right thing. John 15:18 "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you."
Thank you for this validation! I’ve been thinking that I need to fear God more! The Lord put that verse about the fear of God being the beginning of wisdom in my head and told me that’s the answer to my problems! The fear of the Lord! We must strive to live the way Jesus wants us to in order to work out our salvation in fear and trembling.
How do we determine if someone is a lukewarm Christian? As none of us are perfect, and i believe believers can still struggle with sin and failures like apostle Paul did Romans 7:19-21 19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. Any case good video We should try to do the best we can .But we should remember it is Christ who saves us Nobody can save themselves.
Unfortunately, most of those who call people "fake Christians" are fake themselves and modern day Pharisees. Thinking that all of your filthy rag works are what's pleasing to God is exactly the problem. Lukewarm refers to your faith in God, not your own righteousness and works, which is what many are actually trusting in and putting their faith into.
I like how you’ve just assumed that I personally believe God likes me more than others because of ‘works’. I view this channel nothing more than just evangelising the word. Not once do I claim I know it all or am better than anyone, think again before writing unproductive comments like this one
@@christian_focus I wasn't assuming that and I wasn't making a personal attack against you, I was just making a general comment based upon the message that I perceived in the video (That someone isn't a TRUE Christian based upon their works or being stuck in a sin). I certainly don't know everything either and I'm sorry if my comment left you grief. Much love, peace and many blessings in Jesus mighty name, brother in Christ.
@@dtm1351 I'm afraid you may have misinterpreted this video. I would consider someone a TRUE Christian if they have the atonement of Jesus whilst feeling bad for sin, that shows they are born again. If they feel no remorse or don't care a ton - probably lukewarm. And a Christian having works means nothing. Grace of God be with you
@@christian_focus I watched it again. I still have a hard time with some of the phrasing, but I believe that you are genuine, and yes, a true Christian is one who is trusting in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation. Either way, I subbed to you, God Bless!
@@christian_focuswell this comment just shows you aren't a true Christian then. "Feeling bad for sin" is not a condition for salvation. To judge whether someone is saved, they must believe alone in the Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation. No other condition is needed. If you think that feeling bad for sin makes you a true Christian, and you have believed that all of your life, I'm sorry to let you know but that means you are a false brother. I say this in love. You must repent and put your faith in the Jesus Christ who died on the cross, was buried, and rose again on the third day so that whosoever believes in Him shall have everlasting life.
Revelation 3v16 never directly addresses the topic of condemnation. It is about chastisement of God's children. So many people quoting Revelation 3v16 without searching for the proper meaning.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit and answered prayer as I let myself be carried away by different kinds of teachings like you can lose salvation, lived in anxiety and depression for 3 decades until I heard a message from a brother named Onorato Diamante, Jesus Christ alone saved me from going to hell for I finally believed the simplicity of the gospel for it is written John 6:40 For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will him up at the last day. ( All praise and Glory to God alone )
Very well made video man, should make more videos on this like common mistakes Christians makes and so on. Or sins most people don’t know about and such
I really need to know this because I feel so confused. How do I manage to balance faith with God and works for him? How come faith without works is dead but by grace alone I am saved (Ephesians 2:8-9)? Is stressing over that my faith is weak considered worrying? I really need to know this because it's tormenting me day and night, if you can of course.
I’m sorry you’re feeling this way, but know that God sees your heart and your desire to understand Him. Faith and works are not in opposition; they go hand in hand. We are saved by grace through faith, not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9), but genuine faith naturally produces works as evidence of our relationship with God. James 2:26 says, “Faith without works is dead,” because true faith changes us and compels us to live for Him. If you’re stressing over your faith, it may be an invitation to trust God more fully. Worry is sin, and worrying often reflects our attempt to rely on ourselves rather than resting in His promises. Remember, your salvation doesn’t depend on your perfection but on Christ’s finished work. Keep seeking Him through prayer and His Word, and trust that His grace is sufficient. He’s not expecting you to have it all figured out-He’s inviting you to walk with Him step by step.
@@christian_focus Thank you so much, you have no idea how much peace that gives me. I really hope that more can come back to God through your videos and advices! 🙏 ✝️
Im probably the last person that should be nitpicking because im completely horrible and God have mercy on me but, personally, I think your right, but i but If you'd take my two cents on this - is worry a really a sin? If I can recall I dont think anywhere in scripture it says that worry is a sin. Yea Jesus did say you shouldn't and it would most definitely make life easier for your self, but I think saying worry is a sin can be incredibly misleading sometimes. People do get worried, I would argue Jesus was worried and distressed before his death when his disciples were sleeping and he was praying, yet, obviously we dont say he sinned did we? And many others were too, and in the psalms of David you have him being depressed and worried but he still trusted in God. If you'd allow my two cents on this, I would argue one can be, afraid, and worried, but that doesn't mean they do not trust God - some, trust God for that matter precisely because they are and that they know God will deliver them from their worries.
SO TRUE!!!! They teach that "If you confess with your mouth and believe it in you heart, you will be saved" YOU HAVE MUCH MORE TO DO THAN THAT. ALSO The NIV Bible you should NOT read, because there is a COMPROMISE IN IT! For an example: Romans 8 King James Version 8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Compared to the NIV: 8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 So they COMPLETELY removed the "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." out. There is a REASON for this trickery.
The word Fear in Hebrew is "Yirah" which has a deeper meaning than the English word. Yirah means "fear", "awe", "respect", "reverence", and "worship" all combined so to be scared of God like He is going to slap you with lightening or something is anti-biblical but, yes, a healthy fear of disobeying God is good. Proverbs 1:7 (and most other uses of the word fear) would use this version of fear which I think it makes it way more significant.
I haven’t gone to church in months cause all I hear is god loves you not this is what your doing wrong and how to follow him. You get an Amen from me my brother in Christ and if I get the privilege to meet you in real life I would be even more blessed than I am today
Like I always say, salvation is the easy part since its a free gift from God but afterwards comes the hard part (discipleship). Sadly many people conflate them which leads to unnecessary struggle while growing in their faith. God bless brother! (This isnt directed at you, just wanted to leave that wisdom here)
If you have a moment, could you please pray for me? I don’t feel God’s presence in my life, or the presence of the Holy Spirit. I used to be close but now I am not even lukewarm, but cold. I feel forsaken and abandoned and I’m not sure what to do.
Ima be fr I am clueless of what to do. I sitll have whole life before me (probably) and I don't feel devoted at all, reflecte from the fact that each Sunday I am going to church because I am just kind of forced to. I live in a (probably) christianic family and I honestly don't give a damn about those deep down, I wouldn't want to be eternally tormented by whatever, doesn't sound like a ncie experience to say the least.
@@AlexRamirez-gw7fs I agree, his love for God should be driving out fear. But he’s relatively new to the faith and still developing - I should’ve prefaced that in the video, my bad.
I can't save anyone. Only Jesus can do that. I can't convict anyone of sin. Only the Holy Spirit can. My mission in life is not to worry about other people, and work daily to keep my lamp full, my wick trimmed, then go about helping and loving others.
Hi man, thanks for the video, but may i ask you to explain and clarify some more because i really want to understand your point but from your video i rally have only understood the half.
@SimonEbken fearing God means having deep reverence and awe for His holiness and justice, recognizing His authority over all things. It’s not terror, but respect that leads to obedience. This fear complements love, as God’s perfect love removes fear of punishment and invites us to draw near to Him as a loving Father. Together, fear and love create a balanced relationship - honoring Him while resting in His grace. Hope this makes sense, if it doesn't - just let me know
What if you live in a place where all churches are like that and you have no choice? Or like me, I live in a Muslim country and I can't find good churches.
To grow in the fear of God, spend time in His Word and prayer, letting His holiness and greatness deepen your reverence for Him. To know if you’re abiding in Christ, look for the fruit of His Spirit in your life-love, humility, and obedience. Even if you feel lost, your desire to seek Him shows He’s working in your heart. Keep pursuing Him, and trust that He will guide you.
So everyone is a ''fake Christian'' but you? That's a huge claim. Also to question someone's salvation itself is pretty big. Are you works based or grace based Christian?
@@whathappened246 of course not, when did I claim everyone but me? But of course I can question someone’s salvation, there are multiple verses about the Bible calling us to judge righteously - in order to keep other Christian’s accountable
There’s only one ancient and apostolic Faith: The Holy Catholic Faith, you either hold it whole and inviolate or you don’t. If you don’t you are not a Christian but a practitioner of a false religion. No salvation outside the True Church just as there was no salvation outside the ark. Repent… or perish.
