Can I sin as much as I want to and still be a Christian because I'm saved by grace? Does once saved always saved give me the freedom to sin and take advantage of God's grace?

No. Just because we are saved by grace doesn’t give us a license to sin. True repentance involves the changing of the mind, so that we understand the severity of sin. That is how Jesus saves, by helping us realizing how our old ways were dangerous and an unhealthy lifestyle. A true Christian would do his or her best to not sin, even if it’s inevitable. Also, I don’t want to talk like a hypocrite. I’ve definitely sinned before, we have all sin and it’s inevitable that we’re going to sin, whether intentional or not. We’re not perfect, but Jesus can show us how to be more like him.
As Christians, we should hate sin and strive to not sin. However, even if and when we do sin on purpose, we know we are saved. You can't judge that a Christian isn't "true" if they are still in sin. Nobody can live up to God's standard of perfection, so He sent Jesus to die for us and impute His righteousness upon us! So now, when God looks at us, he doesn't see our filth, he sees Jesus! Amen!
Ivan Corredera, Had you watched the video carefully? He's not teaching license to sin but rather license to live for Christ as a saint in saint world although we are living in a sinful world.
@@kimberlyeuteneier8044
That's a lie. He does see our filth. No scripture has ever said that He Doesn't see it. He sees all we do.
We're saved on basis soley of our faith, nothing more or less otherwise that would be salvation by works. God commanded us to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. End of story.
1 John 3:23 King James Version (KJV)
"And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment."
@@jonathanbock8435
So we should just believe, but not obey the commandments? Ok.
So I guess Jesus telling us to follow the Commandments is irrelevant?
Thank you for telling me what I needed to know. May the Most High bless you.
You're not really going to enjoy it anyway. God changes you so that you enjoy peace more, and spiritual deeds, treating others with Love becomes more pleasurable.
GnaReffotsirk right. I feel bad when I sin. I even do things differently and feel weird about certain things I see in life. The only sin I need to take serious gluttony. I feel so bad because that is just as much a sin as anything else. And I don’t want to trample my feet on God
TRUE ☝️
Truly, I didn't know that would happen as a new Christian. I loved weed, I was a STONER I mean every day all the time I just loved it sooo much. Well the closer I got to God I started to get convicted on it, and there will be days when I think hey a little wont hurt I'll go & try to smoke a little and the WORST feeling comes upon me. I MEAN PURE AGONY, so anxious, so paranoid, my heart starts racing. I've never felt like that with weed in my life ever before.
@@SB-ht8uo just like me and lust man. Thats how u know u got the holy spirit in ya
Jesus loves you
I hate sin and feel heartbroken when i do. I tell my father and tell him i dont want to do this eny more please help me change this. Smoking is for one.
Ive been delivered from smoking nearly a month i have not had one or craved eny Fathers amazing.
@@trisharundle1964
So happy for you. There's nothing more Powerful than the Transforming Power of God Almighty. May He continue to deliver you, deliver us, in Jesus'name. Amen
Is smoking a sin? If it is why?
@@therandomd2717 Are you asking with a sincere desire of seeking truth & understanding about smoking?
Perhaps the better question is how would God want me to treat my body, especially in light of His love for me and Jesus' sacrifice for me? Is smoking an encumbrance or yoke in my life? Is this activity bringing honor and glory to God? Why does it adversely affect every part of my body, whether I notice the symptoms or not? How does this effect my quality of life? What is the likelihood of addiction or dependency? Is smoking taking time, energy and attention from things God wants me to focus on and do (can God use me more effectively?) He does care about our earthly bodies and they are not ours to do whatever we wish. I smoked for over 20 years and I'm so thankful that God delivered me from that yoke. I am a living breathing testimony and however strong the bond, God can break it with His Ultimate Power.
Check out these Scriptures (and look for others) and pray that God speaks to your heart so you may have clear direction as He sees fit.
1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.
1 Corinthians 6:12
"I have the right to do anything," you say--but not everything is beneficial. "I have the right to do anything"--but I will not be mastered by anything.
