"...But I Know This Guy Who's REEEAAALLLY Seeking God!"

The majority of us can read the title of this video and relate it to a person we've encountered at some point who claims to know someone who's "REEEAAAALLLY seeking hard after God" because the person started attending the local Sensitive-To-Please-Unbelief "Church" or a local youth group, etc. Many have the idea that their attendance to a particular place, the good deeds they do, or some other self-righteousness they posses actually causes God to lay aside his justice and look at them to say, "Eh, they've done enough good. They'll do." This is woefully NOT what God does, though. As Paul said, "If righteousness comes by the law, Christ died for no purpose." and as Habakkuk stated, "...the just/righteous live by faith." (2:4) Mark Kielar and CrossTV shows the reason why the guy who's supposedly "REEEEAAALLLLY seeking hard after God" may just be seeking the benefits he can get from God without actually seeking the righteousness of God which comes by faith.

Lane I have been begging Jesus to save me for days. I thought I was saved for 10 years but I think I was wrong. He is not answering and I am desperately afraid I am not one of the elect. I want to repent but I don't want to repent because I am afraid. I want to repent because of God's love. What else can I do? Please pray for me.

Johnnie, take heart in this: Unbelievers have no concern for being one of God's elect.  Believers do. Although you may not quote-unquote "feel" like you're saved, you're providing evidence that you are just by having a desire to be saved. Unbelievers never even consider the notion. Remember, too, that sanctification is a process. It won't happen all overnight so if you're looking for dramatic results all of a sudden, you may be disappointed. Please pm me if you need me.

In Him,

Lane

@JohnnieNaked christain? these guys arent christian. not that you can't call someone a moron if they are. this is what you need to know. It has nothing to do with religion. Jesus died to send the Holy ghost. BUt king james was born 6, 1566, 6th of scotland, he gave 66 books and called them the word of God. Jesus is the word of God. NOw they take the same law book that Hung him on a tree and call it by his name. THE BIBLE IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST

[JohnnieNaked]

RHBS- I listen to PWasher everyday. We are all evil. We all fall short. Except for God's mercy and grace, no one can be saved. Believe on Jesus Christ, He is our hope. God wants all to come to Him. Some of his closest were crooked, murderer's, and the like. No one sin is worse that any other, save blaspheming the Holy Spirit. Jesus died for you, and me, and all. You have to receive the gift and believe. Seek until you find, knock until He opens. He is there.

im evil; i cannot come to Christ.

Ever since I have been hearing Paul Washer's preaching & similar preaching, I feel convicted. I feel like I am in danger. But I cannot save myself, I cannot come to God. will He save me? i feel like there is no hope......I'm too evil to love God. I wish He'd change my heart. I want to live a righteous holy life. whatever that means. I want this, b/c through Paul W. i see a new view on Christ. probably the only view that is true. Im scared. please pray for me.
