Your Convictions About Eternal Security - Dr. Charles Stanley
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 апр 2017
- At the cross, Jesus not only triumphed over the kingdom of darkness and bought our salvation with His blood, He also gave everyone who would believe in Him a precious gift: eternal security.
In this teaching, Dr. Stanley distills the doctrine of eternal security into simple, elegant truths: God loved. God gave. We believe and are saved. Period.
Once we surrender to Jesus, we don’t have to live with insecurity about eternity.
This sermon is part of the series, The Convictions by Which We Live.

Thank God. He saved us forever. Not by work but by His grace. What an encouragement to walk daily with Him. He loves me despite who I am.
If you don't know the day you were saved, are you truly saved
Eternal Salvation is the Greatest Gift ever known to man and the devil knows the Word of God and so crafty for over 13 years I went thru alot and at my own choosing He tried to destroy me and about did but I know I am saved by the Blood of Christ and I realized I cannot make others see things the way I do all I can do is witness to them in everything I say and do and pray for them and then let God take care of it as I plant the seed that is all we can do .
Nice
Guys I was saved 2011 and I lived according to gods word for about 3 months. Long story short I fell into sin and for about 7 years I lived in torment. But still gods mercy and love was always there. I ended up in prison and I knew it was all of gods love working for me to help me get out of my lifestyle. After prison I was no longer using drugs and alcohol and sexual sin. Gods love and kindness was meant to turn us from our sin. But because of our rebellion and hard heart We give into the flesh. But god loves us to much to leave us in sin. Thats why the word says u will not continue in sin. God is very patient but there comes a time after many reproved he will destroy u with no remedy but he will not destroy us completely but he will chasten you justly and will by no means leave you unpunished. God is love guys but repent and turn from your sin now. Why wait to the point of scourging and chastisement. Your salvation is secure in Christ if you believe in him. Pray often stay in the word and never lose faith. God bless you my brothers and sisters.
When I have questions God leads me to Charles Stanley for the answers. Amen
Great choice. ☮😊
What a lie from hell this man is TEACHING PEOPLE FALSE DOCTRINE
Great message! Thank you God for giving us salvation the eternal security

Praise God a child of God can NEVER lose their salvation or sonship 💯
Great sermon Dr. Stanley! God bless you!
Amen!
Charles Stanley remains a cut above the rest....One of the only ones still preaching once saved always saved :):) God bless him.
Thank you, Pastor 🌹🌹🌹
The biggest flaw in the thinking of the enemies of Eternal Security is that they fail to realize just how sinful they are themselves. Their own pride and arrogance blind them. They hypocritically condemn other believers who live in unrepentant sin or backslide, failing to realize that they're just as sinful in God's eyes. If salvation can be lost, then who is righteous enough to keep their own salvation? Only a self-righteous hypocrite would claim to be sinless, holly and righteous enough to please God and earn their place in Glory. The Word of God in the Old Testament puts them to shame...
Isaiah 64:6, “But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.”
As for me I am a filthy rotten sinner deserving the pits of Hell and the ONLY righteousness I have is the Imputed Righteousness of Jesus Christ:
“And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was IMPUTED to him; But for us also, to whom it shall be IMPUTED, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead” (Romans 4:22-24).
Thank you for posting this, just………thank you. (Tears in eyes)
Thank you so so much Dr. Charles Stanley I truly live you with all my heart. You are definitely the one true hearted man of God. The he closest thing to Jesus this World will ever know. I've been watching you for years and not one moment I've ever gone by that you did not hit the nail on the head and your your teaching God's word was exactly what my heart always needed. You have saved my mind n life many nights. I could never live enough lifetimes to repay you. God bless you and your family abundantly forever. In Jesus name. Amen 🙏🙏🙏❤
In my humble walk with my Lord and Savior for over 5 decades (which is a blink of the eye), I have become extremely sensitive to sin, *despising my sin more and more as the The King of Kings reigns me in to Him.
It has become a part of my *given spiritual character *through the works of The Holy Spirit... This is almost impossible to express in our human language, but understand- the closer The Ancient One ☝️ brings you to The Throne of Light... closer to His Feet, the more acute and repulsive sin becomes to you. May The Lord shower you each with unspeakable blessings, His Peace, Celestial Wisdom, and His Holy Purifying Light! Amen.
Hey 💘! I noticed you are subscribed to Joseph prince you should do some research on him because he is a false teacher. I use to listen to him. Type in “Joseph prince exposed”
@@bluemeadows7520 Yes.
These RUclips comment sections are hilarious . Literally every single pastor with a big following has people posting false teacher videos on them . So all of them are fake ? I don’t think so !
Thank you Father for this uplifting word of GOD that Dr. Charles Stanley has shared with us, to help us understand the truth of salvation through the blood Jesus Christ.We trust you Holy Spirit to continue to lead us into all truth and know you will never, the word says never leave us, thank you Lord Jesus for the truth of this Holy Spirit filled message ~♥~I ask you Lord Jesus to continue to bless Dr. Charles Stanley as,he brings your love and your word to a world of hurting and lost generation ~♥~In. the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ ~♥~
Lovely message
Thank you so much for this video
this is going to affect everyone for ALL
time, eternally, it's that assurance we’re
promised, RECALL:
THIS IS GOD SPEAKING,
no magic
it's called faith in Him; His plan. NOT ours,
the key is a trusting faith; in the name of Jesus,
He
is
the
doer; if we only believe in His timing,
not our
plan.
Be committed to Him, Trust in Him. I had been disobedient, but i saw the light.
THE FEELING: OF BEING AT THE END OF OUR
ROPE. NOT HIS ROPE, OUR ROPE IS EARTH…
Amen..Jesus Christ is my Lord and Saviour..
Amen....God bless us all.
Thank God I am a human being, what is man that thou art mindful. Thank God for salvation and dying on the cross for man. Glory
God bless all