HEBREWS 12:1
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us.
@@keeshabrown7353 Good answer. Thank you Keesha.
We can’t enjoy sinning if we are saved, the Holy Spirit will continue to convict us of it, and we don’t want to disobey GOD.
The spirit convicts me immediately
That’s how I felt when the Holy Spirit was calling me to be born again
Yeah the other day I felt like I was doing something wrong the entire day after doing a single sin the other day or the day behind it
I'm becoming a spiritual Christian. Thank You, Lord.
Same here! God bless you!
Same here!!
that doesn't even make sense, you have all your going to get at conversion
@@peterthePiper777 it has been a minute since I watched this video. I think I was referencing to a category he spoke about. I agree. We are fully christian once we accept Christ as our Savior.
Good Bless!!
Jesus had to suffer a horrendous death to pay for all of our sins. so why would we even want to continue in sin when we are granted repentance and faith and grace to be able to stop? Sin is the reason why Jesus was sent into this evil world to be slain. A true Christian feels guilty when he or she sins. A true Christian battles with sin and is at war with sin every day of their lives.
God is love
He also hates sin
@@mariamendez4062
Number one, God is holy. Number two, God is love. Number three, God is just.
@TAMITHA20. This is powerful and right and on key. U said when a born-again believer sins, he feels godly sorrow and repents. He doesn't hide his sins or make excuses..God sees and knows anyway. A born-again believer hates sin as God does. Again, all this comes as we grow in our faith in God cause we will always sin thats our sin nature. U said some so significant. WHY WOULD WE INTENTIONALLY OR EVEN WANT TO SIN AFTER JESUS PAID SUCH A HORRIBLE PRICE FOR SIN JUST SO WE CAN HAVE ETERNAL LIFE FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN HIM. This right on point! Thank u.
Jesus loves you
Faith without works is dead. You can tell a christian from a lukewarm christian by their fruit. We are saved by grace but we as believers are suppose to be the salt & light of the world. We are renewed and no longer should be living in sin. Plus many people forget about the rewards in Heaven based of how you lived your life.
Yep a believed is saved by Grace!!!
Faith without Works is dead, but that doesn't mean we're dead and frankly it doesnt matter if you have a faith that's dead or alive to be saved but that faith must be pointed at Jesus Christ!
In Revelation lukewarm was directed at a Church and Jesus was warning that Church that they could lose their witness (candle) if they don't repent. It was never meant for a single individual in context.
"You shall know them by their fruits" Yes Jesus was right when he was talking about false prophets (them) and their words and teaching (fruit).
"no longer be living in sin" a believer is no longer defined BY their sin. Sin is transgression of the law. A believer has died to the law and is alive unto Christ. A believer is under Grace and is no longer under condemnation because Jesus has already paid for all of our sins on the cross. We still sin because we still have on this dead flesh.
We must remember and constantly be reminded that it is by Grace through faith alone that gets us Eternal Life. Works never factor into the equation. Works have their place for rewards but we must make sure our foundation to keep us from falling is not our works, but Jesus Christ.
@@HenT8991 👏 well put, God bless
Kevin B, Amen!
If you sin and you don't feel bad about displeasing God then you are not a Christian.
Kevin B finally someone that has gotten it right...
Our desire to please The Father is everything! The more we please Him, the more we want to please Him! We will "sin-less" along the way. His GRACE is sufficient.
Mercer Mitchell Jr Amen
Jesus Christ Is Lord!!
The Father is Greater than the Son (Jesus) according to John 14:28) Peter identifies who Jesus is (Matt 16:16)
@@peterryan6675 Only Jesus Christ can save you not the father read Bible
😐
I grew up under the mantra, "Faith Without Works is Dead". This lead to inevitable failures that lead to guilt and a feeling of unworthiness in the midst of those who were worthy (or so I thought).
Now I understand Grace and know we are ALL unworthy. Now when I fall short I know that I am not condemned and I go to the Lord in repentance and continue striving. My relationship with God is so much more than it ever has been. When we live under legalistic teachings we will ALWAYS fail and undoubtedly fall into the curse!!! Replace my heart of stone. I love you Lord!