@@T.Truthtella-n3i The Catholic Church has been guilty of practicing idolatry. A priest said that Catholics don't worship Mary, but venerate Mary. Both words mean "Revere".
And they also call their pastors father, which is against what Jesus said in the bible. There is only one father, God. To call anyone else father is blasphemy and the Catholic church promotes blasphemy and worshipping Mary and false idols. They have a Pope that reverses himself as the high one in the church and their church is hell a rich. Jesus said most of that money should go to the poor not living rich and lavish lifestyles. If people truly read the bible then they will know how far the Catholic church has fallen. Don't forget they allowed the abomination of gay Priests to be which led to the thousands of kid molestation in the church. If you are a Catholic, Satan is licking his lips waiting for your soul in hell.
To be Truly Born Again is to Trust wholeheartedly in the shed blood of Jesus Christ that washes away all our sins (Acts 20:28, 28:25-28, Romans 3:25, 5:9, Ephesians 1:13-14, 2:4-10, 4:30, Hebrews 9, 10 KJV) and Stand in the Gospel of 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV. It is so clear and so simple, and yet everyone wants to be their own savior and their own gods by their own works. We are so divided, and it had only increased since after the Apostles died out in 90 - 100AD, with the banning of Paul’s teachings and the rise of the Early Church Fathers which over time became the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and most Protestants, all originating from a sect that Jesus hates in Revelation 2 and 3 KJV.
What do you mean by " do not follow the feel good gospel"? The word gospel literally means 'good news'. It's supposed to feel good. It's the best news in the entirety of history. Being unclear can cause harm. Be careful to be clear when speaking on biblical matters. Just my advice.
Huh? For you to take advice, it has to be from a sinless man? The Bible calls us to judge righteously whilst avoiding hypocrisy. I’m judging righteously in this video as I am not what’s described
Everyone still sins. Being a sinner does not mean one is ungodly. Even the prophets of the Bible knew they were sinners. Even David, despite his sin, was called a "man after God's own heart".
@@mouthpiece200 David repented, and so should you. "If the righteous are scarcely saved, where will the ungodly and sinner appear?" Do you not know the difference between sinners and godly saints? Study to show yourself approved...
I think my church is a real one, my church is a GLOBAL methodist not a United there is a small but big difference, now this church all though it has a lot of people, a band, a small stage it’s not a mega church, we go to the live service the live service is a like a mini high school auditorium, we go to to the live service and it usually consists of two songs, announcements, one song where you don’t stand up unless you want, also an opportunity for people to pray for you, a five minute connect time where it’s mainly where people can talk, but also go to the bathroom, and get more snacks, the pastor then reads two verses, talks about them in context, probably tells a story he went through that relates to the scripture, sing our final song and leave, I’ve been to the other a couple of times and it’s basically just an old church that most people are familiar with with the stained glass windows, no connect time in this one, they sing hymns instead of songs but other then that it’s the same, my family goes there to learn about God, and connect with people and other believers, there is also many activists to do throughout the week
For all those who throw around Lukewarm within the comments, do you even know what the context is? In Revelation 3 KJV when Jesus is talking about Leodicea, he was describing the church as being Lukewarm for being rich physically when they are poor spiritually. He expects them to suffer persecution in order to be rich spiritually. Remember to Study and Rightfully Divide the Scriptures (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV).
@janvernw quitting porn never has nor never will solidify your salvation. Stop listening to these pharisees who rely on their "holiness" to save them. Read Matthew 7:22 carefullly. The man who Jesus never knew boasted of the works he did for the Lord, and we all know how that turned out...
I don’t really get this one mate, this video doesn’t even call someone likes yourself a ‘terrible Christian’. Just stay at it mate, and so will I - so we will not be lukewarm
I don’t even believe in works, God judges the heart and the Pharisees in the Bible lacked love in their heart. I like how you’ve assumed I’m some pharisee. This channel is nothing more than evangelising the word like what God calls us to do. And if that’s helping out lukewarm Christian’s then great. I don’t believe this channel will ‘get me a better chance’ with going to heaven. Why do people assume things like this?
@@christian_focus I know. I just tend to call myself that (because first : not been baptized, and not knowing my prayers) But yeah, you have a really fair point. I judge myself harshly now that I make this comment.
You’re right that we are all fallen and in need of Christ's grace. But are you insinuating that lukewarm Christians aren't a thing in the modern world?
@@christian_focus well revelations is talking about works but I think God is spitting out their works. Paul in 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 talks about work being burned up but still being saved.
Guys can you please tell me what is like to fear God becose i don't know , i pray evry day i tank him for evriting he has done i started Reading the Bible ( i am 13 yeasr old ) i got to church i forgive as he forgives me and give me the chance to repent and never commit that sin again even tho i fall short to his law evry day , i dont feel trethend by the all loving lord : Jesus Crihst of Nazareth so can you please tell me what is like to fear God
Hello. I am also 13 and, by the way I understand it, the fear of God is fearing his wrath or anger. According to Revelations, when God shows his wrath to the people who disbelieved, they suffered many things and they were in a lot of pain. Not only that, the fear of God is like a couple. The wife fears that her husband will be separated from her. Same thing with the husband, he fears that she will be separated from him. We should fear being separated from God like a lover fears separation from his/her lover. Because eternal separation from God is hell.
One thing I would like to say is, the works that we do don't make us go to heaven. It is because of the grace and mercy of God that we have salvation, if we have faith in Jesus. Ephesians 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast." Titus 3:5-7 "He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life." Romans 3:23-24 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." But, faith without works is dead and it isn't genuine. Genuine faith also includes works.
@@mizopromaimai9170 I must say, you’re very smart for a 13 year old. Way ahead of me when I was 13, keep going and allow God to carry on giving you wisdom 🙌
It is by grace through faith that we are saved lest no man should boast. Not by our own works but by faith in Jesus finished work on the cross. God has no favorites he does not need YOUR GOOD WORKS. They are like dirty rags. If we sin once in our life we are guilty of all and deserve hell each and every one of us. The Gospel means good news, I’m thankful that For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.” WE CAN NOT SAVE OURSELVES NO MATTER WHAT WE DO!! On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name? ' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness
@@christian_focus I’m sure you’re a good person with good intentions. The title of the video is there are a lot of fake Christian’s. A Christian is somebody that genuinely believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. In the video you proceed to talk about works in regards to being a “Real Christian”. Gods standard is so holy it’s impossible to meet that’s why he sent his son so we can have a relationship with him. No matter how good we think we are compared to others is irrelevant because we all miss the mark no matter how good somebody THINKS they are, we fall short once we deserve hell. If we could just be good and that’s enough God would not have needed to send his son to fulfill the law. “It is finished.” Not because of what we do but what God has done, not because of who we are but because who God is
@@christian_focus When it comes to good works, I do good works because I am saved not to be saved. I’m saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and nothing more.
From my understanding the fear of the lord is to be in awe of him and in 1 John 4:18 it says love drives out fear I could have the wrong understanding I just want to know what you think of that
That verse teaches that Gods perfect love removes the fear of condemnation for those who are in Christ. It’s basically meaning to not be scared for judgement, because you love God so much - why would you be trembling lol. And there’s too many Bible verses that suggest the fear of the Lord is the beginning of it all It’s interesting what you’ve said there because it made me think a bit lol, but I hope this helps at all
Amen I’m proud bro. We’re very blessed to be born again - look at this verse, “for many are called, but few are chosen”. Carry on exploring the love and depth of God in the Bible, you won’t look back 🎉
@@Kenzismind Know Who God Is, Spend Daily Time in God’s Word, Seek Wisdom, Live in Obedience, Pray for a Fear of God, Reflect on God’s Judgments, Spend Time in Worship, Consider Christ’s Sacrifice, Surround Yourself with Godly Community.

People of other Religions fear a god & live good lives and are they true Christians? No! A True Christian is actually someone who Believes that Jesus Christ shed His Blood on the cross as a Sacrifice for their sins, how He came back to life 3 days later, and they trust in Jesus alone (not by how they fear god or live their lives) for their salvation!
@christian_focus Slow brain people like you make the downfall of mankind, don't know what to call you, This world is fucked up you know that too well, Sin can't be magically erased in this world cause satan dwells in this place that's why Jesus died for your sins my sins, to have as a way to heaven, You ungrateful bastard. don't even dare to make a video again about this things claiming that what Jesus do is nothing it's really scary.
