Hello everybody, it's me, it's Tall23 back with another video.
In this video I want to talk about, or actually no, this is a new series which was actually
suggested to me by somebody who, okay, the sound is working this time, because I just
previously did a stream where the sound was not working because my microphone was off.
So this was suggested by a person who watches my channel and in one of the videos I made
a couple weeks ago I asked, what videos do you want me to make?
And they said, a video series on law and grace and things like that.
So in this video series I want to address the subject, a subject which is very detailed
and important in the Bible, in fact it's the very foundation of the scriptures and the
main concern of God within his word, and that's the subject of salvation.
Now I've preached the gospel on this channel before, but the purpose of this series is
to go in depth specifically about the law and grace.
How do these two things relate?
What is God's grace and what does it mean for us?
How are we saved?
Why are we saved?
What is the relation of the law to our salvation?
Why is the law even put into place?
All these questions and many more will be answered in this video series.
So these videos are also meant to be an attack on the false prophets out there who preach
a false gospel and twist the gospel and corrupt the truth, but I'm not intending to play around
this time, I've made videos in the past about this subject where I've gone a little bit
into this subject and refuted false doctrine, but in this series I'm going to go into as
many scriptures as possible which defend the biblical truth of the gospel and go in depth
into every passage and verse to defend the true biblical gospel against the attacks of
Satan and the lies of the devil because the world has twisted the truth and put salvation
into a work your way to heaven type of deal.
They're really from those who were saved and who misunderstand the importance of grace
but who understand the importance of grace but who abuse the grace of God and they misunderstand
the purpose of God's salvation and that's something I'll talk about in this video series
as well.
So in this first video I want to define what is in the title of the video, the salvation
and grace.
What does the Bible say about these subjects, salvation and grace?
And these two words are both used quite often in the Bible, but what does it actually mean?
And first I want to talk about salvation.
First let's look at Matthew chapter 1, it says in Matthew chapter 1 verse 20 to 21,
But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in
a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee, marry thy wife,
for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shall call his name Jesus, for he shall save
his people from their sins.
So that's the definition of salvation.
The purpose of Christ coming to this earth is to save his people from their sins.
Salvation is the salvation from sin, and this is even what Jesus' name means.
The name Jesus is the anglicized form of the Greek Iesous, which is how it's written in
the Greek New Testament, which itself comes from the Hebrew name Yeshua, which is a word
that simply means salvation.
So the reason why Jesus is named Jesus is because he is our salvation.
That was the purpose of him coming into this world, to save us from our sins.
The Bible also says in Luke chapter 19 verse 10, for the son of man has come to seek and
to save that which is lost.
The Bible teaches us that Christ came to save that which is lost.
So if we compare this scripture to the account in Matthew chapter 1, we understand that sin
makes us lost.
It drives us off of the path to heaven.
Now sin is what Jesus came to save us from, but what is sin?
What is the definition of sin?
What does it do to us?
Why do we need salvation from it?
Is something that some people might be asking.
Well 1 John chapter 3 verse 4 defines sin as a transgression of the law.
Now God gave certain commandments in the law of Moses to his people in Exodus chapter 20
and throughout the rest of the first five books of the Bible.
And when one breaks one of these commandments, they are breaking God's law.
They are disobeying God and they are sinning.
Now remember Matthew 1 teaches that Jesus came to save us from our sins and Luke 19
teaches us that sin makes us lost.
So why do we need salvation from sin?
Can we just obey God's commandments and just resist sinning?
Can we just avoid sin?
You know, isn't that just a way to come to God?
Well the answer is simply no and here's the lie.
It says in 1 Samuel chapter 8 verse 46,
If they sin against thee, for there is no man that sinneth not.
And in Ecclesiastes 7 20 it says, for there is not a just man upon the earth that doeth
good and sinneth not.
So both of these passages in the Old Testament recognize the impossibility of man to resist
sin.
Both recognize that there's not a single man upon the earth who is sinless.
There's not a just man upon the earth that doeth good and sinneth not.
That means that I'm a sinner, that you're a sinner, that everybody who has ever lived
is a sinner.
They have transgressed God's commandments and this is why Jesus came to save us from
our sin.
He came to save the world from their sin because all men are sinners.
Now examine the following passages as well.
It says in Romans chapter 3 verse 10 to 18,
As it is written, there is none righteous, no, not one.
There's none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
They're all gone out of the way.
They are together become unprofitable.
There's none that doeth good, no, not one.
Their throat is an open sepulcher, with their tongues have they used as seed.
The poison of asps is under their lips, whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness.
Their feet are swift to shed blood, destruction and misery are in their ways, and the way
of peace have they not known.
There is no fear of God before their eyes.
Romans chapter 3 verse 23 says, For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
Jeremiah chapter 17 verse 9 says, The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately
wicked.
Who can know it?
And in 1 John 1 8 it says, If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and
the truth is not in us.
So according to all these passages, there's not a single person who is right in God's
eyes.
Romans chapter 3 teaches that we are become unprofitable and that we come short of the
glory of God.
So you see the God that we serve, the God of heaven and earth, the God who created all
things.
He's a holy and righteous God with a standard for what we should do.
Now God is without sin and we are with sin as fleshly men.
We are all unholy.
We've all come short of the standard which God has set.
Remember Jeremiah 17 it says that the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately
wicked.
That's just simply man's nature.
It's because of our heart.
It's a heart problem.
We are all inclined to sin.
Ephesians chapter 2 verse 3 says that we are by nature the children of wrath.
But why are things this way?
Well man is clearly evil in God's eyes and he's unable to resist sin because if we were
able to resist and if we were able to overcome the power of sin, we would at least expect
somebody on earth to go without sinning.
