    This verse is only terrifying to those seeking to find righteousness thru the law. Who are the ones that "do" the will of the Father. All of those who believe on the one whom He sent!!!!! And what is the will of the Son. That all the Father gives to Him, He should lose none. This verse is actually quite liberating. We trust in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross and His perfect obediance. Blessings Saints!!! Praise Yeshua Hamashiach, our Great God and Savior!!!

    The Sermon on the Mount begins in Matthew 5. It ends in Matthew 7. In Matthew 5, Messiah tells us to keep the Law, even the least of the commandments and teach others to keep it. After that, Messiah expounds on the Law, bringing it up to it's fullest meaning. At the end of the Sermon on the Mount, Messiah tells us about those who think they are saved but are not. He said they were practicing Lawlessness. So, they were not doing what He told them to do at the beginning of Matthew 5. They were not keeping God's Law. After this, He says this: Matthew 7:24 “Therefore, everyone who hears these words of Mine, and acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of Mine, and does not act on them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell-and its collapse was great.” These people were not accepted because they had not truly repented. They were sorry that they were going to die because they sinned. Their repentance was fire insurance. They had not truly repented and turned from their evil ways. They continued in them. Messiah told us to keep God's Law and they did not. This is all about obeying Messiah, and He said to keep the Law. By the way the Law of God that Messiah told us to keep is the same Law that will be written on every believer's heart. To reject God's Law is to reject God. It is as simple as that. John 14:15 “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments." John 15:10 If you keep My commandments, you will remain in My love; just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and remain in His love. 1 John 2:4 The one who says, “I have come to know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him; 1 John 5:2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and follow His commandments. 1 John 5:3 For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. Revelation 14:12 Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus. Shalom!

    Some professing Christians are just content to remain in their safe zone, rose colored bubbles.. They're hesitant to share the gospel because they're scared of rejection, persecution and indifference.. They lost their saltiness, placed their light under a bowl, they lacked empathy for the lowly.. 25:51

    We're not justified by works of righteousness, but by faith alone in Jesus Christ, 1Cor.15:1-4; Eph.2:8,9. Fall in love with Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is my hope, he's my victory. My works are a mockery, I'm undone, I don't claim to know nothing, except Jesus Christ was crucified on my behalf. I'm confident that he's going to help me and clean me up, my only hope, 1Cor.15:14; Eph.2:8,9. My boost is in him because he purchased me at the cross. I cling to Jesus Christ, he's my breath, he's my strength, my only hope, not in myself. The evidence is my hope in him, the evidence is that I trust in what Christ had accomplished at the cross for me, a sinner saved by grace. The work is to tell others about his love and grace. God is just putting up with me in my many failures, but he justified me by his cross work, I've become an heir of the kingdom of God.

    Not to be contentious but I have heard that scenario many times before. Where in scripture does it say that Christ will ask the question. "Why should i let you into my kingdom ?" To be absent from the body is to be present with christ is biblical.Not some rhetorical question that has no basis in truth. If I am an error, I welcome correction.

    • @UnionChurchLH

    You sir do not preach the gospel of Christ... "Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF ONE the FREE GIFT came upon all men unto justification of life. 19For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the OBEDIENCE OF ONE shall many be made righteous." Romans 5:18-19 "Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:" 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 "But to him that WORKETH NOT, but BELIEVETH on him that justifieth the ungodly, his FAITH is counted for righteousness." Romans 4:5 "And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." Acts 16:30 It is simply BELIEF in the FINISHED WORK of Jesus Christ. Not by our obedience, which is filthy rags to God, but by HIS obedience. The verses of Matthew 7:21-23 preach clearly against a works based salvation that you are pushing. How in the world can you possibly get this so wrong? Discipleship is NOT the gospel of our salvation.

    • @UnionChurchLH
      @UnionChurchLH 11 месяцев назад

      You missed the whole point of the message. Salvation is by grace alone through faith alone. This message warns those who have trusted an experience, a prayer or anything else, that it is a spurious gospel. The true believer shows evidence of the transforming work of the Holy Spirit in their life. The question (as noted in the Book of James) is "What constitutes "belief"? Discipleship is the RESULT of our salvation.