@@christian_focus If you're atheist then fuck off have a life somewhere else, don't deny what our king does for our life, cause if you do I'll be to much sad cause I know where the fuck people who deny Jesus goes.
From what I have read in The Bible and from what I have experienced walking with Christ is..... 1: I've been turned into a dumpster for demons and The Devil to dwell in since I was 7 years old. I'm 45 now to give this a little more realism. 2: God is NOT who Christians say he is.... at all. 3: God is merciful.... to a point. God IS love, but God is Holy. God WILL punish you for your sins just like God did in the Old Testament. Modern "Christians" like to water it down and say.... No, doesn't punish us for our sins, rather God "corrects" us." Nice wording, but it's the same thing. God KILLED Sephora and Ananias for lying. God hates liars. 4: We are covered for our sins by Jesus however we will still be penalized most severely when we screw up. 5: Look at King David. His life was a living Hell for YEARS when King Saul was trying to kill him over and over again. Yes David became King but God punished Davis repeatedly as well like for the census David did without God's say so or when he slept with Uriah's wife and had him killed. In either scenario whether you're walking with God or against God your life is going to be a living Hell no matter which direction you take. Look to The Israelites enslaved for over 400 years. Yes God "rescued" them but he put them in that spot in the first place. When they rebelled repeatedly God kept punishing the tar out of them. You don't really think God has changed, do you? 6: Walking with God/Jesus your life will be in peril every day of your life. To quote in my own way the KJV Jesus promised (paraphrasing) walk with me and your life will sucketh even more. He wasn't kidding. 7: The prophets, Disciples, Apostles and others who walked with God in the Old and New Testament lived a life of solitude full of persecution and usually were tortured for a while first before they were murdered. What is this nonsense about God's "blessings" and God wants you to live a good life? Have these people even READ The Bible even once through? 8: While in certain instances God blessed his faithful followers in a material way but they were so few and far in between it's highly unlikely especially with the Gospel this will ever occur. There is an old saying..... "God doesn't want you to be happy. God wants you to be strong." Nothing more true of a statement. However today we're told by many Christians that God wants us to be happy and be fulfilled in this life. That's a lie straight from the pit of Hell. Christian history even on a secular level proves what I say is true. 9: Becoming a Christian means you're going to LOSE everyone and everything. A true Christian who has read the Bible KNOWS this. God will take away everything that matters to you and have what matters to HIM implanted in you. You will be poor, living day to day, and begging God on a daily basis for your needs just like Jesus said. As Christians we are lambs led to the slaughter. We're SUPPOSED to suffer and die much in the same vein that Jesus did. Again.... look to the Apostles and in general Christian history for this verification. I can only surmise this is why most people reject Jesus in the first place. 10: God is NOT a huggy bear, and we need to stop promoting God as such. God gave us grace to be with him in the after life for those who believe in Jesus Christ. All else in THIS WORLD is going to be a living fricking nightmare for the rest of your natural existence. THAT is who God is. God will "test" you DAILY. God will allow you to be attacked physically, verbally, emotionally, and mentally on that DAILY basis. Think of it like this.... you're a lamb waiting for your slaughter in this world. You're a convict in the world's eyes just waiting for your execution. THAT'S what it is to walk with Christ Jesus. Period...
Thank you friend. And yeah, being born again is a life changing experience. That’s partly why I make these videos, to help people become born again. It’s a requirement for heaven
The only lukewarm Christians i notice are the hypocritical ones who rely on their works and self-proclaimed holiness. Kinda like the fellow in Matthew 7:22...
@christian_focus No, I'm not brother. Its just something i say to all brethren regarding this issue. Ive changed since becoming born again but im still a vile wicked hunan being. I know my thoughts, i know my desires and despite my wicked heart im still saved by the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross because i fully accept through faith, not because ive matured or "repented of my sins."
Ha also you say the church system is not as strong. Yes most but I know u ain’t saying ts to my church, I’ve been to maybe 6 churches in my life and all were whack and felt like a rock concert and self centered, but not mine. And it’s not about your church, or your baptism, or the communion you take twice a month, or even ‘Christianity’ it is ONLY about how u feel about, and where your heart is focused in Christ. Not a religion per se although that’s good, the word did say fellowship with one another. I think people really just oughta worry abt themselves, and not get on anyone’s head abt their relationship with The everlasting Father
Good Brother, Wisdom and Fear of God are part of the Spirit of God, But according to Isaiah 11:2-3, you are missing also the Spirit of Understanding, Council, Strength, Knowledge and Reverence(Greek Septuagint), these 7 are together with God and sent us greeting in the Book of Revelation Chapter 1 verse 4, Fear of God is the first step to Wisdom, then we need to have Reverence for our older brothers in the Kingdom of God, then we have to Study the Orthodox Bible (88 books) to have Knowledge, then you have to reach the Level of Strengh and preach the Truth of God to everyone as you are doing, then you need to agree with the Council of God(the true Church), then you reach deep Understanding and comprehension of the Spiritual world to Finally reach the Wisdom of God where we can Foresee our future hearing the voice of God as the Apostle Peter said in the Clementine Homilies that you will Love if you know the Spirit of Truth. God bless you. ;-)
No. Lukewarmness refers to self-righteousness. Read Revelation 3:17 Missing church, not reading your bible often does not mean you're a fake christian.
I have recently repented. I formerly listened to videos of I saw hell that narrated from the same so called Jesus that was the same so called Jesus in Jesus Calling Sarah Young
GOD MADE ONE TRUE CHURCH CALL CATHOLIC MEANS UNIVERSAL CALL ORTHODOX CALL ORIGINAL CALL CHRISTIAN THE BIBLE WAS MADE BY CATHOLIC CHURCH AND GOD MADE ONE TRUE CHURCH CALL CATHOLIC MEANS UNIVERSAL JESUS IS THE ONLY LIVING GOD AMEN HAIL MARY BORN WITHOUT SIN AND NEVER SIN IN HER LIFE CALL GRACE AMEN
Please stop sinning brother, you know who else knows what their supposed to be doing, and keeps on sinning anyway? Satan. Do not be deceived, you must stop sinning, and start living in accordance to God's will for your life ✝️ Pray, ask the holy spirit for guidance, and be baptized
It’s not your job to tell others how challenging their lives must be in their relationship with God. It doesn’t matter if they’re incredibly challenged or in easy comfort. God offers joy and peace to all men. And there is no law against these things. We are called to love our enemies, and our neighbors as ourselves, and to respond to others kindly, and be welcoming, more than other people who complain and bicker a lot. And here you are; condemning people you don’t know for having comfortable lives, not even idle lives. And you’re supposed to rebuke them like your brother anyway, not as your enemy. But you still want to play this game of “if you want to be a true christian, you have to do x” So I don’t understand how “real Christianity” should work when you’re literally treating people as inferior with the way you’re talking about them. Anyone who claims to love God but hate his neighbor does not love God. So I don’t think you are any more real than anyone who reads 2 Bible verses a day. And the fact that you instantly expect people that will disagree with everything you said to be swallowed in pride tells me more than enough about your false humility.
One sentence to disprove that. The Bible calls us to judge righteously, to help and keep other Christians accountable. Trust me, I have the go-ahead from the Holy Spirit because this is what MUST be done. This is the Word, people can complain or like it
@ You correct others when they are causing problems or hating their neighbor, not when they eat differently, or honor the sabbath differently, or if their faith is so weak they eat only vegetables, or when you see a speck in their eye that’s completely none of your business. You’re also not supposed to tell them they are “fake” all because they live comfortably or some petty reasons, when there are liars, false prophets, evil teachers everywhere in the Christian community. We are God’s children. Even if they’re going on a path that’s not correct, you are not supposed to tell them they are fake or anything in a way that tells them they aren’t God’s children. Jesus died for all so that anyone can be made right with God right NOW. So you must treat everyone, including your enemies, like they are your brothers. You have no excuse to say “You aren’t really with God if you do x and y” This is not what Paul did to the churches even when they were misbehaving.
Absolutely I do not believe I’m better than anyone. Pride is the burden of a foolish man. In fact, there are probably quite a few Christians in my comments who are more developed than me. The Bible calls us multiple times to judge righteously, people really do take away something from these videos as it applies to their life. If you couldn’t tell already, this is directed to lukewarm Christians.
this isn’t your job, it’s just puffing you up - Paul will teach you. And John the Baptist has already come, but every new believer thinks it’s his job again … bless you, but you’re not a prophet. There is no humility in your claims, you say many true things, and your heart has a lot of room to grow. Many young believers fall into this trap, like they have holy x-ray vision. Just think twice brother, is this helpful? Only God can make things grow; people don’t want to hear the gospel. They want to see it. I do not see or hear much Christ in this. The Spirit will convict the believer, Satan is the accuser - literally in the Hebrew language. I don’t think this is healthy or helpful. Bless you. This is a recipe for spiritual burnout.
