Grace, by one definition, means “undeserved kindness”. Think about that for a second. None of us deserve this kindness, this love, yet we receive it anyway. All you have to do is accept it and it will put you upon a rock that no wave could ever reach.

True, good analogy with the waves and rock as well... only after one accepts it, they must follow through with faith and works if they are to remain on that rock.

Exactly 💯. Professor John Lennox speaking FACTS 🔥. Christianity is different from other religions in how it's set apart by the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. AMEN 🙏 ❤️ 👊. New Atheism heralded by Richard Dawkins, Matt Dillahunty, Aaron Ra and others has failed and Michael Shermer is speaking nonsense clinging to questions rather than seeking answers. I've been wanting to study Euclidean mathematics as I'm a 24 year old Christian Apologist working as a teacher and counselor so yeah I see unhealthy information being spread through secular and religious beliefs in families and people all of the time which is why I don't always attend church because I'm studying The Bible alone in DA ZONE 😂. I've been watching Christian Apologetics videos since 2020 so these channels are really helpful especially on KZfaq and social media. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus.

@@cipherklosenuf9242 Wrong. If nothing else, we know that He wrote something in the dirt that made the Pharisees condemning an adulterous woman (wanting to stone her) to walk away peacefully. "Let he, who is without sin, cast the first stone." Aside from that, we actually have far more in the way of historical documents and manuscripts from eyewitnesses about the life, teachings and resurrection of Jesus (including from non-Christian, Roman sources) than we have for literally *any* other ancient historical figure (including any of the Roman emperors or even Alexander the Great). If you can't accept Jesus because of lack of papers penned directly by Him, then, to be intellectually honest, you'd have even *less* reason to believe in *any* other ancient historical figure (given that most of what we know was written about hundreds of years later; by people summarizing their own history books).

Though it's a long process of course to be better at that...but it's a true life changer. All of it, not only the forgiveness and grace but that's the start. ❤ People even have such issues with Genesis....yet it's still forgiveness and grace.

I was born in France, and grew up in a North African family, and unfortunately at the age of 21 I experienced Islam which really made me very bad, I had fallen into hatred of others. And following a journey that lasted more than 10 years through the different sects that exist in this religion (Ash'ari, Mu'tazilite etc etc), I finally succeeded, thanks to God, in freeing myself from this religion. after reading the holy gospels in which the figure of jesus christ really struck me.

❤ We shouldn't* want anything to do with sin. Aren't we all tempted at times? That's wanting to do sinful things, even if it's for the most brief moment...Just being real. God is good all the time. ❤ If we keep our spiritual armor maintained and etc then we have an easier time sticking straight on the path, but I think we all fail. I do agree though...it's about overwhelming desire to BE of good works and to know Jesus, to know YHWH and the Word. Conviction. When people choose to deliberately give into sin that can be a sign they aren't truly saved. Especially if they consistently do so vs study the word etc.

In one sense you are correct as at baptism our past sins are forgiven, and many call that being 'saved' as they are in a covenant, and good works are the fact of living by faith for salvation. OSAS is one way of looking at baptism. However having past sins forgiven is a promise not confirmed until those baptised die, those who backdlide into sin break the contract and give up their promise.

Food for thought: The point of Jesus waiting until a certain time to return is to give time for as many as possible to come to Him before that time (after which it will be too late). Right now, there are more people currently alive than the *combined* total of all people who have ever died!

Catholic here, and it is about grace. Goesfastandfar is not far off. The Catholic Church has never taught that we can be saved by works. The speaker’s analogy is misplaced as representative of Catholicism. We don’t work our way to heaven. That said, works definitely matter. Please don’t hold me to this but I believe scripture speaks about good deeds/works being accounted for at death some 10+ x’s? To me its only fitting in justice that in our bad deed, the vise of sin, we must repent. So too, in virtue of holiness, good deeds are required by the denial of self in action for love of God and neighbor. God knows our heart and our walk with Him. As a Catholic who is grateful to be moving deeper into the love of God and stronger faith, my desire to be more virtuous is growing and by his grace my sin will be lessened because grace perfects nature and He is perfecting me if I am willing to cooperate. May the grace of our Lord be poured into all of our hearts!

What exactly makes Christianity a religion and not a way of living a life of the Spirit with Christ Jesus, in God, is simply because a religion is observed with many different sets of rules and rituals. Whereas, being just a Believer makes fellowship easy and accessible with God the Father, in the name of Jesus Christ the Son, by the enabling power of the Holy Spirit. Not in or of works of any kind by you, but by simply standing on His finished work of salvation on the cross of Calvary.

I can hear my thoughts tell me it's not a big deal if I do it again for just 1 night to help calm myself, and to have a break, and that God will forgive me..but I also do not want to disappoint him, or myself, or my new Christian friends..

