My favorite thing about this channel is the truth of Jesus you guys bring. Your transparency, and your fear of God. You both are an inspiration. I’m praying for you guys and I pray that God continues to use you and your wife!
Pin Apple Fearing Him does not mean actually being scared or frightened of Him. It's a way of saying respect and love Him so much - that you're afraid of breaking His trust, love and faith. That meaning you do obay, and you do listen to Him in everything you do. And once you get closer to Him, that becomes more and more clear in your life.
@Pin Apple Fearing God referes to the fear of hurting the immense love He bestowed upon us through our sin. Sin being not receiving and living His love and for that love
@Pin Apple Fearing means respecting God and the amount of power He has. We should respect and be afraid of Him having the authority to send us to hell. However, he is also a loving God who wants us to spend eternity with Him that's exactly why he sent Jesus to die for us so that we can have a chance to be with Him. If He didn't we would all deserve to go to hell. So, we have to look at all of who He is to have the correct understanding of Him. If we neglect to acknowledge any of His characteristics then we start to follow a false gospel. Not sure if that helped if you have any questions feel free to reach out!
I’m an atheist and I watching your guy’s videos for incite into this religion. These beliefs are fascinating. I respect your openness and your thoughts...
hey🙂umm just know its more than just a religion its mainly a relationship with God and i thank u for your open mindedness and please, feel free to gain more incite into what being a christian or follower of Jesus Christ is like!🙂
As I sat here listening to your words, I felt the Holy Spirit say, "He just drew a line in the sand." I will maintain my subscription to your channel for forevermore. Thank you for standing up for truth, thank you for speaking that truth in love, thank you for loving us enough to say what is hard, but what is right. You have my respect, but I have a feeling that doesn't matter to you that much. Friend, you have respect from the Father and He honors you for this video and for the line in the sand that you just ever so clearly defined. Thank you.
This is the first time I’ve ever commented on a RUclips video. I want to start off by saying that it is so refreshing to hear a RUclipsr speak TRUTH. While I grew up in a Christian community that emphasized God’s wrath/hell more than God’s love, I know both are equally true and important. So, thank you for taking a risk that not many RUclipsrs would take, and standing up for real, solid, truth.
I needed to hear this, I’ve been in a constant battle with sin and addiction. I feel so far away from God right now. I will take all the prayers I can get.
We all go through things, you are not alone! All things are possible with God and he is always near. I’ll pray for you and for God to give you strength♥️
Hey Nate & Sutton, im 21 years of age and have been subscribed for a while, I really love y’all’s channel. The Bible says lean not on your own understanding and yall really do live by that. Thank you for not being one of those faith channels that one way or another justifies their actions. You have showed time and time again that you live by what the bible says and learn everyday. Thank you. God bless!
I know yall prayed about this. I know y'all went to God and His Word before y'all made this. I know y'all felt convicted to share. And I'm so grateful. Your courage to share shows that you love us even without knowing us. And you're empowering believers everywhere to have that same courage to obey in this same way! ❤️
This topic is really hard and I’m afraid to speak to my family members about it wondering how they might feel please pray for me that this spirit of fear may be removed from my heart and I can boldly do Gods will🙏🏾
I totally understand. I have quite a few family members who don't know the Lord. When I was younger I tried to talk to them about things of the Lord during family get togethers, but they just laughed and said it was sweet and not for them. 😕 Now, their money is their Lord and they don't think they need anything else. All I can do is pray for them.
I’m quite sure this was the sign I asked God for. I’ve always known He’s there, He even performed a miracle in my life, which brought me to tears. However, I’ve always struggled with praying and reading the Word. Why? Because when I prayed, most of the times I asked God for something (either someone’s salvation, a dream, etc) and didn’t get it. That’s normal since I literally expected God to do what I wanted and quick. Plus, the longest I prayed for was a week. My heart was not at the right place. God is teaching me that I have to trust Him. On the other hand, reading the Word can also be hard sometimes because I might have trouble understanding why some things happened the way they did. But I have the Internet, I have my dad, I have so many sources to go to for understanding. The most important one being Him. I have been born again, even though I tend to go away from God after a moment of passion for my Saviour. I need to be constant. It’s just sad because everytime I go astray, I feel like I willingly do so. My spirit tells me not to sin, but I willingly sin. No matter how little the sin is. I choose it. Deep down in my heart I know I don’t want to do it, but when you are not with God, these things are expected. Being in His Presence is the most important thing. Truly I tell you, if you’re not praying, if you’re not reading the Word, you are going to believe the lies of the world and you will end up sinning. This is probably too long. I just wanted you guys to know that today I asked God for a sign in order to know He’s here. I asked for discernment as well for many times I’m not sure if I’m making it up or if it’s actually from Yahweh. This video was uploaded two days ago. It should’ve been in my recommended earlier. But no. Today, I opened my phone and something in me told me to open RUclips altough I always go for Instagram. And then “boom” . This was literally the first video on my feed. And it talks exactly about what I’m going hrough. Abba is sending me a message through you Nate and Sutton. Thank you, Father. ✝️💜
Gio's Journey thank you so much for sharing with us your vulnerability!!! Praise Jesus!! He seriously works in the coolest ways. This is just the beginning of all the things he wants to experience with you!
May God continue to bless you! You're going to grow spiritually as you testify about overcoming your mistakes. God is showing you that He cares about you so much because you are His masterpiece- a very good creation that has a purpose. And you are using it by sharing your testimonies and experiences. Keep building up your faith and show it through works like this!
@Gio’s Journey- WOW thank you for sharing so vulnerably. This is real and I have definitely been there. Really being able to commit to my relationship with God, for me started with studying the Bible- specifically getting to know the heart of God in the Scriptures and getting to know his love for me. You can totally email me here amanda.sherose@gmail.com and I could connect you with some resources for virtual Bible studies which I found to be life changing. Hope to hear from you!
But how do we establish this relationship When you fo nothing but sin When you lost Confused Not ready to let go of sinful life Because am going through this now. And am just 14
Kerry Ikechukwu First of all you need to understand that all human beings are sinning and you are not worse than another human being, the second thing you must remember is that Jesus died for your sins, which means there is forgiveness for your sins! And following that understanding, you have to understand that without Jesus and without a real relationship with God, you will live an eternal life of suffering and pain, but to overcome sin you really need to seek this relationship with God, God says that whoever is truly looking seeking this relationship, will find, and so slowly you will see how much you want to dedicate your life to Jesus, to leave sin and to cling to be more pure
Kerry champ Jesus died on the cross for all of us he washed away all of our sins and to tell you the truth we all sin. There might be times we sin and not realize it. If you believe in the truth of who God is and you have a relationship with him then that’s all that matters. He is there for you and never turns away from you ever because he loves you. God doesn’t see when we sin all he sees is our hearts and I want you to know that God loves you so much. He is there and he understands what you’re going through and he knows you better than anybody else does. We were all created in his image to live and exist. I know you’re only 14 but don’t lose hope and sight of what’s most important in your life. You’re valuable and you’re so important. I hope things get better for you continue pushing through and don’t give up when things get tough. I hope you have a blessed rest of your week! Ephesians 1:4 says “For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight”.
The other day before I started reading the Bible, I got the words, “start from the beginning” So I did decide to start reading the Bible from the beginning. I was at 2nd Samuel but now I went back to Genesis. I definitely want God in my life so I’m gonna do what I can to keep listening and doing as told. Thank you for your video. God is so good.