But the Bible tells us simply that there's not just man upon the earth to do with good
and sin is not.
Now the reason why mankind is like this is because of the temptation of the devil to
Adam the first man.
The Bible says in Romans chapter 5 verse 12 to 14, wherefore as by one man sin entered
to the world and death by sin and so death passed upon all men for that all have sinned
for until the law of sin was in the world but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses even over them that had not sinned after the
similitude of Adam's transgression who was the figure of him that is to come.
Now it was because of the transgression of that one single man, Adam, that sin entered
into the world.
It was because of his failure to obey God that he fell from the perfect nature that
God gave him in the garden of Eden.
It's said in Genesis 1 that all that which God created was good.
It was because of that that he brought death into the world.
Now God warned him, he commanded him to obey in Genesis chapter 2 verse 16 and 17.
It says and the Lord God commanded the man saying of every tree of the garden thou mayest
freely eat but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil thou shalt not eat of it
for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
And then it talks about the fall of man in Genesis chapter 3 verse 1 to 7.
It says now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God
had made and he said unto the woman yea hath God said you shall not eat of every tree of
the garden.
And the woman said unto the serpent we may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden
but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God has said you shall
not eat of it neither shall you touch it lest you die.
And the serpent said unto the woman you shall not truly die for God doth know that in the
day you eat thereof then your eyes shall be opened and you shall be as God's knowing good
and evil.
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food and that it was pleasant to the eyes
and a tree to be desired to make one wise she took of the fruit thereof and did eat
and gave also unto her husband with her and he did eat and the eyes of them both were
open and they knew that they were naked and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves
aprons.
So at first in Genesis chapter 2 God told Adam not to eat of the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil and even gave a reason not to he said because in doing so man shall surely
die.
However because of the temptation of the serpent which is revealed in the book of Revelation
to be Satan the devil Eve disobeyed God's command she took of the tree of the knowledge
of good and evil and gave it to Adam as well so that he could eat of it as well.
Satan told Eve you shall be as God's knowing good and evil.
So before then they were innocent again as it says in Genesis chapter 1 that when God
created man that it was good.
In Genesis chapter 3 it says that the eyes of both of them were open meaning that they
now knew both good and evil.
So from that point on they didn't just know good they didn't just know how to do righteousness
but they also knew how to do evil.
And because of this transgression of God's law death pass upon all men as it says in
Romans chapter 5.
Now we find in the Bible that the consequence of sin is indeed death it says in Ezekiel
chapter 18 verse 20 the soul that sinneth it shall die in Romans 6 23 it says for the
wages of sin is death.
Now a wage is something that you earn it's a payment so the result of sin is death that's
what you get from God.
Our holy sinless God simply cannot exist with sinners in his presence.
Now the result of our sin is clear that we will receive death.
We owe our lives to God that's the wages that we will earn.
This death exists in several ways.
It's not just through our fleshly death you know we're alive right now in the body that
our body will just die and that's it.
The scriptures that teach even though our flesh lives we are when we live in sin we
are spiritually dead.
It says in Romans chapter 7 verse 7 to 13 what shall we say then is the law sin God
forbid nay I had not known sin but by the law for I had not known lust except the law
had said thou shall not covet but sin taking occasion by the commandment wrought me all
manner of concupiscence for without the law sin was dead for I was alive without the law
once but when the commandment came sin revived and I died and the commandment which was ordained
to life I found to be unto death for sin taking occasion by the commandment deceived me and
by it slew me wherefore the law is holy and the commandment holy and just and good was
then that which is good made death unto me God forbid but sin that it might appear sin
working death in me by that which is good that sin by the commandment might become exceeding
sinful now Paul says I was alive without the sin once but when the commandment came sin
revived and I died so you see you see even though the lost think that they were alive
they are in reality dead inside they're dead spiritually because of their commitment to
sin because of the fact that they are in sin now you see since men are have by nature of the
knowledge of good and evil sin takes occasion by the commandment and slays us so what that means
that's what Paul says in verse 11 is that sin takes occasion by the commandment slays us that
we know the commandments of God we know that what we should do and what we shouldn't do but because
we have the knowledge of good and evil we know how to disobey the commandment because our heart
is deceitful it leads us into disobeying that commandment we know how to go against the will
of God the Bible also says in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 1 to 3 and you have the quicken who were
dead in trespasses and sins wherein a time pass he walked according to the course of this world
according the prince of the power of the air the spirit that now worketh in children of disobedience
among whom also we all had our conversation in time passing the list of our flesh fulfilling the
desires of the flesh and of the mind and we're by nature the children of wrath even as others so
before being made alive we were dead in trespasses and sins and we are by nature the children of wrath
it's not something that we can escape from it's our nature because of man's transgression the
Garden of Eden we fell from that gift of life in our sin it's not something we can simply escape
from all our sinners and therefore all deserve the punishment or the wage of sin which is death
now consider these verses as well in Romans chapter 8 verse 7 to 8 it says because the
carnal mind is enmity against God for it is not subject to the law of God neither indeed can be
so then they that are in the flesh cannot please God James chapter 2 verse 10 says for whosoever
shall keep the whole law and yet offended one point he is guilty of all and the first John 3
4 says whosoever committeth sin transgresseth although the law for sin is a transgression of
the law so the carnal mind which means fleshly mind that's what kernel means is unable to please
God it's simply impossible to please God with our flesh we cannot obey God's commandments in our
fleshly nature our nature is to not follow God it's instead to disobey him and therefore whenever
we break God's law whenever we transgress his commandments we die in our sin it doesn't matter
how many sins you do because the Bible says simply the soul that sinneth it shall die it
says if you offend in one point you're guilty at all so it doesn't matter if you're if you