    • @frankw.1721
      @frankw.1721 3 месяца назад

      You conflate how to have everlasting life with discipleship. This is why you can’t understand Matthew 7:21-23 or James 2:14-26; and an array of txts that lordship Salvationists get wrong.

    Jesus is talking about those who refused to Acknowledge Him by and making Him Lord. Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

  • @anthonyorji536
    @anthonyorji536 2 года назад

    GRACE IN SIN! GOD FORBID! As I fliiped through my bible, I came across a very, very interesting part of the scripture although all are important. Looking at the book of Romans 6:1-6, I discovered a Professor of Theology might want to explain it through KNOWLEDGE (FILTHY) and will get it very, very WRONG(very, very possible). Yes, An Apostle(Paul) who was once a MURDERER (Mysteries of Mysteries) was ARRESTED by CHRIST himself and JESUS CHRIST forgave him all his sins and he was made WHOLE. Looking at the first verse, "What shall we say then? The Apostle was asking a very, very mysterious question which no one is allowed to answer unless one who is given the GRACE. Yes, a man may ask a question and may not require an answer unless one is given the grace to answer such a question. Now, the Apostle knew that he was once LOST(SINNER/ MURDERER) but now he is FOUND, not just found but SAVED. Yes, there is a very, very great difference between being found and saved. A Professor quickly looked at me and told me to say the difference. Yes, Professor, the difference between found and saved is in GRACE! How? Yes, a man that was a one time smoker and was arrested by God and later goes back to smoking cannot be said to be FOUND seeing he was FOUND at the point of smoking and was restored back to LIFE but a man that was a one time smoker gave his life willingly and later backslide although not to smoking again but to FORNICATION would truly be said to be FOUND. Now for a man that was a one time smoker and later backslides, he has lost his SALVATION only if he dies in SIN(DEATH). Now provided that man is LIVING, his SALVATION is almost secured but if he does not allow Christ again into his LIFE, he has lost his salvation. Now, a pastor who preaches, once saved is forever saved should be tied by the brethren and forty strokes save one be administered upon his buttocks after which, he(Pastor, Bishop, Evangelist, Apostle, Deacon, etc) should be relieved of his TITLE (false of false). Now, talking about the book of Romans 6 Vs 1, which says, What shall we say then? Shall we continue IN SIN, that grace may abound? A man of knowledge (filthy) may want to use the bible and confuse his fellowers by making them believe that it is not CONDUCT. Yes, he may be very, very CORRECT and he is very, very WRONG. Yes! We will know why such a man is very, very WRONG. Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? How can grace abound(many) where SIN does not exist and how can sin abound where men are still carrying the BODY of the SPIRIT. Okay, Sin can only abound towards a man with the BODY of FLESH and the body of FLESH has the WORKS of the FLESH (Galatians 5: 19-21) but the BODY of the FLESH was Destroyed on the CROSS of CALVARY by the Son of Man(Jesus), hence, anybody that comes to him(Christ), he(Jesus Christ) will destroy the BODY of the FLESH and in exchange give the person the BODY of the SPIRIT (Galatians 5: 22-24). Now a man that has given his LIFE to Christ cannot CLAIM to be free from TEMPTATION and as such even the greatest APOSTLE on earth is not free from TEMPTATION. Hence, when a man that has the BODY of the SPIRIT (Galatians 2:20) is TEMPTED, there is AMPLE Grace(2 Corinthians 12:9) available for such a man to OVERCOME SIN(devil) but the" man in question is not spirit but a man having flesh and blood", hence he has "WILL", and the devil has to TEMPT him through his" will". Now this is what happens, if the "WILL" of the man to do evil is more than the GRACE released, the man(BORN AGAIN) will TRULY FALL into that SIN. It is happening everyday under the surface of the sun and God is truly not happy about that. Yes, the first shall be last and the last first. Yes, a great man of God who has served(CONDUCT) God faithfully for many years only to die at the LAST MOMENT out of CARELESSNESS. Some never told their members on the need to dress in a only way into church and at last the back blast(fornication) will hit the man. Verse 2, says God forbid. Apostle Paul had a STRONG