Edit: a few minutes after I posted this my Bible app sent my verse of the day. ' for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.' Roman's 3:23

Jesus says “if you love me you will follow my commandments”
He wasn’t talking about the 613 laws
@@michaeljohnsonsr.8034 I am OSAS As well but it would be best to elaborate.
Because of grace that doesn’t mean you should continue to sin, we should always ask forgiveness right after we sin, we shouldn’t let God come to us first like Adam and Eve did, when the ate the fruit, instead of asking God for forgiveness they didn’t and God came to them, who does when they’re going to die- no one knows,- God bless you Allen for this video
Amen to that Abena Frimpong! I agree. Thanks for sharing that. God bless,
THE BEAT by Allen Parr Watching this video has made me feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit. I feel so bad now becuz I struggle with sin and I dont want to continue on sinning. I was doing fine in my fight against sin for awhile, I was prioritizing relationship with the Lord, but I fell into a relapse. I began backsliding and now I feel hurt for the sins I've committed after watching your video. I was even feeling unsaved but I am certain I am saved becuz my salvation comes from the Lord Jesus Christ. He gave His life on the cross for my sins, He died on my behalf, and He rose again on the 3rd day. Thank you for allowing the Holy Spirit to use you for His glory and good pleasure.
Miss. Frimpong don’t you get tired of Repenting?? How many times do you have to repent To get saved!?? You are torturing your self and wearing your mind out. We are sinful. Our body’s DEMAND SIN!. Gets me depressed man. I want to seek Gods will but my FLESH WANTS OTHER THINGS!!!!!... I AM TIRED OF REPENTING. i just rest upon the word of God now and take my eyes off me and put them on JESUS. SAVED BY GRACE NOT BY WORKS TO ALL WHO BELIEVE ALL GLORY BE TO GOD!!.
@@saltisgood7961 of course everyone's human nature wants to give in to sin but don't. you're not the same person you once were when you became christian you were born again. God doesnt want us to sin so dont man, you owe it to him because he gave you eternal life.
I am so blessed to find this channel...good to see my fellow bros and sis in Christ...
Here’s my opinion:
Sin is sin, whether we commit it knowingly or unknowingly. To me, God knows the conviction of our hearts, therefore, He knows when I willfully sin and He knows the sin or sins we individually struggle with.
All of us are sinful by nature, but we can strive to lead a more Godly life. In doing so, we will stumble. If you plan to sin, that’s not stumbling because planning requires forethought and before we sin, God builds in detours, that we can choose to use or move straight ahead into sin.
Again, God the Father, who is omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent knows your heart, so for anyone choosing to sin over, it seems to be a dangerous game to play with your salvation. 🙂
This is not biblical at all. Revelation 20:12 - And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their WORKS.
@IvanMarkovicMusic I literally posted a scripture. I'm not saying just works. The bible says You can't have faith without works and vice versa. They are one in the same. That was my point.
Hey man, yes I like your thinking. I do agree that we must turn away from sin but we are not perfect and God understands that, and this is exactly why he doesn't give up on us when we get distracted from our path. Sometimes flesh takes over, but it should give in way less than us staying away from sin.
@@antwan17 the dead were judged yes, but not the ones in the book of life
“To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy-“ Jude 1:24
Thank you so much! You answer many of my questions that I've struggled with and can't seem to find anybody that can make it simple to understand in my church. I've been a Christian for 4 years and I'm 44. Not getting any younger. Some of these are pressing needs and you give me a great framework to start with in study. Thank you!
I absolutely love this video. You’re an amazing teacher, and you break down the word of God in amazing ways that are easy for myself and other believers to comprehend.
You're the man! It's channels like yours that inspired us to create a channel. Keep the great content coming!
man, I love how you broke down the "Sin World" and "Saint World" that was spot on.
I absolutely love how you explain Gods word in context! Thank you!
The biblical points you presented were helpful to many, including myself. Well done, my brother in Jesus Christ. God bless you.