don't commit adultery but if you lie you're still a sinner you still are dead in sin remember the
Bible teaches us that if we say we have no sin we deceive ourselves the truth is not in us so again
everybody has sin and thus everybody is guilty of breaking God's law and therefore everybody in the
flesh is dead in their sin it's the destiny of all sinners to face to face death but there's
unfortunately more to the story it's not just we're dead in our spirit and we are eventually
going to face the physical death of the body but also we're going to face what the Bible calls the
second death as well it says in Revelation chapter 20 verse 11 to 15 and I saw a great white throne
and him that sat on it from whose face the earth and the heaven flood away and there was found no
place for them and I saw the dead small and great same before God and the books were open and another
book was open which is the book of life and the dead were judged out of those things which were
written in the books according to their works and that C gave up the dead which are in it and death
and hell delivered up the dead which were in them and they were judged every man according to their
works and death and hell were cast in the lake of fire this is the second death and whosoever was
not found reading the book of life was cast into the lake of fire and then Revelation 21 8 says
but the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and sorcerers and
idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth the fire and brimstone
which is the second death so the Bible tells us that sinners will face the punishment of hell and
then those who end up going to hell will be given up from hell to be judged according to their works
by the one sitting on the throne which is Jesus Christ and that one day God Jesus Christ will
judge all those who died in their sin and because they're all guilty of breaking the law because
everybody who is dead in their sin is guilty of God's commandments they were breaking God's
commandments they will be thrown into what the Bible calls the lake of fire that's the second
death so there's the first death which is dying physically and then having a spirit go to hell
and then the second death which is being cast into the lake of fire now look at Revelation 21 8
which I just read it says clearly that all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth
the fire and brimstone now as I said before it doesn't matter if you if you've not committed
adultery if you've not committed murder or sorcery or idolatry if you lie or if you steal or if you
do anything you are still a sinner you're still guilty of all according to James chapter 2 verse
10 you still come short of the glory of God as it says in Romans 3 23 now our fleshly nature cannot
expect to come to God because of it because of the fact that it's just the nature that that it's
just enmity against God it says 1st Corinthians 15 50 now this I say brethren that flesh and
blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God neither death corruption inherit in corruption now there
are no stipulations it says flesh and blood cannot okay that means it's impossible to inherit
the kingdom of God flesh and blood only face one fate and that is death because the carnal mind is
enmity against God and it cannot please God it's simply impossible now that's the truth which is
very jarring it's very on sometimes it's difficult to wrap your mind around this and it's kind of
scary as well okay because there's a lot of rigid religions the world which teach us that the creator
ways are good works and it weighs our good and evil because they teach that well if it just
matters on how much good things you do and how many Commandments you obey but it's frightening
to understand that the scriptures teach us instead that God expects perfection that God's glory must
be to attain in order to escape the punishment of hell and death and hell and go to heaven but it
teaches us that this perfection is simply impossible because the flesh cannot please
God and because all has sinned and death has passed upon all men okay all means all it doesn't
mean some it means all everybody so what hope do we have right well that's where the salvation comes
in okay God has not abandoned us he knows about our sin he knows about our sinful condition he
knows that his creation which was created in the image of God in Genesis chapter 1 has fallen and
is unable to resist this power of sin but the Bible says in 1st John 4 14 and we have seen a
do testify that the father sent the son to be the Savior of the world so the son coming into this
world the reason why he came was to be our Savior and this son Jesus Christ was sent for that
purpose hey at the beginning of the video remember I read from Matthew 1 21 I'm gonna read it from
me read from it again it says and she shall bring forth a son of that shall call his name Jesus
for he shall save his people from their sins so the purpose of Jesus coming down onto this earth
was to save his people from their sins our sins which have which are inescapable by the power of
the flesh and something that all men are trapped in that's that men cannot simply escape because
we're by nature of the children wrath is escapable through the deliverance which is in Christ God had
promised the coming of a Savior for years past in the Old Testament and not only that he would send
a Savior but that he himself would come to save us so it's a God himself who's coming down on this
earth to save us it says in Isaiah chapter 35 verse 4 say to them that are of a fearful heart
be strong fear not behold your God will come with vengeance even God with a recompense he will come
and save you the Bible teaches clearly that Jesus Christ was God in the flesh that God literally
humbled himself and became a human being in order to bring us salvation it says in 1st Timothy 3 16
and without controversy great is the mystery of godliness God was manifest in the flesh justified
in the spirit scene of angels preaching of the Gentiles believed on in the world received up
into glory in John 1 1 it teaches and the beginning was the word and the word was with God the word
was God at John 1 14 it says and the word was made flesh and dwelt among among us so the word
which is God became flesh and he dwelt among human beings and it says and we beheld his glory the
glorious of the only begotten father full of grace and truth so the Word of God which in recording
Revelation 19 13 is Jesus Christ became flesh and dwelt among us so when Jesus Christ came down on
this earth he was God walking among men that's why he's called Emmanuel in Matthew 1 23 and also
Isaiah 7 14 which means God is with us and Philippians chapter 2 verse 5 to 7 it says
also Christ Jesus who being in the form of God and thought it not thought it not Robert to be equal
with God but made himself of no reputation and took upon him the form of a servant was made in
the likeness of men so Jesus was in the form of God he was equal with God even in his glory in
heaven even because even being the Holy Almighty God that he is Christ humbled himself and it came
down to be a fleshly man so he has the Creator became the creation so that he could save his
own creation from their own mistakes now you see going back to Romans 6 23 which I read earlier the
verse says the wages of sin is death but that's not the end of the verse it says after that but
the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord so we're all sinners because of
transgression death is ultimately the result it's always the result in the flesh but because it's