Thank you 😍 😍 😍 😍
Thank You Jesus for Dr. Charles Stanley😍❤️
God said he wish for none to perish but gave ETERNAL LIFE..which ONLY comes by way of Jesus Christ... there's no other way.. repent, ask for forgiveness,ask Jesus into your heart..confess with your mouth..and believe in your heart.. YOU are saved.. amen
Amen Grate message Dr Stanley. May God bless us all!
If eternal security isn't true then Acts 16:31 (of God's perfect words) needs to be rewritten as: They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you MIGHT be saved-you and your household.” (Niv)

while i am helpless, my faith is in Christ's shedding blood for us all.
Nobody wants to speak? What is an open forum supposed to0 do,
but create conversation?
The undeserved grace we all have is supposed to create conversation?
hope so...
I truly believe this. It makes so much sense according to the Word of God, which is the truth. What about when God said in Revelations if you are lukewarm, I will spew you out of my mouth. I need clarity. What happens if we have accepted Christ but are not "hot" as we should be.
Alice Powell-Hobson the scripture re lukewarm you're referring to has to do with churches in those days that were preaching a false gospel, preaching a false Jesus that didn't accomplish all He did. Alot of scripture like destroying the Temple, you'll know them by their fruit has to do with FALSE TEACHERS. Reason it takes so long to come to the knowledge of that truth is there are so many false prophets who of course are not going to explain that. Charles Stanley is one of the only pastors who preach the true Gospel. Ralph Yankee Arnold and Renee Roland are 2 others :)
@@robertwiegman1 I am grateful that Dr. Stanley is preaching eternal security. Yet we cannot add surrender to the gospel.
Things that are different are not the same-sermon by Dr. Curtis Hutson
God Bless you 🙏💜
Amen!Thank you, Brother Dr. Charles!
Just believe Jesus is the Christ, i,e. the all atoning sacrifice who went to the cross and paid for ALL of your sins and you're saved forever. An individual can believe alot of other things but that's the crux of whast one MUST believe, and, only ONE TIME. So simple the devil likes to make it complicated.