I don't know where he took those stats from. I dislike this kind of behavior. You should never tell a beliver that he is a false one, they maybe lost, they may struggle, but as long as they truly believe in Christ, and they try, they never been "fake" Being a fake Christian... what does it even mean? You would have to actively act like one and not believe.
So Jesus was wrong when he judged churches in the book of Revelations? I don't get you. And the book of Romans Paul taught about how your works are evidence of the Holy Spirit in you - the fruits. You seem to prove the video's point and acting as if you are beyond reproach to actually hear and OBEY God.
@ jesus could never be wrong, but man thinking he’s on his level… well, there’s more than a few hundred pages of doctrine on that topic I re-read what I wrote, it’s biblical and sincere. It is the holy spirit that convicts, this is not how you make disciples or plant churches - which is what our savior left us with at the Great Commission. This looks like pride, and it damages the faith. “We preach Christ crucified”, seed and water (our job), “God gives the increase”. We don’t often even get to see the seed grow, Gods business, Gods glory. You gotta grow up, this isn’t your job, in fact it shows scriptural and theological immaturity, which is normal. Either this kid has not gotten to Paul yet or it it has not gotten into his heart, maybe both. This is a finesse sport, and the Holy Spirit is the star player, and you don’t even get a name on the back of your jersey. Matthew chapter 3 is amazing, but the rest is much more important. Humility is the barrier to the influence this young man seeks. I love him regardless, he’s going to be fine God willing, because of his hunger and thirst for righteousness, but we all gotta grow. Scripture says to treat younger men as brothers, and rebuke a wise man and he will love you. I used to be very similar, and learned slower than I needed to, but I praise the Lord for spirits like his, and that they grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
This is a very wishy-washy video. You claim not everyone believes in the true gospel and fail to give the gospel at any point in the video. It seems like you are judging people's positions based on their works which, ironically, goes against what Jesus teaches. While fearing God is absolutely the beginning of wisdom, you seem to misunderstand what it actually means. Fearing God does not mean thinking that you will die tomorrow. If your friend thinks that, that is not of the Holy Spirit but that is of the Devil. The Holy Spirit and the Gospel are meant to give you peace that surpasses understanding, they aren't meant to cause you to fear. While some of the messages in your video are good, such as reading the Bible daily, picking up your cross and denying your flesh, a lot of the messaging is poor and will likely lead babes in Christ or even unsaved people who would like to be saved astray. The gospel is found in John 3:16 and it's a massive red flag that you didn't mention it at all in the video and addressed works. Hopefully you repent of this🙏🏿 YAH bless
If you read the Bible without someone else's interpretation, you would clearly see that the Biblical Jesus worships God Almighty and commands us to do the same. Jesus does not claim to be God. Following the commands of the Biblical Jesus would actually lead you to accept and follow Islam, which actually means 'submission to the will of the One true God Almighty'. Jesus submitted to God Almighty's will and so he was, in fact a Muslim - One who submits to God's will, so were all the other prophets mentioned in the Bible. And so I invite, all who read this message to stop worshipping created things, for this is blasphemy. Instead, worship the One True Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, Allah (the arabic name for God Almighty) by submitting to His will in Islam. By doing so, you will gain eternal Paradise and save yourself from eternal Hellfire..Allah describes Himself in the Qur'an 'Say, He is Allah the One and Only. Allah the Eternal and Absolute. He begets not nor is He begotten. And there is nothing like unto Him.'
Jesus commands us to worship God? Then the disciples are in trouble. Matthew 28 9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. Take care
As an ex Christian myself, I can confidently say that only Islam will make you truly happy in this life because it's the clear truth from Allah. It is the only religion that doesn't ascribe partners nor weaknesses to God Almighty. And it's perfectly preserved and practiced today as it was revealed 14000 years ago to Allah's last and final Messenger to all of humanity, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). All the prophets and Messengers, including Jesus, Moses, and Abraham, were Muslims (those who submitted to God Almighty's will in Islam). I invite all who read this to read the Qur'an (Allah's last and perfectly preserved Revelation to the whole of mankind), and to accept Islam. By doing so, you will save yourself from eternal hellfire and gain eternal Paradise..
you really trust yourself to save yourself from Hell? Be honest. Throw your pride away, neither you or I can save ourselves from Hell. Our works are like dirty rags to the Lord Jesus Christ, his sacrifice on the cross paid for all of our sins and is enough. Those accept Jesus as God and believe unto him are saved and given salvation. Allah never came down to reveal himself to his children, in fact - Allah doesn't even consider his followers his children. He doesn't love you like Jesus does. Jesus came down and died for us because of his love for us.

Thank you for being honest. Jesus never held the truth from us even when it seemed daunting or felt like persecution but his direct honesty is out of love. I pray that others will not conform to being people pleasers and we receive this kind of boldness.
Just because people have lots of improvement to make does not mean they aren't real Christians.

Thankyou brother ❤May the spirit of the lord dwell in you always
Thank you bro 🙏
I agree wholeheartedly with this message - too many lukewarm Christian’s - I used to go to CoE youth club, they never mentioned Jesus or opened a Bible or prayed, let alone educate about repentance - and we would play ginger knock on the way home 🫣
That's exactly it! Too much lukewarmness in the world lol. Thank you for watching
Ok and? ALL YOU have been lukewarm Christians. Say you have rhythm of when you read your word and spend time with the lord, pray and worship. For me I read the word in the morning, get a little message in, thru the day I watch videos like this and avoid the negative ones that sht on people (like this) and worship/pray at night for two hours and I’ve been connecting with the Lord faithfully for a few weeks. Ok cool so I’m sure I prob won’t be able to keep my cycle, maybe even fall into more sin, which everyone does. So what that classified me as lukewarm? 😂 y’all funny if that’s bad then everyone watching this is lukewarm or has been lukewarm cuz I know y’all ain’t doing it perfectly, or think your on fire w the holt spirit just because you cast all your insecurities and lowkey hate onto other Christian’s and try n discourage them. One thing we Christian’s need to do now is know when to back off and let God fight the battles. At the end of the day it ain’t YOUR relationship with Christ Jesus, it’s MINE, and mine to walk with and bare. Y’all Christian’s hate on others so much, and even go as far to say if you fall into sin or become ‘lukewarm’ whatever that means, that you’ll be condemned to hell, nah if your saved your saved, and only God knows and can judge your heart, but that is the truth in putting my faith on it lmao. Y’all need to encourage n not break down in seeing a lot of not Christ like ‘Christian’s’ nowadays, so boom you can call THAT being lukewarm. It’s like we at each others necks and getting on one another’s heads abt doing this n that rather than focusing on your own relationship. It’s like telling your homeboy how to make love to his wife in their relationship. Fruit is fruit
@@macksmith6694thank you for saying this! I’m soooooo sick of this garbage from chrisitans…..sooooooo quick to judge each other when the bible tells us not to do that to each other. Work on your OWN salvation with fear and trembling. Don’t worry about other peoples walk
@@davis07ful the Bible says to judge righteously, are we forgetting that?
@@macksmith6694 all what you just said can be dismantled in one sentence. The Bible calls us to judge righteously multiple times, and in revelation Jesus rebukes the lukewarm church, treating them the same as he would an atheist or a satanist
I feel stuck. I was convicted of how i was living. I stopped practising certain sins - stopped fornicating and stopped drinking - i was delivered overnignt from this struggle. I heard the Gospel and deeply knew it to be true. But recently missed Church, no remorse, struggle reading my Bible (once i do i tend to enjoy and get revelation sometimes, but just picking it up in the first place) but now its affecting my fellowship too. Its like ive completely hardened to it all and keep having thoughts of not really believing. PLEASE PRAY FOR ME!!!!
