Doug Batchelor | Do You Need To Be Perfect To Be Saved?

[@Nirphan]

Heard almost every sermon from Pastor Doug that’s been uploaded. This is the most emotional I’ve seen him. I think there’s an urgency that he’s conveying. We have to keep praying for him.

[@you.are.precious2962]

Amen. 💯 And I say Amen to all his reflections. It resonates so much in me. 🙏🏾 praying for each other aways

[@Jaithesaintt]

Wow same. I literally came to comment that. Cause I’m watching from my tv. I have also watched all of them and watching him cry broke my heart. I have never seen him be emotional as well. God bless this man ❤how smart he was about the dogs. God sends us relief!!!!! I’ve seen it!

[@sherimcdaniel3491]

I watch many pastors from within my town around the world. But none have touched my heart as this sermon has. I sometimes worry that I’m not deserving of forgiveness, though I do the very best I can. This sermon, Pastor Doug, revealed to me that yes, I am. Living for service to God, following His commandments, loving my neighbors and forgiving those who are not believers and who poke fun when the subject of God and living a life FOR God. I forgive them and try to lead by example. For, if a person looks back upon their life, it is clear that the Father has been with them and intervened somehow, throughout their lives. I love this sermon very, very much. Thank you, Pastor Doug for bringing this brightest light into my life. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@shayafendez7702]

This is the best sermon Doug has preached yet!! I teared up when he did. He has been my leader for 16 years. I love him.

This sermon just made me realize just how great God's love is for me, we have so much to be thankful for, for the great things He has done for us, just where would we be without Him.Truly we are loved

[@Carlos_Dee_M]

I'm glad you feel that way. I cant, unfortunately, feel the same way you do. I don't think God loves me. My sins are too great. It's a lot easier to be doomed than to be saved.

[@tristenredondo6546]

@@Carlos_Dee_M as long as you're death isn't caused by your own hand I don't think there's any sin too great for God to forgive I think God looks at us as children and if I ever have children and that child spills milk to the child that may seem like the most atrocious thing he's ever done but to a dad it could be forgiven. That's just a small example mind you.i honestly believe That the only sin that cannot be forgiven is suicide because you cannot ask for forgiveness or change your ways after it. Yes when we sin it hurts God greatly but God is our father and as much as any dad in this world would love their child hopefully no matter what. Even the most loving earthly father to ever exist on this earth would greatly pale in comparison to our heavenly fathers love. That's why i believe he gave us freedom of choice to love him back. And I couldn't nor want to imagine how indescribably painful it would be for him if even one person chose not to. I love you man and I don't even know you I can't even fathom the love that God has for you. God bless you 🙏

It is tremendously touching how Pastor Dough's experience of fighting his way through the fear, exhaustion and snow reflects on Jesus's experience on the cross!! This is how Jesus fought to make a path for God's children. I will carry this story with me for the rest of my life. I thank you Pastor for everything you are doing and for your courage to share your emotions with us in this broadcast 🙏

First time I've heard one of your sermons maybe God put it on my feed bc he knew I needed this message? I like your style of preaching you read scripture which is usually missing alot with sense of humor I appreciate that! It definitely draws people in your not all fire and brimstone!! God Bless You!!

[@contributepositivevibes]

Thanks Pastor Doug for making perfection palatable and not sound impossible and discouraging like some preachers do. You present it in such a nice way it's more receptive that people can figure out for themselves and not be scolded 👉🏼 into perfection 😮‍💨 The way it was presented gives me hope 🙏🏻

[@Fireinthestubble]

That story at the end got me right in the heart. ❤️ Thank you Jesus for the encouragement just when I need it most.

[@Sydneysss]

Gods love is so powerful and He wants us to be full of joy and peace. I was listening to "INSTRUMENTAL WORSHIP // THIRST FOR GOD // Preaching, Reflection, Devotional, Meditation // WORSHIP" while listening to this and I praise God that there is so much more love and joy and peace that we don't fully experience on this sinful earth that God has in His boundless universe.

