I want to be an encouragement to this pastor and let him know that the Lord used this word to speak to me personally today. I am that person that constantly questions my salvation because of gross sins that happened after I got saved. I've been struggling for 20+ years with having assurance even though I know in my head the doctrines of salvation by faith alone and in Christ alone. This sermon brought a 43yo man to tears. I saved it in case I need to rehear it. Thank you for your service and I pray that you're blessed. Your brother in Christ, Marc.
ISN'T THAT SUCH A GIFT WHEN YOUR READY TO RECEIVE...I LISTEN TO PAUL HERE ONCE A WEEK AND GET SO MANY WORDS THAT I KNOW ARE FROM HOLY SPIRIT. I USE THESE WORDS AND TURN THEM INTO BEAUTIFUL STORIES, DEFINITION OF OUR LIVES, BASIC INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE LEAVING EARTH...BIBLE....GLORY BE TO FATHER, SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT!!!
What I learned from 2 corinthians 13 and self-examination! No, I am not good enough, holy enough, in the eyes of God almigthy, but he still accepts me because I accept him! God almigthy is such a beautiful and amazing spirit. Come as you are he says, he has come for sinners and yes, he wants to change people and their lives, getting people out of sin. Thank you God almigthy, your gift of salvation I will not doubt, nor will I allow grace to approve of sin in my life! In the name and blood of Jesus Christ, amen. Glory to God almigthy, hallelujah!

SO MANY GEMS of WISDOM to remember Pastor Paul! This is why ALL your past sermons should be saved/archived on your website! There's SO MUCH to learn- I keep listening to them over and over to remember!!!
I really struggled with feeling unworthy when I first came to know the Lord and I had MANY reasons to feel that way based on my past. I just cried out to God about it and he led me to Luke 7, I believe starting in verse 36. Then I went through your study in Galatians and my heart is so full now.. I don’t doubt my salvation at all. Never imagined I could know a love like Jesus ❤️ Thank you pastor for all your studies!
God put it in my heart to test my belief I was just so scared to do it to maybe face the fact that i didn't truly believe but i let go of all of that fear and examined myself and my heart and I feel like I can live in peace after knowing what changes I might have to make in my life thank you God for directing me to to this video and thanks for spreading the word of god to newcomers to jesus like me keep doing what you're doing blessings be to you and youre family in jesus name amen
Awesome. There are some things about myself for which i feel guilty and condemned, regardless of my baptism etc. I believe this is the holy spirit showing me what MUST change. Don't ignore that prodding. The voice of the enemy likes to comfort me, that i can continue this way knowing Christ has got me. But this is willful sin, and sin as a PRACTICE
Everyday I’m changing for the better I have given up my old ways I still struggle from time to time but everyday I’m learning something new. Thank you for your service
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today (November 3), 2 Corinthians 13:1-11 was the basis for our Sunday School Lesson of the Day. It was entitled "Faith That Is Tested." There are two hymns that compliment this Scripture. They are as follows: "Let Us Ever Walk with Jesus," written by Sigismund von Birken (1626-1681) and "Come Down, O Love Divine," written by Bianco da Siena (died 1434) and translated by Richard F. Littledale (1833-1890). Corinth: the New York City/Las Vegas of the Bible. Agree or disagree? Feel free to reply.
It seems like doubt in your faith is proof in itself that you actually are saved. The unbeliever can't be tormented by something like this. Only the believer who wants to keep His word would be attacked by satan with these thoughts.
Hi Scott. I have no desire to throw stones or take jabs at anyone, and I am well aware that there are true believers in the Catholic Church. However, as a Bible teacher, I must be faithful to the Word of God to point out any feature or belief system of any group that chooses to deviate from the Word of God. God bless you!
I had an experience and now l am worried incase l have failed the test & about my salvation, if l write about it will you please reply to me? Catherine Taylor