I’ve prayed for you. I believe we might have to work on consistency here, because we both know if someone’s gives up pretty easy their faith is weak. I suggest turn to Jesus and re surrender your life to him. Then ask him to guide you and help you. If you feel nothing from that, God probably wants you to do it on your own - which seems fair, he’s testing you. It’s a great idea to make it a habit to read at least 1 Bible chapter daily - and you’ll grow from there with praying and developing theology etc ❤
Thank you. Sometimes my head gets so full I dunno what I think or believe. He delivered me of being a drunk, and I've been 4 years sober now. Something I definitely didn't and couldn't have done in my own strength. I was led to believe I took the mark of the beast and since gave up. Stopped praying or seeking. Now I'm begging He takes me back. I think His Spirit departed@@christian_focus
@@christian_focus I have become way more religious in the summer holidays and this Winter of 2024, before then I wasn't even trying. But when I came to this realisation in the summer, I began to pray many times a day and read atleast 1 chapter a day, but I was still watching a lot of corn and commiting other sins of course. But in the Winter I really changed after praying consistently the whole of Autumm even if I didn't feel like it. And epecially after Christmas, I have been completly corn and masturbation free since and I try to stop being so lazy and help my parents and go out and I challenge myself to read the whole bibel this year by reading 4 chapters a day. But eversince this Christmas I have also been feeling super lonely and sad, I have been crying many nights and days and I feel like everybody is going out and doing stuff (not sinful persay) and I am left behind. And that the Plans of the people I know and care about are so much diffrent. I have been asking god so much about why I have this dread and these feelings and why I am so lonely, but I am not certain on how to interpret this, is it a test? Do you know about this, can you ask god about this? Please
You knew it deeply to be true because God convicted you because you are one of sheep. Its not about stopping to sin its about beliving in the finished work on the cross. You got burned out because you believe in works based gospel. Romans 11:6 , Romans 3 and Jesus's parable of the Tax collector are sufficient. John 5:24 and many more. Also Matthew 7:21-73 Jesus is talking about people believing in their works.
Thank you my friend, God bless
Thanks for watching, God bless you
I've been wondering if I was spiritually saved. The more I watch these videos, the more I'm convinced that I was spiritually deceived.
Keep walking in the faith brother, if they hate you then you know you are doing the right thing. John 15:18 "If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you."
Amen thank you 🙏
This is an uneasy topic but its a topic that needs to be discussed.
Hope your channel blows up, kudos!!❤
Thank you friend 🙏
Thank you for this validation! I’ve been thinking that I need to fear God more! The Lord put that verse about the fear of God being the beginning of wisdom in my head and told me that’s the answer to my problems! The fear of the Lord! We must strive to live the way Jesus wants us to in order to work out our salvation in fear and trembling.
Exactly, I'm glad this resonated with you. God bless
How do we determine if someone is a lukewarm Christian?
As none of us are perfect, and i believe believers can still struggle with sin and failures like apostle Paul did
Romans 7:19-21
19 For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me.
21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good.
Any case good video
We should try to do the best we can .But we should remember it is Christ who saves us
Nobody can save themselves.

Unfortunately, most of those who call people "fake Christians" are fake themselves and modern day Pharisees. Thinking that all of your filthy rag works are what's pleasing to God is exactly the problem. Lukewarm refers to your faith in God, not your own righteousness and works, which is what many are actually trusting in and putting their faith into.
I like how you’ve just assumed that I personally believe God likes me more than others because of ‘works’. I view this channel nothing more than just evangelising the word. Not once do I claim I know it all or am better than anyone, think again before writing unproductive comments like this one
@@christian_focus I wasn't assuming that and I wasn't making a personal attack against you, I was just making a general comment based upon the message that I perceived in the video (That someone isn't a TRUE Christian based upon their works or being stuck in a sin). I certainly don't know everything either and I'm sorry if my comment left you grief. Much love, peace and many blessings in Jesus mighty name, brother in Christ.
@@dtm1351 I'm afraid you may have misinterpreted this video. I would consider someone a TRUE Christian if they have the atonement of Jesus whilst feeling bad for sin, that shows they are born again. If they feel no remorse or don't care a ton - probably lukewarm. And a Christian having works means nothing.
Grace of God be with you
@@christian_focus I watched it again. I still have a hard time with some of the phrasing, but I believe that you are genuine, and yes, a true Christian is one who is trusting in Jesus Christ alone for their salvation. Either way, I subbed to you, God Bless!
@@christian_focuswell this comment just shows you aren't a true Christian then. "Feeling bad for sin" is not a condition for salvation. To judge whether someone is saved, they must believe alone in the Lord Jesus Christ for their salvation. No other condition is needed. If you think that feeling bad for sin makes you a true Christian, and you have believed that all of your life, I'm sorry to let you know but that means you are a false brother. I say this in love. You must repent and put your faith in the Jesus Christ who died on the cross, was buried, and rose again on the third day so that whosoever believes in Him shall have everlasting life.
Revelation 3v16 never directly addresses the topic of condemnation. It is about chastisement of God's children. So many people quoting Revelation 3v16 without searching for the proper meaning.
Through the power of the Holy Spirit and answered prayer as I let myself be carried away by different kinds of teachings like you can lose salvation, lived in anxiety and depression for 3 decades until I heard a message from a brother named Onorato Diamante, Jesus Christ alone saved me from going to hell for I finally believed the simplicity of the gospel for it is written John 6:40 For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will him up at the last day. ( All praise and Glory to God alone
)
Agree, they dont teach repentance anymore. So their faith isnt genuine
Amen brother!

Very well made video man, should make more videos on this like common mistakes Christians makes and so on. Or sins most people don’t know about and such
@@blakevinccent4928 thank you friend, good idea!
I really need to know this because I feel so confused. How do I manage to balance faith with God and works for him? How come faith without works is dead but by grace alone I am saved (Ephesians 2:8-9)? Is stressing over that my faith is weak considered worrying?
I really need to know this because it's tormenting me day and night, if you can of course.
I’m sorry you’re feeling this way, but know that God sees your heart and your desire to understand Him.
Faith and works are not in opposition; they go hand in hand. We are saved by grace through faith, not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9), but genuine faith naturally produces works as evidence of our relationship with God. James 2:26 says, “Faith without works is dead,” because true faith changes us and compels us to live for Him.
If you’re stressing over your faith, it may be an invitation to trust God more fully. Worry is sin, and worrying often reflects our attempt to rely on ourselves rather than resting in His promises. Remember, your salvation doesn’t depend on your perfection but on Christ’s finished work. Keep seeking Him through prayer and His Word, and trust that His grace is sufficient. He’s not expecting you to have it all figured out-He’s inviting you to walk with Him step by step.
@@christian_focus Thank you so much, you have no idea how much peace that gives me. I really hope that more can come back to God through your videos and advices! 🙏 ✝️
@@honorations ❤️
Im probably the last person that should be nitpicking because im completely horrible and God have mercy on me but, personally, I think your right, but i but If you'd take my two cents on this - is worry a really a sin? If I can recall I dont think anywhere in scripture it says that worry is a sin. Yea Jesus did say you shouldn't and it would most definitely make life easier for your self, but I think saying worry is a sin can be incredibly misleading sometimes. People do get worried, I would argue Jesus was worried and distressed before his death when his disciples were sleeping and he was praying, yet, obviously we dont say he sinned did we? And many others were too, and in the psalms of David you have him being depressed and worried but he still trusted in God. If you'd allow my two cents on this, I would argue one can be, afraid, and worried, but that doesn't mean they do not trust God - some, trust God for that matter precisely because they are and that they know God will deliver them from their worries.
SO TRUE!!!! They teach that "If you confess with your mouth and believe it in you heart, you will be saved" YOU HAVE MUCH MORE TO DO THAN THAT. ALSO The NIV Bible you should NOT read, because there is a COMPROMISE IN IT!
For an example:
Romans 8
King James Version
8 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Compared to the NIV:
8 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2
So they COMPLETELY removed the "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." out. There is a REASON for this trickery.
Hi from the U.S.! May God bless you! 😁
The word Fear in Hebrew is "Yirah" which has a deeper meaning than the English word. Yirah means "fear", "awe", "respect", "reverence", and "worship" all combined so to be scared of God like He is going to slap you with lightening or something is anti-biblical but, yes, a healthy fear of disobeying God is good. Proverbs 1:7 (and most other uses of the word fear) would use this version of fear which I think it makes it way more significant.
I haven’t gone to church in months cause all I hear is god loves you not this is what your doing wrong and how to follow him. You get an Amen from me my brother in Christ and if I get the privilege to meet you in real life I would be even more blessed than I am today
Like I always say, salvation is the easy part since its a free gift from God but afterwards comes the hard part (discipleship). Sadly many people conflate them which leads to unnecessary struggle while growing in their faith. God bless brother!

Hi man, thanks for the video, but may i ask you to explain and clarify some more because i really want to understand your point but from your video i rally have only understood the half.
@SimonEbken hey, sure. What is it you’re stuck on?