our nature to sin and therefore our nature to die however God has come down to give us eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord and salvation is synonymous with eternal life logically since
Christ came to save us from our sins saving us from our sins you know getting sin out of here
doing so will result in this and salvation from death as well first John 225 it says and this is
the promise that he hath promised us even eternal life so the question is how did God do it after
Christ was on this earth how could he have possible what could possibly done that could
have saved us from our sin the Bible gives the answer in 1st Corinthians 15 in this passage it
starts out by saying I declared unto you the gospel which I preached unto you now the word
gospel it means good good news or glad tidings as the Bible puts it what Paul writes in this passage
is indeed glad tidings something that we should rejoice over it says in 1st Corinthians 15 verse
1 to 4 moreover brethren I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you which you have
all which also also you have received and where and you stand by which also you're saved if you
keep a memory when I what I preached unto you unless you have believed in vain if I delivered
unto you first of all that which I also received how that Christ died for our sins according to the
scriptures and that he was buried and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures
so I want to first focus on the the aspect of the gospel which is declared here in 1st Corinthians
15 which says that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures okay the account
of his death by crucifixion is given in the gospel the four Gospels Matthew Mark Luke and John in
Matthew 27 Mark 15 Luke 23 and John 19 and all of those passages are pretty long and I'm not
gonna read all of them but it taught basically summarized Jesus Christ was put to death and by
crucifixion and it was the most brutal form of torture ever known to man crucifixion known to
historians as the most painful way to die Christ was beaten he was whipped he was spit on kicked
he was hit he was stripped down he was nailed to the cross they used nails through his hands and
through his feet to leave him on a cross and leave him to die but it's not just the fact that he just
died okay that's not just something that happened he died for a reason it was something he predicted
and something he was willing to face for that purpose for that reason 1st Corinthians 15 says
that he died for our sins it also says in Romans 5 verse 8 to 9 but God commandeth us love toward
us and that while we're at sinners Christ died for us much more than being now justified by his
blood we shall be saved from around through him so you see God died on the cross because he loved
us even though we're sinners even though we disobeyed him and transgressed him and his
commandments even though we're all wicked even though we're all unable to please God Christ died
for us so that means Christ died in place of us as a sacrifice because remember the Bible teaches
that the wages of sin is death so essentially by Christ dying for us he took her place as a
substitution it says in 1st Peter chapter 2 verse 21 to 24 for even here to where you call because
Christ also suffered for us leaving us an example that you should follow his steps who did no sin
neither was guile found at his mouth who when he was reviled or vowed not again when he'd suffered
he threatened not but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously who his self who his own
self bear our sins in his own body on the tree that we being dead to sins should live unto
righteousness by whose stripes you're healed so when Christ was on the cross when he was dying
by crucifixion it says that he bear our sins in his own body so that means that Christ who himself
was without sin according to verse 22 and also in Hebrews 4 15 he was on the cross to suffer the
punishment which we all as a human race deserved and he did so that we should live unto righteousness
even though we were dead he does this so that we can live unto righteousness this is the gospel
that God in his sinless perfection he humbled himself he came down in the form of a man and he
died without sin as all of our sins were laid upon him they were imputed to him Romans 5 goes
on to say in verse 14 and to 21 nevertheless death rain from Adam and Moses even over them that had
not sinned after the similitude of Adam's term of aggression who was a figure of him that was to
come but not as the offense so also as a free gift for if through the offense of one many be dead
much more the grace of God and the gift by grace which is by one man Jesus Christ hath abounded
unto many and not as it not and not as it was by one that sin so is the gift for the judgment was
by one to condemnation but the free gift is of many offenses under justification for if by one
man's offense death rain by one much much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the
gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one Jesus Christ therefore as by the offense of one
judgment one judgment came upon all men to condemnation even so by the righteousness of
one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life for as by one man's
disobedience talking about Adam many were made sinners so by the obedience of one shall many be
made righteous moreover the law entered that the offense might abound but where sin abounded grace
did much more abound that as sin hath rained unto death even so might grace reign through
righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord so sin rained over the human race because
of its power over us and we're unable to be justified through a flesh but thankfully the
gift of grace by one man Jesus Christ through the obedience of himself again he was without sin
brings us justification so our sins being placed upon Christ his death resulted in the clearing of
our sins from us the Bible says in Hebrews chapter 9 verse 11 and 14 or Christ be being come a high
priest of good things to come by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands that
is to say not of this building neither by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood
he entered in Watson to the holy place having obtained eternal redemption for us for if the
blood of bulls and of goats and the ashes of an high first sprinkling the unclean sanctified
through the purifying of flesh how much more shall the blood of Christ who through the eternal
spirit offered himself without spot to God purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living
God see we all owe a debt a debt to God because of our sin we transgress this command when God
demands obedience and holiness but that's simply impossible to come to obedience and holiness on
our own if we try to sacrifice animals or anything else like what God commanded the Israelites to do
in the Old Testament it would be worthless because those things are all perishable however Christ's
blood is not that's why the Bible tells us that by his own blood he obtained eternal redemption
for us okay it's by his own blood the blood that he shed upon his on the cross so the word
redemption it means to pay for a debt and thus purchase freedom that's what redemption means
and it's not something we could do ourselves we are slaves to sin our fleshly nature cannot pay
for our own sins because ultimately we'll still have that same sinful and wicked nature if we
turn from sin okay it doesn't matter if we turn from one sin we'll eventually go back to sin