I really like how you are handling all these questions. Thank you
Thank brother Allen for this awesome teaching. I at times live as a carnal Christian and I need to get my act together and take my faith more seriously.
When I came to Christ, I was on fire for the first two years. I then backslid and spent the next 25 years or so as a carnal Christian. I am now, through the grace of God, back on fire and have no doubt that I will not backslide again.
Hey bro thank the Lord for his grace because you haven't backslid as me I don't even deserve salvation but grace we are saved by grace
Powerful message, it's so crazy because I woke up with the conviction of the Holy Spirit, about some of my actions. He reminded me that I was not reading the word like I used to, and the things that I was enjoying we're not Godly. I was still going to skip out on reading even knowing this. I got on IG and RUclips instead and this video was at the top of my feed.....smh. compelled to watch, I did indeed and the message God wanted to get across to me was heard and felt in my Spirit. It as almost as if the Holy Spirit acts as a Garmin GPS for our lives constantly making reroutes base on our actions to lead us to God which ever way we turn. Allen..... Thank you for being Committed and enthusiastic about this channel and providing us with another outlet to get the word. Your head lines are VERY convicting on there own. Thank you
Thanks!excellent timing! I really needed that reminder.
Thank you very encouraging. Great teacher. God bless you and your family.
I love this video so much
Good preaching bro God bless you brother!
Thank you Jesus for the conviction. Love it when he sends messages to get me back on track. On time message!!!! There's no pleasure in this world anyways!!!!
Love how much Scripture you use. Awesome video.
Allen, you nailed it! I love you bro. Your videos are a blessing. Thank you for speaking truth in a very practical way! You are a blessing. Keep up the good work. God Bless!
God bless Michael, thank you so much for the kind words. Much appreciated. Blessings,

Love it Allen! You break things down so well. Love how you talk fast enough so the video is not too long, but not too fast, lol.
Wowww! This Guy of a Pastor is Spirit filled!!..I bless God for you brother!
Thank you, brother. This is the best explanation I've heard, and I've been looking. My large physical family is "muddled," and I haven't known how to approach each person, or deal with them or even if to pray for them or even whether to let them in my house (2 John 1:10). This 4-part expo on unbelievers, infants, carnal and flesh is good. Good job, preacher.
Pastor your ENERGY!! 🙌🏽
Im not perfect i have sin and made mistakes i forgive myself and God forgive me and i pray and ask God to help me every day. I have repentance and learning and growing and studying God's words every day thank God forgiving loving providing and protecting me. I love you God i have made alot of good changes im proud of me still focusing on God and myself to continue to do better. We are not perfect pray and go to God he will help us he know we not perfect and he will never leave nor forsake us and he forgive us and God loves us every day. God bless everyone. 🙏🙏👏👏👍👍
Traquila Smith God bless you man Amen! ✝️
This is good! Thank you for uploading this video.
Thank you, brother Allen! I’d sure love to attend a revival with you and Pastor Bob in it. 👍🏼
Wow.. I feel like this was for me. Just last night I was having mixed thoughts about my safety and security in Jesus. I’ve been going down a rough road kinda and looked at my life thinking, am I drifting from God, am I really saved? Or am I lying to myself and will have a rude awakening. I go back to my dream I had of witnessing the Rapture but I was left behind.
God bless you all and I pray for salvation for everyone. I pray for good health and happiness for everyone in these dark days. Remember when you feel down, look up. 😊
So after this video, do you still feel like you aren't saved?
I used to sin, and want to do wicked things when I smoked weed, now that Im a christian I want to do those wicked things again, to become truly evil, but I am saved by grace and Im not longer able to do those evil things.... I dont feel genuine remorse over the wrongs I do, but I feel accepting of my journey away from darkness as my flesh so desperately wants to go back
Could you explain? I feel I might be going through the same thing.
”I used to sin” We all sin. No matter if we are believers or not.
Every time I see this video I get speechless because the points are so direct and I feel your energy in the spirit thank you Mr Allen Parr❤️❤️❤️✨.
