[TheFox251]

@ContextualTruth Halleujah praise God for his unconditional love towards us in Christ!

[RememberTheNameYaDig]

i dont understand i thought we were all sons and daughters of God.but im only 11 so if im missing something please tell me thanks.

[TheotherPrometheus]

@RememberTheNameYaDig We are not sons of God until we are saved.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Rom 8:14, KJV)

[TheotherPrometheus]

@RememberTheNameYaDig But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. (Gal 4:4-7, KJV)

This is kind of funny...but I didn't notice the microphone, until I read that other comment!!! Thanks for keeping it so simple.

[HosannaHM]

Great video, message, the whole thing! God uses you in great ways brother

[lambsev]

Who are all the believing? Where did they come from? They came from the lost, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. So God saves those who without Him would go to hell. Does He save then then against their own free will?

Thank you Mr. McClarty.. I looked this up for myself in the Strong's after watching this a little while ago and saw what you said.. I learned something new that cannot be ignored.. I look forward to watching more videos and I have shared this one with a couple of friends.. Thank you..

[CalvinistKid]

Love your videos. Great message. God bless

[fivepointbaptist]

Just want to let you know, I like the mic! Leave it there; its part of your setup. LOL

[fre4409]

Jim God bless you! You have a true teacher spirit about you and are very humble. I look forward to watching ALL of your videos :-)

[adsloganville]

I really enjoyed your video. You have a wonderful way of presenting. I would move the mic out of the way. It's kind of a distraction.

[SalvationByGraceOrg]

@adsloganville - Thanks very much for the good words. Yeh, that microphone is a bit of a conundrum. I love the way it sounds, but it needs to be pretty directly in front of me. I realize it's a distraction, but I haven't quite figured out what to do with it. Nevertheless, I appreciate the feedback and the kind words.

[adsloganville]

@SalvationByGraceOrg Maybe you could use a lapel mic? I have seen others that have the mic overhead mounted on a mechanical arm. For example James White of Alpha and Omega Ministries has this kind of setup. Take a look at some of his youtube vids.

[skalapunk]

Loved the video! Though I would like to see it clarifeid that yes, whoever *wants* to come to Christ, can. The question is, why does anyone want to?

John 3:16 doesn't say anything about who will want to or who even has the ability to want to.  Yet, as yousay, tradition is read into the verse, and they read something that isn't there.

John 6:37, 44, 45, 65 tells us who will want to, and why!

[TheCrushmaster]

Very nice. The Greek can indeed bring things to light more.

@TheotherPrometheus - Thanks for the dictionary definition. It's good support to what we've presented here.

[TheotherPrometheus]

@SalvationByGraceOrg Strong's Concordance\Lexicon is an invaluable tool for those serious about deep study.

[Uolive18]

Hi Jim, I thought I'd share this translation of John 3:16

John 3:16 (Holman Christian Standard Bible)

"For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life."

[SalvationByGraceOrg]

@Uolive18 - Thanks for this additional info.

[VeryImagesozo]

@Uolive18 I would change one thing to the Holman translation. It should be "His only begottan Son", because those who believe are also called "sons of God", but only Christ was begottan of the Father, meaning he came from God and was virgin born by the seed of the Holy Spirit taking on a human body. The translation "one and only son" is a false teaching...one of many problems I have seen with the Alexandrian text. Other than that, I agree the video. Well done.

[HamtramckGrace]

Well done as always!

[alteredwill]

Jim, your feet are beautiful! Isaiah 52:7, Romans 10:15.

Love you.

[beltoftruth1]

This is excellent. My only criticism is that you need to move the microphone out of the camera view. 8^)

[MinisterWilliamPrice]

Great video! Please continue the videos coming.

[LifeIncorporated]

:3 I am going to watch this over and over again until I have it memorized.
