The simplicity of the Gospel preached by free grace teachers like Ono, Gregg Jackson, Petra Renatus and David Benjamin (and others) set me free as a 49-yr born again (when I was 8, but I was in the Catholic Church, then off to other cults my whole life) just 3 months ago. My whole life was plagued with losing my salvation and now I am FREE bc I am HIS forever. Now to unlearn 49 years of lies. It can only be done by the washing of the Word!!
@@catherinegray1367 wow, praise God!!! His yoke is EASY and His burden is LIGHT sister 🤍🤍🤍 may you continue to grow in grace. Praying for you right now
@@antonkoivisto2999 I've tried their spirits. They've proven faithful. May you get saved by the atoning finished work of Christ, and may you get wisdom. Blessings!
I want to thank you Mr. Diamante. I was lied to, but helped me realize the truth and now I have faith and I trust in the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. God bless you and everyone you know 😊✝️
True, if a 'christian' said that he never sin in week or more then the truth is not in him and he's a liar for all has sinned and come short on the Glory of God.
@@luckypoe9904 yes works based people are detrimental to the body of Christ and hurt believers and non believers. Telling someone they have to work their way into heaven is not a sign of gods love at all. It contradicts Jesus whole death and resurrection
Jesus paid for it all. I don't deserve his love or forgiveness but I have his love and forgiveness through his finished work on the cross. He bore my sins and punishment so it's his righteousness in me.
God wants me to know I am saved. What a blessed truth! Sure beats trusting in myself to not sin, and constantly letting myself down. Sure beats a life of constant fear! I can know I am going to heaven. Praise God
I've been really struggling to rely on Jesus rather than my own works, and this video is so so encouraging to help me remember what is actually important, and that is Christ alone 💚🙏
I always cry when i think of how sad God was watching jesus get beaten so badly and crucified. He really loves us. I know i have let him down and i am so thankful he loves me🙏🙏❤️
Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand. (Isaiah 53:10) Make no mistake, the crucifixion is an awful sight from our perspective, the pain and suffering that must've been felt from our Lord and savior Christ Jesus. But the Holy Son of God willingly took this position from eternity past that He may bear our sins and that we may be seen as righteous before God. It may be a hard saying, but it pleased that Father to crush His Son. Use this as an opportunity to bring glory to Christ, and the work that He has done. God manifest in the flesh, as a propitiation for man's sin. Not only the high priest offering a sacrifice on behalf of his people, but the spotless lamb himself. The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:29) Jesus Christ, the Holy Son of God, God in the flesh, is the perfect perpetration of mans sin against God. A work that was completed once and for all. The fact that Christ willingly took this position shows the love of our God. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10) There are many aspects about God that may be confusing to us as finite beings, but his love is pure and goes beyond what any of us can bring to the table. Brothers and sisters in Christ, let us bring glory to the living God, and pray that the gospel may work it's way to all individuals of the world, every tribe, tongue, and nation. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16) I hope you do not see this as slanderous, but rather a loving attempt to help you see the glory of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
Exactly people think if u some how stop sinning your saved but if you break one you break all!! If you committed one sin u deserve hell and believing in Jesus is the only way to cancel out that debt
@@discoveringidentity.7090 Yeah, I don't understand why people really push the "stop sinning" thing. It's impossible, the bible even tells you that those who say they have no sin are liars. Continual sin doesn't send you to hell, the first sin you ever committed sends you to hell because that first trangression broke all the law. I sin everyday, and while I try, I will never be able to stop sinning in this life because I am still here in the flesh. The only main reason that I've figured out why people like to push the 'stop sinning' thing is because they have pride in themselves and think they are better than other people because they 'don't sin' (which is BS). They're caught up in pride, and as we all know, pride leads to destruction. That's why it's so hard to accept the fact you can do nothing to earn heaven, the work was already done for you. But people don't like that, they want to feel like they 'earned' heaven and feel better than other people. But I am no greater or worse than a serial killer or rapist because we all have sinned. In the eyes of God, we're all guilty. I am equally deserving hell as the next person. Imagine being in court for murder, but then you go "But look, I did all these great works and I donated to charity and I changed my behavior! I am kind to everyone now! My charge should be dropped!" Nope, you're still guilty of murder. GL trying to do this at the judgement seat of Christ.
I was led down the Hebrew roots movement and was convinced the law was my only future. I now know different from simply reading myself. It made so much more sense! So grateful ❤️

@@mctrigga9792imagine having eternal life for like 2 minutes then losing it cause you sinned. What kinda eternal is that. You need to question the “gospel” you believe man
@@mctrigga9792 Are you ignoring all these responses to you? Didn't you listen to this video? You, are STILL trusting in YOURSELF if you think you have to do something in order to keep your salvation. You have obviously believed in a false gospel of works-righteousness obedience works for proof of salvation so-called. Which is called Lordship salvation. It is a false doctrine and false gospel. Leave it and whoever you are listening to that taught you it. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ alone through his shed blood atonement alone for salvation. Period!
i thought for the longest time that repent meant turn from sin 😣 so that means i’ve told the gospel wrong countless times. but thank you, Onorato, for teaching and helping me realize that its a work and that I misinterpreted God’s word due to Ray Comfort. now i’ve been spreading the gospel correctly now by telling others you’re saved by faith alone in Jesus :) God bless you!