Amen Allen! Thank you so much for your absolutely fantastic content. I learn a lot from your videos and they help me majorly! You answer so many important questions that Christians struggle with daily. Keep up the great work and praise God and God bless your heart that the Lord has given you! Praise the LORD for this channel! Amen
Jesus told the adulterous Woman, after saving her life from being stoned to death. "Go And Sin No More."
Allen Parr, I am AKA Apostle Paul, I must tell you the Lord himself really really uses you there are sometimes when I have questions I know I am a minister myself but when I listen to your videos it just confirms with the Holy Ghost has already taught me that is why I am now a minister of no one's DENOMINATION!! I hope you already have millions and millions of dollars$$but I must say your WISDOM about the WORD of GOD is PRICELESS! May God continue to bless you your family and your ministry!
May God bless you Earnest! I wish I had millions but I don't. Ha, maybe one day! If not, I have learned to be content in all things...
Earnest Holton what do you mean you are AKA Apostle Paul? That looks like you are saying that you are also known as Apostle Paul...
@@awaken4Jesus I AM!!
Earnest Holton hahah my friend, you ARE NOT the Apostle Paul. This reminds me of that delusional lady going around claiming she is Mary Magdalene and is Jesus's wife. No, my man, you are Earnest. Paul is with the Lord. Please come back to reality.
Earnest Holton oh ok. Phew. Haha ok brother. Glad that's cleared up. Jesus Bless!
When you were talking about sin world vs. saint world I really had my mind blown 🤯 it’s such a simple explanation but I’ve never heard it told in that way before. Thank you Allen Parr for flipping that lightbulb switch in my brain. 🙏🏼
Amen..love how u break it down...you're straight to the point ❤️🙏😊
Second person ever I have heard that explained repentance correctly. Using the original language definition!
i did something funny like 5min ago, like mini sin if there is such thing lol all of a sudden, your notification popped up i knew immediately that God was talking to me through this video . Im like wow .
Thank you for breaking it down with truth and love I really needed this you are so right thank you Lord for this message be bless.
You're a good man dude! You are the best example of a man with unshakable faith.
Seems from the numerous comments I've read, the main argument (at times nasty and a lot of disrespect and name-calling) seems to be about salvation/saved status itself versus transformation/change/new lifestyles and attitudes being brought about as a result of said salvation.
I truly believe that Jesus' work is what saved me and any change as a consequence of that is a beautiful gift brought about by the work of the Power and Authority granted to Him and of the Holy Spirit. Even my submission and surrender and repentance is caused by Him - I call it Heart Change and New Life.
Anywho, Can we please have our words seasoned with Grace and speak to one another with deep respect. If we find ourselves disagreeing to the point where we resort to name calling and degrading, it is wise to digress and day nothing at all. To walk away is not weakness, but a STRENGTH. Some would say a clear demonstration of self-control and discipline. Just try it. Love you!
I know why believers do it.
It’s because they aren’t trusting God to fill their needs.
My child ran to sin because of a very emotionally painful marriage.
Instead of doing the work of staying in prayer, and in the word etc they chose to find their own solutions because they felt like God didn’t care.
I've been through something similar. Is she better now?
On point!!! Thanks brother Parr!
Thanks. Needed to hear this. God Bless
Ok so the faith without works is referencing the work the holy spirit does in and through a believer. You will know them by their fruits isnt simply just surface fruits. Its talking about believers who even though they struggle, their life produces fruits in its wake. While we arent perfect Jesus works through our imperfections.
These debates on can a Christian sin are straight from satan.
No where in the Bible does it say Christian's stop sinning at the moment of salvation. While I agree the Lord draws us from our old lifestyle of sin, we will not be perfected until we are called up by the Lord.
We seem to think of spiritual fruits as a physical fruit that's just kind of hanging off a Christian's ear. Spiritual fruits are direct evidence of Faith. Even our faith is of the Lord and not of ourselves. If someone has faith in Jesus that is a fruit of the Spirit.
It's time believers realize 2 things.