Dude tell a friend or family member about your drug addiction and to keep you accountable for your choices. Professor John Lennox speaking FACTS 🔥. Christianity is different from other religions in how it's set apart by the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. AMEN 🙏 ❤️ 👊. New Atheism heralded by Richard Dawkins, Matt Dillahunty, Aaron Ra and others has failed and Michael Shermer is speaking nonsense clinging to questions rather than seeking answers. I've been wanting to study Euclidean mathematics as I'm a 24 year old Christian Apologist working as a teacher and counselor so yeah I see unhealthy information being spread through secular and religious beliefs in families and people all of the time which is why I don't always attend church because I'm studying The Bible alone in DA ZONE 😂. I've been watching Christian Apologetics videos since 2020 so these channels are really helpful especially on KZfaq and social media. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality.

Ephesians 6:13-17 James 4:7 “Resist the devil and he will flee”! (I repeat this verse over and over out loud!) 1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” These are my go to verses when I am being spiritually attacked or tempted by evil thoughts.

You are saved by God through your faith in him. If you do your drug of choice again you are forgiven. Being that you are “struggling” with sin is already positive. You know it is wrong. The question is how to now stop. It’s hard - super hard! Pray on God as I will now for you as well, and if you feel as though you are succumbing to the desire to give in, I would call on your Christian friends instantly to pray for you. I would also make the decision go get as far away from the drug. Throw it our, break it, run away from it, whatever it takes for it to not be near. There’s a rule in nutrition coaching, that whatever is in the pantry will eventually be eaten. So do not let the drug “be in the pantry”. I hope this helps

Thank you, Dr Lennox for a brilliant and perfect explication of why Christianity is so very different from other religions. What better day to hear this than Pentecost Sunday, praise God. Thank you for posting this. In his human nature Jesus was sent into the world to redeem the world from sin, which first occurred in Eve then Adam. Then, the career of sin throughout the whole of human history as we can read in the Scriptures, and as we see in present times. It was the Divine Will, in whom Jesus participates, that sent Jesus into the world to redeem the world and the whole of humanity. We must understand, God knows everything; nothing is a surprise to God. Before God gave his fiat, yes, to the whole of creation as we know it. God knew the consequences of the fall of the angels and the fall of humanity. In other words, God knew that part of his creation of rational beings would, of their own free choice, rebel against the Goodness, Beauty and Truth of God. Even so, in God’s unimaginable Divine Mercy, God said Yes to Creation knowing that we would cause God, in Jesus Christ, unimaginable suffering. In the Divine Will there is neither past nor future, but everything is present. In His Divine nature Jesus placed Himself at the head of all generations, even before Adam and Eve were created, so that He, Jesus, might prepare in advance, before they would sin, the act of reparation to the Divine Majesty. The act of Reparation to Divine Majesty, showing the Greatness of God, is the Life, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Thus, we see the true nature of God; Divine Mercy is greater than Divine Justice. We too can say with St John, God is Love.

Sin is literally anything that is outside of, or opposed to, the nature and character of God Himself. God is literally the *source* of all that is "good" or wholesome. In one of His parables, Jesus compared Hell to Gehenna, the garbage dump outside of Jerusalem that was constantly on fire. Those who cannot accept Him, and His holy nature, are sent to the only place where He is not present. To force those who reject Him, and who cannot abide holiness, to remain in His presence for eternity would be unjust and cruel. Much of the actual suffering of those in Hell is simply a result of turning away from the source of all that is actually good (God). If the only thing left for them is ashes, that is not God's fault! He did, after all, pay for a way back to Him, should they not refuse it!