Love this! Grab some highlighters and a good companion study book as you go through it! I'm doing the same now :) but it's been hard to stay on top of it so those are a couple things I've done to help me stay focused and continuing to joyfully seek the Word!
@@destineemorris2561 Something I do is just commit to reading at least one chapter a night. That way it's easy for me to have a constant flow of biblical knowledge and dedication
I guess you got to the part in 2 Samuel 12 where God not only kills an infant but makes is sick for 7 days first. Yep, the story of David makes me question everything.
I shutter at the thought of hearing, “Depart from me I never knew you!” Which is why the Bible says make your call & election sure. We must ask God to search our hearts constantly and show us the things that are displeasing to Him and work on us. Refine us unto His image because I want to hear well done! And one way I know and am assured of my salvation is that the mere desire to truly please God can only be as a result of His Holy Spirit within me. On my own I want nothing to do with Him. And that sweet fellowship I now have is because of his extension of grace and salvation to me! Thanks for the reminder and the truth. And God bless you guys for your boldness.
In thorough honesty, this video is in perfect timing for me. Recently I’ve been so discouraged in reading my bible and praying because I feel like I’m so far gone and sorta “incapable” of being saved. I think this video was a reminder that I need to really rearrange my focus.
Jayla Carr I’m sure you’ve heard the song by Jordan Feliz, Never Too Far Gone, but it’s such a great reminder that we can do NOTHING to ever separate ourselves from Him. “You will never outrun My love”. He is so good ❤️
Hey Jayla! You will never be capable to be saved, and this is a good news because Jesus died for us when we were sinners. He loved us before we loved Him. Nothing can separate us from the love of God- Romans 8:39. Psalm 139- He knows everything about us❤️ Take time to be in prayer and read the word. Pursue Him and believe in His Word, everything outside the Word is a lie of the Devil. God bless.
Consider the thief on the cross. When Christ was crucified there was a thief hanging there beside him. He did not live a "worthy" life...but as he seen Jesus dying for Him, he had faith in Him. And that's all it took for the thief to be saved. It's not what we do, or how we are, but it's believing in what Jesus did for us, fully placing your faith in Him and His plan of salvation, asking Him to forgive you and save you and truly believe. Hope this encourages you.
as others have said, you’re never too far gone for Jesus to save you! He is infinitely powerful, we are incapable of being too far gone. think about the apostle paul, he would be equated to modern day isis, he was murdering christians for no valid reason and God transformes his life and turned him into one of the strongest christian men in history. God saved the apostle paul and God can save you! ❤️
“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?” 2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV
How fitting, to open RUclips and watch this video. Just this morning i was standing at my kitchen Sink looking out the window as the Rain gently fell, and i thought of Jesus giving his life for us and washing us clean. And then my mind turned to His return, and those who will enter his Kingdom and those who will he cast away, and i just turned to prayer because i know He is the only one who can work in family and friends lives who need to Surrender all to Him. God Bless yall, Nate and Sutton keep, unapologetically but lovingly sharing!!!🙏🥰🙏🥰🙏
This is my favorite Bible verse I want you guys to remember it. 1 Peter 5:7"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" You guys truly are great people.
Thank you for this Nate🙌🏾 The truth may not always be appreciated by people at first, but it is needed. Especially in an age where morality is getting confused with Christianity. This is clearly from a place of love! Keep it up guys 🙏🏾 God bless and stay safe xx
I just subscribed because of this video. It takes very special, courageous people to call others out. In every day life, it is a true friend that calls you out and tells you when you are doing/saying something wrong. Nate and Sutton, you are giving a message to the world that the world needs to hear. I am so grateful for people like you! I hope to be as courageous some day! God bless you and your family!
Yes.... Totally got the point. We need a deep relationship with Jesus. Thanks for sharing this video. He has speaking so much about it to me. Spending the eternity away from the Lord is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone. That's why we need to embrace the Gospel to us and share it to people. P.s. I would love to have this video with Portuguese subtitles so I can share with my friends. 🥰
I was literally talking to my girlfriend on FaceTime about false converts in the church and how scary it has to be to be told “depart from me, I never knew you” and I got a notification on this video! We were even talking about James 2:17 specifically and how believing isn’t enough because even demons believe! Crazy! God bless you! Remember the more hate you get, the more God blesses you!
Manuel Estevez literally had the same conversation with my friend this evening too ! There is also a need to not just have works but to know Jesus deeply and intimately !
@@zaratswanya4590 It means that a person thinks they are saved but aren't. Or maybe they were told they were saved and believed that person. Ultimately, false converts are not disciples of Jesus and will run when persecution comes because they never met him personally.
Please continue this message. It is needed. I always fear I'm not enough, don't have the right faith, etc. I'll appreciate any and all help in understanding the Word.
I don’t even know who they are this was the first video I have watched and I will subscribe bc i think this was the first real believer I’ve found on RUclips. So encouraging.
What a hilariously ironic comment to hear from a person that is actually endorsing the exact opposite; an obvious fairy tale narrative that is precisely made up to comfort grown up people from the unpleasant truth of mortality...
@@johnsanders8791 I'd suggest watching their video on why they believe and it should be evident that Christians aren't merely following some made up tale.
I’m 21 years old and watch every single video on your channel. Thank you for being a role model. Thank you for inpiring me and always speaking the truth. We truly need more people like you and Sutton. You guys feel like my second parents. May your family be blessed.
I respect you and your message. But as a life long Christian, I truly don’t believe that if you make mistakes in your life you will not go to heaven. I truly believe that God is a merciful God and as long as you believe in him and repent your sins you will go to heaven. I think about the thief that was next to Jesus on the cross and said “Jesus remember when you come into your kingdom (Luke 23:42).” and Jesus responded “I tell you the truth: today you will be with me in paradise Luke 23:43).” May God bless you and your family
Julia Breitenbach I totally agree with you! However, that’s what they’re saying too! They’re just taking it one step further in saying where is you heart behind all of it. Is your faith just a mask where you go through the routine, or are you partnering your heart w Jesus’ and having the right faith and intentions behind it. Are you truly getting to know Jesus and allowing him to do the same w you? Or are you just going through the motions. All the Pharisees even kept up with all the commandments, which is honorable! but it angered Jesus that they honored the Sabbath more than caring for their brother or sister. It’s all about the heart and where the intentional priorities are. If you’re embodying Him and allowing Him to use you as His vessel, or still playing your own lord. And if you recognize this, you can repent and be forgiven!! That’s the beauty of it all!
Julia Breitenbach Agreed 😊 I’m a Catholic and we even have the sacrament of Reconciliation, which is like the only “true” way to be absolved of your sins. But we are also taught that if in your heart of hearts, if you truly repent for your sins and do your best to avoid that sin, you are forgiven. Jesus calls us to be the best people we can be and calls us to strive for divine holiness, yet He also recognizes that we are *human*. My best may look different from your best, but that doesn’t mean we both aren’t doing our best. Again, as a Catholic, I have been raised with a sense of fear and guilt!-but at the end of the day, He gave us Jesus so that we could be saved for our sins. That to me is the defining factor of our Lord-infinite love for His children. That’s why we have free will and the capacity to sin. Because following Him from a place of fear, which is a lack of control in itself, is what He desires-that we follow him from a place of love. That no matter how difficult the journey and how painful the falls, we always get back up and strive to be with Him. So anyway, thanks for your comment. I really appreciate you speaking up and sharing your truth.