@@christian_focus Im stuck on how much should one fear God, and what should that fear look likie, and how should it co-exsist with The love for God
@SimonEbken fearing God means having deep reverence and awe for His holiness and justice, recognizing His authority over all things. It’s not terror, but respect that leads to obedience. This fear complements love, as God’s perfect love removes fear of punishment and invites us to draw near to Him as a loving Father. Together, fear and love create a balanced relationship - honoring Him while resting in His grace.
Hope this makes sense, if it doesn't - just let me know

Very true because GOD is not a religion
How do I grow in fear of god and how do I know if I’m abiding in Christ. I feel lost and I need help
To grow in the fear of God, spend time in His Word and prayer, letting His holiness and greatness deepen your reverence for Him. To know if you’re abiding in Christ, look for the fruit of His Spirit in your life-love, humility, and obedience. Even if you feel lost, your desire to seek Him shows He’s working in your heart. Keep pursuing Him, and trust that He will guide you.
So everyone is a ''fake Christian'' but you? That's a huge claim. Also to question someone's salvation itself is pretty big. Are you works based or grace based Christian?
@@whathappened246 of course not, when did I claim everyone but me? But of course I can question someone’s salvation, there are multiple verses about the Bible calling us to judge righteously - in order to keep other Christian’s accountable
There’s only one ancient and apostolic Faith: The Holy Catholic Faith, you either hold it whole and inviolate or you don’t. If you don’t you are not a Christian but a practitioner of a false religion. No salvation outside the True Church just as there was no salvation outside the ark. Repent… or perish.
@@T.Truthtella-n3i The Catholic Church has been guilty of practicing idolatry. A priest said that Catholics don't worship Mary, but venerate Mary. Both words mean "Revere".
And they also call their pastors father, which is against what Jesus said in the bible. There is only one father, God. To call anyone else father is blasphemy and the Catholic church promotes blasphemy and worshipping Mary and false idols. They have a Pope that reverses himself as the high one in the church and their church is hell a rich. Jesus said most of that money should go to the poor not living rich and lavish lifestyles. If people truly read the bible then they will know how far the Catholic church has fallen. Don't forget they allowed the abomination of gay Priests to be which led to the thousands of kid molestation in the church. If you are a Catholic, Satan is licking his lips waiting for your soul in hell.
I recently repented and turned to the real Jesus.
To be Truly Born Again is to Trust wholeheartedly in the shed blood of Jesus Christ that washes away all our sins (Acts 20:28, 28:25-28, Romans 3:25, 5:9, Ephesians 1:13-14, 2:4-10, 4:30, Hebrews 9, 10 KJV) and Stand in the Gospel of 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV. It is so clear and so simple, and yet everyone wants to be their own savior and their own gods by their own works. We are so divided, and it had only increased since after the Apostles died out in 90 - 100AD, with the banning of Paul’s teachings and the rise of the Early Church Fathers which over time became the Roman Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and most Protestants, all originating from a sect that Jesus hates in Revelation 2 and 3 KJV.
What do you mean by " do not follow the feel good gospel"? The word gospel literally means 'good news'. It's supposed to feel good. It's the best news in the entirety of history. Being unclear can cause harm. Be careful to be clear when speaking on biblical matters. Just my advice.
NKJV Matthew 24:29:31 Amen
Amplified Version Matthew 24:29:31 Amen
Why would we take advice from a self-professed sinner? "Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly."
Huh? For you to take advice, it has to be from a sinless man? The Bible calls us to judge righteously whilst avoiding hypocrisy. I’m judging righteously in this video as I am not what’s described
Everyone still sins. Being a sinner does not mean one is ungodly. Even the prophets of the Bible knew they were sinners. Even David, despite his sin, was called a "man after God's own heart".

I think my church is a real one, my church is a GLOBAL methodist not a United there is a small but big difference, now this church all though it has a lot of people, a band, a small stage it’s not a mega church, we go to the live service the live service is a like a mini high school auditorium, we go to to the live service and it usually consists of two songs, announcements, one song where you don’t stand up unless you want, also an opportunity for people to pray for you, a five minute connect time where it’s mainly where people can talk, but also go to the bathroom, and get more snacks, the pastor then reads two verses, talks about them in context, probably tells a story he went through that relates to the scripture, sing our final song and leave, I’ve been to the other a couple of times and it’s basically just an old church that most people are familiar with with the stained glass windows, no connect time in this one, they sing hymns instead of songs but other then that it’s the same, my family goes there to learn about God, and connect with people and other believers, there is also many activists to do throughout the week
Global... as in new world order perhaps?
For all those who throw around Lukewarm within the comments, do you even know what the context is? In Revelation 3 KJV when Jesus is talking about Leodicea, he was describing the church as being Lukewarm for being rich physically when they are poor spiritually. He expects them to suffer persecution in order to be rich spiritually. Remember to Study and Rightfully Divide the Scriptures (2 Timothy 2:15 KJV).
Me, who hasn’t been baptized but isn’t lukewarm : well, that should be easy. Just… gotta remember prayers. Yeah I’m still a a terrible “Christian”.
At least the Holy Spirit did help me break from porn addiction, in 4 weeks. So I guess it’s already a. Good start!
@janvernw quitting porn never has nor never will solidify your salvation. Stop listening to these pharisees who rely on their "holiness" to save them. Read Matthew 7:22 carefullly. The man who Jesus never knew boasted of the works he did for the Lord, and we all know how that turned out...
I don’t really get this one mate, this video doesn’t even call someone likes yourself a ‘terrible Christian’. Just stay at it mate, and so will I - so we will not be lukewarm
I don’t even believe in works, God judges the heart and the Pharisees in the Bible lacked love in their heart. I like how you’ve assumed I’m some pharisee. This channel is nothing more than evangelising the word like what God calls us to do. And if that’s helping out lukewarm Christian’s then great.
I don’t believe this channel will ‘get me a better chance’ with going to heaven. Why do people assume things like this?
@@christian_focus I know. I just tend to call myself that (because first : not been baptized, and not knowing my prayers)
But yeah, you have a really fair point.
I judge myself harshly now that I make this comment.
Are we really worse than the Corinthian church? I don’t think anything has changed. We are fallen and that is why we rest on what Christ did for us.
You’re right that we are all fallen and in need of Christ's grace. But are you insinuating that lukewarm Christians aren't a thing in the modern world?
@@christian_focus define lukewarm! Lukewarm on their faith? Or lukewarm in their works?
@@jaypritchard7122 On their faith, works doesn't matter

Guys can you please tell me what is like to fear God becose i don't know , i pray evry day i tank him for evriting he has done i started Reading the Bible ( i am 13 yeasr old ) i got to church i forgive as he forgives me and give me the chance to repent and never commit that sin again even tho i fall short to his law evry day , i dont feel trethend by the all loving lord : Jesus Crihst of Nazareth so can you please tell me what is like to fear God
Hello. I am also 13 and, by the way I understand it, the fear of God is fearing his wrath or anger. According to Revelations, when God shows his wrath to the people who disbelieved, they suffered many things and they were in a lot of pain. Not only that, the fear of God is like a couple. The wife fears that her husband will be separated from her. Same thing with the husband, he fears that she will be separated from him. We should fear being separated from God like a lover fears separation from his/her lover. Because eternal separation from God is hell.
One thing I would like to say is, the works that we do don't make us go to heaven. It is because of the grace and mercy of God that we have salvation, if we have faith in Jesus.
Ephesians 2:8-9
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast."
Titus 3:5-7
"He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life."
Romans 3:23-24
"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."
But, faith without works is dead and it isn't genuine. Genuine faith also includes works.
@@mizopromaimai9170 yes i knoe that but thk for the explanation May God bless and guide you ❤️
@@mizopromaimai9170 I must say, you’re very smart for a 13 year old. Way ahead of me when I was 13, keep going and allow God to carry on giving you wisdom 🙌
It is by grace through faith that we are saved lest no man should boast. Not by our own works but by faith in Jesus finished work on the cross. God has no favorites he does not need YOUR GOOD WORKS. They are like dirty rags. If we sin once in our life we are guilty of all and deserve hell each and every one of us. The Gospel means good news, I’m thankful that For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God sent not the Son into the world to judge the world; but that the world should be saved through him.” WE CAN NOT SAVE OURSELVES NO MATTER WHAT WE DO!! On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name? ' And then will I declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness
Amen bro, we are so extremely blessed we can’t fathom it currently
@@christian_focus I’m sure you’re a good person with good intentions. The title of the video is there are a lot of fake Christian’s. A Christian is somebody that genuinely believes in Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. In the video you proceed to talk about works in regards to being a “Real Christian”. Gods standard is so holy it’s impossible to meet that’s why he sent his son so we can have a relationship with him. No matter how good we think we are compared to others is irrelevant because we all miss the mark no matter how good somebody THINKS they are, we fall short once we deserve hell. If we could just be good and that’s enough God would not have needed to send his son to fulfill the law. “It is finished.” Not because of what we do but what God has done, not because of who we are but because who God is
@@christian_focus When it comes to good works, I do good works because I am saved not to be saved. I’m saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and nothing more.