anyway okay we're still guilty of our sins if we die we would end up in hell because of those sins
and thus we would get nowhere as well but Christ who was without sin offered himself so that his
blood could purge us of sins the Bible says in Galatians chapter 3 verse 13 Christ hath redeemed
us from the curse of the law being made a curse for us for his written curses everyone to hangeth
on a tree Ephesians chapter 1 verse 7 says in whom we have redemption through his blood the
forgiveness of sins according to the riches of his grace Colossians 1 14 says in whom we have
redemption through his blood even the forgiveness of sins and then in Acts 20 verse 28 it says take
he therefore unto yourselves into all the flock over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you
overseers to feed the Church of God with he hath purchased with his own blood so Christ paid that
debt that we owed and thus redeemed us through his blood and in doing so according to Ephesians
1 7 and Colossians 1 14 we have the forgiveness of sins so sin reigned from Adam to Moses according
to Romans 5 and because of the transgression of God's law death passed upon all men that's because
of that sin that we die but because of Christ shed blood which atones for our sins our sins are
forgiven okay his blood atones for our sins therefore our sins are forgiven they're paid
for by his precious blood now that's how we are saved from our sins Hebrews chapter 9 verse 22
says and almost all things are by the law purged with blood and without shedding of blood is no
remission Leviticus 17 11 for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul so if blood was
not shed that payment that we owe to God could never be made but Christ died in our place okay
we don't need our own bloodshed we don't need to die and go to hell we don't need to face that
punishment because because Christ the single Son of God he died in our place he did that for us he
shed his own blood okay so by his blood he redeemed us from the power of sin he purchased
purchased us he made us free from the inescapable bondage of sin and the sacrifice was also done
for the entire world that's another important point we should talk about all mankind has sinned
so all mankind needs a Savior and the Bible says clearly in Hebrews chapter 2 verse 9 but we see
Jesus who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death crowned with glory and
honor that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man first John chapter 2 verse 2
says and he is a propitiation for our sins and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole
world first Timothy 2 forces for there is one God and one mediator between God and man the man
Christ Jesus who gave himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time Titus chapter 2 verse
11 says for the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men so we also
see not only clearly that Jesus died but he died for everyone he died for every man for the sins of
the whole world for all for all men the scriptures show us that through Jesus Christ the gift of
salvation is offered to all mankind thus when the first Peter chapter 2 says that Christ bore our
sins in his body upon the tree it's telling us that Christ had the sins of the whole world he's
the propitiation now we know that after Christ died for the sins of the world he was dead he
was buried for three days and that he rose again that's another thing that we should talk about
okay going back to 1st Corinthians 15 where it talks about the gospel that was declared
unto other Corinthians he says that Christ died for our sin but then after that he talks about
Christ's resurrection now the Bible tells us in Romans chapter 8 verse 34 who is he that
condemneth is it is Christ that died yea rather that is risen again who is even at the right
hand of God who also maketh intercession for us Ephesians chapter 1 verse 20 to 21 says which he
wrought in Christ when he raised him from the dead and sent him at his own right hand in the heavenly
places far above all principality and power and might and Dominion and every name that is named
not only in this world but also in that which is to come so the resurrection is important because
it's the demonstration of the victory of Christ over death it says in 1st Corinthians 15 55 Oh
death where is thy sting Oh grave where is thy victory so Christ had victory over the power of
sin and thus death and being God in the flesh we was able to overcome the grave and to ascend to
the right hand of God God the Father or says that he makes intercession for us according to Romans
834 now with with this position as the king of the world and as also the high priest according
to the book of Hebrews are the one who makes intercession for us Christ offers us the gift
of God's grace in Revelation 22 17 it says and whosoever will let him take the water of life
freely so we can come to God freely without paying for it ourselves because Christ paid for it on the
cross or have a worry about earning our way to eternal life that's the offer of Christ this is
what he tells us in the last chapter of the Bible in Revelation 22 at whosoever will can take the
water of life freely Christ has opened up a way for us to escape from the bondage of sin and death
through his own blood now the next question should be does this mean that everybody is going to
heaven about everybody has eternal life okay because if that were so we would not have the
vision of the lake of fire in Revelation 20 and Revelation 21 where it tells us that those who
are sinners in God's eyes are going to end up and partake in the second death but those who
are saved have their sins forgiven and atoned for their debt is paid by the shed blood of Jesus
Christ so that God because it says in Psalm 103 that as far as the east is from the west God hath
removed our transgressions from us okay so those who are saved will never worry about death because
their sins are forgiven by God so what's the difference between the people who end up in the
lake of fire and the people who are saved the people who who are redeemed by the blood of
Christ why are our sins forgiven why are the same people's sins forgiven if Christ died for everybody
well the Bible says in Acts chapter 17 verse 30 at the times of this ignorance God went dead but
now commandeth all men everywhere to repent so this definition of repentance it's turning to God
in the context of this chapter in Acts 17 Paul is preaching to the Athenians who worshiped the
unknown God who worshiped idols and false gods and these these Athenians did and he's telling
them to turn away from trusting those false gods to trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ hey when one
makes a change of their mind to believe in God and believe in Christ believe on Christ that is
repentance now let's look into this concept more in depth the Bible says in Acts after 15 verse 11
well we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved even as they
Titus chapter 2 verse 11 says for the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all
men so according these verses we are saved by the grace of God by the grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ how the definition of grace itself is unmerited favor it's something that we don't earn
its kindness its mercy God is showing mercy to us even though we deserve sin he showed mercy to us
he showed grace to us we don't deserve salvation as the scriptures repeatedly show that we all
deserve the wages of sin that's death okay because we come short of the glory of God but
