13:58 I appreciate the analogy…. Makes perfect sense and it was the best way to describe how the fruits of the spirit should be on full display

My experience is Works are for our benefit. To get involved and see Jesus at work in people and situations is amazing. It teaches you about Jesus, strengths your faith and is very rewarding. Thank you Jesus

There is no such thing as OSAS. No one knows whether he is saved or not until he stands before God for judgment at death. When Our Lord founded His Church on the Apostles (Matt 16:18-19) and sent them to teach people to OBSERVE ALL HE COMMANDED for salvation of souls until the end of the world (Matt 28:19-20) saying, "Whoever believes you and baptized will be saved, and whoever does not believe you will be condemned (Mark 16:16)." Our Lord did not say, "Whoever believes you is saved." Why Our Lord said, "Will be saved"? Of course, a believer, who faithfully observe what Our Lord Commanded as taught by His Church during his whole life, will be saved at the end. As Our Lord said, "Whoever perseveres to the end will be saved (Matt 24:13). If a believer does not observe and do as taught by His Church, he may not be saved at all. For one mortal sin (1 John 5:16) will make him to be condemned, if he does not repent and is forgiven before death.

@@hyeminkwun9523 If we really understand the Lord's love for us, what else would we do but believe in Him to the changing of our lives (1 John 3:1-3, 4:19). Did not the Sanhedrin take note the Apostles had been with Jesus from the way they acted? You are saying you do not know if you are saved. What prevents you from seeing His love? How can one meet Jesus and not know if one is saved? The person who meets Jesus is either going to come to Him or try to run away.

@@deanfry879 Ephesians 2:10 says, 'we are created (namely, reborn) in Christ Jesus for the good works that we should walk in them,' which the baptized promises to God during the rite of the Sacrament of Baptism. 1 John 3:8-9 says, 'He that commits sin is of the devil. No one begotten by God commits sin.' And Our Lord said, "Amen, amen, I say to you, everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin (John 8:34). To retain the Sanctifying Grace received, the baptized must not sin; otherwise, he will lose the Grace much the same way as our first parents lost it and death came. 'You are called to be holy (1 Cor 1:2).' 'No one who fails to act in righteousness belongs to God (1 John 3:10).' We have to fight continually against Flesh, World, and Satan and their temptations, and against our fallen nature, so that we do not sin. This fight require assiduous efforts on our part to cooperate with the Graces given through the Sacraments Our Lord instituted in the Church, particularly, the Sacraments of Confession and the Holy Eucharist (John 6:53-54). This fight is not easy, as Our Lord said, "How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to Life, and those who find it are few (Matt 7:14)." That's why St. Paul said, "I chastise my body and bring it into subjection, for fear that, after having preached to others, I myself should become a reprobate (1 Cor 9:27)." St. Paul was concerned about losing salvation and, thus exhorted believers, "Work out your salvation with fear and trembling (Phil 2:12)." Do you think obtaining salvation is a piece of cake? Without the Graces from Sacraments administered by the Catholic Church, one cannot be saved. That's why, "Outside of the Church, No Salvation" is a Catholic Dogma (Catechism # 846). If you are interested in this Dogma, please watch Father Isaac Mary Relyea's talk on this subject on KZbin.

A believer sins and the Holy Spirit helps them recognize that sin and go to the Lord in prayer confess our sins and ask for forgiveness. That's our humanness reaching out to God with repentance. W hen the disciples ask Jesus to teach them how to pray He told them to pray in this matter Matthew 6: 9-13.

Problem is most of the Christians in the Last Days are becoming "Performance based" Christianity. There was a worship leader who said "I wanna make sure that by singing up there is Im making the Holy Spirit come down." In my thought I was like what did I just hear?" with jaw dropped. I know people who are so quiet and living a holy life that just by praying for people, serving God by helping people quietly are full of anointing than those who are pushing the tithes and offering to people before they could be called "obedient" for me RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD through JESUS is so deep that the carnally minded believers do not understand.

Okay so who are these performance-based Christians never heard of any and I've never seen any? If they're a Christian they're a Christian because they follow Christ and they love Jesus this is why there a Christian in the first place!!! And the second pack is the unbelievers they don't even believe in Jesus they don't even apply here!! So this false teaching and Doctrine does not even exist it's not even biblical!!! So there is no such thing as performance based Christians!!! Need to be very careful with this the devil is very very deceiving!!!!!!

Thanks for this discussion. There is no such thing as hyper grace. I think people just haven’t come to really understand what grace is. God’s grace has another side of the coin which is found in Titus 2:11-13. The grace of God not only forgives sins, but also empowers/ teaches/trains people to live for God. I really don’t like how people insult the grace of God by calling it hyper grace. Thank God for using you guys to bring out this topic of discussion. I enjoyed it.

If you just look at Baptists’ favorite example of salvation through faith alone, the thief on the cross, even he technically did a good work. His two good works were acknowledging he deserved his punishment and reverently asked Christ, “remember me when You enter your kingdom.”

25:43 examination of yourselves to see where you are in your faith What fruits are on display in your life and are you consistently adding more fruits to your behaviors. Are you following all his commands, decrees or instructions? I didn’t get all m fruit at one time they came as God showing me were I fell short and my surrender and openness to grow and ask for more wisdom, understanding the more I depend on him the more he shows me and use me When God says well DONE my good and faithful servant…, he’s expecting you DO something

18:50 there is something required… look at the parable of the talents You are required to use whatever gifts, skills, tools and talents to help others Share everything you have… bread, shelter, clothing Help anyone that asks and ones God tells you to help You are required to do what the Bible commands and what Jesus did and taught. If you believe nothing is required you will be considered lazy and not be rewarded in eternity. There are I think 7 crowns 👑 that can be earned in the Bible.

I have a spiritual question: Is it considered an unpardonable sin if i get intrusive thoughts or thoughts that would pop up out of fear and nervousness with thoughts that are blasphemous that call Jesus or the Holy Spirit what the pharisees did in scripture? Like these thoughts calling the Jesus or the Holy Spirit satan? Is it unpardonable? I'm concerned. Prayers for me. I've had an intrusive thought a while ago and ever since you explained shared about the meaning of the unpardonable sin and then i had an intrusive thought that said was saying the Holy Spirit was an imagination and then immediately prayed to God to try to say I didn't agree with it and caught myself saying I do because I was praying fast. I tent to pray fast because intrusive thoughts come into my prayers too. And I instantly felt quilty and caught off. Like I was beyond hope and forgiveness. I've been praying 1 john 1:9 and went it comes to intrusive thoughts that have to do with the unpardonable sin and trying not to think anything bad like I've shared before it feels hard to cling to his promise in scripture. I feel quilty and my heart grow hard. And I don't want my heart to feel this way or end up in this state. I want to care for Jesus and the faith. I feel concerned to fall away, not care, and drift away. Please pray for me to give me hope and peace.🥺 🙏

Doing good works cannot save because it is impossible for an unbeliever to do good works in the eyes of God. Unbelievers do "good works" to bring glory to themselves in the eyes of humans, but those works cannot bring glory to a God they do not know. Nor can good works bring glory to a God one only thinks one knows from what they have heard about Him but have never met.
