That's the basis of all religion.
They think they can do something,
get everlasting life, face maker, pray, fast, repent,
lie on beds and nails.
They think they can earn eternal life from God,
or merit his favor, and yet it can't be done.
Pray, fast, repent, lie on beds and nails, repent.
What you have to do to have your case dismissed,
to walk out of God's courtroom and be gifted
with everlasting life because God's merciful,
is repent of your sins.
Let's turn to Allah in repentance,
no matter what you've done.
Allah is your maker.
Do not follow the path of those who lead astray.
Follow the path of Allah.
If He has covered you whilst you were sinning,
do you think He is going to expose you
when you have repented?
And your life should be evidence of it.
You shouldn't let foul words come out of your mouth.
You should live in holiness.
This is your salvation.
There's nothing more important.
The most important thing you have, I have,
would be the gift of being able to tread the right path.
So there is no point in saying
"ihdina as-siraat al-mustaqeem" a million times
when you have no intention to look for the path
or to walk on it or to make an effort to learn it.
Face maker, pray, fast, repent, lie on beds and nails.
Pray, fast, repent, repent, repent, repent.
That's the basis of all religion.
They think they can do something, they can have a lasting life.
They think they can earn eternal life from God.
Well, merit is a favor, and yet it can't be done.
There are two things you have to do to be saved.
You must repent.
Not just ask Jesus into your heart, but turn from all sin.
No more lying, stealing, blasphemy.
No more lust.
Turn from all sin and live in holiness.
And trust alone in Jesus.
So there is no point in saying

A merit is a favor. I need it can't be done.
I need it can't be done.
Can't be done.
There are some churches that don't preach repentance.
They just preach believe.
And it's based on believe on the Lord Jesus Christ
and you shall be saved.
But the trouble is if you've got a group of people that believe
and don't repent and they say all the doctrines
they repent sometime later,
they're not saved until they repent.
You've got a mess of people sitting in your church
who believe in Jesus,
but they don't have the things that accompany salvation.
They haven't turned repentance onto life, the Bible speaks.
They're still in their sins if they haven't repented.
Confusing about the Gospel is nothing confusing about salvation,
but the reason people are confused is because they're getting a mixed message.
Because one minute it's all faith,
and then the next minute it's repent of your sins.
Confusing! Which one is it?
You say repenting of your sins is part of faith. Liar!
No it isn't!
Because repenting of your sins has to do with your sins
and faith has to do with believing in Jesus.
They're two totally different things.
You see repenting of your sins is something you should do every day.
Die daily.
Take up the cross daily.
Crucify the flesh daily.
Take up the cross and follow him daily.
That happens every day.
It's not something that happens one time at salvation.
See salvation is not turning over a new leaf.
Salvation is not you turning away from sin.
And people say this, turn from sin to the Savior.
But wait a minute now, have you turned from sin?
Who can stand up and say I'm here from sin?
No one.
Message and it's confusing though.
Confusing.
You see there's nothing confusing about this.
That whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have eternal life.
There's nothing confusing about that.
There's nothing confusing about for by grace are you saved through faith.
And that not of yourselves it is the gift of God.
Not of works the sinning man should put us.
There's nothing confusing about for I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ
for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth.
To the Jew first and also to the Greek.
There's nothing confusing about that.
There's nothing confusing about whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.
And everyone that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.
There's nothing confusing about whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the son of God.
God dwelleth in him and he in God.
There's nothing confusing about the fact that the Bible says, "What must I do to be saved?"
And the answer is, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved in my house."
See, there's nothing confusing about he that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life.
But he that believeth not the Son shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him.
It's nothing confusing about John 6, 47, "Verily, verily, I say to you, he that believeth on me hath everlasting life."
There's nothing confusing about Jesus saying unto her, "I am the resurrection and the life."
"He that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth, and believeth in me, shall never die."
There's nothing confusing about "Verily, verily, I say to you, he that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me,"
"Hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life."
There's nothing confusing about salvation when he said, "But to him that worketh not,"
"But believeth on him that justifies the ungodliest faith, discounted for righteousness."
There's nothing confusing about the Gospel. There's nothing confusing about salvation.
But the reason people are confused is because they're getting a mixed message.
They haven't turned repentance unto life, the Bible speaks.
They're still in their sins if they haven't repented.
I don't even know what Lordship salvation is, but it's apparently I'm saying you've got to repent.
You've got to repent what you do, but it's not works.