This is such a hard pill to swallow but it is the truth I read in my Bible. I've never really heard of this in any church. I started realizing only when I read my Bible. I pray to God to have mercy on me to make me strong till the end. To change me, mold me, help me obey him. I struggle a lot when it comes to sharing the gospel with others. I know God commands us to do so and I want Him to tell me, once he comes back, that I was a good servant and to let me in His Kingdom. Please pray for me to have more strenght and courage to obey our Lord Jesus Christ and to not be ashamed of His name, not afraid of being hated or ridiculed by people for Him. Thank you And thank you for spreading the truth! Jesus will come soon!
hey! so I just want to remind you that Jesus Himself went through being hated and ridiculed and blasted by those all around him even his own people and he warns us that the same things shall happen to us (those who follow him) not everyone will like what we say or do but we must and I 100% relate to you for I struggle with the same thing of being ashamed so we must learn and grow by our obeidence to His Word and faith in Him! This is all spoken in the Gosple of John 4th book of the new testament!🙂
@@ohuntermc9321 Well if u look at current circumstances of this world thennn...... And to God time is nothing to him so soon means whatever is soon to him not to us. After all, God controls time.
@Markéta Kubešová thanks so much for sharing this. Can totally relate and will definitely be praying for you! I’ve also been doing virtual Bible studies with women that really helped me so much in understanding and carrying out my purpose for God. Would love to connect ❤️ You can email me @amanda.sherose@gmail.com 🙏🏽
I’ve seen quite a few of your videos now and with no question about it, THIS ONE was not only thee best one but the most needed one. I’m sure this took guts to do but you obviously have a heart for souls or you wouldn’t of done it. Thanks for your obedience. I felt love & compassion from you & believe this hard truth was presented well. Keep spreading light!
Thank you for speaking truth and not shying away from the difficult subjects. You guys are truly anointed vessels. The internet is a better place because of you both❤️
THIS! Thank you for speaking truth! I have been saying that what is missing in this generation is a holy fear of God, because it is no longer preached from the pulpit. There needs to be a balance between the God of grace and love and the God who is our righteous judge. Good job, Nate! ❤️
Nate, you and Sutton are beautiful people, inside and out, with strong convictions. You are clearly gifted and passionate about teaching the Gospel. Thanks for your sweet videos😊
Let's just say Jesus is using Him because at the end of the day, something could always happen to him God forbid and you'll realise he was just a channel♥️♥️
@@barbaramacharia2493 Yes! We can look to other Christians for guidance and as an example, but our foundation should be in Christ alone, everyone else will fail us one way other another
What a beautiful and courageous reminder of God’s unending mercy and justice. Thank you Nate and Sutton! And praise the Holy Spirit for your inspired words.
I absolutely love you guys . Most Pastors don’t talk about hell but my pastors do they’re so real , honest , loving and are some real fire branders and teaches me every Sunday and in every week at Wednesday prayer. I commend you guys and thank God that y’all are listening to God the father and the Holy Spirit for such a time as this. I love you guys and are praying for yall❤️
Just yesterday the Lord brought to my attention how REAL heaven and hell are and how people are being to either one for eternity. Everything you said here Nate was full of wisdom and truth! This is something people don’t talk about, but really should because it’s everything!
CS Lewis once said “There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened.”
talya.sindel there’s a scripture about us all being able to see God’s hand in creation. And He is just. He knows what our heart would be if we had lived to be told flat out that he is real based on the way we value what he gives us
talya.sindel I can’t speak for any other denomination, but in the Catechism of the Catholic Church it states: ...those, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church: but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience-those too may receive eternal salvation. (CCC 847) similarly looking at the Vatican ii document Gaudium Et Spes: “All this holds true not only for Christians, but for all men of good will in whose hearts grace works in an unseen way. For, since Christ died for all men, and since the ultimate vocation of man is in fact one, and divine, we ought to believe that the Holy Spirit in a manner known only to God offers to every man the possibility of being associated with this paschal mystery.” This teaching holds consistent with Jesus’ teaching of those who innocently reject him: “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin; but as it is they have no excuse for their sin.” (John 15:22). But once a person comes to know the truth, he must embrace it or he will be culpable of rejecting it. In John 9:41, it talks of when Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees who were with him. “Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you are saying, ‘We see,’ so your sin remains.”
Cried the whole way through. This message is so timely and so so true. Those are words I never want to hear from our Creator! It's time to do better. Thank you 🥺😊
Yes Nate!!! I so appreciate your honesty and conviction, as you help flood RUclips with truth and light. Im praying this whole situation really helps us spend time to examine our hearts and draw close to God- and cry out to Him, if any of us does not trust already🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow what a brave video to make. You guys truly reflect Christ and I love how you aren't afraid to stand up for the truth and are not invested in what the world says. Sending love from Malaysia!
Thank you so much for sharing. I am a new Christian, 2 years now. Through this pandemic, I feel my faith growing stronger. You are so right with what you said. Keep sharing. We all need to hear it!
Bless you that on THIS rock, he will build his church. Pray that everything that you touch will be blessed because you stand on the foundation of the truth! You're living out the kingdom and seeking it first therefore all of these things will be added unto you. Matthew 10:28.
The title had me SHOOK! But the message made me stay. Yes, we are to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. And yes, God is Love but He is also Just and Holy! Tfs and tell Sutton and Oaklan I said, Hey!
Thank you for speaking the truth!! Thank you for your heart behind your channel & keeping it real. What a great message, very well spoken. You guys have inspired me to start my own channel to do the same. Thank you💕
Nate and Sutton I love how you guys always come back to making videos like these. And yes, you're right I don't remember the last time I've heard a sermon about Hell and all that comes with it. Thank You so much for this video, I do pray that people will take this message and that it speaks to them and I pray that you guys continue to grow as a family and through your channel. I love you guys!!!!!
Looks like it’s still popular to preach fear of hell 😔. For 20 years I was hearing that “gospel”, and it was horrible to always question my salvation, to live in fear. And then I heard THE real gospel and I was changed completely. Only love of God and His grace can do miracles with people’s hearts and lives!!!
Yeah it seems to me that people don’t preach “Do this and that because you love God” but they rather say “Do this and that or else God will punish you.” This is why many turn away from religion or struggle with their own religion because it almost feels like blackmailing.
Exactly!! That’s what I was thinking. Is sad that there’s still people that believe that God will let his own beloved children to be tortured. He invites us to love Him and trust Him by our own choice. They are forgetting about what Jesus told us. He was always welcoming all the people even the biggest sinners because God is all Love and Mercy.
Thanks Nate! I so appreciate the way Sutton and you speak the truth, no matter how hard it can be received. It is needed!! Be blessed and encouraged! :)
Yes I have 💯 surrendered my life to Christ. Luke 21:36 [36]Keep awake then and watch at all times [be discreet, attentive, and ready], praying that you may have the full strength and ability and be accounted worthy to escape all these things [taken together] that will take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man.
Thank you for your videos. Please keep them coming. It is so refreshing to see people who aren't afraid to tell it like it is....with love. I'm so thankful I came across your channel. I love your family!
