The Great White Throne Judgment - Steve Lawson

[HisGrace71]

I dont understand the doctrine of election. How can I know if God has chosen me to be saved? I want to be so badly, but i never feel regenerated. I would give anything, but im so confused as to these two doctrines. It seems like one thing says just repent and havw faith to be saved, but the other says if your not elected then you cant ever be saved. What do i do? Im scared. I would give my life to be saved.

[MrRogerSimmons]

@HisGrace71 Yes, at first (and throughout your walk with Christ) you may feel unregenerate - after all, you still struggle with sin! - but God has secured your redemption. If you have faith in Christ it is only because God gave it to you, it is only because God called you. So if I were you, I would not fear, for if you have true faith there is no question that you were elected and that you are saved

[MrRogerSimmons]

@HisGrace71 The way you reconcile divine election and human faith is this: before time began, God elected those who would have faith. He chose those who would have faith. We do not save ourselves - we do not come by this faith on our own efforts - but He gives it to those whom He has called. Therefore, if you have true faith in Christ, it is proof that you have been called by God for God only gives faith to those whom He calls.

[MrRogerSimmons]

@HisGrace71 I'm sorry for all the grief this doctrine must have caused you, and often times it does seem that human faith and divine election are unreconcilable. However, Romans 10:9 says, "That if you confess with your mouth, 'Jesus is Lord,' and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved." There is no negotiation here - if you have true faith you will be saved!

I am witness of jesus christ.In 93 i was suicidal.I decided to call on jesus to see if he was real. I said "jesus if u exist show yourself showyourself"etc.As i asked and asked i gave up and said "he doenst exist or wont come."all of the sudden love and peace of the serverest mind boggling kind fill the air and inside me.jesus all in white with da power of creation says:

I am here

I am with u

I will never leave u

where ever u go i walk with u

I love u I love u

I am always with u

I love u

[Terceira73]

@Terceira73 all of my stress,pain,sadness was wiped from my soul. i couldn't feel from my knees down.i thought i was floatin i looked down at my feet i said how r my feet still on the ground.jesus showed me he is the one from the beginning.his voice is strong deep.jesus garment reaches to his ankles,he is tall.when the sun hit him as he was standing on the cloud he look almost like a crystal. I was 19 years old and i never read a verse of the bible but my testimony has how he will come again.

Amen! Wonderful preaching :)

[jeanlenor]

Best message I have heard about the final judgment. I keep coming back and listen to it again and again. I'm supprised that it does only have 3,450 views. I heard it from paul washer which is also good but this one is better.

[gregis22422]

That's going to be one LONG day.

[WaatThefreek]

Thank God for this amazing video! Love you all my brothers and sisters!

[jeanlenor]

ecclesiastes 8 v 11Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil.

There is a way that seems right to a man but in the end it leads to death. Proverbs 14:12

[jeanlenor]

@sistarass10101 It a must be a candidate of hell.

[chilimaker2011]

@jeanlenor You can be included in the family of God in Christ Jesus. He wants that no one should die apart from Him. These end times judgments are scary and severe, but as in a righteous courtroom, justice eventually needs to be taken care of. If you accept Christ (and enjoy Him here on earth even before you get to heaven I might add) you can experience uninterrupted Love and the peace which passes understanding. Remember, that regardless of your choice, nothing can separate you from Jesus' love

[eric12419]

isn't it funny man doesn't want to know GOD and yet they attack anyone who knows GOD from the inner most part of their soul they refuse to bow down to our GOD and refuse to do anything outside of religion.

[jeanlenor]

romans 1:30 32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, (not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.)

2 timothy 3:12 In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,

[eric12419]

The dust is collecting on this earth and the wrath of GOD is upon those who haven't believed in him, but for those who place their life in his hands are given salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.

[eric12419]

the fact that all things turn to dust and become worthless in value is proof that there is a GOD and that his judgement is on the nations.

[coolvideo28]

Thanks For making this video keep spreading the Truth. God bless you.

[eltiempoescorto1]

Powerful message: The second coming of the Lord is salvation for the elect but judgment for those who didnt repent and believe the gospel.

Hbr 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation

2Pe 3:7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store , reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men .

[700bees]

repent to the traditions of our forefathers. to the wilderness we go! Just as Jesus returned to the story of Exodus after his baptism. Let us return to being a tribe without a king, but a King of Kings. let us repent to the ways our ancestors. To a union of man and creation in harmony and peace. Let us repent to Jubilee, and Sabbath.

[Bucketedupquack]

Question, so what about people who have been saved and died, do they go to heaven, or do they also wake up on judgment day or in the time of revelations

[MustangGTdude02]

I'll look into that. It seems like everyone will be brought forth and judged by God, but I will look at it.

