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

[@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. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼❤️

[@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!

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

[@Martins913]

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]

@@Martins913 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.

[@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

[@kadianthompson9793]

A very encouraging sermon, directly from the word too !

[@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.

[@NowayJose-d3b]

Perhaps, you were once saved. However, God's love will not redeem you a second time from the 10 commandments. The LAW OF THE ministration of death and condemnation, WRITTEN AND ENGRAVED IN STONE has condemned you once again, only now *there will be no more sacrifice for your sins, because you have done despite to the Spirit of Grace and trodden underfoot the blood of Christ by whom you were ONCE sanctified (Heb.10:28) Heb. 4:4 *For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, Heb. 4:5 have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, *Heb. 4:6: *If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.* God does not require Christians to keep the law of Moses in order to follow "His Commandments." . God's commandments for Christians has nothing to do with being or becoming Jewish.

[@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.@@NowayJose-d3b

[@jadedone1937]

​@@NowayJose-d3b 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.

[@NowayJose-d3b]

@@jadedone1937 Don't worry about all that probation fable. That's all nonsense. Here's the fact, you have let a false prophet deceive you. Christ warned you that many false prophets would arise and deceive many. And, you are a victim. And, now you have walked away and turned your back on the righteousness of faith through the Grace that it is in Jesus Christ. Some groups are obsessed with the mission to bring all of Christianity and the entire world Under the *"ministration of DEATH and CONDEMNATION WRITTEN AND ENGRAVED IN STONES"* 2Cor. 3:7-9 and *the letter that "killeth"* (vs.6) of *the law engraved in the tablets of stone!* ( *2 Cor. 3:7* ), called the *"Ministration of DEATH"* , and the *"Ministration of condemnation"* VS 8-9 and use Christ's name to do it! 2 Corinthians 3:17 Now the Lord IS THAT Spirit: and where the *Spirit of the Lord is, there is LIBERTY.* *The Apostle Paul condemns the Judaziers saying. Phil **3:18** *"For many walk, of whom I have TOLD YOU OFTEN, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the ENEMIES of the cross of Christ:"* Indeed, the 10 commandments are the ministration of DEATH and CONDEMNATION, WRITTEN & engraved in STONE. Once you get that, you will before forced to come to Christ for mercy and forgiveness. The very fact that 2Cor.3:6-9 calls *the 10 commandments the MINISTRATION OF DEATH AND CONDEMNATION WRITTEN & ENGRAVED IN STONE proves Col. **2:16** means the weekly Sabbath.* Then speaking of the law written and engraved in stone, the Apostle Paul says the following: 2Cor. 3:11 *For if that which IS done away* was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious (the giving of the Holy Spirit, by Grace through Faith) . 12 Seeing then that we have such hope, *we use great plainness of speech* : 13 And not as Moses, *which put a veil over his face,* that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of *that which IS abolished: * Romans 7:6 • *But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held* ; that we should serve in *newness of spirit, and NOT in the oldness of the letter.* Now compare that with Eph. 2:15, God does not require Christians to keep the law of Moses in order to follow "His Commandments." . God's commandments for Christians has nothing to do with being Jewish. The Adventists and their like all do the same thing with Eph. 2:15 and then say the 10 commandments are NOT A WITNESS against those who profess to keep them! But, they will lie and deceive to do anything to keep your followers at the expense of going to hell in the process. *But, beware, if you return to the LAW OF THE ministration of death and condemnation, WRITTEN AND ENGRAVED IN STONE *there will be no more sacrifice for your sins, because you have done despite to the Spirit of Grace and trodden underfoot the blood of Christ by whom you were ONCE sanctified (Heb.10:28) Heb. 4:4 *For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, Heb. 4:5 have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, *Heb. 4:6: *If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.* God does not require Christians to keep the law of Moses in order to follow "His Commandments." .

[@NowayJose-d3b]

. Sin under the new testament is obeying the sinful nature of man which is summarized in Gal. 5:17-19. And, what a Christian should be is shown clearly in Gal. 5:22-24. Those of the law are still in the flesh, those of the Spirit walk in the Spirit, through faith and by the Grace of Christ. And by His Grace and the workings of the Spirit overcome the flesh, not by keeping law but by the power of the Holy Spirit. The entire intended righteousness of the body of the law is to be fulfilled in Christians (Rom 8:4) , not by doing the deeds of the law in the letter, but by the fruits of the Holy Spirit working in us. If you could overcome sin through Sabbath keeping or the law, there would be no need of Christ or the Holy Spirit. And that, my friend, is the gospel! If you want to understand the book of Romans, Galatians and Colossians , read it with this in mind, and suddenly you will understand the entire books so much better. Gal 5:18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death

[@oceansveiws]

@@NowayJose-d3b 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

@@NowayJose-d3b 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.

Thank you, great message Pastor Batchelor !

[@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%.

I'm not a pastor nor a priest, I do not worship the pagan beast, I'm just a man who sings this song, It's a sin to ignore your wrong and sit yourself on your high horse as you pave a wicked course, Ignore the words spoken to you, Blind your eyes from what you do, On judgement day it's far too late, To make your crooked path now straight, I'm not a pastor nor a priest, I do not worship the pagan beast, I'm just a man who sings this song, It's a sin to ignore your wrong.

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]

Adventist movement is raised to fulfill the mission - 144.000 sinners who will prove that Satan accusations are wrong. Those 144.000 will be going throughout universe and will talk about ultimate misery of sin... TRUE STORY And that will be protection for another sin experiment through all eternity.

[@Milos-Stankovic]

144.000 will, and already suffer tremendous opposition inside and outside.

[@samuelbagni6501]

we are all sinners we must daily die in our life in order Christ live in us.

[@Sirder]

The only way you can be perfect if you are possessed by JESUS, we read Christ in you, you’re hope of glory. We can’t live the Christian life only HE can, we read if you abide in me and I in you,you can bear much fruit ,without me you can do nothing.I am telling you all this from experience. Once I lived 6 months perfect, when Jesus lived in me, He was more real to me then my wife standing next to me.real meaning His presence. May GOD bless you all I am SDA.

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.

[@Milos-Stankovic]

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.