[@Sydneysss]

Don't pretend to be my Judge, Jesus is my judge, Lord, and Savior from sin. The grace of God produces good works in our lives and God came to save us from sin. I pray everyday for Gods Holy Spirit and for His righteousness so He is working in my life to sanctify me. "I delight to do Your will, O my God, And Your law is within my heart.” Psalm 40:8. Maybe you don't want to do Gods will because the devil wants you to be a slave to sin, but put on the full armor of God and resist the devil so that he may flee from you. God isn't done working in your life unless you have totally grieved away the Spirit or have slept in death.@user-sm3qh5xq1y

[@jadedone1937]

​@user-sm3qh5xq1y Am I understanding your statement to say that there is no repentance of sins beyond a certain point and that the saving grace of God only covers sins to a certain point and now this person is lost? Might as well.give up now because there's no point? If that's the case, why did Jesus come to die? Probation isnt yet closed either , unless we die in sin or probation closes there is still a chance for all to be saved.

[@mimijuneau5187]

Pastor you are filled with the grace of God, that can reveal every detail from the word of God

[@Granchen08]

Hi Pastor Doug! Wow! Not even the full story about perfection explained yet (at least until next week probably), and already this helped to encourage me! THANK YOU!!! As a follower of Yahshua, it always troubled me, trying to understand how to be PERFECT, but until now, I’m beginning to understand. Ever since I started learning about the close of probation, my one and only prayer was, “Lord, PLEASE, bring humility by conviction, and purification by repentance”, and just the other day, a voice said to me in my heart that He WILL save as many, as possible! And if The Holy Ghost promised me that, HE WILL DO IT!!! He will cast ALL sin into the depths of the sea, I pray in Yahshua’s all powerful name, AMEN. 🙏🔥 Mom and I were just moved when we saw you were starting to break down with that desperate situation and we are thankful that God gave all the strength you needed! Rebekah…

[@hyeminkwun9523]

The soul MUST be perfected to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, for anything defiled will not enter it (Rev 21:27). All those, who retained the Sanctifying Grace which was given to believers when they received the Sacrament of Baptism conferred by the One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church (Mark 16:16), will be saved. But most of souls are not perfect at the time of physical death, they have to be purified through the fire of Purgatory (1 Cor 3:15). When they are completely purified and perfected, then they are admitted to Heaven. The Sanctifying Grace is the wedding garment in the parable of wedding feast (Matt 22:12), which can be lost by committing a deadly sin (1 John 5:16). Without it, one's soul is dead and thus will be cast into Hell (Matt 22:13).

[@Granchen08]

@@hyeminkwun9523 Hi friend! So excited to see your reply!😃Even though I’m Jewish, I don’t mind about having you chat with me, the majority of my relatives, from both of my parents are Catholic, so I love, love, love, love, love, love, LOVE them, cause God made all people!🥰💖However, those verses you shared, differ from my version of the Bible. Based on what I learned, “It was granted her (the church) to clothe herself with fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the RIGHTEOUS DEEDS of the saints” (Rev. 19: 8). Also, yes, we’re purified by baptism, cause Yahshua (Jesus) said “unless one is born of 💦 and 🔥, he cannot enter the kingdom of God” (John 3:5), but in Greek, "Baptizo” means "to dip", "to immerse", to "plunge underwater", and we must be old enough to CHOOSE to sin in the first place, UNDERSTAND what our sins are, and ask Him to forgive us. Even though babies are born with the selfish behavior, God doesn’t call them guilty of sin, right away, cause “the kingdom of God belongs to such as these” (Luke 18:16), and sin is KNOWING to do good, and not doing it (James 4:17). Lastly, I’ve studied how to be purged from sin, but my Bible says that the purging process happens NOW that we’re alive, not at death. The Bible says, the tool God uses to cleanse us from sin, is FIERY TRIALS, cause tribulation causes us to exercise faith and loyalty to Him, helping us to go and stop living in sin (Romans 5:3-4/1 Peter 1:7/1 Peter 4:1-2,12). Please tell me what you think! If you’d like to see where I learned these from, then I suggest you watch this video, paste the link below to see it!👇🏽 I studied Catholicism (as a teen, I still have lots to learn), but I respectfully disagree with it’s foundations, and believe that it’s a man-made version of Christianity. “We must obey God rather than men” (acts 5:29). Anyway, God bless you and your family! I WON’T forget you! SHALOM!!!😍🙏🌸✨ REVELATION : ( The Bride ,The Beast , & Babylon ) 2013 ___ Doug Batchelor / Full Movie

[@rebeccamillican4909]

The law demands perfection, 100% of the time… Past, present and future. And the only way we can meet that requirement is through justification. When we turn our lives over to Christ and humbly confess our sinfulness, He declares us to be righteous. Then it takes a lifetime of sanctification. This means we need justification at the beginning of our journey, until the moment we die, or the Lord returns. We can’t ever go just on sanctification, because we never measure up 100%.