@@OnoDiamante Good brother, can you explain Hebrews 2 about how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation ? Hebrews is written to saved people. Thanks.
Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Acts 2:38
@Paramenon Acts 10:43-44 King James Version 43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins. 44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. Acts 11 kjv And he shewed us how he had seen an angel in his house, which stood and said unto him, Send men to Joppa, and call for Simon, whose surname is Peter; 14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou and all thy house shall be saved. 15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning. 16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jesus Christ; what was I, that I could withstand God?
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,” Ephesians 1:13 KJV
FINALLY.. a breath of fresh air you are sir. I've been preaching this for years to anyone who'd hear it. You TRULY get it.. my hat's off to you and may God bless you and yours and all you reach 🙏
As someone who suffers from ADHD, I had to comment to say that the way you talk, I understand perfectly. The way you speak each word and how you are straight to the point - it really helps me. This is only the second video I have watched from you, I expect that I will be watching a lot more in the future. Thank you sir!
I've been tortured with this question my entire life, especially the last two months. Literally at this exact moment I know exactly where I am going. Jesus is the only thing that is saving me. Thank you Ono so so much and Thank Jesus for this glorious gift. God Bless you All.
MY KJV BIBLE SAYS THAT IF THOU SHALT CONFESS WITH THY MOUTH face-blue-smiling Romans 10:9-10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
NeedGod eased me away from "repent from sins to be saved" and Lordship salvation, then I found Theocast, and now your channel. 12 years of doubts, depression and beating myself up, for thinking I'm not doing enough to be "really" saved, down the drain. Thank the wonderful Lord!!! Maybe I really was saved at 10 years old, that day in Sunday School. I've been thinking I was a false Christian in my youth (when I'd go clubbing whilst believing in Jesus for my salvation), and only got saved for real when I repented 12 years ago and started going to church. What a journey life is! How patient God has been with me!!!
Finally! A Christian channel that accurately and precisely communicates the gospel, making it crystal clear to the unbeliever. Thank you. We don’t deserve it. We can’t earn it. We can’t work for it. Christ shouted “tetelestai”, translated to IT IS FINISHED! SALVATION IS COMPLETED. The God-man purchased your salvation on the cross in full. You can’t even leave a tip. Therefore, the issue is no longer about sin. It’s about your own volition - your attitude towards Christ determines your eternal future. You can receive Christ as your Savior today by trusting in him, by accepting his work on your behalf, in just a moment in time, and salvation is yours!
@@arckmage5218 YES!!! As a Christian, the only potential you have in losing anything is eternal rewards, NOT salvation. So forsaking your faith after a few years or even the next hour, does not break your permanent union with Christ. It only makes you lose rewards.
@@arckmage5218 The Bible uses the analogy of being “born again” to God the Father. Just as a baby emerges from his mother’s womb a single time, so an unbeliever can only be born again spiritually, ONCE. Biologically, your father is and will always be your father. No circumstance and no failure of his child can change that… just as our Heavenly Father can never forsake his spiritual son. Principle: once a son, ALWAYS A SON. Eternal life and a relationship with Christ is permanent.
@@trevorhartman9411 explain to me Mark 9:42-50? In this Jesus himself says it's better to mutilate yourself than end up in hell fire due to your sin. There is a reason it's called the prodigal son. It's because he came back. Imagine if he didn't...
@@endtimesareuponus8930 Romans 4:5 “But to him that worketh not but believeth on him who justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness” We are called to believe in Jesus. That is biblical.
Sadly many people like Ray Comfort and John MacArthur and those who follow RC Sproul believe that your belief in Jesus is NOT ENOUGH. That you must keep working at retaining your salvation by your good deeds. Impossible.
@@ianbeck2840 I've watched a number of Ray Comfort's evangelism videos. I always hear him tell people to: 1) repent of--i.e., experience Godly sorrow for and turn away from--their sin; 2) place their trust in what Jesus did for us on the Cross; so, I sincerely ask: why is it that you (and others) say that Ray preaches a works-based salvation? Am I genuinely missing something? 🤔 I've seen only video clips of John MacArthur; so, not enough evidence is in for me to have much of an opinion on the general message that he preaches.
@@PrayingForTruthI have the exact same questions as well, so thanks for your comment. Ray seems completely consistent with biblical teachings-repent and God will reveal himself because of the faith that person has demonstrated (this example is a faith-based work, i.e. not a dead work such as a merely intellectual belief, is that correct?) Surely there has to be a work of faith when walking with Christ (and free will), rather than a simplistic and merely intellectual understanding of faith. I hope someone can help me understand because I am so confused! Thanks
@OnoratoDiamonte what do I do when I sin? Just thank God for his mercy and forgiveness? I know 1 John 1:9 is a salvation verse. So I'm just wanting to understand. I find myself in the habit still at Times telling God about my sins and then thanking him. I feel like I'm making Father upset because it isn't clicking with me for whatever reason and I just want to fully understand and not budge from it. I believe. I know I'm a sinner and I know I sin daily in word thought and deed. I also know I don't want to sin. Help me understand. Thanks.