@@RighteousEmbrace 100% agree
TRUE I BELEIVE YOU BROTHER , .. IS JESUS GOD PLEASE REPLAY ?
@@Wray-q9u Jesus is indeed God 👌
From my understanding the fear of the lord is to be in awe of him and in 1 John 4:18 it says love drives out fear I could have the wrong understanding I just want to know what you think of that
That verse teaches that Gods perfect love removes the fear of condemnation for those who are in Christ. It’s basically meaning to not be scared for judgement, because you love God so much - why would you be trembling lol. And there’s too many Bible verses that suggest the fear of the Lord is the beginning of it all
It’s interesting what you’ve said there because it made me think a bit lol, but I hope this helps at all
That is why everybody needs to know about Orthodox church, it is by no means weak
I recently repented and turned to Jesus.
Amen I’m proud bro. We’re very blessed to be born again - look at this verse, “for many are called, but few are chosen”. Carry on exploring the love and depth of God in the Bible, you won’t look back 🎉
I’m so confused. :/
That’s fine, it all seems a bit mad at first. What are you stuck on pal
You can't just call Christians who are struggling fake Christians and then sell a book mate. Bit much innit.

@@Kenzismind Know Who God Is, Spend Daily Time in God’s Word, Seek Wisdom, Live in Obedience, Pray for a Fear of God, Reflect on God’s Judgments, Spend Time in Worship, Consider Christ’s Sacrifice, Surround Yourself with Godly Community.

People of other Religions fear a god & live good lives and are they true Christians? No! A True Christian is actually someone who Believes that Jesus Christ shed His Blood on the cross as a Sacrifice for their sins, how He came back to life 3 days later, and they trust in Jesus alone (not by how they fear god or live their lives) for their salvation!
Do I need to believe Jesus is God to follow him ?
Absolutely, the Son is in the Holy Trinity and to remove that from the equation is incorrect
@@christian_focus What scripture suggests I need to believe in a trinity to follow Jesus ?
@@christian_focus Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
1 Peter 3:15
Jesus paid for all the sins all over the world, the past the present the future everything, you're denying what he did on the cross.
What? Let’s do it your way, next video will be me encouraging sin and saying guys don’t worry, Jesus will forgive you so go have your fun!
@christian_focus It's about repenting you know what repenting means??
@christian_focus It's not about you sin again and again and again, its about hating sin that you will never want to do those things again.
@christian_focus Slow brain people like you make the downfall of mankind, don't know what to call you, This world is fucked up you know that too well, Sin can't be magically erased in this world cause satan dwells in this place that's why Jesus died for your sins my sins, to have as a way to heaven, You ungrateful bastard. don't even dare to make a video again about this things claiming that what Jesus do is nothing it's really scary.
@@christian_focus If you're atheist then fuck off have a life somewhere else, don't deny what our king does for our life, cause if you do I'll be to much sad cause I know where the fuck people who deny Jesus goes.
From what I have read in The Bible and from what I have experienced walking with Christ is.....
1: I've been turned into a dumpster for demons and The Devil to dwell in since I was 7 years old. I'm 45 now to give this a little more realism.
2: God is NOT who Christians say he is.... at all.
3: God is merciful.... to a point. God IS love, but God is Holy. God WILL punish you for your sins just like God did in the Old Testament. Modern "Christians" like to water it down and say.... No, doesn't punish us for our sins, rather God "corrects" us." Nice wording, but it's the same thing. God KILLED Sephora and Ananias for lying. God hates liars.
4: We are covered for our sins by Jesus however we will still be penalized most severely when we screw up.
5: Look at King David. His life was a living Hell for YEARS when King Saul was trying to kill him over and over again. Yes David became King but God punished Davis repeatedly as well like for the census David did without God's say so or when he slept with Uriah's wife and had him killed. In either scenario whether you're walking with God or against God your life is going to be a living Hell no matter which direction you take. Look to The Israelites enslaved for over 400 years. Yes God "rescued" them but he put them in that spot in the first place. When they rebelled repeatedly God kept punishing the tar out of them. You don't really think God has changed, do you?
6: Walking with God/Jesus your life will be in peril every day of your life. To quote in my own way the KJV Jesus promised (paraphrasing) walk with me and your life will sucketh even more. He wasn't kidding.
7: The prophets, Disciples, Apostles and others who walked with God in the Old and New Testament lived a life of solitude full of persecution and usually were tortured for a while first before they were murdered. What is this nonsense about God's "blessings" and God wants you to live a good life? Have these people even READ The Bible even once through?
8: While in certain instances God blessed his faithful followers in a material way but they were so few and far in between it's highly unlikely especially with the Gospel this will ever occur. There is an old saying..... "God doesn't want you to be happy. God wants you to be strong." Nothing more true of a statement. However today we're told by many Christians that God wants us to be happy and be fulfilled in this life. That's a lie straight from the pit of Hell. Christian history even on a secular level proves what I say is true.
9: Becoming a Christian means you're going to LOSE everyone and everything. A true Christian who has read the Bible KNOWS this. God will take away everything that matters to you and have what matters to HIM implanted in you. You will be poor, living day to day, and begging God on a daily basis for your needs just like Jesus said. As Christians we are lambs led to the slaughter. We're SUPPOSED to suffer and die much in the same vein that Jesus did. Again.... look to the Apostles and in general Christian history for this verification. I can only surmise this is why most people reject Jesus in the first place.
10: God is NOT a huggy bear, and we need to stop promoting God as such. God gave us grace to be with him in the after life for those who believe in Jesus Christ. All else in THIS WORLD is going to be a living fricking nightmare for the rest of your natural existence. THAT is who God is. God will "test" you DAILY. God will allow you to be attacked physically, verbally, emotionally, and mentally on that DAILY basis. Think of it like this.... you're a lamb waiting for your slaughter in this world. You're a convict in the world's eyes just waiting for your execution. THAT'S what it is to walk with Christ Jesus. Period...
Couldn’t agree more, well said ❤️👍
Hey I have a question for you @Christian Focus , do you know about the new birth experience evidenced in the gospel? You seem to have great passion!
Also I subscribed :)
Thank you friend. And yeah, being born again is a life changing experience. That’s partly why I make these videos, to help people become born again. It’s a requirement for heaven
The only lukewarm Christians i notice are the hypocritical ones who rely on their works and self-proclaimed holiness. Kinda like the fellow in Matthew 7:22...
Amen! Lukewarm refers to faith, not dirty rag works and self-righteousness.
@@ChristianComedyAndDebateChanne agreed, although I hope you’re not referring to me…
@christian_focus No, I'm not brother. Its just something i say to all brethren regarding this issue. Ive changed since becoming born again but im still a vile wicked hunan being. I know my thoughts, i know my desires and despite my wicked heart im still saved by the sacrifice Jesus made on the cross because i fully accept through faith, not because ive matured or "repented of my sins."
Ha also you say the church system is not as strong. Yes most but I know u ain’t saying ts to my church, I’ve been to maybe 6 churches in my life and all were whack and felt like a rock concert and self centered, but not mine. And it’s not about your church, or your baptism, or the communion you take twice a month, or even ‘Christianity’ it is ONLY about how u feel about, and where your heart is focused in Christ. Not a religion per se although that’s good, the word did say fellowship with one another. I think people really just oughta worry abt themselves, and not get on anyone’s head abt their relationship with The everlasting Father
Amen. And yeah, if you’ve found a strong church then that’s great - that’s a rare sighting lol
Good Brother, Wisdom and Fear of God are part of the Spirit of God, But according to Isaiah 11:2-3, you are missing also the Spirit of Understanding, Council, Strength, Knowledge and Reverence(Greek Septuagint), these 7 are together with God and sent us greeting in the Book of Revelation Chapter 1 verse 4, Fear of God is the first step to Wisdom, then we need to have Reverence for our older brothers in the Kingdom of God, then we have to Study the Orthodox Bible (88 books) to have Knowledge, then you have to reach the Level of Strengh and preach the Truth of God to everyone as you are doing, then you need to agree with the Council of God(the true Church), then you reach deep Understanding and comprehension of the Spiritual world to Finally reach the Wisdom of God where we can Foresee our future hearing the voice of God as the Apostle Peter said in the Clementine Homilies that you will Love if you know the Spirit of Truth. God bless you. ;-)
No. Lukewarmness refers to self-righteousness. Read Revelation 3:17
Missing church, not reading your bible often does not mean you're a fake christian.