[@sylviaanderson704]

We certainly need to hear more of the Blessed Assurance we have through God's Word and leading in our lives that we will see our Lord and Savior one day soon as we follow in The Lord's footsteps and have faith that His righteousness is counted for us, but we need to live as God would have us live through his Almighty power we can overcome sin/ obstacles in our lives and be counted as His children❤ Homeward Bound! Heaven is our home oh what a glorious sight that will be when we see our loving Savior appears through the clouds of heaven❤ and call His children home amen amen

[@oceansveiws]

@user-sm3qh5xq1y Romans 8 :: because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death. in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. "We are to live by the spirit of the law" Which is to love God with all your heart with all your soul and with all your might and the second commandment is like unto it and that is to love your neighbor as you would love yourself! Because if you love God you're not going to sin against Him, if you love your neighbor you're not going to sin against them! The spirit of the law is love🥰 God bless

[@davidstarr6604]

@user-sm3qh5xq1y So you think the Spirit of God would lead you to break the letter of His own law? Is it wrong to worship idols? Curse God? Murder? Commit adultery? If you say Yes those things are wrong then you MUST include the 4th commandment as well. It is part of the 10 and the ONLY one that tells us who gave this law. If you say, "No, those things are not wrong to do" then you go against everything righteous, decent and moral. Your religion is one of lawlessness and Anarchy. God's grace does NOT go against His own moral law. This includes the 4th commandment as one of the 10.

[@davidstarr6604]

@user-sm3qh5xq1y The 10 commandment law is NOT Jewish. The book of Genesis alone shows this. Not that you will regard these texts. You seem to have a habit of redefining scripture and taking texts out of context to match your Jesuit beliefs. But nevertheless these things were known even BEFORE the Jews went into Egypt: 1) "Thou shalt have no other gods before me" - Gen 35:1-4 2) "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image..." - Gen 31:19, 34 & 35 and 35:2-4 Of course, as a Catholic, you won't follow this one anyway... 3) "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain" - Could not be broken before Moses learned God's name at the burning bush. 4) "Remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy..." - Gen 2:1-4 is when it was first established. It was "made for man/mankind". The word for "man" in Hebrew is "Adam". It was also already known before the Israelites went to Mt. Sinai (Ex 16:4 & 22-30) 5) "Honor thy father and thy mother..." - Gen 9:22-25 6) ""Thou shalt not kill/murder" - Gen 4:8-11, 23-24 and 9:5-6 7) "Thou shalt not commit adultery" - Gen chapt. 20; 38:24; 39:7-9 8) "Thou shalt not steal" - Gen 30:33; 31:19, 30&32; 44:8 9) "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor" - Gen 39:7-20 10) "Thou shalt not covet..." - Had to be broken before the 7th and 8th commandments could be broken Would you like a list of all 10 of the precepts of God's moral law endorsed in the New Testament? I have those too but I doubt you will ask me for them. You probably already know these things.... In fact, if you DON'T ask for them I will know you are being deliberately deceitful.

[@davidstarr6604]

@user-sm3qh5xq1y Mark 2:27 - "The sabbath was made for man" aka "mankind". Jesus did not say "the Sabbath was made for the just the Jews".... In the creation story the word for "man" is "Adam" in the original Hebrew. It means "the first man" and his descendants (all of mankind). Adam was created on day 6. the Sabbath (made for him) was on day 7. And yes, there is a direct command in the NT for Christians to keep the 7th day Sabbath. But, because you are not interested in where all ten of the 10 commandments are endorsed in the NT, I will just leave you to your own denominations beliefs. All I can do now is just laugh at your lies and misquotes and taking verses out of context. You will get nothing more from me than a ROFL@U. I just hope the end will be swift for you with no unnecessary suffering. But that choice is be yours to make.