BELIEF that once a man gives his life to God NOTHING of this world should ENTICE him away from God but that is his BELIEF and it worked for him till the end. Yet that is not always the case with most BELIEVERS. Even his fellow Apostle called DEMAS(2 Timothy 4:10) forsook him. Hence, no man is beyond TEMPTATION. And also in verse 2, it says, How shall we, that are dead to sin , live any longer there in. Looking at a Professor, I discovered if I explain this by the POWER of the HOLY GHOST, he will be SHOCKED (holy)! Yes, Professor, do you know what that means? TO BE DEAD TO SIN? He quickly gave his own meaning from his knowledge (filthy)! Yes, thou doest well but here is the meaning: DEAD TO SIN A man(Christ) told his Disciples "DO THESE IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME" and another man takes it to mean a CONTINUAL THING! Now this is what is means, Christ had to take bread(body- flesh, sin) gave thanks and gave it to his disciples to eat and also took wine(BLOOD- SIN), gave thanks and gave it to his disciples. Now if a man opens the bible, he will truly think that act should be a continual thing but in ACTUAL SENSE not!!! Yes, how can a man(Christ) give his disciples his body(flesh, containing the works of the flesh) and his blood(sin) and Immediately they drank, their bodies also became Christ's and as he(Christ) went to the CROSS and DESTROYED the WORKS of the FLESH, that of his disciples that is also containing the flesh(bread, sin) and blood ( sin) was also DESTROYED and in exchange he(Christ) gave them the BODY of the SPIRIT and another man on earth will now continue taking what was destroyed(flesh-sinful and BLOOD- sinful). Now once a man(smoker, drunkard, fornicator, adulterer, mastubator, porn watchers, ) gives his life to Christ, the BODY of the FLESH is DESTOYED and the BODY of the SPIRIT is given in exchange. The person becomes DEAD to SIN although could still be TEMPTED by the devil to revive the SENSE of the FLESH that was DESTOYED. Now if a man use his knowledge that understand this, he will get it very, very WRONG, but through WISDOM. Verse 3, was talking about the BAPTISM through the DEATH and RESURRECTION of Christ. Now if I ask a question, man may not be able to answer such a question! What is the question? What is the question? Yes, a man was a drunkard and died in sin and another man was a smoker and later gave his life to God. Why did God allow such a smoker to die in sin and gave his brother (drunkard) grace to give his life to him. Is God partial? If any man dare answers this question then God is no longer God! Yes, the writer is not an ordinary human being and he is not the one writing but a being(Holy) through him. Now God cannot be said to be PARTIAL but before the devil over his children (humanity), God is very, very PARTIAL! Why? Why? Yes, the devil knows that God is very, very PARTIAL over his children because a man will do what the angel of death would have SLAIN him but because of the MERCIES of God, he will have mercy. A man stabbed a pregnant woman and remove the baby from her womb and stabbed the baby to death, at that point, angel of death was supposed to be despatched to KILL the man IMMEDIATELY but because of the MERCY of God, he may still want to give such a one opportunity to still make it up to him(God). Now talking about the BAPTISM through death and resurrection, man may be confused! Yes, a man was a drunkard and gave his LIFE to Christ, if the man is still ALIVE then he is a SINNER! How? I mean if the man is still alive(sin, fornication, falsification of nature- false eyelashes, false skin- bleaching, false genital- transgender, false hair, false finger nails etc) but if the man is dead(to the world - detesting what he once loved, detesting the worldly music he onces loved, detesting fornication, smoking, alcoholism, masturbation, detesting falsification of nature etc). Now can a man that says he is dead be still alive( LOVING WORLDLINESS - filthiness) if he(she) is not a LAIR. Finally verse 6, is where CONDUCT(SERVANT) comes to PLAY and not NATURE. Yes, a servant is one who is BOUGHT OR PAID especially in the PAST to do one thing or the other for the MASTER(EITHER GOD (Born again) or the devil (SINNER). Yes, one cannot be a servant by NATURE ONLY but by CONDUCT(ACT). A man that was once a servant(CONDUCT) unto RIGHTEOUSNESS, once he begins to BACKSLIDE, he will finally become a servant(CONDUCT) unto SIN. It is finished! It is finished!
