Salvation and Judgment
π Salvation is described as a free gift that cannot be taken back, implying that once received, it cannot be lost.
π Our sins are forgiven through Jesus’ sacrifice, but we will be judged for our service to God as Christians, highlighting the significance of our actions in this life.
π We will be judged by Jesus Christ at the judgment seat of Christ, not for our sins but for our service and what we did for the Lord.
π± The terror of the Lord is realizing how much we did for ourselves instead of Jesus and how much more we could have had.
β€οΈ True service to the Lord comes from a genuine love and desire to do anything and everything for Him.
π The speaker’s primary motivation for preaching and teaching is their love for the Lord, not for recognition or personal gain.
π “Look to yourselves and examine yourself…are you saved? If you’re not saved, you’re not going here, you’re going to go to another place because you reject that payment for your sins.”
π “Make sure you preach the right message of salvation which is through faith in the blood atonement of Christ.”
True Church and False Church
π‘ The doctrine of Christ is not just about Jesus coming in the flesh, but also about why he came – to die for our sins and be risen again.
π Anyone who is against the blood atonement of Jesus Christ is considered an antichrist and a deceiver.
π« The National Council of Churches (NCC) promoted ecumenicalism by uniting churches on doctrines they agreed on, but they threw out the belief in the blood of Christ for salvation, making it impossible for true Bible-believing Christians to join.
π The speaker contrasts the true church, which trusts in what Jesus did to save, with the false church that trusts in oneself to save oneself, emphasizing that salvation comes from faith in Jesus’s sacrifice.