[@davidstarr6604]

@user-sm3qh5xq1y Why do you keep calling it a "Jewish Sabbath"? It was made for man/mankind, not just for the Jews. And yes, Paul gives the command to keep the 7th day Sabbath as a day of rest. I suggest you consider Heb 4:1-11 (verse by verse, word for word). Don't leave verses 4, 8 and 10 out of the context. Verse 11 takes on a WHOLE new meaning doesn't it? The word "labour" (verse 11 KJV) in the original Greek means to "endeavor with all our might/strength". As well as reminding us if we don't believe we cannot enter into this Sabbath day of rest (remember to keep verses 4, 8 and 10 in the context of 1-11). Now, would you like a list of the other 9 in the NT? Or is it only the 4th you have problems with? 'Cause the other 9 make a good moral law any ole god could have given. But the 4th is the ONLY one tells us it is our Creator that gave this moral law. Remove God out of the law at your peril...... (Edited for spelling)

So will the 144000 still be sinning when probation closes? When the bible says He is able to keep you from falling. Is this true ? If we will be sinning till Jesus comes why hasn’t He come yet ? What’s He waiting for ? Is Satan right when he accuses God that his law can’t be kept ? These are all questions that bothered me UNTIL. .. I found pastor Dennis Priebe from amazing facts ministry ( no longer I don’t think). His sermon called ‘ perfection. What is possible for us ?’ Answered all my questions. When we have the 4 definitions of sin it is so much easier to understand....

[@Milos-Stankovic]

We are called to be perfect in Christ who knew no sin and that is the purpose of grace. God's grace is mercy and time to overcome all sin in our lives. No one is justified by keeping the 10 commandments ALONE since we are saved by grace. But keeping the 10 commandments is still a requirement to salvation and the 4th commandment says. Remember to keep the Sabbath Day Holy. Exodus 20:11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy. Ecc 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil. And we are to keep the 10 commandments including the Sabbath Day of rest whose timeframe is from Friday evening to Saturday evening because sin is the breaking of any of the 10 commandments and the wages for unforgiven sin is death and the soul that sinneth shall surely die. We are called to be perfect in Christ who was without sin. And he was without sin Because he did not live His life after the desires of the flesh. But rather after the teachings of God. Beloved: Salvation is a 2 step process. The 1st step in the process of salvation is being justified by what Christ which happens when a person accepts Jesus Christ as their person savior. And after being justified by what Christ did by accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior. The next step in salvation is sanctification after being justified is sanctification And Sanctification is a moment by moment and a day by day process of obedience to the will of God out of love ALL of the days of your life after accepting Jesus Christ as your personal savior. And We are called to be perfect in Christ as sin is no longer our master if you have been born again baptism by immersion as per Acts 2:38 and it is possible to be perfect in Christ on a moment by moment and on a day by day basis. with the help of the Holy Spirit in our lives. With God in our lives, all things are possible. Rom 6:14,15 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law ONLY as a means to salvation, but under grace as well. 15What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? By no means! The moment a person is forgiven of whatever sin it is that they have asked to be forgiven of. At that moment they are perfect in Christ. And as long as you do not sin again, you are still perfect in Christ and if you do sin thereafter and you ask to be forgiven again at that moment you are perfect in Christ again. And part of asking for forgiveness, also means that you will choose to turn away from and give up in your life whatever sin it is that you are asking to be forgiven of. Satan wants people to believe the lie that it is not possible to be perfect in Christ. So that that the people will continue to sin. With God in our lives all things are possible. Be Holy just as He has called you to be holy, so be holy in all you do; for it is written: "Be holy, because I am holy." 1 Peter 1:15-16 It is possible to be perfect in Christ on a moment by moment and on a day by day basis with the help of God the Holy Spirit by confessing our sin or sins and by choosing not to sin. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, Jesus is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. The moment a person is forgiven of what ever sin or sins it is that they have asked to be forgiven of. At that moment they are perfect in Christ God also wants us to be specific about what we are asking to be forgiven of. And if you choose to sin again after being forgiven then you are to ask Jesus for forgiveness again. and Part of asking for forgiveness also means that you will choose to give up in your life whatever sin it is that you are asking to be forgiven of. otherwise a person is taking advantage of God's grace. With God in our lives, all things are possible. The moment a person is forgiven of whatever sin it is that they have asked to be forgiven of. At that moment they are perfect in Christ because Christ is faithful and just to forgive us of our sins And as long as you do not sin again, you will remain perfect in Christ because you have not sinned again. But if you do sin thereafter then you are ask to Jesus to forgive you again who is faithful and just to do so and at that moment again you are perfect in Christ again. But Part of asking for forgiveness also means that you will choose to give up in your life whatever sin it is that you are asking to be forgiven of. Otherwise a person is taking advantage of God's grace. Keeping trying to overcome all sin in your life and never give up trying is my advice Complete surrender to the will of God by doing His will is a requirement to salvation. How to totally surrender to God. Constantly, throughout the day, continue to ask God what He wants you to do and then wait and listen to what He says through the Holy Spirit and He will let you know what he wants you to do. And if you get done with what He asked you to do then ask God again what it is that He wants you to do and then wait and listen to what He says and He will let you know through the Holy Spirit what he wants you to do next. Our character by our choices are to be transformed into the character of Jesus Christ by our choices and by our actions 2 Cor 3:18 But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit. and Jesus said to be Holy as I am Holy. 1 Peter 1:16 for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.” 1 John 3:21 Beloved, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God, 22 and we will receive from Him whatever we ask, because we keep His commandments and do what is pleasing in His sight. 1 John 3:20 Even if our hearts condemn us, God is greater than our hearts, and He knows all things. Beloved never give up in trying to be like Christ in character Repeat this process over and over again throughout the day. always, everyday and forever. The reason we are called to be perfect in Christ who was without sin by repenting of sin and by giving up in our lives all sin that we have asked to be forgiven of is so that we can live in harmony with the other created being who never choose to sin. and That 2 Cor 5:10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad. The problem with most people nowadays is they think that they can do whatever they want whenever they want without consequences which is so far from the truth. And sin will always be the breaking of any of the 10 commandments and the wages for unforgiven sin will always be death and the soul that sinneth shall surely die in the end in the lake of fire where the lost are thrown into as part of their final sentencing for sin where both body and soul cease to exist. and the one who knows the good they ought to do and does not do it to them it is sin