@@XG0NZALES_ that’s why i said to love others, because God has loved us first. To forgive because He has forgiven us. We are saved by Grace through Faith.
I know that I will go to be with my father forever and the only reason I go to heaven is because of what Jesus did on the cross that he purchased my salvation with his blood
Jesus saved me in 2016, and I’ve read bible daily. You sir, were given to me to watch this by God. To remind me, to always read scripture to help me during my times in the valley. Thank you
Amen. I can not thank the Lord Jesus Christ enough for living the perfectly righteous life and yet paying the penalty for my sinful ways. I do not deserve His grace and His mercy. No, never. Now, because of Him, I can meet my heavenly Father at last. Hallelujah!
Finally, someone who explains exactly what the bible says and doesn't add anything to it. It clearly states that whosoever believeth in Jesus Christ should not perish, but have eternal life. Too many want to add nonsense like, oh you can't sin at all or you can lose your salvation and this and that and this can be frustrating to new Christians who want to learn the truth!
1 Corinthians 15:1-4 - believe that Jesus (1) died to pay for all your sins and (2) was buried and (3) was raised the third day for your justification. No works - Ephesians 2:8-9
Tysvm for this since 😢i have backslid and although I love Jesus i know He died for all of us and He will redeem me but my acceptance of His Grace has saved me!
"A partial obedience is insufficient, a PERFECT obedience is necessary. That PERFECT obedience was the ONLY work that saves us which was the life lived by Jesus Christ who died on the cross! Very well said Ono!! Thank you so much for these videos!!!
Thank you for this video. I really needed to hear this. I started crying about three quarters of the way through. Your video was a revelation to me. I had been doing works and trusting and Jesus. I am trusting ONLY Lord Jesus now! Thank you, sir!!!!!
Praise Jesus !!! Thank you Jesus !!! All the Glory to God you are simply awesome !! And thank you Onorato Diamante for preaching truth. God Bless you Bro !
I'm 55 and have been a Christian since 1991. And I can say you are 100% spot on. Keep up the great work. I love watching your videos for encouragement and I thank you and God bless you.
I have faith by believing on Christ death, burial, and resurrection for my salvation. Thanks for explaining this so clearly.😊 I am announcing that I am saved by Christs blood on the cross (I BELIEVE ) so😊 I am saved.
As Jesus said: "For my yoke is easy, and burden is light." I hope more people can see that the Word of God is complete, and that salvation is a free gift as God promises us. The first church I joined told all of us that we are saved not just "by grace through faith" but by "becoming a disciple, water baptism, attending church 5 days a week, giving up everything, hating your parents, friends, and non believers, and tithing us hundreds of dollars every month," even though regarding salvation the scripture obviously doesn't say the last part.
So clearly explained and to the point with scripture on screen. Great presentation! Very Helpful! Pr25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
Yes, you are saved because of God's grace through faith in Christ Jesus and doing good will be done afterwards but not to be saved but because you are already saved. To Him be the glory! Ephesians 2:8-10
AMEN! For a decade I was taught turn from your sins and pray this prayer, No! Jesus became sin for me that I might be made the righteousness of God in Him! Not whether I reform or not, but whether I believe or not! Ephesians 2:8 "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works lest any man should boast."!
discovered your channel a about week ago really helped me in strengthening my faith. even if i my feel doubts at times about my salvation because of certain sins i struggle with. i know because i already put my faith in jesus christ. i am saved, even if i second guess my self. jesus still has saved me forever more. you have a simple and to point way of explaining the gospel in a way that is easy to understand. must be a Gift from God for sure
@@OnoDiamante me personally i remember putting my faith in Christ when i was young about 7 or so years old. got baptised when i was 14. what made me sure of Christianity being true and strengthening my faith in Christ. was the dates of the gospels being so close to jesus death. thats what convinced me yeah this is true no matter what others may say about others religions. in others words growing in knowledge of the evidence of jesus christ helped me in grow in his grace so i could focus on spreading the gospel being a better representative for him with his help of course.
Ive shared this video to random channels on RU-vid that have huge channels! And on Christian channels to ensure that their not placing their faith in themselves and all in Jesus
The Word tells us that we are saved through FAITH, and not of ourselves; it’s The Gift of GOD not of works! So the very Faith that saves us comes from God. EVERYTHING about our salvation comes from Him! THANK YOU LORD JESUS FOR SAVING A WRETCH LIKE ME!!
Jesus Chrust is king forever and ever, sp thankful that I am svaed ny hid grace alone and that he diesnt leave us with thr law to completely kwep. Thank you Lord Jesus ✝️☝️
