Are You Wasting Your Life?

This is a very powerful video and we all need to be reminded of such things since our culture is full of everything opposed to Christ, the Gospel, holiness and evangelism.

Christ did not die for my sins or yours, he was killed for the things he said...which is that he was powerful son on God, and so are you! Did he not say that you would these things and greater...the man woke up and tried telling those around him and was kill for it.....the same faith awaits me... and for that i shall gladly give my life.

@TheObserver2012 No, what you said is a blatant example of heresy. Jesus did die for our sins:

Isaiah 53:11 ...he shall bear their iniquities.

1 Peter 2:24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree...

1 John 1:7 ... the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.

2 Corinthians 5:21 For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.

1 Corinthians 15:3 ...Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures

It's very informative on the Evangelical perspective, and a feel-good piece (I made a typo while typing that; I wrote "feel-god piece", which on reflection is serendipitously accurate too) but seems to be strikingly limited in its experience of the breadth of humanity. Unless one already is Christian, most of the views here come off as very specific to those with a Christian mindset before viewing. Understandable considering its audience, but it seems unlikely to convert or persuade anyone else.

@Saavykaas Only God is able to draw people out of depravity englightening their soul to receive Christ (John 6:44, john 1:13). This video in and of itself may present some truth but only God can convert someone. This video is meant to give a zap to the backslidden church who has not submitted to the Lordship of Christ, who profess to know and follow Christ but often need to be reminded of these things. This isn't really for atheists.

Watching videos like this make me want to preach the word, to reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all long suffering and doctrine!

@Franke357 Jesus Christ and His very human divine life is the proof!

[KeithTruth]

@TheMissPINO The fact that all men are commanded to repent and believe despite predestination being true demonstrates that people better quickly realize that everything will glorify God in the end, either their salvation or their damnation. Everyone deserves hell for sinning constantly against God and His Holy law. But He shows His love in that while we were sinners Christ died for us. If you want to receive forgiveness and prove you're elect of God you need to learn the truth and submit to it.

[KeithTruth]

@TheMissPINO If you want to die in your sin and live a meaningless life as a product of a godless culture go ahead. As for those that believe, they will receive regeneration in their nature and thus new desires. Not all receive that though so if it's your destiny to persevere in rebellion and wickedness then no one can stop you.