I mean yeah but he didn't have to address the thousands of religious beliefs and millions of gods in every religious belief. Professor John Lennox speaking FACTS 🔥. Christianity is different from other religions in how it's set apart by the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth. AMEN 🙏 ❤️ 👊. New Atheism heralded by Richard Dawkins, Matt Dillahunty, Aaron Ra and others has failed and Michael Shermer is speaking nonsense clinging to questions rather than seeking answers. I've been wanting to study Euclidean mathematics as I'm a 24 year old Christian Apologist working as a teacher and counselor so yeah I see unhealthy information being spread through secular and religious beliefs in families and people all of the time which is why I don't always attend church because I'm studying The Bible alone in DA ZONE 😂. I've been watching Christian Apologetics videos since 2020 so these channels are really helpful especially on KZfaq and social media. This has nothing to do with the video but please listen if you want to otherwise leave it alone and ignore it. Hello my name is Justin and I'm a fellow Christian and Apologist but I'm also a college graduate. I'm not a closed minded Theist as I have nothing against Atheists or unbelievers as I speak to them often to understand their reasons for unbelief but we as Christians are convinced of God's Existence due to many real factors). I'm not trying to convert anyone or convince anyone to become Christians as that's The Holy Spirit's job to help people believe but only explain why I believe in Jesus Christ. There's actually evidence of God's Existence in Christianity. First of all there's proof that Jesus of Nazareth existed in history since the writings of Tacitus, Josephus Flavius, Pliny the younger and other historical documents prove that He was living two thousand years ago that even scholars both religious and Atheists agree with historically speaking but not that He's The Divine Son of God because obviously they don't. I'm going to give you historical and archeological evidence for God's Existence as The Scriptures have prophecies that predate the events recorded in them by several millennia including Matthew, Hosea and Zechariah which prophesy accurately of the people of Israel becoming a nation again after over 1900 years of being scattered around the nations since the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem in 70 A.D. spoken of by Christ in Matthew 23:29-24:3 and returning to their homeland after The Holocaust with Jerusalem as their capital in 1948 exactly as Jesus The Christ said. The prophets including Daniel spoke of the time where several world empires would arise and fall including the Babylonian kingdom, Medes and Persians, Roman Empire, and Saladin and the Muslims which went in consecutive order for the past few millennia. The people of Israel becoming a nation after The Holocaust in 1948 (ironically the melting point of gold as God compares Israel to gold that's tested in fire in Zechariah 13:8 and Jeremiah 16:15) exactly how Jesus The Christ said would happen since God us everything to come in The Scriptures and not just because people were working towards as Atheists claim which are impossible for any regular man to predict. Just before anyone says Christianity is a white man's religion made to oppress blacks during slavery you obviously aren't aware that the first Christians were Jews in The Middle East and that Christianity just like any religion can be used by evil and corrupt people to oppress others but you forget that the first Abolitionists/Civil Rights activists were Christians who sought to abolish slavery, racism, segregation, injustice and prejudice throughout American history. Jesus The Christ loves you enough not to give you what we all deserve which is God's Wrath by His Own Blood. Charles Darwin didn't originally come up with The Theory of Evolution over 200 years ago as it is mentioned in the writings of Ancient Greeks who believed in Demons that gave knowledge to philosophers. Evolution makes no sense when nothing has evolved after thousands of years of human history and supposedly the first creature came from primordial sludge several millions of years ago funny how they won't believe that God an Eternal Almighty Spirit Being created us from the Earth) which came from a supermassive expansion of matter at high temperature that inexplicably created everything in the known universe that supposedly came from nothing billions of years ago. How did the organs evolve before there were bones, skin, substance and how did any creatures see before eyes evolved? I've studied evolution and abiogenesis in the past and read Darwin's " Origin of The Species" and I'm not convinced of macro Evolutionary biology whereas I accept micro Evolution like speciation and adaptation but not macro Evolution because there's no evidence of it nor clear observable examples of it where living creatures evolve into other kinds of species plus the fact that fossils don't show evidence of evolution and genetic entropy rules out evolution. The question begs how did two genders evolve from a common ancestor with a perfectly hospitable and sustainable environment with breathable oxygen and resources to survive on inexplicably? Atheists have the burden of proof to explain how everything came to be and why our existence is possible without the Existence of God from an godless perspective just as Christians have to provide evidence of God's Existence and the validity of His Word. Evolution requires life to already exist in order to take any effect in living organisms so it doesn't account for the existence of Life and reality. Also evolution is impossible because it goes against The Law of entropy and the second Law of thermodynamics because evolution makes things better whereas nothing continues to get better but decays and turns to absolute destruction in the end. Mark Ridley an Evolutionist said "No evolutionist whether gradualist or punctuationist uses the fossil record as evidence in favor of The Theory of Darwinian Evolution as opposed to special Creation". God's Existence is made perfectly known and observable in the universe as demonstrated in His Handiwork in the intelligently designed manner that Creation was made, human consciences and consciousness historical and archaeological evidence of God's Word being valid history, fulfillment of Bible Prophecies God in His Holiness and Righteousness could give us what we deserve in Hell for our since but He's merciful to give us free will to choose to accept or reject His gift of salvation by grace through faith in His Son Jesus.

My hold up was Mary, I could not imagine not having nightly prayers with her. LIke who am I to bother the big guy? One Good Friday, I was listening to a preacher and he prayed 'For those of us who need convicting, please convict us. At the moment I heard and saw the person of Christ and He said 'Free not, I am with you always' (Isaiah 40:10) I did not know that verse, but I do now. I changed that night. Its God, for sure, who changes a person's heart.

@KA-wu2kt I was raised catholic and went to catholic school for 5 years. I never once read the Bible as a catholic. My wife was protestant and I started going to her church and that's when I started reading the Bible and noticed many things the Bible said that were really different than what the catholic church taught. I definitely was a eye opener. I'm always going to believe scripture first over any tradition. God's word is not to be changed or compromised as it says in Revelation 22:18 19. I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll. If anyone adds anything to them God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life in the holy city.