the Bible teaches in 1st John 4 10 Heron is loved not that we loved God but that he loved us and
sent his son to be the propitiation for our sins so we didn't love God we rejected him we reject
him by nature by nature we disobeyed him and we turned from him but regardless God still loved us
and he sent his son Jesus Christ to be our propitiation it says in Romans chapter 3 verse
23 to 24 for all have sinned and come short of the glory of God being justified freely by his
grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus and in Ephesians 2 5 it says even when
you're dead and sins have quickened us together with Christ for by grace are you saved so we were
made just we're justified that's what being made just is in the eyes of God by God's grace and
that grace comes through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus so without grace without the
kindness and the mercy of God we cannot be saved okay that's the only way that we can come to
salvation God could have showed us no mercy he could have just made it strictly that we needed
to obey him and all of his points but of course that's impossible we couldn't have done that if
that were so absolutely nobody would escape death and hell so the only way we can come to salvation
is by God's grace God knew this God knew that everybody would ultimately face death without his
grace and thus he saved us he saved us from the power of the sin with his own power which is far
greater than that and our salvation which is by grace comes simply by one thing so how does God
give us this grace why why should he give us mercy how are we saved well the Bible says that we are
saved by our faith by our belief it says in Romans chapter 1 verse 16 for I am not ashamed of the
gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth to the Jew
first and also to the Greek Romans 3 25 to 28 says whom God has set forth to be a propitiation
through faith in his blood to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that
are passed through the forbearance of God to declare I say at this time his righteousness
that he might be just and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus where is boasting that
is excluded by what law of works neighbor by the law of faith therefore we conclude that a man is
justified by faith without the deeds of the law so the gospel that Christ died for our sins was
buried and rose again is powerful and it's able to save us who believe that's the difference between
us who are saved and those who go to hell that we trust in Christ we trust in what he's already
done now Romans 3 it says that God set Christ to be a propitiation through faith in his blood the
word propitiation means to make peace with okay to settle a debt to obtain mercy and that's that
comes through faith in his blood okay one who rests in the trust that Jesus paid for our sins
is justified okay one who knows that and they believe that and they put their trust in Christ
they're not trusting in themselves they're not trusting in their flesh they're trusting in
Christ their sins are forgiven now only one place in the Bible is the question directly asked what
must I do to be saved and the answer is given simply in Acts chapter 30 or acts after 16 rather
verse 31 and they said believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved and thy house so
that's all we need to do now in the book of Romans it also says in verse 9 that if thou shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus shall believe in thine heart that God hath risen of the dead thou
shalt be saved now neither of these scriptures tells us that there is any other requirement for
salvation it says thou shalt be saved it doesn't say thou might be saved depending on what good
works you do or what sins you don't do or whether or not you're baptized you go to church or
things like that no it says that thou shalt be saved faith has always been the answer faith in
God and not in yourself or in any other work or a good thing or anything else or any other God or
anything like that that's what repentance is turning to God and trusting in him when it says
in Acts chapter 17 verse 30 God commandeth all men everywhere to repent what is commanding them
to do is that what is commanding us to do all men is to turn from everything else to God okay and to
trust in him alone to save us now the Bible says in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 to 9 for by grace
are you saved through faith and that none of yourselves is a gift of God not of works listening
men should boast so we're saved by grace again meaning the kindness of kindness the mercy and
kindness of God through faith so the grace of God is richly bestowed onto all those who trust in God
as their Savior and in his finished work upon the cross now it should be emphasized according to
this verse here in Ephesians that the gift of God is salvation since it's salvation from sin
it's also salvation from death as pointed out earlier Romans 6 23 the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord so in the last verse it tells us that salvation is the gift of
God because these two these two verses are very similar so when we believe God counts us as
righteous because the blood of Christ washes away our sin our sins are forgiven meaning that death
the wages sin is no longer something we have to fear therefore salvation and everlasting life
they're the same thing because like I said both of these verses talk about how we're saved as the
gift of God and Romans 6 23 says eternal life and this one it says saved both of them it says the
gift of God because that's the same thing eternal life and salvation John 3 16 says for God so loved
the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but
have everlasting life John 3 36 says he that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life he
that believeth not the Son shall not see life but the wrath of God abideth on him John 6 40 says and
this is the will of him that sent me that every one which seeeth the Son and believeth on him may
have everlasting life and I will raise him up at the last day John 6 47 says verily verily I say
unto you he that believeth on me hath everlasting life John chapter 11 verse 25 the 26 says Jesus
said unto her I am the resurrection 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 believeth thou this so Christ
himself testified over and over again during his ministry he promised that if we believe on him
okay we have everlasting life in John 11 particularly he says though he were dead yet shall
he live and he says whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die so in Ephesians 2 1 it says
you hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins now the word quickened means to make alive
so thus the moment that we believe Christ already bestows to us the gift of everlasting life
remember we're dead spiritually when we sin but Christ quickens us when we are dead in our sins
the moment that we believe okay in John 6 47 Jesus says he that believeth on me hath everlasting
life okay this isn't a promise for a future gift it's not a future time when Jesus gives you this
salvation when you place your trust in Christ you are justified your sins are forgiven and
therefore you're no longer dead to sin in Galatians 2 16 it says knowing that a man is not justified
by the works law but by the faith of Jesus Christ even we have believed in Jesus Christ that we
might be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the law for by the works of the
law shall no flesh be justified again that's another great passage which shows a very simple