Dr Stanley says *_" Once we surrender to Jesus, we don’t have to live with insecurity about eternity."_* (from the description written for the video)
Not sure what he means by "surrender to Jesus" but we do have many warnings to abide in Him, and to remain "in His goodness" or grace . . . or else be "cast forth as a branch, and . . . burned" . . . "cut off":
⚫ "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." (Jesus, in John 15:6)
⚫ "For if God spared not the natural branches [the Israelites], take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off." (Romans 11:21,22)
⚫ "Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it." (Hebrews 4:1)
surrender of life is a work condition, repeat is a change of mind, not to stop sinning. Only faith in the gospel saves
I hope God will show those people that add to Salvation , and they will be saved and preach The true gospel 1 Corinthians 15 :1-4, Romans 3 :22-25, Ephesians 2:8-9.
Amen. If you read this M G, your post said repeat-not repent. Thank you for contending for the one true gospel.
You wrote *_"Only faith in the gospel saves"_*
Salvation comes by *_grace_* (Ephesians 2:8). Question is, who gets the grace?
Believers get the grace.
*_Believers_* -like Abraham (James 2:20-24)- are those who act on their faith and obey God. Otherwise faith is dead. Abraham's "works" was his obedience, acting on his faith. For *_that_* he was justified and deemed a believer . . . "and not by faith only" (James 2:20-24).
*_Believing goes beyond faith alone._* Believers are those who obey God.
Connecting the dots: Jesus saves believers. Jesus is
■ "the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him" (Hebrews 5:9)
What are we commanded to do?
■ "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent" (Acts 17:30)
Obey, and we'll receive His promised mercy:
■ "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." (Proverbs 28:13)
Otherwise we'll perish, as Jesus warned:
■ "except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Jesus, in Luke 13:5)
Peter makes it clear: come to repentance, or else perish:
■ "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)
If we'll obey and come to God in repentance, we'll have our past sins blotted out. With those past sins (which *separated* us from God, Isaiah 59:1,2) erased, we can enter "the *presence* of the Lord":
■ "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, also Romans 3:25 and 2 Peter 1:9).
How do we enter "the presence of the Lord"? By receiving the gift of the holy spirit. Who gets the holy spirit? Believers: those who obey and come to Him in repentance:
■ "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)
■ "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)
While we abide in Jesus in repentance, following the holy spirit, we are in *justiifcation* with God -not under condemnation:
■ "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." (Romans 8:1)
While we abide in Jesus in repentance, following the holy spirit, we remain "in His goodness" or grace (Romans 11:22). Jesus advocates for us with the Father (1 John 2:1) and covers -present tense- new sins by His blood (1 John 1:7).
Jesus is the potter, we are the clay. By the holy spirit Jesus leads us out of slavery to sin, preparing us for eternal life as the Father's sons and daughters. But this cannot happen unless we abide in Him and remain workable: in repentance (Romans 8:13,14). Jesus says
■ "As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent." (Jesus, in Revelation 3:19)
While we abide in Jesus in repentance, following the holy spirit, we have "the hope of salvation": the promised gift of eternal life, to be received "at the last day" (John 6:39): at Jesus' "revelation" -His return:
■ "But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ" (Paul, in 1 Thessalonians 5:8,9).
■ "And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life" (1 John 2:25).
■ "Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;" (1 Peter 1:13; also 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17)
Can we fall away from justification, and forfeit that hope of salvation? Yes, and we have many warnings not to let that happen:
■ "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." (Jesus, in John 15:6)
■ "If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:" (2 Timothy 2:12)
■ "For if God spared not the natural branches [the Israelites], take heed lest he also spare not thee.
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: *_otherwise thou also shalt be cut off."_* (Romans 11:21,22)
Paul had the holy spirit, and understood that even after preaching to others he could possibly return to a life of sin and therefore be rejected . . . thrown out . . . a "castaway":
■ "But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway." (1 Corinthians 9:27)
Judgment is on "the house of God" - His church, His people -right now:
■ "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" (1 Peter 4:17)
■ "Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it." (Hebrews 4:1)
@@TheBibleSays Hi, i want to keep it short
james 2 is about being justfied in sight of man(you dont get justfied by wworks i nthe sight of god)
- - - - - -
Is that not clear ?
titus 3:
4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Do you trust in what jesus did along on the cross(he died in you palce & rose again and also did rose again for you justfication)
or what you do to earn heaven/salvation ?
@@MG-hg1sq We are commanded to repent:
■ "And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent" (Acts 17:30)
If we'll obey, we'll receive His promised mercy and grace:
■ "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." (Proverbs 28:13)
And then our past sins will be blotted out:
■ "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).
And we'll enter His presence by the gift of the holy spirit, which God gives "to them that obey him" and "repent":
■ "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)
■ "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)
Today Jesus is
■ "the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him" (Hebrews 5:9)
Abraham was deemed a believer -and was justified to God- because he acted on His faith and obeyed God.
His faith would have been DEAD if he had not chosen to obey, (James 2:20-24)
The idea that Abraham was justified _to man_ contradicts the account in Genesis 22:
■ "And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
And the *angel of the LORD* called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him:
*for now I know that thou fearest God,* seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me." (Genesis 22:10-12)
*Please understand that "works" refers to different things in different contexts.* Abraham's "works" was his obedience, acting on his faith.That's a different thing from Paul's "works of the law" (Romans 3,4,5) and from Paul's "good works" or deeds done for others (Eph 2:9,10). Regretably people read Paul's "not by works" and take it out of context, then jump to the conclusion no works of any sort are needed. We must do the "works" of Abraham: act on our faith and obey God. Otherwise our faith is DEAD. Remember, Jesus is "the author of salvation unto all them that obey Him" (Hebrews 5:9).
We can't "earn" or labor for salvation. Nor can we "earn" redemption. Both (and also the holy spirit) are gifts given to those who follow directions.
You asked if I trust what Jesus did on the cross. Yes, of course I do. Jesus came to make His death and blood *_available_* to cover the death penalty we earn for sin. That's what He came to do (Mattheww 20:28), and that's what He finished on the cross . . . so that He might -by His death and blood, now, today- redeem us:
■ "Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." (Titus 2:14)
We can have that promised redemption if we'll obey and come to Him in repentance. Otherwise, we receive no promised mercy, and our sins remain -not blotted out- and we will pay for them ourselves, as Jesus warned:
■ "except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." (Jesus, in Luke 13:5)
Peter makes it clear: come to repentance, or else perish:
■ "The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." (2 Peter 3:9)
Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to McDonald's makes you a hamburger! 🍔😇🙏✝⛪
Or clown
Genesis 45:7
And God sent me before you to preserve you a posterity in the earth, and to save your lives by a great deliverance.
Judges 15:18
And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?
Joel 2:32
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Who did not understand the GIFT OF GOD, who thinks a gift is like to borrowing something, says negative comments. Followers of the doctrines of Arminius-Wesley-Fox Parham. May the Lord of Glory open their eyes on His marvellous Grace :)
All sin is vile in the eyes of God. All sin is turning your face away from God.
For What than is a "good" Christian, to a perfect God?

