Yes yes yes yes.....this is very good....at what point does a christian stop falling and not need Jesus? I say never.....He is our refuge and our portion....he is holding us....until that day.....I am no smarty pants....I am challanged by this for indeed I would desire to not need him...it would be so much more comfortable....Paul had a thorn and grace was sufficient......this is the Hard way when you pray for deliverence and it does not come....and yet He is with you.....He is your deliverer...
@BradSSFL = Your comments reflect a works based salvation. If God saves me, nothing can take that away from me. Or you saying Man is stronger than God?
@123MrBurg No, I'm not doing what you accuse me of. Read the Bible, and see who's right. I'm speaking according to God's Word; you're speaking according to what the devil wants you to say.
If God made the decision to become saved for us, then the need for the Crucifixion would be completely null and void. Have you not considered this fact?
My friend, our sins are atoned for, but for us to be forgiven, we have to accept Christ and maintain our faith solely in Him-- not in Buddhism, Islam, etc..
@BradSSFL = All I asked was a question. Where do you get "God made the decision to become saved for us" from? That sounds confused, want to clear that up?
If you're depending on your salvation because you 'choose' to 'accept' Christ, then I dare say your faith is not in Christ, but yourself = a works based salvation = idolatry. Trust me, I was also astonished when I learned that I was guilty of this form of idolatry.
The word you are looking for is not 'accept' but 'repent'.
@123MrBurg My friend, you're putting words in my mouth.
We are saved by faith solely in Christ and Him crucified. We ALL have faith somewhere, and if it's not solely there, we are in eternal trouble, and we have to maintain it there.
Don't tell me that my believing that our faith must be in Christ and Him crucified means that I'm trying to take God's glory and put it on man. Read the Bible. Each of us has our sins ATONED for. WE have to accept the offer and maintain it.
Paul Washer is as satanic a liar as you'll find. Don't be fooled by this Calvinist. Calvinism is probably the biggest lie in the "Christian" Church, as God does NOT decide who goes to Heaven and as man's decision to become and/or remain saved is NOT God's responsibility. (The entire Bible would be contradicted if it were.)
Washer is a subtle, poisonous, deceitful liar. His feud with Joel Osteen is nothing but a smokescreen to his even-more-poisonous heresy.
To all those who are brand new Christians & those who have been justified by faith please DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS GARBAGE! This is a religous spirit & has led many to doubt their salvation, exchange their faith which satan is greatly after for a lie, to "prove" your saved via Washer, Piper, Macarthur & the like. Keep your Armor on please!!! I have videos that challenge these heretical teachings of TULIP Calvinism, Armenianism & the like The wrath Washer is exhibiting is not of God but of the flesh
Notice, to th e one who posted this video, thank you. I do agree with the section of the sermon provided that a new believer need not expect the type of repentance of a more sanctified believer, yet I needed to emphasize that there is an immediate conversion due to the power of the Holy Spirit and Jesus moving inside the newly redeemed. It was my intent to show that a true understanding of repentance is also necessary so that they can then know of the committment they are making to God.
11For behold what earnestness this very thing, this godly sorrow, has produced in you: what vindication of yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what (C)longing, what zeal, what (D)avenging of wrong!
Notice, then verse 10 says it is NOT a Judas type of sorrow that produces sorrow of the world. Many are sorry for sin or getting caught and never really repent.
2 Corinthians 7:9-10 repentance without regret. God accepts this committment:
9 I now rejoice, not that you were made sorrowful, but that you were made sorrowful to the point of repentance; for you were made sorrowful according to the will of God, so that you might not suffer loss in anything through us.
10For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a (B)repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death.
17But (AF)thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that (AG)form of teaching to which you were committed,
18and having been (AH)freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.
Your liberty in Christ is not to do wrong, but for the first time to do right. Jesus did say in John 8:31, "Whoever continues in My Word is My real disciple." Whoever goes on doing what is right, pursuing righteousness and holiness. Amen.
Take comfort as a new believer. Enjoy the new relationship to God the Father. Do be assured of your salvation while dying to sin on a daily basis. New creatures in Christ have repented of all sin (let go of all of it) and know the Gospel and Christ. It does take longer for some than others to overcome sin of course, but remember Romans 6 and 7, the committment and go from there. Praise be to God for the understanding, read thru it all, study it.
As you can see, Romans 6 and 7 is very informative on telling the new believer, the new creation in Christ (2 Cor 5:17) of what power they have by the indwelling power of the Holy Spirit and Christ living inside them. Paul said I live yet Christ lives within me.
6 knowing this, that our (L)old self was (M)crucified with Him, in order that our (N)body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 16Do you not (AC)know that when you present yourselves to someone as (AD)slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of (AE)sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?
Roimans 6:1-2 and then will continue on: 1(A)What shall we say then? Are we to (B)continue in sin so that grace may increase? 2(C)May it never be! How shall we who (D)died to sin still live in it?
The point of the definition is that the one God saves by His Grace alone thru their faith alone in Christ alone is the one that makes the full committment when they repent and believe the Gospel. Consider the following verses and may the Holy Spirit indwell inside you on a daily basis as you continue to overcome sin in your own life.
"Repentance unto life is a saving grace whereby a sinner out of true sense of his sin and apprehension of the mercy of God in Christ doth with grief and hatred of his sin turn from it unto God with full purpose of and endeavor after new obedience." 1674 Westminster Confession of faith statement. A group of men who took 5 years to study scripture and then comment on great doctrines.