I used to feel this way exactly. Truly believing you're loved ones will burn in eternity is a pretty big burden to carry and can be super draining. i appreciate your perspective though
Remember that Jesus doesn't punish you for eternity for a sin you committed in a short lifetime Our Lord is a fair Lord You will be punished of course however he also explains about the 2nd death which is exactly what he means death where you will be lost forever and will not exist So he gives us a choice to live forever and eternity with him or to never exist again Remember why would God want the devil and evil people next to us suffering for eternity it does not make any sense he will put them to death and we will live in peace with no fear and no worry and no sin because they will not exist anymore
@@karinagarcia3702 This is not biblical at all. If there is no eternal judgment for those apart from Christ (and Christians), there is no reason for Jesus to die on the cross. Followers of Jesus are judged but spend eternity with Christ since Jesus paid the price for their sins on the cross. When nonbelievers get judged they live in separation from God for eternity.
“Do not think I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a SWORD “ - Yahshua Jesus Matt 10:34 🙏🏽 Amen Brother, blessings to you and your family
I’m grateful that you did this video. I think God put this in your heart. It may be a warning from God that there are people who are not living a holy life, but there’s still a chance to repent. It is better to do it now rather than forget about this and later be crying because it is already too late
My anxiety about being turned away when I so desperately try to live for Him made my OCD terrible to the point I was afraid I didn’t ask Jesus into my life the “right way”. The thing of it is is that it wouldn’t be amazing grace if we had anything to do with it. Through Him I have been able to overcome so much
Laura Williams I have OCD too. I completely know the feeling and wondering if you asked God into your life “the right way”. OCD tends to cling to the things we care about most which is a sign you really care about your faith. I’ve been working on accepting God’s Grace over my ocd rituals though and I hope you feel the freedom in Christ to do the same!
If salvation depended on us, we could never be sure that we've done enough. If you were saved because you made a decision or commitment in the past, you'll be left wondering "was I sincere enough? Did I do it right?" etc. But the good news is we're not saved by giving our lives to Christ. We're saved because He gave His life for you. You're saved when you believe that your sins are forgiven through Jesus. And that faith is a gift of God, not something you mustered up from within yourself. "So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy." Romans 9:16 ❤❤❤
Yes OCD can be a real struggle, I know I have dealt with it. But perhaps knowing the truth about the God would help you, feel free to visit jw.org as I feel it may help you :)
This is almost exactly what I’ve been feeling lately. It’s such a deep worry that it feels like I’m being swallowed by it and can’t escape and I have no idea how to be sure of my salvation and how to live my life for God and what to cut out of my life and what not to. And it freaks me out so much that I might not truly be saved.
Absolute blessing. Your channel has been a major encouragement to myself and everyone who watches. The fact that you base all your trust and faith in the Bible alone and are not under a label or denomination, makes your faith and words much more powerful. Purely following the Bible is what we are asked to do. God Bless you guys. Thank you for sharing the message of God and not holding anything back.
Thank you for this video Nate and Sutton!!! Love you guys ♥️. Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. 1 John 3:18 NIV
I'm so thankful for all you're doing out here on RUclips. Thank you for standing up for the truth! Thank you for being so authentic. May the Lord continue to give you strength, courage and peace for everything you're doing to tell people about our God!! 👐
I didn't want to watch the video, solely because of data concerns. I was compelled to watch it, and I clicked in hesitation. I'm thankful that I did watch it. So much love, concern and truth in the video. Thank you for the upload. God bless!♥️
If there was a love button on RUclips. ..this vid would overflow with loves ♡ you guys truly are an inspiration and it's great to hear people being so open about it!♡
Acts 2:38 "Peter replied, "Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
Wow. This video actually woke me up. I decided to watch this the other night because I was worried for Sutton about the title. Then I realized the message was completely different. I have been a Christian since I was six years old, and was raised in church. I too often take my relationship with Jesus for granted. I haven’t noticed, but I’ve drawn away from my faith since my time in highschool. Then I found this. Something about this video terrified me, then worried me, then guilted me. I was numb! I realized I have completely neglected my relationship with God to the point where I had that split second of worry where I wondered if He would really say he knows me! Crazy. Since watching this I have decided to delve into the word. I’m starting back at the basics and I read the gospel of John in two nights. Now I’m reading through Luke. I’m going to make time to study the word now. I’m going to pray more often. I already feel so excited for the next time I read! Thank you so much. Thank you for waking me up! I needed this, because quarantine and my senior year of highschool has really done something to me. Now I am going to get back to focusing on who is in control and who is missing me. Love the video ❤️
I am so thankful for this channel and this video. Thank you for being courageous about speaking the truth even through our modern world may not accept it! It encourages me to speak more truth to others. ❤️
My favorite thing about this channel is the truth of Jesus you guys bring. Your transparency, and your fear of God. You both are an inspiration. I’m praying for you guys and I pray that God continues to use you and your wife!
Jackie Adriana thank you for your encouragement and prayers!! 💛
This is true
Pin Apple Fearing Him does not mean actually being scared or frightened of Him. It's a way of saying respect and love Him so much - that you're afraid of breaking His trust, love and faith. That meaning you do obay, and you do listen to Him in everything you do. And once you get closer to Him, that becomes more and more clear in your life.
@Pin Apple Fearing God referes to the fear of hurting the immense love He bestowed upon us through our sin. Sin being not receiving and living His love and for that love
@Pin Apple Fearing means respecting God and the amount of power He has. We should respect and be afraid of Him having the authority to send us to hell. However, he is also a loving God who wants us to spend eternity with Him that's exactly why he sent Jesus to die for us so that we can have a chance to be with Him. If He didn't we would all deserve to go to hell. So, we have to look at all of who He is to have the correct understanding of Him. If we neglect to acknowledge any of His characteristics then we start to follow a false gospel.
Not sure if that helped if you have any questions feel free to reach out!
I’m an atheist and I watching your guy’s videos for incite into this religion. These beliefs are fascinating. I respect your openness and your thoughts...
Thank you for being respectful and taking interest in the faith. We get ridiculed a lot for our beliefs so this to me is heart warming. God bless you💯
hey🙂umm just know its more than just a religion its mainly a relationship with God and i thank u for your open mindedness and please, feel free to gain more incite into what being a christian or follower of Jesus Christ is like!🙂
So great to hear this, God bless you for being open minded in watching this video and pray that may you get to know the Lord 🙏
Jesus loves you so so much!
Come Join the Family. There's room for you🙂❤
As I sat here listening to your words, I felt the Holy Spirit say, "He just drew a line in the sand." I will maintain my subscription to your channel for forevermore. Thank you for standing up for truth, thank you for speaking that truth in love, thank you for loving us enough to say what is hard, but what is right. You have my respect, but I have a feeling that doesn't matter to you that much. Friend, you have respect from the Father and He honors you for this video and for the line in the sand that you just ever so clearly defined. Thank you.
IKECH545 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Amen! I was so encouraged at how they so publically drew the line in the sand!
Nate and Sutton well done guys!!! ❤️
So well said. 🙌
Amen!
This is the first time I’ve ever commented on a RUclips video. I want to start off by saying that it is so refreshing to hear a RUclipsr speak TRUTH. While I grew up in a Christian community that emphasized God’s wrath/hell more than God’s love, I know both are equally true and important. So, thank you for taking a risk that not many RUclipsrs would take, and standing up for real, solid, truth.
I needed to hear this, I’ve been in a constant battle with sin and addiction. I feel so far away from God right now. I will take all the prayers I can get.
We all go through things, you are not alone! All things are possible with God and he is always near. I’ll pray for you and for God to give you strength♥️
Valerie Milner thank you!
Romans 5:8 "But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
I'll be praying for you friend.
Praying
Praying for you Kobe!
