The Importance of Following God’s Commandments and Living a Righteous Life
⛪️ Grace is not an excuse to sin, but a reminder to follow the commandments and do what is right according to the Bible.
💪 “Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” does not mean salvation is achieved through works alone, but rather it emphasizes the importance of living out the salvation that God has already worked within us.
📖 The speaker emphasizes the importance of following the commandments in the Bible without putting believers under a works-based salvation.
🤥 “He that saith, I know him and keepeth not his commandments is a liar and the truth is not in him.”
🙏 God desires for believers to serve Him, strive to avoid sin, and keep His commandments, emphasizing the importance of living a righteous life after salvation.
🌟 “We’re supposed to try to get away from evil, iniquity, sin, and not do wrong, but be a vessel for our Savior doing every good work.”
💪 As Christians, we are called to walk in the spirit and not be conformed to the desires of the flesh, emphasizing the need to resist worldly temptations.
The Power and Importance of Forgiveness
💔 Jesus teaches the importance of forgiveness by emphasizing that it should be limitless, extending beyond a specific number of times.
🙏 Jesus forgave us completely, so we are supposed to always forgive others, just as He did for us.
🙏 “Thankful for the blood of Jesus to forgive us of all sins and thankful that we have an advocate with the father that when we do sin thank God it’s forgiven.”
📖 “Jesus died for people that he probably didn’t even like okay but he loved them enough to die for him.”
Summary
TLDR: The key idea of the video is that salvation is through faith in Jesus, not works, and Christians are called to live a sinless lifestyle and follow God’s commandments.
- 📚 The speaker emphasizes that salvation is through the blood of Jesus, believers should strive to live a sinless lifestyle, and keeping the commandments comes after salvation, not as a means of salvation.
- 📚 Salvation is not based on works, but on faith in Jesus, and the idea that works are necessary for salvation is a misinterpretation of the Bible.
- 📖 We should forgive others unlimited times, as Christ has forgiven us, and we are no longer under the old testament law for salvation.
- 📚 The speaker argues that the Sabbath commandment in the Old Testament was specifically for the Jews and no longer applies to Christians today, as they are not required to enforce the punishment of death for Sabbath violations.
- 📜 The speaker explains that the commandments in 1 John 2:3 refer to Jesus’ commandments to the apostles and the church, not the old testament law, emphasizing the importance of following these commandments without imposing a works-based salvation.
- 📖 A Christian must live sinlessly and follow God’s commandments, imitating Jesus, and falsely representing oneself as a Christian is lying and not pleasing to God.
- 📖 Christians are called to follow Christ’s teachings, keep His commandments, and depart from sin, striving to please God and love others.
- 📖 Christians should love one another, live differently than before, and avoid sinful behaviors; it is important to show love for Christ and distance ourselves from those who do not live according to biblical principles.