Beautiful, loved this message.
My Dad accepted the Lord in the 80's said the prayer believed God sent his Son to die on the cross to save us and give us eternal life.My Dad never read his bible never went to church said he said prayers after mom died in 2008. He passed in 2016. would he be in Heaven. Some say in this circumstance you would wonder if he was ever saved.I guess what my brother said you mean I can believe etc get baptized and just go about my life and im still saved. I said if you really believe it you change you want to know him and read your Bible go to church you have a relationship with him...So do they still go to Heaven? I don't understand

God is merciful!
God knows our heart.
We can talk about the fruits of repentance..things like reading our Bible, or going to church and such.
But Real life, and Real people are a little more nuanced.
For someone to say a person is not saved because they don't do this or participate in that claims a wisdom and knowledge only God has.
We are saved thru the cross of Christ. Period!!
We can Trust that God will do what he promised..and if your father honored the Son in his own way I am fully persuaded God will honor that!
Thanks I do believe that God knows your heart
There is no clearer explanation on this subject.
Awesome video and artwork always 🙏🏽💙
Im 50. It has taken me 35 years to understand this fully, but if I look back on my life, I can see the balanced truth conveyed in this one sermon.Thank you . Thanks be to God our Father through Jesus Christ.
Luke 12:45,46:
"But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken;
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers."
Still "saved" anyway?
I’d like Mr. Stanley to explain this scripture. I want to believe we are always Saved because our 28 year old son unexpectedly passed. He got Saved as a teen then drifted. Always had his Bible with him. I can’t bear the torment of the latter.