Hey Nate & Sutton, im 21 years of age and have been subscribed for a while, I really love y’all’s channel. The Bible says lean not on your own understanding and yall really do live by that. Thank you for not being one of those faith channels that one way or another justifies their actions. You have showed time and time again that you live by what the bible says and learn everyday. Thank you. God bless!
A good dose of truth. Fear of the Almighty. This was such a needed Word. So glad you stepped out to share. End times are nearing.
I know yall prayed about this. I know y'all went to God and His Word before y'all made this. I know y'all felt convicted to share. And I'm so grateful. Your courage to share shows that you love us even without knowing us. And you're empowering believers everywhere to have that same courage to obey in this same way! ❤️
This topic is really hard and I’m afraid to speak to my family members about it wondering how they might feel please pray for me that this spirit of fear may be removed from my heart and I can boldly do Gods will🙏🏾
You pray,and ask the Lord to fill you with the Holy Spirit. He will give you power and boldness to speak.He himself will give you utterance.
In the name of Jesus amen and amen!!!
Show them this video.
I totally understand. I have quite a few family members who don't know the Lord. When I was younger I tried to talk to them about things of the Lord during family get togethers, but they just laughed and said it was sweet and not for them. 😕 Now, their money is their Lord and they don't think they need anything else. All I can do is pray for them.
Praying for you 🙏🏽
I’m quite sure this was the sign I asked God for. I’ve always known He’s there, He even performed a miracle in my life, which brought me to tears.
However, I’ve always struggled with praying and reading the Word. Why? Because when I prayed, most of the times I asked God for something (either someone’s salvation, a dream, etc) and didn’t get it. That’s normal since I literally expected God to do what I wanted and quick. Plus, the longest I prayed for was a week. My heart was not at the right place. God is teaching me that I have to trust Him.
On the other hand, reading the Word can also be hard sometimes because I might have trouble understanding why some things happened the way they did. But I have the Internet, I have my dad, I have so many sources to go to for understanding. The most important one being Him.
I have been born again, even though I tend to go away from God after a moment of passion for my Saviour. I need to be constant.
It’s just sad because everytime I go astray, I feel like I willingly do so. My spirit tells me not to sin, but I willingly sin. No matter how little the sin is. I choose it. Deep down in my heart I know I don’t want to do it, but when you are not with God, these things are expected. Being in His Presence is the most important thing. Truly I tell you, if you’re not praying, if you’re not reading the Word, you are going to believe the lies of the world and you will end up sinning.
This is probably too long. I just wanted you guys to know that today I asked God for a sign in order to know He’s here. I asked for discernment as well for many times I’m not sure if I’m making it up or if it’s actually from Yahweh. This video was uploaded two days ago. It should’ve been in my recommended earlier. But no. Today, I opened my phone and something in me told me to open RUclips altough I always go for Instagram. And then “boom” . This was literally the first video on my feed. And it talks exactly about what I’m going hrough. Abba is sending me a message through you Nate and Sutton. Thank you, Father. ✝️💜
Gio's Journey thank you so much for sharing with us your vulnerability!!! Praise Jesus!! He seriously works in the coolest ways. This is just the beginning of all the things he wants to experience with you!
May God continue to bless you! You're going to grow spiritually as you testify about overcoming your mistakes. God is showing you that He cares about you so much because you are His masterpiece- a very good creation that has a purpose. And you are using it by sharing your testimonies and experiences. Keep building up your faith and show it through works like this!
I relate to what you just said !!!
Same i asked as well and this video came
@Gio’s Journey- WOW thank you for sharing so vulnerably. This is real and I have definitely been there. Really being able to commit to my relationship with God, for me started with studying the Bible- specifically getting to know the heart of God in the Scriptures and getting to know his love for me. You can totally email me here amanda.sherose@gmail.com and I could connect you with some resources for virtual Bible studies which I found to be life changing. Hope to hear from you!
I can’t even tell you how much I NEEDED to hear this message tonight. Thank you, truly.🥺💗
Everything Nate said is true, important message to be shared.
Bold for Jesus!! Never stop!!!
Jesus isn’t just a “ticket” into heaven but he wants an actual relationship with you. Seek him each day!
Cailey Elise yeah i heard someone say, Christianity is just a religion, but a relationship with God.
Amen!
But how do we establish this relationship
When you fo nothing but sin
When you lost
Confused
Not ready to let go of sinful life
Because am going through this now.
And am just 14
Kerry Ikechukwu First of all you need to understand that all human beings are sinning and you are not worse than another human being, the second thing you must remember is that Jesus died for your sins, which means there is forgiveness for your sins! And following that understanding, you have to understand that without Jesus and without a real relationship with God, you will live an eternal life of suffering and pain, but to overcome sin you really need to seek this relationship with God, God says that whoever is truly looking seeking this relationship, will find, and so slowly you will see how much you want to dedicate your life to Jesus, to leave sin and to cling to be more pure
Kerry champ Jesus died on the cross for all of us he washed away all of our sins and to tell you the truth we all sin. There might be times we sin and not realize it.
If you believe in the truth of who God is and you have a relationship with him then that’s all that matters. He is there for you and never turns away from you ever because he loves you.
God doesn’t see when we sin all he sees is our hearts and I want you to know that God loves you so much. He is there and he understands what you’re going through and he knows you better than anybody else does. We were all created in his image to live and exist. I know you’re only 14 but don’t lose hope and sight of what’s most important in your life. You’re valuable and you’re so important. I hope things get better for you continue pushing through and don’t give up when things get tough. I hope you have a blessed rest of your week!
Ephesians 1:4 says “For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight”.
The other day before I started reading the Bible, I got the words, “start from the beginning” So I did decide to start reading the Bible from the beginning. I was at 2nd Samuel but now I went back to Genesis. I definitely want God in my life so I’m gonna do what I can to keep listening and doing as told. Thank you for your video. God is so good.
Love this! Grab some highlighters and a good companion study book as you go through it! I'm doing the same now :) but it's been hard to stay on top of it so those are a couple things I've done to help me stay focused and continuing to joyfully seek the Word!
Just Ashley yes! by grace through faith
Just Ashley Hey girl! Ask the Lord to open your eyes to what He wants to reveal to you through His Word. ❤️ He will be faithful! You can make it!! ❤️😊
@@destineemorris2561 Something I do is just commit to reading at least one chapter a night. That way it's easy for me to have a constant flow of biblical knowledge and dedication
I guess you got to the part in 2 Samuel 12 where God not only kills an infant but makes is sick for 7 days first. Yep, the story of David makes me question everything.
I shutter at the thought of hearing, “Depart from me I never knew you!” Which is why the Bible says make your call & election sure. We must ask God to search our hearts constantly and show us the things that are displeasing to Him and work on us. Refine us unto His image because I want to hear well done! And one way I know and am assured of my salvation is that the mere desire to truly please God can only be as a result of His Holy Spirit within me. On my own I want nothing to do with Him. And that sweet fellowship I now have is because of his extension of grace and salvation to me! Thanks for the reminder and the truth. And God bless you guys for your boldness.
In thorough honesty, this video is in perfect timing for me. Recently I’ve been so discouraged in reading my bible and praying because I feel like I’m so far gone and sorta “incapable” of being saved. I think this video was a reminder that I need to really rearrange my focus.