It's not your job to decide the intent of another person's heart, so long as they have active faith pray and support them to grow.
Not everyone has had a easy life. Some carry real pain from real experiences that you can never understand. Rape victims, surviving victims of murders, etc. Your judgements insist the way you view them is more important than the developing relation and healing Christ Jesus actually intends.
It's as though some believers actually insist faith doesnt actually heal and redeem a person. They are focused on works of their hands. Our works are an attempt to cover our sinful shame. Just as Adam and eve tried covering their shame in the garden.
My salvation is provided by Jesus, not judgemental pharisees who claim they trust in the blood of the lamb but really rely on their own works.
stvn950 exactly we’re not Pharisees but God is phar-indeed🙏🏾
It's pretty simple in my opinion....if a person has that mindset that they can keep sinning and have the fire insurance policy, then they are NOT saved to begin with. A true believer, indwelt with the Holy Spirit, will NOT have that mindset at all. Yes OSAS is completely true, IF JESUS saves us. OSAS is NOT true if the person saves themselves.
Was Simon a believer? Acts 8:13-24
@The Last Days we agree that a saved man can still sin. The question is, can a saved man sin to the point where he is eternaly lost?
@The Last Days Was Simon a believer? Saved? Acts 8:13-24
@The Last Days why does Peter give this saved man such a warning, If he could never be lost?
Acts 8:20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.
21 Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God.
22 Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity.
24 Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.
@The Last Days when I asked you before, you say he was saved, now you say he wasn't. Which one is it?
Are the words of the bible God breathed? 2 Timothy 3:16.
omg wow this video gave me so much positive energy! So blessed by God to have this opportunity to learn this about him through this video, thank you so much!!!!!
We will always struggle in this life but we must never give up. Always run to Jesus when you get in trouble never run from Him.
I'm going to say this before watching the video! Nope! You cannot live in sin & go to heaven! If this was the case then why did Jesus die for our sins?
Um? Maybe because he knows that not one human being can be sinless. 🤔
Mike Kirkland Amen brother
When Jesus died on the cross he died for our past, present, and future sins. He knew that we could not keep the standard to live a sinless life. Thank the Lord for grace and mercy. Should we keep sinning as a Christian? No we should not. But it does not mean that if you do, after accepting Christ, you will go to hell. Just try and fight the urge to sin because you want to trust and follow the Lord.
This is a RESOUNDING NO! We cannot sin as much as we want and still inherit the Kingdom of God.
"9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our Go" 1 Cor 6:9-11 KJV
That verse is referring to unrighteous, meaning non-christians...those who are unsaved.
Jesus Paid It All why they say it is for us the Christians I am glad I seen this comment
No sir. This verse is very clear. We CANNOT engage in the listed behaviors ; fornication, idolatry, adultery, etc and inherit the Kingdom of God. Please don't believe the lie.
You’re amazing, awesome video. Thank you & God bless you

@@TheBibleSays you’re quoting all those verses out of context. Hebrews and Luke are written specifically for Jews. We can apply some verses from those books to us today, but not all of them. 1 Corinthians 9 has the context of obtaining spiritual rewards in heaven, it’s not keeping salvation. “If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire” 1 Corinthians 3:15. That verse clearly explains how us as believers should serve God with our lives, but we’re not saved by it. We have to understand salvation is not of ourselves (Ephesians 2:8-9) and that the moment we believe in Christ’s sacrifice, we have all our trespasses forgiven (Colossians 2:13). No one can earn heaven, not even the Jews under the Old Testament Law could. They couldn’t fulfill it, but Christ Himself did with his sacrifice on the cross. Heaven requires complete perfection, only his blood accomplishes that for us

Hebrews was written to believers, as can be seen from Hebrews 3:1 (also 12:1,2; 12:22-24 and 13:20,21). Yes, some had been Jews, but they were now believers. And the verses apply to believers:
⚫ "Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and *High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus" (Hebrews 3:1)
==============================
You wrote *_"1 Corinthians 9 has the context of obtaining spiritual rewards in heaven, it’s not keeping salvation. "_*
Answer: that's what you want the verse to mean. But the verse says nothing about "rewards in heaven." Paul wrote that he could return to a life of sin and therefore be rejected . . . a "castaway." That means not saved.