Please stop sinning brother, you know who else knows what their supposed to be doing, and keeps on sinning anyway? Satan. Do not be deceived, you must stop sinning, and start living in accordance to God's will for your life ✝️ Pray, ask the holy spirit for guidance, and be baptized
Wow
It’s not your job to tell others how challenging their lives must be in their relationship with God. It doesn’t matter if they’re incredibly challenged or in easy comfort. God offers joy and peace to all men. And there is no law against these things.
We are called to love our enemies, and our neighbors as ourselves, and to respond to others kindly, and be welcoming, more than other people who complain and bicker a lot. And here you are; condemning people you don’t know for having comfortable lives, not even idle lives. And you’re supposed to rebuke them like your brother anyway, not as your enemy. But you still want to play this game of “if you want to be a true christian, you have to do x” So I don’t understand how “real Christianity” should work when you’re literally treating people as inferior with the way you’re talking about them. Anyone who claims to love God but hate his neighbor does not love God. So I don’t think you are any more real than anyone who reads 2 Bible verses a day.
And the fact that you instantly expect people that will disagree with everything you said to be swallowed in pride tells me more than enough about your false humility.
I’m sooooon sick up “Christian’s” that only want to eat each other
One sentence to disprove that. The Bible calls us to judge righteously, to help and keep other Christians accountable. Trust me, I have the go-ahead from the Holy Spirit because this is what MUST be done. This is the Word, people can complain or like it
@ You correct others when they are causing problems or hating their neighbor, not when they eat differently, or honor the sabbath differently, or if their faith is so weak they eat only vegetables, or when you see a speck in their eye that’s completely none of your business. You’re also not supposed to tell them they are “fake” all because they live comfortably or some petty reasons, when there are liars, false prophets, evil teachers everywhere in the Christian community. We are God’s children. Even if they’re going on a path that’s not correct, you are not supposed to tell them they are fake or anything in a way that tells them they aren’t God’s children. Jesus died for all so that anyone can be made right with God right NOW. So you must treat everyone, including your enemies, like they are your brothers. You have no excuse to say “You aren’t really with God if you do x and y” This is not what Paul did to the churches even when they were misbehaving.
@ you are not the The Word either. 🤦🏼
Wait wait bro??? It's like your saying that you're better than anyone else, Isn't it pride?
I don't believe at people I believe in what bible says.
Absolutely I do not believe I’m better than anyone. Pride is the burden of a foolish man. In fact, there are probably quite a few Christians in my comments who are more developed than me. The Bible calls us multiple times to judge righteously, people really do take away something from these videos as it applies to their life. If you couldn’t tell already, this is directed to lukewarm Christians.
this isn’t your job, it’s just puffing you up - Paul will teach you. And John the Baptist has already come, but every new believer thinks it’s his job again … bless you, but you’re not a prophet. There is no humility in your claims, you say many true things, and your heart has a lot of room to grow. Many young believers fall into this trap, like they have holy x-ray vision. Just think twice brother, is this helpful? Only God can make things grow; people don’t want to hear the gospel. They want to see it. I do not see or hear much Christ in this. The Spirit will convict the believer, Satan is the accuser - literally in the Hebrew language. I don’t think this is healthy or helpful. Bless you. This is a recipe for spiritual burnout.
I don't know where he took those stats from. I dislike this kind of behavior.
You should never tell a beliver that he is a false one, they maybe lost, they may struggle, but as long as they truly believe in Christ, and they try, they never been "fake"
Being a fake Christian... what does it even mean? You would have to actively act like one and not believe.
So Jesus was wrong when he judged churches in the book of Revelations? I don't get you. And the book of Romans Paul taught about how your works are evidence of the Holy Spirit in you - the fruits. You seem to prove the video's point and acting as if you are beyond reproach to actually hear and OBEY God.
@ jesus could never be wrong, but man thinking he’s on his level… well, there’s more than a few hundred pages of doctrine on that topic
I re-read what I wrote, it’s biblical and sincere. It is the holy spirit that convicts, this is not how you make disciples or plant churches - which is what our savior left us with at the Great Commission. This looks like pride, and it damages the faith. “We preach Christ crucified”, seed and water (our job), “God gives the increase”. We don’t often even get to see the seed grow, Gods business, Gods glory. You gotta grow up, this isn’t your job, in fact it shows scriptural and theological immaturity, which is normal. Either this kid has not gotten to Paul yet or it it has not gotten into his heart, maybe both. This is a finesse sport, and the Holy Spirit is the star player, and you don’t even get a name on the back of your jersey. Matthew chapter 3 is amazing, but the rest is much more important. Humility is the barrier to the influence this young man seeks. I love him regardless, he’s going to be fine God willing, because of his hunger and thirst for righteousness, but we all gotta grow. Scripture says to treat younger men as brothers, and rebuke a wise man and he will love you. I used to be very similar, and learned slower than I needed to, but I praise the Lord for spirits like his, and that they grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ.
This is a very wishy-washy video. You claim not everyone believes in the true gospel and fail to give the gospel at any point in the video. It seems like you are judging people's positions based on their works which, ironically, goes against what Jesus teaches. While fearing God is absolutely the beginning of wisdom, you seem to misunderstand what it actually means. Fearing God does not mean thinking that you will die tomorrow. If your friend thinks that, that is not of the Holy Spirit but that is of the Devil. The Holy Spirit and the Gospel are meant to give you peace that surpasses understanding, they aren't meant to cause you to fear. While some of the messages in your video are good, such as reading the Bible daily, picking up your cross and denying your flesh, a lot of the messaging is poor and will likely lead babes in Christ or even unsaved people who would like to be saved astray. The gospel is found in John 3:16 and it's a massive red flag that you didn't mention it at all in the video and addressed works. Hopefully you repent of this🙏🏿 YAH bless
If you read the Bible without someone else's interpretation, you would clearly see that the Biblical Jesus worships God Almighty and commands us to do the same. Jesus does not claim to be God. Following the commands of the Biblical Jesus would actually lead you to accept and follow Islam, which actually means 'submission to the will of the One true God Almighty'. Jesus submitted to God Almighty's will and so he was, in fact a Muslim - One who submits to God's will, so were all the other prophets mentioned in the Bible. And so I invite, all who read this message to stop worshipping created things, for this is blasphemy. Instead, worship the One True Creator of the Heavens and the Earth, Allah (the arabic name for God Almighty) by submitting to His will in Islam. By doing so, you will gain eternal Paradise and save yourself from eternal Hellfire..Allah describes Himself in the Qur'an 'Say, He is Allah the One and Only. Allah the Eternal and Absolute. He begets not nor is He begotten. And there is nothing like unto Him.'
john 8:58, John 10:30, Proverbs 8:22-31 ,Genesis 1:26, Psalm 2. Wanna try that again? @lyrickoner
😂 so you’re saying God wants us to follow a man who married a child?
Jesus commands us to worship God? Then the disciples are in trouble. Matthew 28 9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. Take care
As an ex Christian myself, I can confidently say that only Islam will make you truly happy in this life because it's the clear truth from Allah. It is the only religion that doesn't ascribe partners nor weaknesses to God Almighty. And it's perfectly preserved and practiced today as it was revealed 14000 years ago to Allah's last and final Messenger to all of humanity, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). All the prophets and Messengers, including Jesus, Moses, and Abraham, were Muslims (those who submitted to God Almighty's will in Islam). I invite all who read this to read the Qur'an (Allah's last and perfectly preserved Revelation to the whole of mankind), and to accept Islam. By doing so, you will save yourself from eternal hellfire and gain eternal Paradise..
You never were a Christian
you really trust yourself to save yourself from Hell? Be honest. Throw your pride away, neither you or I can save ourselves from Hell. Our works are like dirty rags to the Lord Jesus Christ, his sacrifice on the cross paid for all of our sins and is enough. Those accept Jesus as God and believe unto him are saved and given salvation. Allah never came down to reveal himself to his children, in fact - Allah doesn't even consider his followers his children. He doesn't love you like Jesus does. Jesus came down and died for us because of his love for us.