Jayla Carr I’m sure you’ve heard the song by Jordan Feliz, Never Too Far Gone, but it’s such a great reminder that we can do NOTHING to ever separate ourselves from Him. “You will never outrun My love”. He is so good ❤️
Hey Jayla! You will never be capable to be saved, and this is a good news because Jesus died for us when we were sinners. He loved us before we loved Him. Nothing can separate us from the love of God- Romans 8:39. Psalm 139- He knows everything about us❤️ Take time to be in prayer and read the word. Pursue Him and believe in His Word, everything outside the Word is a lie of the Devil. God bless.
Consider the thief on the cross. When Christ was crucified there was a thief hanging there beside him. He did not live a "worthy" life...but as he seen Jesus dying for Him, he had faith in Him. And that's all it took for the thief to be saved. It's not what we do, or how we are, but it's believing in what Jesus did for us, fully placing your faith in Him and His plan of salvation, asking Him to forgive you and save you and truly believe. Hope this encourages you.
as others have said, you’re never too far gone for Jesus to save you! He is infinitely powerful, we are incapable of being too far gone. think about the apostle paul, he would be equated to modern day isis, he was murdering christians for no valid reason and God transformes his life and turned him into one of the strongest christian men in history. God saved the apostle paul and God can save you! ❤️
I encourage you to visit incmedia.org, there's a lot of biblical topics there that can help you seek answers and the truth 🙏
Thank you for sharing TRUTH. It’s certainly evidence of your love for your viewers ❤️🙏
“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?”
2 Corinthians 13:5 KJV
How fitting, to open RUclips and watch this video. Just this morning i was standing at my kitchen Sink looking out the window as the Rain gently fell, and i thought of Jesus giving his life for us and washing us clean. And then my mind turned to His return, and those who will enter his Kingdom and those who will he cast away, and i just turned to prayer because i know He is the only one who can work in family and friends lives who need to Surrender all to Him.
God Bless yall, Nate and Sutton keep, unapologetically but lovingly sharing!!!🙏🥰🙏🥰🙏
You guys are amazing. Thank you for caring enough about people to say the hard things- not just the good. Thank you, thank you, thank you
Ima be honest here.. these are the videos I’ve been wanting to see
I love how real, truthful and authentic you guys are❤Thank so much for this inspirational, eye-opener!
Love you guys so much!❤
This is my favorite Bible verse I want you guys to remember it.
1 Peter 5:7"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you" You guys truly are great people.
Thank you for this Nate🙌🏾
The truth may not always be appreciated by people at first, but it is needed. Especially in an age where morality is getting confused with Christianity.
This is clearly from a place of love! Keep it up guys 🙏🏾
God bless and stay safe xx
I just subscribed because of this video. It takes very special, courageous people to call others out. In every day life, it is a true friend that calls you out and tells you when you are doing/saying something wrong. Nate and Sutton, you are giving a message to the world that the world needs to hear. I am so grateful for people like you! I hope to be as courageous some day! God bless you and your family!
Yes....
Totally got the point.
We need a deep relationship with Jesus.
Thanks for sharing this video.
He has speaking so much about it to me.
Spending the eternity away from the Lord is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone.
That's why we need to embrace the Gospel to us and share it to people.
P.s. I would love to have this video with Portuguese subtitles so I can share with my friends. 🥰
Elisama Lucena amen!
Thank you for sharing. God bless you.
I was literally talking to my girlfriend on FaceTime about false converts in the church and how scary it has to be to be told “depart from me, I never knew you” and I got a notification on this video! We were even talking about James 2:17 specifically and how believing isn’t enough because even demons believe! Crazy! God bless you! Remember the more hate you get, the more God blesses you!
Manuel Estevez wow so crazy cool!
Manuel Estevez literally had the same conversation with my friend this evening too ! There is also a need to not just have works but to know Jesus deeply and intimately !
What does it mean to be a false convert ?☹️
What does it mean to be a false convert ?☹️
@@zaratswanya4590 It means that a person thinks they are saved but aren't. Or maybe they were told they were saved and believed that person. Ultimately, false converts are not disciples of Jesus and will run when persecution comes because they never met him personally.
So timely!! Thank you guys for being obedient always! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Please continue this message. It is needed. I always fear I'm not enough, don't have the right faith, etc. I'll appreciate any and all help in understanding the Word.
Hallelujah for this vital message. U r doing God’s Word to spread the Truth.
they are very amazing people :) and deserve so much!
I don’t even know who they are this was the first video I have watched and I will subscribe bc i think this was the first real believer I’ve found on RUclips. So encouraging.
Truth does not care about feelings!
So true! Truth can hurt, but truth is IMPORTANT! Nate shared this truth with so much love which I just think is so amazing!!
What a hilariously ironic comment to hear from a person that is actually endorsing the exact opposite; an obvious fairy tale narrative that is precisely made up to comfort grown up people from the unpleasant truth of mortality...
@@johnsanders8791 I'd suggest watching their video on why they believe and it should be evident that Christians aren't merely following some made up tale.
@@johnsanders8791 I thought the same thing, how ironic....
Alice Roche Im sorry you don’t understand. It takes just as much faith to think God doesn’t exist.
I’m 21 years old and watch every single video on your channel. Thank you for being a role model. Thank you for inpiring me and always speaking the truth. We truly need more people like you and Sutton. You guys feel like my second parents. May your family be blessed.
"it's not loving to NOT be talking about it" yes. So much yes.
I respect you and your message. But as a life long Christian, I truly don’t believe that if you make mistakes in your life you will not go to heaven. I truly believe that God is a merciful God and as long as you believe in him and repent your sins you will go to heaven. I think about the thief that was next to Jesus on the cross and said “Jesus remember when you come into your kingdom (Luke 23:42).” and Jesus responded “I tell you the truth: today you will be with me in paradise Luke 23:43).” May God bless you and your family
Julia Breitenbach I totally agree with you! However, that’s what they’re saying too! They’re just taking it one step further in saying where is you heart behind all of it. Is your faith just a mask where you go through the routine, or are you partnering your heart w Jesus’ and having the right faith and intentions behind it. Are you truly getting to know Jesus and allowing him to do the same w you? Or are you just going through the motions. All the Pharisees even kept up with all the commandments, which is honorable! but it angered Jesus that they honored the Sabbath more than caring for their brother or sister. It’s all about the heart and where the intentional priorities are. If you’re embodying Him and allowing Him to use you as His vessel, or still playing your own lord. And if you recognize this, you can repent and be forgiven!! That’s the beauty of it all!
Julia Breitenbach Agreed 😊 I’m a Catholic and we even have the sacrament of Reconciliation, which is like the only “true” way to be absolved of your sins. But we are also taught that if in your heart of hearts, if you truly repent for your sins and do your best to avoid that sin, you are forgiven. Jesus calls us to be the best people we can be and calls us to strive for divine holiness, yet He also recognizes that we are *human*. My best may look different from your best, but that doesn’t mean we both aren’t doing our best. Again, as a Catholic, I have been raised with a sense of fear and guilt!-but at the end of the day, He gave us Jesus so that we could be saved for our sins. That to me is the defining factor of our Lord-infinite love for His children. That’s why we have free will and the capacity to sin. Because following Him from a place of fear, which is a lack of control in itself, is what He desires-that we follow him from a place of love. That no matter how difficult the journey and how painful the falls, we always get back up and strive to be with Him. So anyway, thanks for your comment. I really appreciate you speaking up and sharing your truth.
Mistakes shouldn’t be made consciously with the knowledge we have
Amen!! Christians need to hear this, it’s so important 🙏🏼
This is such a hard pill to swallow but it is the truth I read in my Bible. I've never really heard of this in any church. I started realizing only when I read my Bible.