===============================
Eph 2:8 Salvation is by grace, *"through"* faith . . . not just because you *have* faith. *Through faith* that God exists and rewards we can see that we have a choice - and a decision - to make: to "come to God" on His terms, or, to walk away. Without trust that God exists and rewards we would never see the need to come to God:
⚫ "But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." (Hebrews 11:6)
Coming to God on His terms is what pleases Him . . . not "faith alone." God's "terms" is that we repent: confess and forskake sin. For *that* we'll enter His promised mercy and grace. And aour past sins will be blotted out. And we'll receive the gift of the holy spirit, to help lead us out of slavery to sin . . . because we are willing to leave sin:
⚫ "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent" (Acts 17:30)
⚫ "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." (Proverbs 28:13)
⚫ "Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him . . . " (Isaiah 55:7)
⚫ "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord" (Acts 3:19, NKJV).
⚫ "Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 2:38)
⚫ "And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him." (Acts 5:32)
======================================
You wrote *_"the moment we believe in Christ’s sacrifice, we have all our trespasses forgiven"_*
Wrong! We must come to repentance - confessing and forsaking sin - to be forgiven and to have our past sins blotted out. Note the IF:
⚫ "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).:
⚫ "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord" (Acts 3:19, NKJV).
Did Jesus tell His disciples to preach "believe in Christ’s sacrifice"? No. He told them to preach *"repentance and remission of sins":*
⚫ "Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
And that *repentance and remission of sins* should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem." (Luke 24:45-47)
===============================================
re: Col 2:13 When we come to repentance, all our *past* sins are forgiven. We have "remission of sins that are past" (Romans 3:25). We have been "purged" of our "old sins" (2 Peter 1:9).
As long as we remain in repentance He continues to cover our new sins:
⚫ "But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1:7)
If we revert to un-repentance - willful sin - His blood is no longer available to cover our new sins:
⚫ "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries." (Hebrews 10:26,27)
===================================================
Right, we can't *earn* God's mercy and grace. They are *promised* to us if we'll follow His instructions. We'll merit His mercy and grace if we'll obey. The gift of eternal life is free, and God decides who He'll give that gift to.
===================================================
@@TheBibleSays how is willful sin any different from “regular” sin? Sin is sin, and sin deserves eternal hellfire. As I mentioned, Colossians 2:13 PROVES he died for ALL of our sins... past present and future. You also said “we can’t earn Gods grace”, but then turned around and say “but to keep it we have to obey”. That makes no sense. We can’t keep it, because we aren’t sinless! Heaven is for the sinless, and that’s the whole point of what I’m saying. Are you sinless? We cannot EARN heaven, only Jesus’ blood gets us there. Saying your works overrides what Christ did on the cross is BLASPHEMY. Ephesians 2:8-9 not only says salvation is a GIFT and unearned, but it’s not of OURSELVES (meaning anything we do). Nothing we do can please Him, our righteousness is as filthy rags as Isaiah said. How could repentence get us heaven? Salvation, again, is not anything of OURSELVES. Plus, Hebrews 10:26 seems to suggest that once we lose salvation, we can never get it back. How is that possible? Only if that book is talking to JEWS in the tribulation period if they accept the mark of the beast. It’s not for the church today. And one last thing, please explain this... “In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your SALVATION; in whom also after that ye BELIEVED (not worked for or repented) ye were SEALED with that Holy Spirit of promise” (Ephesians 1:13). The holy spirit is sealed inside of us forever, and it’s within the context of salvation. If the Holy Spirit could leave us after we received the truth, God would be a liar. And He’s not. You cannot quote one verse with its proper context within Paul’s epistles for the church that says you can lose salvation. It’s the books written for us TODAY in the church age. We must understand that God dealt with different people in different time periods in different ways, called dispensations. We are in the dispensation of grace, or the church age. Romans to Philemon are the books written to us as our doctrine for today. Pulling verses out of Hebrews and 1 John, Mark etc does not directly apply to believers today. Understanding that is essential
Yeah that carnal Christian just sounds like a lukewarm Christian to me and we know that Jesus will spew that type from His mouth. So, fellow Christians, let's be hot for Jesus.