truth that we are justified and we're made just in the eyes of the Lord simply through the faith
of Jesus Christ if you have faith you're justified therefore you have eternal life Romans chapter 4
verse 5 to 8 says but to him that worketh not but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly his
faith is counted for righteousness even as David also described it the blessedness of the man unto
whom God impudeth righteousness without works saying blessed are they whose iniquities are
forgiven and his sins are covered blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin so our
iniquities are forgiven our sins are covered and as I said as it says we will not have our sin
imputed to us now the word impute is the and the word amputate have the same Latin root while
amputate means to cut off impute is the opposite of that means to put on so amputates cut off
impute is to put on remember that that's a good way to remember what impute means okay since our
sins are instead imputed to Christ according to 1st Peter 2 he was indeed paying the death penalty
for us okay our sins were put on to him he was not guilty yet he was reckoned as guilty and by
redeeming us if we believe on Christ it says that it it is counted for righteousness that our faith
is counted for righteousness meaning that even though we're not right okay God views us as
righteous so in God's eyes the saved or righteous okay they are saved from their sins that's again
equivalent with forgiven of their sins okay even though they may still sin in the flesh they are
viewed as righteous in God's eyes instead of putting on sin we put on the righteousness of
Christ says in 2nd Corinthians 5 21 for he hath made him to be sin for us who knew no sin that
we might be made the righteousness of God in him okay so again that we put on the righteousness of
God by our faith in Jesus Christ that's the sin is not imputed to us but instead righteousness
of God is imputed to us we are viewed as righteous in God's eyes now I want to focus next on the fact
and if it wasn't clear already that this is all about Christ himself all the verses that I've
read so far show us that it's not just faith but faith of Christ that you have to believe on the
Lord Jesus Christ because without Jesus Christ himself there is no salvation it says in Acts
chapter 4 verse 12 neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name none
another name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved that's the name under heaven
whereby we must be saved Jesus okay any other attempts to come to God will fail it is only
through the Son of God that we have everlasting life it says in 1st John 5 9 to 12 if we receive
the witness of men the witness of God is greater for this is the witness of God which he hath
testified of his son he that believeth on the Son of God hath a witness in himself he that believeth
not God hath made him a liar because he believeth not the record that God gave the Son and this is
the record that God hath given to us eternal life and this life is in his Son he that hath the Son
hath life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life so the record that we are to believe
hold on my notes got messed up here okay the record that we believe the gospel that's the
gift of God okay it's eternal life through his son without the Son of God there's no eternal life
it says he that hath the Son hath life he that hath not the Son of God hath not like meaning if
you don't have the Son of God if you don't have Jesus if it's not through Jesus then you're not
saved you don't have everlasting life it's only by trusting in him and him alone that we can be
saved from our sins because he's the one that died on the cross he's the one that paid for our sins
and when we do believe we are given everlasting life so I mean simply that it lasts forever
everlasting life I want to talk about that now okay see in Romans 4 it says that the Lord will
not impute sin to us it doesn't say the Lord has not imputed sin to us but he will in the future
or something like that it says the Lord will not impute sin to us it doesn't say he might okay we
are promised by God that sin is no longer imputed we are promised that we are passed from death unto
life in John 5 24 and that we are quickened by Christ God does this in such a fascinating way
also the scriptures say in John chapter 1 verse 12 to 13 but as many as received him to them gave
me power to become the sons of God even to them that believe on his name which are born not of
blood nor the wills of flesh nor the will of men but of God so you see those who don't believe in
Christ are called by nature the children of wrath okay we are not the sons of God until we believe
in Christ so somebody who was saved they they are a child of God okay when they believe in Christ it
says that they are not born of anything not of blood not of by the will of the flesh not by the
will of man but they are born of God Jesus makes clear what this means in his conversation with
Nicodemus in John chapter 3 verse 3 to 6 he says Jesus answered and said unto him verily verily I
say unto thee except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God Nicodemus saith unto him
how can a man be born when he is old can he enter the second time to his mother's womb and be born
Jesus answered verily verily I say unto thee except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot
enter into the kingdom of God that which is born of the flesh is flesh and that which is born of
the Spirit is spirit so another term for salvation besides being saved having eternal life is being
born again okay we were born once in the flesh but remember according to 1st Corinthians 1550
it says that the flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God and also says that the flesh
cannot please God in Romans chapter 8 it's wicked by nature when we sin is it the flesh that dies
no it's the spirit that dies okay remember we were dead in trespasses and sin now just because it
says we were dead doesn't mean that our flesh is actually dead obviously if our flesh was dead we
wouldn't be here right now okay Ezekiel chapter 18 verse 20 it says that the soul that sinneth it
shall die it's the soul it's not the body one is obviously not physically dead by their sin so it's
not the flesh which is born again but the spirit Jesus says that which is born of the Spirit is
spirit now being born again is a change that takes place within us God quickens us and thus
he gives us new life to our spirit in doing so we are given the Holy Spirit to dwell within us it
says in Ephesians chapter 1 verse 12 to 14 that we should be to the praise of his glory who first
trusted in Christ in whom he also trusted after that you heard the word of truth the gospel of
your salvation and whom also after that you believed you were sealed with that Holy Spirit
of promise which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchase possession
unto the praise of his glory Ephesians chapter 4 verse 30 says and grieve not the Holy Spirit
of God whereby you're sealed unto the day of redemption so both of these passage passages
use a very clear term and that is the word seal okay we are born again and the Holy Spirit is
placed in our hearts so that we are sealed unto the day of redemption which would be the return
of Christ when we are given a perfect body which also can live and serve God now in case these
scriptures aren't clear enough let's see what else the Bible says it says in John chapter 14
verse 16 to 17 and I will pray the father and he shall give you another comforter that he may