You speak the truth.
If you read the parable properly, the Lord is talking about an unbeliever who has never believed in his heart but gives lipservice to the Lord or might participate in religious activities. God chastens His children if they misbehave.
@@Mariachi153 It's not about an unbeliever. Twice the person is called a *servant,* not an unbeliever.
Lord Jesus called Judas a disciple... doesn't mean he was a believer.
Matthew 7:13
Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Oh that word many at how many still go down the wide gate that leads to destruction since the fall in the garden of Eden happened years before.
I heard the exact same words so that means I am sealed by God
Wow, he got through all that without even mentioning "repent" or repentance, forsaking sin. Compare that to what Jesus told His disciples to preach: *"repentance and remission of sins"* . . . not "faith alone" or "just trust Jesus":
⚫ "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)
We've all sinned, and need God's mercy. We are *promised* mercy if we'll come to repentance:
⚫ "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)
Fact is, outside of repentance we'll receive no mercy. Our sins will remain, not blotted out:
⚫ "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).
Outside of repentance we'll perish - without mercy and without redemption - paying our own death penalty. That's why Jesus warned,
⚫ "except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish" (Luke 13:5).
That's right: our sins were not "paid for" on the cross. We'll *pay for them ourselves* unless we come to repentance. Yes, Jesus died for our sins: He made His death, His blood *available* to cover the death penalty of anyone who will obey and turn from sin that earns the death penalty.
The Bible Says Repent means to change one's mind. From word Metanoia. Change of mind, that's all. In case of salvation it's changing one's mind from not believing to believing. Has nothing to do with behavior. Says in the Bible even God Himself repented.
@@robertwiegman1 I can not count how many times people - especially those in the "faith alone, already saved, eternally secure" camp - have tried to tell me that. God changed His mind about punishing Ninevah *_when they changed their minds about continuing in sin._* That's right: they _repented._
Do you want God's mercy? Here's how to get it:
⚫ "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)
Listed below are a few verses where "repent" or "repented" or "repentance" are in reference to *changing your mind about continuing in sin.* That's the context:
⚫ "And lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many which have sinned already, and have not repented of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they have committed." (the apostle Paul, 2 Corinthians 12:21)
⚫ "But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee." (Acts 8:20-22)
⚫ "And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts." (Revelation 9:20,21)
⚫ "And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,
And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds." (Rev 16:10,11)
⚫ "I hearkened and heard, but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? every one turned to his course, as the horse rusheth into the battle." (Jeremiah 8:6)
⚫ "Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. And if he trespass against thee seven times in a day, and seven times in a day turn again to thee, saying, I repent; thou shalt forgive him." (Luke 17:3,4)
⚫ "And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds." (Revelation 2:21,22)
⚫ "When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." (Mark 2:17)
⚫ "I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance." (Luke 15:7)

Description:
1) to change one's mind, i.e. to repent
2) to change one's mind for better, heartily to amend with abhorrence of one's past sins"Repentance (metanoia, 'change of mind') involves a turning with contrition from sin to God; the repentant sinner is in the proper condition to accept the divine forgiveness." (F. F. Bruce. The Acts of the Apostles [Greek Text Commentary], London: Tyndale, 1952, p. 97.)
@@TheBibleSays repent is indeed in The gospel to turn from dead works i.e. works to save self towards the work of Chrsit. That's the whole message of the gospel. Does that mean we shall continue in sin? No of course not. Because you realise at convertion how lost you are and you cannot come to an understanding of how terrible your sin nature is to even begging to repent of all sins. Repentance of sins is just another way to tell people you must reform before you can be acceptable to God. That's like telling a cancer patient go and clean yourself of that cancer before you come to me. Thats why John doesn't ever say repent of all your sins neither does paul or any of the apostals until they ARE saved( that is repantance of all sins) rather repent from unbelief to believing the gospel of What Jesus did for us taking all our sin upon Him and gives us His Spirit so that we can walk in holines through love.
@@dedios03 Sorry, but Jesus will not give you the holy spirit until you choose to come to Him in repentance. Come to repentance first, *then* you receive the mercy.
⚫ "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)
Come to repentance first, *then* you'll have your past sins "blotted out."
⚫ "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).
Come to repentance first, *then* you'll receive the gift of the holy spirit:
⚫ "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)
Your ~saved first, repent later~ theology is backwards. As Jesus said, we must endure to the end to be saved.
You wrote _"Repentance of sins is just another way to tell people you must reform before you can be acceptable to God.*_
Repentance doesn't mean perfection. Repentance is choosing to confess and forsake sin, turning from a life lived apart from God, having a heart committed to put the old life behind and begin a new life according to His will. IF we'll make that choice-to come to Him on His terms-then we'll receive His mercy. And we'll receive the holy spirit to help us on the way.
If you are born again Christian there is no such thing as works. Once you have a incredible encounter with Jesus and the holy Spirit is she'd abroad in your heart it's the power to salvation. Where is works when Jesus speaks through you.
Not true , show me one verse of scripture that says you need a experience to save and not just Putting your faith in Son Of Man .
Lordship salvation is demonic , and it sends many people to hell . Putting your soul faith in Trusting Jesus as Savior and Lord is what saves you period .