No such as lukewarm Christian -- if you really look at Laodicea they are not even Christian they are the confused synagogue of Satan and unbelievers.
@@blackdog1153 Don't Tell them that.. it takes away their favorite verse that they like to use to strip others of their assurance of salvation and to sucker people into their salavtion by works gospel
Great Video! Thanks for sharing!
That was amazing. Thank you SO much for this word.
I do at every moment say to myself am I doing right in Gods eye's or wrong.
Yes you can live in sin. The blood does cover past present and future sins. Christians can fall but no one can snatch them out of God's hands. He who worketh not but believeth on him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness. You can quench the Holy Spirit. It won't talk to you while you override your conscience over and over but it will never leave you. At some point God will leave you to a reprobate mind but he will never leave you. Look at Solomon or Samson. Maybe you'll end up in prison or God will terminate you very quickly. Ananias and Saphira knew the Holy Spirit and they did lie to him but I guarantee you they are in Heaven. The guy who was sleeping with his father's wife, he got put out by the church so that Satan can destroy his body but he was saved. You can live in sin. The law does not save anyone. Only thing the law can do is condemn. We are under grace, we can sin all we want but God is not mocked. We will reap what we sow in this life. Don't let anyone tell you have to maintain salvation yourself. That's you saving yourself. That's works. No one is justified by works. No one can boast. You can only trust in the blood of Jesus. That's it. You can live in sin but you won't live very long on Earth doing so if you are God's child. He will get you to stop sinning even if he has to terminate you early and you will be in the presence of Jesus with a big shameful look on your face. I guarantee you it will hurt like hell looking at your savior that day because he loves you so much and you destroyed your testimony.
Just don’t try to sin.
Thank you so much Allen! So clear and encouraging 🙌
Thank you for the word of God you always share God bless you and give you more wisdom
This was an awesome explanation my brother! Great job!
You are speaking to my soul right now....Nothing but straight facts.
Very helpful..I enjoy your video's..
They answer alot of questions for me.
Absolutely love your Channel, I love how you answer a lot of tough questions, Thank You so much and God Bless You Brother!!
Amen brother amazing video. God bless your ministry.
Greatly explained, thank you Allan Parr!!!!
Amen. I believe a lot of teachers and pastors cringe when we learn about grace because they may think people look at grace as a ticket to sin but explaining things according to the word should give them encouragement to let God (who is all powerful) the spirit of God (which will lead and guide you) to do the work. We always tell people to come as you are then we usually see the new believers turn away from “practicing” sin and staying under grace. Grace is there for all of us and to remind us that we are not condemned. On the other hand some leaders on the church would like to keep people under fear which isn’t acceptable either. I hope this video blesses everyone who views it.
Well said my brother
Another great one! 👍

Wow, that was one of your most amazing videos!! Thank you
Brother, awhile ago, i prayed and i sincerely asked God to reveal or to show me about something that is very serious regarding my faith and my walking with the Lord Jesus. And then now the moment i open youtube, this video of yours puffed up. Thank you so much for this video my brother allen, may God continue to bless you and your family so you may be able to serve God more better in according to His will. All glory to God! In Jesus name, Amen!
This is a question I've been asking all my life. And was not able to find a proper answer. This Allen Parr's video is the most satisfying answer I've found so far.
Great video. Thank you. Blessings
So well explained!
H, Pastor Allen, that was a good video. God bless.
Dr.B
Love your videos brother. Great stuff
I think this was a good breakdown.
I really enjoyed this video.
Amen good video God bless you
Another thing to point out is that in 1 Corinthians 5:5 it says this “To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.” So if you continue living in sin and your saved God will bring you home early
Thank u for all your videos, very informative
Good stuff Allen!
