Can't Believe I Did It Again | Theocast

[@According_To_Matt]

I hate my sin. I read all the NT passages about not sinning and I think, "that's not me," and just sink into depression. I've even wanted to die just so I stop sinning. I think that's a cop out. As I balance Scriptures that command us not to sin with Scriptures addressed to believers that talk about how to respond when we do, I think it's clear we should have a godly attitude to sin and strive not to, but not to give up when we do fail. We should never embrace sin, but always run to God if and when we do.

Philippians 1:6Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: Keep fighting the good fight of faith! Satan will lie and accuse, remember God's promises. Prayers 🕊️❤️🙏

[@jrvargas3096]

Thank you very much this brought me comfort I been beat down by my sin but this video gives me understanding and faith even more in Christ.

[@lysiaselina1195]

This is so timely. I struggle with my salvation constantly and its very exhausting. I hear preaching that if you are not showing the fruit of the spirit then you're deceived and not saved. I believe in what Jesus has done for me and my sins, and agree with God how sinful I am. But I still struggle with patience and anger sometimes. Lately I've been so close to cursing at times out of no where and I don't know why. I haven't been reading my Bible either and I've seen someone say if you don't read or pray every day your not saved. I feel like I'm in a weird season in life right now and when I look at all these things it makes me question my salvation. I feel stuck buy I still love the Lord. I don't want to be one of those in Matthew 7 23, that terrifies me. I need rest but it's so hard.

[@angelicaloma7747]

You should watch their series on Lordship Salvation, I think it would help. I also struggled with sin and thought I wasn’t saved but now I know I am 💗 I’ll be praying for you sis

[@leoregulus4621]

I'm exactly feeling this way and I'm just now entering a period where I prayed for God to help me learn the word and I told him of my desire and so he showed me many things and still I'd but also shown me false teachers and helps me seek truth to discern between false and true and I'm just learning about lordship and grace doctrines and calvanism vs Armenianism and like you I just want the truth and in my heart I think I know and you are not alone and we will see that this video is truth its supported way more than other theories people come up with you aren't alone we are with you AND GOD IS WITH YOU HE NEVER LEAVES OR FORSSKES YOU AMEN

[@NRIH144]

Romans 10:9 Galatians 4:12 Galatians 3:26 If you have it then you made it. Much love be to you all. Pray for one another and be strong. Til next time!

[@itspeepday4244]

I believe the very fact that you're concerned about it is reason to rejoice in your salvation...keep listening to good reformed pastors..I pray that you would grasp this message and truly rest in your salvation, where gratitude for his grace would replace your fear ❤ ps. No Christian can boast in anything for salvation, not even praying everyday...which honestly, they most likely have failed there too!

[@rickymauser2067]

This was so encouraging and refreshing. We weary pilgrims who hate our sin but still struggle with it need to be reminded of the gospel/grace of Christ. I loved the part about adoption papers. Thank you so much! I would love to see a Theocast podcast take on prayer. I believe there's been a lot of confusing things said regarding prayer and pietistic versions of how to pray but I would love to hear about what true biblical prayer looks like because it's something I struggle with.

[@scottsinger273]

This has got to be one of the BEST episodes you guys have ever shared with true believers!!! Im excited to share these very simple but powerful truths with other believers in my life! Thank you guys so much!!

[@russdunton2103]

When I am that guy.. “as a dog returns to its vomit” proverbs 26:11 I no longer question Gods faithfulness to complete the good work that He began in me, or His promises. I do know that those sins damage me, and cause a separation between us because I am ashamed, and used to think I couldn’t go to him in prayer.. which is exactly the opposite of what I am forcing myself to do nowadays. To not make excuses, but to repent (I continue to hold myself accountable) but to trust In his word and his faithfulness. My behavior cannot change his. I remind myself that he is not like us. His promises are trustworthy and true. My weakness is not going to change his mind about me, he knew me and all that I would ever do, before he pulled this wretched sinner from the pit. I will still repent and beat myself up (a bit) but I won’t question his faithfulness because of my actions. He is never changing! He is faithful to complete the work that he began in all of his elect. What a friend we have in Jesus.

[@skinlikewinter7178]

What a breath of fresh air this was. At times I have been so burdened by lack of a “radical change” in my life that I have fallen into depression. I am not where I once was but I do still struggle with some things that were present before salvation and some days I feel like I am the only one like this. I know that isn’t the case but these types of talks are so rarely had and it is a shame. Thank you both for this you guys are awesome.

[@THEOCAST]

Thank you for sharing

[@razzendahcuben]

I could have written this, except for me I have sinned worst in recent years than ever before. Depression is real and Romans 7 is more real than ever.

[@ronniedrynum2410]

WHAT A BLESSING TO HEAR ILLUMINATION OF OUR GOD’S WORD! PRAISE GOD FOR JESUS’S PERFECT AND FINISHED WORK! TRULY , HIS YOKE IS EASY AND HIS BURDEN IS LIGHT!

