You brothers are the instruments that God used to bring me into His rest because even though I have been His child for some time I had not found rest until now and I greatly appreciate your labor of love
I’m going through some very difficult things. And this dialogue was so encouraging. Christ is my rest. The Gospel brings rest and peace. Thank you so much
@@THEOCASTWhile our works do not justify us nor save us, we should (in theory) be able to live as Christ lived after we are born of the Spirit. I’m not saying y’all don’t believe this, but it could be emphasized more. Otherwise a person might open up the book of Titus one day & go into shock because of the emphasized importance of good works. The book of Titus uses pretty strong language against those who do not have good works. Strong enough that I definitely do not want to be found without them after having been justified by grace.
Be faithful in your faith in the good news or the gospel!! It is finished so rest in HIS arms!! The just needs to continue in faith of the good news!! Love you guys and press on by preaching the truth in love!!
The Scripture that terrified me was where it says we would be severed from Christ if we went back to the law. Please do a video on this so i can be more clear on it.
Sorry, 14:22 we don't say we love you because we are not perfected in love because of the law. Those who fear have not been perfected because it has to do with punishment. We don't love God until the fullness of the law is complete. We surrender and fully accept and trust in the final works of Christ and rest in him. We realized God loves us and then we love him. He first loved us, so at this point we can love him for what he did for us.
21:49 "No condemnation" Romans 14:23 says the Christian who does not walk in faith, but does what he doubts, has sinned and is "condemned". No condemnation for those in Christ, but condemnation for the Christian one who sins, sounds like the issue is not "remaining" in Christ. Makes sense, since Ro 1:16 says God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith--to fail to walk in faith is to fail to reveal God's righteousness.
@@GaryWGrice _"Research what you're saying Jesus Christ is not fictional."_ If you have evidence that the Bible figure known as Jesus existed, provide it. However, it is an absolute fact that there is literally no contemporaneous evidence that Jesus ever existed. Paul made up the Jesus fiction in 48 AD after the Daniel 9:25 prophesy failed to fulfill. Should we expect that if God was walking around town for thirty years that the locals would have noticed at the time? Fun fact: none of the Gospel authors witnessed Jesus.
@@GaryWGrice The only Bible author who claimed to have seen Jesus is Paul who asserted he met him in a vision and described him as being a bright light. Paul actually stated that his sources were non-human, "...the gospel I preached is not of human origin." (Galatians 1:11-12). The Jesus story began in 48 AD with the first of the Pauline Epistles (which comprise nearly half of the New Testament books) when Paul realized the Daniel 9:25 prophesy of a messiah expired without fulfilling so he made one up decades later and set the story decades in the past matching Jewish expectations of the messiah to make the prophesy seem true. The fulfillment of the Daniel 9:25 prophecy written in 444 BC was the test of the true messiah. By 48 AD it was known that the prophecy of a messiah coming in "seven weeks and threescore and two weeks" had not occurred on the prophesied date. It was the 69th Week and the 70th Week was soon to come. The prophesied messiah was expected and the anticipation set off a messiah craze. "Seven weeks and threescore and two weeks" is, 7 plus 60 plus 2 equals 69 total weeks. One prophetic week equals seven biblical years of 360 days (the Julian calendar was created centuries later), so 7 times 69 equals 483 total biblical years beginning with Artaxerxes' decree in 444 BC. Those 483 biblical years equal 173,880 days, or 476 Julian years. Therefore the Messiah would come and be "cut off" in AD 33. One prophetic week equaling seven Biblical years is something “Daniel” invented in about 165 BC, effectively an admission that Jeremiah 25:11-12 failed. Paul made up the entire Jesus story and added historical figures, locations, and events to add authenticity. In the Galatians "road to Damascus" conversion vision tale written in 48 AD he claimed to have gone to the Arabian desert to study the Old Testament for 17 years to align with the Daniel 9:25 prophecy. Paul's goal was to garner support for the insurrection against the Romans which began in 46 AD led by two brothers, Jacob and Simon, in the Judea province. The revolt, mainly in the Galilee, began as sporadic insurgency until it climaxed in 48 AD when it was quickly put down by Roman authorities. Both Simon and Jacob were executed. He created the fiction of having witnessed the risen messiah. He wanted to show that the messiah had come as prophesied but was murdered by the Romans. This was to entice the Gentiles to aid in the Jews' rebellion against the Romans.

If we struggle to rest, does that mean we are not saved ?

Jesus is a fictional character.
Research what you're saying Jesus Christ is not fictional.
There are 24,000 ancient New Testament manuscripts regarding Jesus my friend. There’s no doubt that he walked this Earth.