abide with you forever even the Spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him
not neither knoweth him but you know him for he dwelleth with you and shall be in you Jesus
promises that the comforter the Spirit of truth abides with us forever now it's the same as God's
promise in Hebrews chapter 13 verse 5 he says I will never leave thee nor forsake thee not I
might leave thee I will never leave thee nor forsake thee so we need to understand that being
born again and given everlasting life truly is what that what it says everlasting meaning it's
last forever it's very simple John chapter 3 verse 18 says he that believeth on and is not condemned
well he that believeth not is condemned already because he hath not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God John 5 24 says verily verily I say unto you he that heareth my word
and believeth on him that sent me hath everlasting light life and shall not come into condemnation
but his path from death unto life we aren't going to face the condemnation being faced with the
punishment of death is no longer a problem God has saved us from that he sealed us so that we
will never die remember Jesus said in John chapter 11 whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall
never die okay so if somebody says that if you can die once you have everlasting life that you
can still go to hell they're calling Jesus a liar okay it's not complicated never means never okay
if you trust in Christ you will never die you will never know what death is because of the fact that
you will never go to hell that means that spiritually you will not die you are not dead
anymore and you will not face the second death in the lake of fire as well you are redeemed John
chapter 6 verse 38 to 40 Jesus says for I came down from heaven not to do mine own will but the
will of him that sent me and this is the Father's will which hath sent me that of all which he hath
given me I should lose nothing but to raise it up again at the last day and this is the will of him
that sent me that everyone which seeth the Son and believeth on him may have everlasting life
and I will raise him up at the last day so God's will is that Jesus would lose nothing not some but
nothing Jesus will not lose any of us who believe but he says that everyone which seeth the Son and
believeth on him may have everlasting life and I will raise him up at the last day that's a
promise again that's a good news it's simple that Jesus has saved us that he has given us
everlasting life and that's a gift which lasts literally for eternity again it says in John
chapter 10 verse 28 to 29 and I give unto them eternal life and they shall never perish neither
shall any man pluck them out of my hand my father which gave them me is greater than all and no man
is able to pluck them out of my father's hand in Romans chapter 8 verse 35 to 39 it says who shall
separate us from the love of Christ shall tribulation or distress or persecution or
famine or nakedness or peril or sword as it is written for thy sake we are killed all the day
long we are counted as sheep for the slaughter nay and all these things we are more than conquerors
through him that loved us for I'm persuaded that neither death nor life nor angels nor principalities
nor powers nor things present nor things to come nor height nor depth nor any other creature shall
be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord so it's clear that
there's absolutely nothing that can separate us from the law of God Jesus promised us that we will
never perish he's given us all that we need to be saved from our sin and sealed to the day
redemption and that is through his blood that's what salvation is God has saved us from our sin
he's delivered it from us sin is no longer a problem in our lives it is not going to bring
us down to hell it's not going to bring us to death we have everlasting life if we believe in
him that's the only way to salvation to put our trust in Jesus Christ and what he did on that
cross that's what God's grace is that he has given us that so to summarize and conclude for this
video I'm just gonna go again into a conclusion about what the Bible says about this subject and
defining this concept of salvation and grace say that even though there are a lot of different
tenants to the gospel and reality there's a lot more even that I didn't address in this video
beneath the surface overall the gospel is pretty simple and that is mankind as their nature is
unable to obey God as a result every single human being is a sinner and come short of the glory of
God now because of this we are all dead in our sins and face the fate of death and hell however
God came down on human flesh Jesus Christ who died for our sins all of our sins being placed
on him imputed to him and his blood atone for our sins now he rose again three days later and now he
sits at the right hand of God making intercession for us all we need to do in order to be saved is
to trust in Christ and what he's already done on that cross and we are given God's grace the gift
of eternal life everybody who puts their faith in Christ is born again and becomes a child of God
so the Lord will never cast them out but they have everlasting life they have everlasting security
and the promise of going to heaven instead of hell so I hope that if you're watching this video right
now and you're not saved that you place your trust in Christ today and you get saved now for the rest
of you who are watching who are who will watch this in the future whenever this live stream is
done it will be posted as a normal video for the rest of you who've already made this decision I
hope you enjoyed this video because it's amazing how powerful the gospel truth really is now some
of these verses which I read today I never really well I guess I have read them before since I've
read through the Bible four times but I never really looked into them in depth or anything
like that but unfortunately even with all these verses and passages which make the salvation
message clear I know all the different points about the gospel especially the concept of sin
and why we can't come to salvation on our own there's a lot of scriptures about that it's
pretty clear it's pretty obvious and it's easier for us to understand since we're saved but there
are a lot of people out there who are too blinded to understand and that's what I'm going over in
the next video the subject of the heretics who twist the gospel in the modern age modern day
and age and who teach a false hope by salvation in works now there are people out there who did
what Paul warned about in Galatians 1 6 people who pervert the gospel of Christ and according
to that in that verse it says that let them be accursed so these false prophets these false
teachers who preach a false gospel who bring another gospel to what the Bible actually says
I'll go over that in the next video so thank you buddy for watching I hope you enjoyed the video
again and again if you are not saved please trust in Christ if you understand what the Bible says
if you understand the calling of God if the Holy Spirit is moving you is reproving your of your
sin and you understand that you're a sinner in need of a Savior then respond to that and put your
trust in Jesus Christ and call upon him that's all you need to do to be saved you don't need to
do anything else you don't need to do what any of the world says just do what the scripture says
what the Word of God has testified about salvation and the gospel so thank you buddy for watching and
goodbye