I pray to God to have mercy on me to make me strong till the end. To change me, mold me, help me obey him.
I struggle a lot when it comes to sharing the gospel with others. I know God commands us to do so and I want Him to tell me, once he comes back, that I was a good servant and to let me in His Kingdom.
Please pray for me to have more strenght and courage to obey our Lord Jesus Christ and to not be ashamed of His name, not afraid of being hated or ridiculed by people for Him. Thank you
And thank you for spreading the truth! Jesus will come soon!
hey! so I just want to remind you that Jesus Himself went through being hated and ridiculed and blasted by those all around him even his own people and he warns us that the same things shall happen to us (those who follow him) not everyone will like what we say or do but we must and I 100% relate to you for I struggle with the same thing of being ashamed so we must learn and grow by our obeidence to His Word and faith in Him! This is all spoken in the Gosple of John 4th book of the new testament!🙂
The apostle Paul believed that Jesus was to return in his lifetime? but like 2000 years later that never happened.
@@ohuntermc9321 Well if u look at current circumstances of this world thennn...... And to God time is nothing to him so soon means whatever is soon to him not to us. After all, God controls time.
@Markéta Kubešová thanks so much for sharing this. Can totally relate and will definitely be praying for you! I’ve also been doing virtual Bible studies with women that really helped me so much in understanding and carrying out my purpose for God. Would love to connect ❤️ You can email me @amanda.sherose@gmail.com 🙏🏽
Both of you are such an inspiration to me. I love how you guys are so open about the faith❤️💕❤️
I’ve seen quite a few of your videos now and with no question about it, THIS ONE was not only thee best one but the most needed one. I’m sure this took guts to do but you obviously have a heart for souls or you wouldn’t of done it. Thanks for your obedience. I felt love & compassion from you & believe this hard truth was presented well. Keep spreading light!
Amen Brother! It is so important to hear the things that we need to hear, instead of what we want to hear!
Thank you for speaking truth and not shying away from the difficult subjects. You guys are truly anointed vessels. The internet is a better place because of you both❤️
THIS! Thank you for speaking truth! I have been saying that what is missing in this generation is a holy fear of God, because it is no longer preached from the pulpit. There needs to be a balance between the God of grace and love and the God who is our righteous judge. Good job, Nate! ❤️
“There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.”
Proverbs 14:12 Love love love this! So much truth. God bless❤️
Wowww what a timely video, we all need to think about this, myself included,thank you so much, God bless you.
Nate, you and Sutton are beautiful people, inside and out, with strong convictions. You are clearly gifted and passionate about teaching the Gospel. Thanks for your sweet videos😊
Even though Nathaniel doesn't know this or know me, he is a pillar in my life.
Me too!
Let's just say Jesus is using Him because at the end of the day, something could always happen to him God forbid and you'll realise he was just a channel♥️♥️
@@barbaramacharia2493 Yes! We can look to other Christians for guidance and as an example, but our foundation should be in Christ alone, everyone else will fail us one way other another
Hey nate and sutton. The truth in your message is uplifting. Thank you for being God's faithful servant
I love you channel!!! God bless you and you family and keep using you guys for His glory!❤️
What a beautiful and courageous reminder of God’s unending mercy and justice. Thank you Nate and Sutton! And praise the Holy Spirit for your inspired words.
Amazing truth. A personal relationship with him in our hearts is the real truth
I absolutely love you guys . Most Pastors don’t talk about hell but my pastors do they’re so real , honest , loving and are some real fire branders and teaches me every Sunday and in every week at Wednesday prayer. I commend you guys and thank God that y’all are listening to God the father and the Holy Spirit for such a time as this. I love you guys and are praying for yall❤️
Just yesterday the Lord brought to my attention how REAL heaven and hell are and how people are being to either one for eternity. Everything you said here Nate was full of wisdom and truth! This is something people don’t talk about, but really should because it’s everything!
I truly honor and respect the courage it took for you to make this. I see a humble family who simply wants to change the world. And you are
CS Lewis once said “There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, "Thy will be done," and those to whom God says, in the end, "Thy will be done." All that are in Hell, choose it. Without that self-choice there could be no Hell. No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. Those who knock it is opened.”
Nerd for Christ there’s surely some people who grow up and never are given the chance to be taught about God? Then they wouldn’t be choosing Hell?
talya.sindel there’s a scripture about us all being able to see God’s hand in creation. And He is just. He knows what our heart would be if we had lived to be told flat out that he is real based on the way we value what he gives us
@@talyasindel Romans 1:19-20. God is evident to everyone, just by looking at what He has created. Psalm 19:1-4-- Creation constantly points to Him!
God also will not execute the Final Judgement until ALL (emphasis mine) the world hears of His Salvation in Christ (Matthew 24:14)
talya.sindel I can’t speak for any other denomination, but in the Catechism of the Catholic Church it states: ...those, through no fault of their own, do not know Christ and his Church: but who nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, and, moved by grace, try in their actions to do his will as they know it through the dictates of their conscience-those too may receive eternal salvation. (CCC 847) similarly looking at the Vatican ii document Gaudium Et Spes: “All this holds true not only for Christians, but for all men of good will in whose hearts grace works in an unseen way. For, since Christ died for all men, and since the ultimate vocation of man is in fact one, and divine, we ought to believe that the Holy Spirit in a manner known only to God offers to every man the possibility of being associated with this paschal mystery.” This teaching holds consistent with Jesus’ teaching of those who innocently reject him: “If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin; but as it is they have no excuse for their sin.” (John 15:22). But once a person comes to know the truth, he must embrace it or he will be culpable of rejecting it. In John 9:41, it talks of when Jesus was speaking to the Pharisees who were with him. “Jesus said to them, “If you were blind, you would have no sin; but now you are saying, ‘We see,’ so your sin remains.”
Cried the whole way through. This message is so timely and so so true. Those are words I never want to hear from our Creator! It's time to do better. Thank you 🥺😊
This was hard to hear but I know I needed to hear it. Thank You and God Bless!
Yes Nate!!! I so appreciate your honesty and conviction, as you help flood RUclips with truth and light. Im praying this whole situation really helps us spend time to examine our hearts and draw close to God- and cry out to Him, if any of us does not trust already🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow what a brave video to make. You guys truly reflect Christ and I love how you aren't afraid to stand up for the truth and are not invested in what the world says. Sending love from Malaysia!
Thank you so much for sharing. I am a new Christian, 2 years now. Through this pandemic, I feel my faith growing stronger. You are so right with what you said. Keep sharing. We all need to hear it!
Bless you that on THIS rock, he will build his church. Pray that everything that you touch will be blessed because you stand on the foundation of the truth! You're living out the kingdom and seeking it first therefore all of these things will be added unto you. Matthew 10:28.
Yes! We NEED the truth and it’s hard to find people brave enough to share it! Thank you so, so much ❤️
Wow. That took a lot of courage. Thank you for sharing
Thank you Nate and Sutton. This sews seeds of truth, and I am grateful for the love that this truly radiates.
God bless you and your family 💜🙏🏽
The title had me SHOOK! But the message made me stay. Yes, we are to work out our salvation with fear and trembling. And yes, God is Love but He is also Just and Holy! Tfs and tell Sutton and Oaklan I said, Hey!