Be ye perfect as your father in heaven is perfect! Very simple

[@davidstarr6604]

@@Copperhead-sz1rr It is an ongoing process in the life of a Christian to continually improve ourselves to become more and more perfect with each and every day. Increasing knowledge to learn more and more who God is, what He wants us to do, etc. When we slip and fall (which will happen many times with our flawed human natures) Jesus is there to pick us up, forgive us of our sins and we can go on again from there. No one is perfect, yet God tells us to be perfect. To BECOME perfect, a better person than we were yesterday, day before..... This is NOT salvation by works. This is obedience to God. Salvation comes from Christ. True repentance is not just saying "Oops! Sorry". Repentance means forsaking that particular sin with the intent to never do it again. The life changes, the sinner becomes a righteous person. The life of habitual disobedience becomes a life of habitual obedience. As long as we live we should ALWAYS strive to be better people than we were before. Day after day after day.

What is the greek word in its actual context ? We inherited the sinful nature of ADAM. We can ONLY live à PERFECT LIFE WHEN WE INHERIT GLORIFICATION UPON CHRIST RETURN

[@davidstarr6604]

@@charnelallan7159 In Gen 6:9 (in the original Hebrew) the word for "perfect" is "tāmîm". It means also "without blemish", "sound, wholesome, unimpaired, innocent, having integrity", "what is complete or entirely in accord with truth and fact". Same word is used in Gen 17:1; Deut 18:13 and 32:4. There are others. In the NT (Matt 5:48 for instance) the Greek word is "teleios" - "fully grown", "mature", hence also "what is COMPLETE or entirely in accord with truth and fact" ("tāmîm"). (Edited to add): Matt 5:48 is in fact an exact literal translation from the Greek.

Simple test: 1. We will sin till death because we have sinful nature. 2. We can overcome sin like Jesus did... "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." Revelation 3.21.

Nobody can be "perfect". As long as you die in God's grace and friendship you will get to heaven However, your immortal soul has to be perfectly purified before entrance into heaven.

Although I agree that whoever was saying they were perfect is definitely wrong, simply being angry isn’t a sin.