Inspiring!
Truely the Puritans believed that really regenerated person have some kind of signs in their souls. Going toward the grace, they realized their spiritual state by this convictions. Then, while justification brings forth the sanctification, sanctification is the witness of justification.
Thanks!
Thank you DR STANLEY for this sermon. It touches my heart, you give me so much to understand, I always learn so much when I listen to you. Sometimes I just want to Shout, God Bless you, you were sent by God to speak to me.Amen

teaching of things that may or may not be in the bible
In what context did Paul say that we are sealed with the Holy Spirit unto the day of redemption? Was he teaching that we don’t need to refrain from sin?
“Therefore, laying aside falsehood, SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, for we are members of one another. BE ANGRY, AND yet DO NOT SIN; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity. He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need. Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.”
Ephesians 4:25-32 NASB
Paul continues the message into chapter 5 warning the saints in Ephesus who are faithful to Christ of turning back to a sinful way of life and thus receiving God’s wrath on the sons of disobedience.
“Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma. But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.”

@@mikewiththebluecar why do you quote catholic bible (which all modern bibles are).
do you not even know that the roman catholic whore of babylon is mystery babylon from
Revelation 17 and 18? these modern bibles take things out and adds things in where they don't belong.
God hates these modern bibles that come from the vatican and they will be destroyed.
before we can talk about doctrines, we got to make sure
that the sources that we are siting are authentic and i can
tall you this with all confidence, NO MODERN BIBLE IS AUTHENTIC
IN ALL TRUTH. and if so be that this is true, then it cannot be God's word.
but i do have God's word. the King James Bible.
i'm a born again King James Bible believer you see.
and one that believes in the true, and core doctrines of biblical Christianity.
those include:
1. the Godhead (and bashing the trinity for the devil that it is)
2. dispensations (7 of them then eternity)
3. the Abrahamic covenant that was made that ensuring the
redemption of physical Israel aka literal, fleshly Jews. for thus did God
promise Abraham, Issac and Jacob (and bashing replacement theology)
4. the pre time of Jacob's trouble catching up of the body of Christ BEFORE
God's wrath is poured out on an unbelieving Christ rejecting world (which starts in Revelation 6)
and also this being a major part of dispensational doctrine which is sound doctrine according to scripture
5. true born again King James bible Believers, since we have a perfect
inspired, authorized by God book for us to read and preach from, we ought to judge ALL
by that perfect standard by which we are blessed to have in the most common, worldiwde language
6. after one gets saved, washed in the blood of the Lamb, born again,
sealed with God's Holy Spirit of promise, God will help us to clean up our life AFTER he saves us
and that a new life will naturally follow a true Christian's conversion to truth (according to scripture)
as appose to easy believism where ti states that there doesn't have to be a changed life,
you don't have to have a different (negative attitude toward sin and abhoring it(which is the true meaning of repenting of sin))
@@Phooie laugh it up hairball
it says in the new testament that widows who are young and want to remarry will bring damnation upon themselves because they left their first faith, what is first Faith? Faith is in Christ Jesus........ but the older widows who live to wash the saints feet, help the poor do good works Its been confusing to me, Christ says we are not to remarry, its what it says,
@Lit for the Lord what of adultery?
To many, all through the Bible. John 15.5 to start. Jesus always warns Christian's about losing there salvation. Sin will send Christian's to hell if they don't live a Sanctied life.
So you no longer sin? You are above it now? If you say you are without sin, you deceive yourself.