Thanks for posting this! Words we all need to hear. I appreciate y’all attacking this at the heart and not beating around the bush
Thank you for speaking the truth!! Thank you for your heart behind your channel & keeping it real. What a great message, very well spoken. You guys have inspired me to start my own channel to do the same. Thank you💕
Nate and Sutton I love how you guys always come back to making videos like these. And yes, you're right I don't remember the last time I've heard a sermon about Hell and all that comes with it. Thank You so much for this video, I do pray that people will take this message and that it speaks to them and I pray that you guys continue to grow as a family and through your channel. I love you guys!!!!!
Looks like it’s still popular to preach fear of hell 😔. For 20 years I was hearing that “gospel”, and it was horrible to always question my salvation, to live in fear. And then I heard THE real gospel and I was changed completely. Only love of God and His grace can do miracles with people’s hearts and lives!!!
Yeah it seems to me that people don’t preach “Do this and that because you love God” but they rather say “Do this and that or else God will punish you.” This is why many turn away from religion or struggle with their own religion because it almost feels like blackmailing.
Yeah this message is all about fear not a fan
So glad someone said this!!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Exactly!! That’s what I was thinking. Is sad that there’s still people that believe that God will let his own beloved children to be tortured. He invites us to love Him and trust Him by our own choice. They are forgetting about what Jesus told us. He was always welcoming all the people even the biggest sinners because God is all Love and Mercy.
Thanks Nate! I so appreciate the way Sutton and you speak the truth, no matter how hard it can be received. It is needed!! Be blessed and encouraged! :)
Yes I have 💯 surrendered my life to Christ. Luke 21:36
[36]Keep awake then and watch at all times [be discreet, attentive, and ready], praying that you may have the full strength and ability and be accounted worthy to escape all these things [taken together] that will take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man.
Yesss!!! One thing I’m learning is to never apologize for sharing the truth! It’s what we’re called to do! We all need to hear this! Thank you!!
This is such a necessary message especially at a time like this! Thank you
Thank you for your videos. Please keep them coming. It is so refreshing to see people who aren't afraid to tell it like it is....with love. I'm so thankful I came across your channel. I love your family!
I used to feel this way exactly. Truly believing you're loved ones will burn in eternity is a pretty big burden to carry and can be super draining. i appreciate your perspective though
Remember that Jesus doesn't punish you for eternity for a sin you committed in a short lifetime Our Lord is a fair Lord You will be punished of course however he also explains about the 2nd death which is exactly what he means death where you will be lost forever and will not exist So he gives us a choice to live forever and eternity with him or to never exist again Remember why would God want the devil and evil people next to us suffering for eternity it does not make any sense he will put them to death and we will live in peace with no fear and no worry and no sin because they will not exist anymore
@@karinagarcia3702 This is not biblical at all. If there is no eternal judgment for those apart from Christ (and Christians), there is no reason for Jesus to die on the cross. Followers of Jesus are judged but spend eternity with Christ since Jesus paid the price for their sins on the cross. When nonbelievers get judged they live in separation from God for eternity.
This is SO good!!
“Do not think I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a SWORD “ - Yahshua Jesus Matt 10:34 🙏🏽 Amen
Brother, blessings to you and your family
Amen! I’ve been working so hard to get this word out to as many people as I can because it is something that too many people do not realize it!
Preach it brother! Eternity is upon us... let's preach!
Don’t ever stop saying the raw truth, it will hit anyone’s heart in its own unique way. So, so good.
I’m grateful that you did this video. I think God put this in your heart. It may be a warning from God that there are people who are not living a holy life, but there’s still a chance to repent. It is better to do it now rather than forget about this and later be crying because it is already too late
This is SO GOOD. Thank you so much for just being real and caring about us!
My anxiety about being turned away when I so desperately try to live for Him made my OCD terrible to the point I was afraid I didn’t ask Jesus into my life the “right way”. The thing of it is is that it wouldn’t be amazing grace if we had anything to do with it. Through Him I have been able to overcome so much
Laura Williams I have OCD too. I completely know the feeling and wondering if you asked God into your life “the right way”. OCD tends to cling to the things we care about most which is a sign you really care about your faith. I’ve been working on accepting God’s Grace over my ocd rituals though and I hope you feel the freedom in Christ to do the same!
If salvation depended on us, we could never be sure that we've done enough. If you were saved because you made a decision or commitment in the past, you'll be left wondering "was I sincere enough? Did I do it right?" etc. But the good news is we're not saved by giving our lives to Christ. We're saved because He gave His life for you.
You're saved when you believe that your sins are forgiven through Jesus. And that faith is a gift of God, not something you mustered up from within yourself.
"So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy." Romans 9:16 ❤❤❤
Yes OCD can be a real struggle, I know I have dealt with it. But perhaps knowing the truth about the God would help you, feel free to visit jw.org as I feel it may help you :)
This is almost exactly what I’ve been feeling lately. It’s such a deep worry that it feels like I’m being swallowed by it and can’t escape and I have no idea how to be sure of my salvation and how to live my life for God and what to cut out of my life and what not to. And it freaks me out so much that I might not truly be saved.
Wow. I never thought about the fact that actually, OCD can have a huge effect on my relationship with God. And it makes so much sense
Absolute blessing. Your channel has been a major encouragement to myself and everyone who watches. The fact that you base all your trust and faith in the Bible alone and are not under a label or denomination, makes your faith and words much more powerful. Purely following the Bible is what we are asked to do. God Bless you guys. Thank you for sharing the message of God and not holding anything back.
Thank you for this video Nate and Sutton!!! Love you guys ♥️.
Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
1 John 3:18 NIV
I'm so thankful for all you're doing out here on RUclips. Thank you for standing up for the truth! Thank you for being so authentic. May the Lord continue to give you strength, courage and peace for everything you're doing to tell people about our God!! 👐
You spoke out of love and wisdom ♥️ We must use this time to get right with our creator and to accept Jesus as our saviour.
I didn't want to watch the video, solely because of data concerns. I was compelled to watch it, and I clicked in hesitation. I'm thankful that I did watch it. So much love, concern and truth in the video. Thank you for the upload. God bless!♥️
THANK YOU FOR SHARING:) SOO GOOD!

Katie Claunch if only we had the time!
Nate and Sutton oneeeee dayyyy ;)))
@@katieeeplatt hey how r u
You guys are awesome. Thanks for standing up for the Truth and not being afraid of sharing!
Acts 2:38
"Peter replied, "Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptised in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."
Amen. This is truth!
Also notice, that people who weren't saved couldn't be baptized
@@darcysbertossi4404 what do you mean?
Wow. This video actually woke me up. I decided to watch this the other night because I was worried for Sutton about the title. Then I realized the message was completely different. I have been a Christian since I was six years old, and was raised in church. I too often take my relationship with Jesus for granted. I haven’t noticed, but I’ve drawn away from my faith since my time in highschool. Then I found this. Something about this video terrified me, then worried me, then guilted me. I was numb! I realized I have completely neglected my relationship with God to the point where I had that split second of worry where I wondered if He would really say he knows me! Crazy. Since watching this I have decided to delve into the word. I’m starting back at the basics and I read the gospel of John in two nights. Now I’m reading through Luke. I’m going to make time to study the word now. I’m going to pray more often. I already feel so excited for the next time I read! Thank you so much. Thank you for waking me up! I needed this, because quarantine and my senior year of highschool has really done something to me. Now I am going to get back to focusing on who is in control and who is missing me. Love the video ❤️
Praise God for the courage he gave you to speak his truth!