[@guardianmeister6650]

That whole thing about the "doers of the law" being justified has to be handled in its context. Paul says that and then moves on to demonstrate that no one, really, is truly a doer of the law and hence we must be justified by faith. I've seen people pound the table with that one. Even within myself, I can catch myself pounding the table. We have to keeping coming back to Christ alone. It's absolutely mind boggling. Even after years, the thought of what God did in Christ and the provision of the New Covenant can be totally overwhelming. I guess you could say we are simultaneously growing in our understanding of Amazing Grace and a "wretch like me."

[@TL-yl5tp]

How wonderful this vid was, especially for me and I know for all of the brothers and sisters who heard this encouraging message. May indeed we rest in Christ alone for all things and trust in God for our Justification, sanctification, and our glorification. Thank you brothers and may God bless all.

[@THEOCAST]

Thank you!

[@SojournerDidimus]

This battle for perfection is so prevalent (or completely absent)! Even when we hear a great preacher like Paul Washer, yes, there is grace, but there is a huge pile of sanctification, holiness, and piety on the edge of pietism stacked on top of that message.

[@medic4christ777]

Lack of assurance and defeat is coming from the pulpit of "great preachers" like Paul Washer. Him and Johnny Mac are all about causing people to despair, without hope of salvation. Always wondering, never having assurance. All they do is point people to themselves. Is it any wonder when looking to oneself for assurance, one never has any?

[@daccaboy]

The Gospel is not our response…to the Gospel. This thought doesn’t lead to antinomianism. Gospel teaches us to deny ungodliness, Titus 2:11-12 Saw Johnny Mac at a conference back in 1982. He wasn’t headlining anything and he looked so angry. He’s a pietistic fundy…

[@618society7]

You guys talk like confessional Lutherans. I have never heard Calvinist talk about law and Gospel. It’s just weird. I like it.

[@marlenemartin4945]

So good!

[@markdiblasi3061]

But now it is no longer I who do it but sin that lives in me. Rom 7:17.

[@evahernandez6452]

Excellent. Thank you. ❤️ Praise the Lord.

[@THEOCAST]

Thanks!

[@itspeepday4244]

Ahhh the gospel really is good news! I love reformed theology💯

[@davestephen8679]

It comes down to conviction between God and us personally with scriptures that's why how a person votes in presidential elections means right standing in Christ Jesus in things clearly against God Almighty and mankind🙏💜

[@ivansokol1370]

People try to overcomplicate the simply gospel, the bible is clear about salvation, realize your sin and turn to Christ for hope.

[@mrhudson8701]

Excellent as always guys... I am going to tweak you on "streams always flow downhill" with this great verse out of Isaiah "It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it," Thanks for sharing rest to the body of Christ!

[@THEOCAST]

Thanks!

[@jayrobarge3443]

I appreciate this brothers! Thank you

Thank you!

"Agreed and sided with God against our sin" = Repentance

[@timothydavis3167]

I would argue that the battle between wanting to do what's right but not doing it is not uniquely Christian. Non-christians deal with the same battle, although I agree that they are not regenerated. And yet, the battle is still there. Just think about those struggling with addictions who aren't Christians. Many know that it isn't right and they don't want to struggle with it, and yet they still fall into it. While they don't have a dual nature, the battle between what they see as right and wrong still exist. So it is something that they can relate to.

[@CoryKruse]

In Greek the word “forgive” is- Homologate: to approve, confirm, or ratify something officially. This term is derived from the Greek roots “homos” (meaning “alike” or “same”) and “logos” (meaning “word” or “speech”). So when we forgive, or ask God to forgive us, we’re saying that we agree with God that we are sinful by nature and have no where else to go to be saved. He is the only one who can give us life.

[@michealferrell1677]

How and to what end is Jesus using the language of “plucking the eye “ or “cutting the hand off” In Matthew ch 5

[@Huero87]

In the church, you hear a lot about 1 John 3:9 and habitual sin. The issue is how do you define that? what if you get angry with your wife once a year for the rest of your life? Isn't that habitual? What are your thoughts on that verse?

[@chrisarmstrong3200]

i have found that as i battle sins when it seems that victory has been granted in one area(say masturbation)then another area (like pride)rears its ugly head and i battle that etc. it goes on and on so i feel like i am playing whack a mole

[@stevelenores5637]

Since the RCC ran brothels, I'm not sure what that says to the laity about not sinning. It's possible they still do but keeps it hidden. Don't even try to deny this. It's recorded church history.

[@Timedesigner]

Hey guys could you clarify if Paul is speaking before or after his conversion when he says “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do”. I’ve heard some say that Paul is speaking of himself before he was saved. People who say this will say that people who engage in perpetual sin aren’t repentant.

[@THEOCAST]

Then read the end of James, clearly James believed one could wander from the truth unto death. Listen to Jon Moffitts last two sermons on James

[@Timedesigner]

@@THEOCAST Ok will do thank you!

[@618society7]

I see no evidence that Paul was speaking of the past. Charles Spurgeon believed that Paul’s thorn in the flesh was a temptation / sin problem. Read his sermon on the thorn in the flesh.

[@McChurch7]

Why dont these guys talk about the sins they are committing and what they are doing to become more like Jesus Christ?

[@zachm4438]

are you going to print more of those stickers?