Hebrews 12:14
.....PURSUE HOLINESS without which NO ONE will see The Lord.
Eternal security belongs to those who stay the course:
Colosians 1:21-23
Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation IF YOU CONTINUE IN YOUR FAITH, established and firm, and do not move from the hope held out in the gospel.
The Lord's own words:
John 15:6
If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned.
Matthew 25:24-30
24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’ 26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
We are all servants. Will we be found faithful? These people who encourage each other in spreading false teaching need to be careful.

Jude 1:16
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.
The conditional statements in Scripture, that sounds like you can lose your salvation, are not talking about losing salvation. They are talking about losing rewards. It is the reward that you lose, not the salvation that you lose, if in fact you do not endure/ persevere with Christ. All Believers are heirs of God. But all Believers will not reign with Jesus Christ. Because there's a big difference between the two.
If you turn away from God/Jesus forsake Him & CHOOSE rather to serve the devil & no longer desire to walk with The Lord...you began to sin again & don't repent...
You will *not* be saved.
ONCE SAVED, ALWAYS SAVED is not scriptural....please, please pray to God/Jesus for understanding concerning this & all thing's.
*DO NOT BE DECEIVED.*
You can become atheist after being saved, I’ve known many people. There is no such thing as eternal security. Just look at all the messages to the churches in Revelation, God warned each one of them.
Hebrews 12:14
.....PURSUE HOLINESS without which NO ONE will see The Lord.
Eternal security:
John 10:28-29
I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.
The Lord's own teaching about the eternal security:
John 15:6
If anyone does not remain in Me, he is like a branch that is thrown away and withers. Such branches are gathered up, thrown into the fire, and burned.