[talithakoumi]

this is the saddest verse in the Bible as well. This breaks my heart. It implies everyone flees from God. I believe *correct me if I am wrong* its after the Bema judgement. It's still very sad and I thank God for His mercy.

[MustangGTdude02]

You must realize that we as a human race flee from God inherently. We hate God and despise his word. This is why the crucifixion of Christ is so important. The only way a God hating people could ever obtain salvation is through the death of His own son. Remember that Truth isnt always happy, it must also be sad. God bless.

[drumrnva]

@MustangGTdude02 When you say "hate God", please tell me what it is that one hates? What is God? In order to hate something, I need to define it, know its properties, etc. What do you mean when you say "God"?

[chilimaker2011]

@drumrnva Creator of heaven and earth and all that is. Love. Spirit who came in the flesh in Jesus to die for our sins so we can approach God and have a relationship with Him. God said, "....I AM"

A person must humble himself in faith to seek Him, & realize our need for Him.

There is therefore no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

Jesus said, " I am the Way, the Truth, The Life and no one can come to the Father (God) but by me."

Start reading the Bible. Talk to a mature Christian.

[drumrnva]

@chilimaker2011 How about a definition that isn't based in written dogma? I don't know what you mean. You can refer to events in stories, but can you point to something that exists, has observable properties, etc?

[sprinkle888]

@drumrnva Hades is a holding sale for the lost souls that have died without Jesus Christ in their lives, they did wickedly on the earth and did not obey and worship the Father God. Luke 16:21 - speaks about a rich man that wouldn't give a poor begger the crumbs from his table, then died and went to hades, as you cotinue to read he asked father Abraham "please go and tell my brothers not to come to this place." And now I'm telling you as I do many others right on youtube 'you can be saved."

[sprinkle888]

@drumrnva On Judgment day no one can be forgiven, there is no excuse anyone can give God for not believing in him nor for not accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and savior, no mercy will be shown to anyone. For mankind have had their chance to repent, God has given man plenty of time to repent while they we're on the earth. Romans 10:9 will lead one into salvation. Repent turn from your way and serve the creater of heaven and earth. Jesus Christ is the very (Key) we need to make it in heaven.

[chilimaker2011]

@MustangGTdude02 I don't think we despise His Word, but instead despise the light of God's glory that shines and reveals our downfallen state of sin, our sad lives without Him and His love and guidance .

[worksequalsalvation]

@MustangGTdude02

I do not inherently hate our Creator.Christians are brainwashed into believing their god is constantly angry with his creation and needs blood, blood, blood, blood and more blood to pacify his anger. Christian dogma and philosophy has been changed, rewritten(Bible), forged and interpolated continually. The god of Christians is a pagan god demanding blood....no different than Aztec god..NO DIFFERENCE.

Hell was invented or there would be no Christians.

[xRONx89]

Good message. But one thing I'm uneasy on. Why would a loving God call all men to repent and go out to preach the good news if some, before time, are condemned to hell? If that is the case, it almost seems as if the Bible is not needed and preaching is not needed if we a re pre-destined to salvation or wrath?

[MustangGTdude02]

It had to be that way, for God's glory and love to be demonstrated. If every man were to love God, then there would be no love. The term would be meaningless. There must be darkness in order to see light. And on the pre-destination issue, if God did not know or elect his followers, then that would imply that God is not Omniscient. Think of it this way. Its not the idea that he picks and chooses who goes to heaven and hell, but he MUST know. Would you rather all of man be victim to God's wrath?

[xRONx89]

I understand what you're saying, that God does know who's going to heaven and hell. But, I don't know. It just seems like God knows the outcome of everything. I mean, He's so majestic that I honestly have an idea that God knows the possibilities and outcomes of every situation and has a plan for all of them. Now, I don't back that by scripture. But it just seems that God, who is everything, would know everything of every possibility.

[MustangGTdude02]

Well, yes God does know every outcome. He is totally sovereign and omniscient. That is why Salvation by mere choice is impossible. God would have to know you made that "choice". Salvation MUST be a totally supernatural work of God, not a choice of man.

[krisv001]

excellent message !

[MustangGTdude02]

Thats my uncle!!!! =D. What a small world!!! Ive been waiting for him to make it onto illbehonest. :D

[GPLeague]

Your uncle is a great preacher. His sermon "The Legacy of John Calvin" a few months back knocked my socks off.

[MustangGTdude02]

Oh yes he is, GPLeague! I have 3 binders full of his sermons I am trying to listen to. Its funny because I am subscribed to this channel mainly to listen to Paul Washer and John Piper, but when my uncle showed up on here I was very please and proud! I wish I could attend his church, but I live in Tennessee.

[GTnotw]

dude, your lucky bro. Lulz.

[Blaquengold]

I like this. He is breaking it down.

[GTnotw]

i was there, its was awesome!