Dr. Stanley
Thank you for preaching eternal security.
Jn 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever BELIEVETH in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
When we preach surrender, the question has to come to mind how much surrender? How do I surrender? What if I don’t surrender everything?
Dr. Stanley adding surrender I believe will keep the lost lost, as they don’t think they can surrender, are unsure what that means.
My surrendering is something I do, Jn 3:16 does not say believe AND surrender.
It has taken many years for me to finally understand the one true gospel. Many years of trying to surrender, many years of being on milk, I believed I needed to surrender more, be holier etc, it prevented me from having full assurance of my salvation.
I pray you read this and address this.
Suggested sermon by Dr. Curtis Hutson:
Things that are different are not the same.
God bless you Dr. Stanley
The Apostle Paul through the Inspiration of the Holy Spirit taught that one must continue in the Faith of Jesus Christ to be Saved. “And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconcile In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister:” (Colossians 1:21-23) "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." (Romans 8:1) Notice "Who walk not after the flesh..." Be not deceived, if you live a sinful lifestyle, you are not walking in the Spirit of Christ. Look what The Apostle Paul said, "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Cor. 6:9,10). Christians do sin and confess those sins to God, and God is Faithful and Just to forgive us, but if you are willfully living a sinful lifestyle, you are not walking after the Spirit. YOU MUST REMAIN WALKING IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST JESUS AND FAITH IN HIS FINISHED WORK AT THE CROSS! This is what the Apostles Paul meant when he said, "IF YE CONTINUE IN THE FAITH" This false teaching of unconditional eternal salvation means a person can go out and live in sexual perversion, lie, steal and kill people and remain in Christ Jesus. That is a lie from HELL. Romans 6:16 says, “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” 1 Corinthians 10:21 says, Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils." Unconditional Eternal Security/Once Saved Always Saved is a Lie. One must Continue in the Faith of Jesus Christ and walk after the Spirit of God; " This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God." THE WORD OF GOD (Galatians 5:16-21) Please go to evangelicaloutreach.org and you will be directed to countless scriptures that destroy the false teaching of once saved always saved. YIELD TO THE WORD OF GOD, AND NOT TO MEN!!
Romans 11:29
For Gods gifts and his call cannot be withdrawn.
Discussion over.
"For the Gifts and Calling of God are without Repentance." Meaning God's mind is not subject to change concerning His will for us. He gave His only begotten Son to draw us to Him and give us Eternal Life. That Eternal Life is guaranteed as long as we remain in Christ Jesus through Faith in His Finished Work at the Cross. If we do not walk after the Spirit and live according to the Flesh - we shall not remain in Christ Jesus. "For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live." Romans 8:13 Believe the Word of God my friend!
John 6:39 And this is the will of God, that I should not lose even one of all those he has given me, but that I should raise them up at the last day.
Gods not gonna change his mind is exactly right. His will WILL be done, regardless.
And I'm not trying to prove you wrong to make myself look super smart or whatever, I truly want you to understand how great God's love for us is!
It is the Will of God that not one single person would perish, but that all have eternal life (2 Peter 3:9) That is His Will, but the fact is...most shall perish. That is because of their own free will. God gave man free moral will and that is why Adam fell and plunged the entire creation into Sin and Death. God does not force Faith in Him on anyone -they must believe and repent by their own free will and from the heart. God gave Jesus Twelve Apostles and when Jesus prays to the Father in John 16: 6-14 he tells that one was lost - the Apostle Judas Iscariot! Judas was lost because of his own free will to betray Jesus Christ. This is the case whenever anyone forsakes the Faith in Christ Jesus and they walk according to the Flesh. "For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live" (Romans 8:13) Just believe what the Word of God says.
That's because the Bible says God repented :)
That's right: God changed His mind about punishing Nineveh because they changed their mind about continuing in sin.
Nineveh repented, they "turned from their evil way" and they received God's mercy (Jonah 3:10). Here's what Jesus had to say about Nineveh:
⚫ "The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here." (Jesus, in Matthew 12:41. That's right: they "repented": they changed their mind about continuing in sin.)
*Outside of repentance, we face condemnation. It is obvious, therefore, that "faith alone" or "just trust" is not enough.*
Jesus told His disciples to preach "repentance and remission of sins." Not "faith alone" . . . not "just trust Jesus did it all for you" . . . not "faith + nothing = salvation" . . . not some sort of prosperity/"name it and claim it" nonsense. Here's Jesus:
⚫ "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)
Those poor sheep under those sheperds preaching to them, they can use their salvation again. Living under constant stress. May they be lead to hear this message. In Jesus name. Amen.
Charles Stanley is teaching heresy of Osas. The Bible doesn't teach that. Watch last days ministries of 1000 of people having visions of hell and many pastor are there. I'm a born again Christian who had a incredible intimite walk with Jesus and I experienced hell. Jesus died for your past sins not future...he tells us to confess our sins daily and live a life of of Sanctification. Holiness! Charles Stanley has struggled for years if Osas is correct, this is coming from him.
1 Corinthians 6:9 - 10 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, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Who is deceiving you? Anyone who tells you that “fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, effeminate, abusers of themselves with mankind, thieves, the covetous, drunkards, revilers, or extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
I do not doubt this man’s love for and commitment to Christ. However I find it a tragedy that this misled man has misled so many. I beg you to study God’s word for yourself. It’s not that hard to understand.
Amen to that. Today there are many deceivers. And many are being deceived.
ken burton something to munch on:
There’s a difference between INHERITING the kingdom of God, and entering in.
Good for thought.
Mr. Stanley does not know what he is telling you. BEWARE OF THE DECEIVER!! Salvation is free from God, but it cost Jesus His Life. Now you have a lot of WORK to do to get ETERNAL LIFE. It will cost you your LIFE and a lot of TIME.
Then you are believing in a works based salvation . Which is demonic
He is WRONG! Read John 15:2
Charles Stanley is teaching a false doctrine here. Very sad.
This is not true, this is not scriptural. We CAN lose our salvation if we turn away from & forsake God/Jesus.
We must CONTINUE throughout our lives to be faithful to Him & strive to walk in righteousness.
Yeshua (Jesus) said: Those that endure to the end shall be saved. *MATTHEW 24:13*
If we cannot lose our salvation or if we have eternal security...why must we endure to the end to be saved?
That can mean endure to the end of our lives or if we are here when He returns. We must be & remain faithful.
blessed by inspiring message of Dr Charles..god bless him and his ministry.
