The MAIN Reason A Lot of Christians DOUBT Their Salvation! 

I know this is off topic, but here goes anyway: Anyone that is willing, could you please pray that the Lord heals me from heartburn issues? Thank you sincerely.

“You will never experience a perfect assurance when the basis of your assurance is imperfection, which is your behavior, your lifestyle, your works.”

A Christian isn't what you do, its what you are.

Jesus' last words before He died says it all "It is finished!" He did it all for us! We just receive the FREE GIFT by believing the gospel. Amen!

Amen brother 🙏🏻 I used to base the validity of my salvation on how I was or was not living my life and I doubted my salvation for nearly 20 years. But now I look to the Word of God and his promises as the proof of my salvation 🙌🏽

I never heard this teaching in church. Thank you for sharing the truth.

Could someone please pray for me...i really would appreciate it.

There are none righteous, no not one. Jesus Christ The Righteous is the way, the truth and the Life. And brought them out, and said, Sir's what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on The Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

We're are saved by Grace,A gift of God,Faith in Christ Jesus not of works less anyone boast, PARAPHRASING

If you are in God's grace you go to heaven 💫

What I find crazy is that most churches do not preach Christ alone. They claim they do, but most have some type of works involved. When you think about it, you realize because of the RCC most people who claimed to be Christians did not believe on Christ alone.

I pray to have full assurance, been struggling for yrs thinking im not really born again 😕

Very clearly explained. I remind my church of this regularly. Salvation and discipleship are two SEPARATE things. Thank you for this video.

Beautiful teaching keep preaching the Word 🎉

This man is such a blessing, thanks so much.

I need to listen to teaching like this often because I find it very difficult to believe I am saved. I have led such a sinful life but I truly believe in Jesus!

These have been precisely my questions as a theologian, and I have found no person whose view requires works in cooperation with the Spirit for salvation able to answer - how many or what quality defines sufficient works for salvation to be true or valid. Exactly. Your answer here is profoundly helpful - perfection is the standard and is that by which, in Christ, we may have security.

I am so glad that your videos came to my attention because I have watched maybe 10 times today and I have learned more today than 25 years of church attendance and TV and Radio pastors ! Suddenly I understand and what didn’t make sense this morning makes sense this evening! You have a great gift and I encourage you to keep going and be faithful with your gift because I have not been faithful more than once x 100000000 And it sucks to be in my own mind reliving the past failures and there’s nothing out there that is worth doing sin for a season so you just keep on running the race Your confidence clarity and quotation makes the Bible simplistic even for a person who’s always been about a year behind 🇨🇦😀

Amen brother❤ we get into heaven because the Lord's faithful not because of us. Ephesians 2:8-9

Spot on as usual Ono! I pray I find a church in my area that is clear on the message of the gospel.

If the blessed Apostle Paul could call himself the chief of sinners, and lesser than the least of Saints, then none of us has any business thinking we're any good

We will always doubt our salvation if we focus on our selves and how well we are doing or not, we must instead focus on what Chris achieved for us and His righteousness accounted to us, it is better than the righteousness of the Pharisees and the Scribes it is 100% nothing can be added to it but we serve Him with good works prepared for us to walk in not for salvation but because of our new disposition that He has born in us, we love Him and we love others and therefore we serve.

3:00 Been saying this in my mind since watching your videos glad you basically put it to words as well. Consider changing the channel name to salvation 101 because that's what this channel is! Amen!

Yep Exactly, Believers should take their assurance only from what God gave us to take for our assurance. It's His written guarantee of everlasting life to those who trust ( believe)only in the finished work of Christ for their salvation. John 3:36 is enough. He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life. Phooey on man-made subjective litmus tests that are made only to confuse the believer.

Amen 🙏 God Is Good 👍🏻 Always looking Towards Him 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 Is Good News

Accurate doctrine!!!

So true Ono. It's so simple just read Acts 16-30:31 Acts 16:30-31 King James Version 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Correct. We are saved by faith alone. Good works do not save, do not prove you are saved, or keep them saved. We do good works out of love for what He has done for us, not out of a requirement to be saved. There is no requirement to do good works to be saved. Period. Conflating service with salvation, as you say, creates confusion.

Just EXCELLENT explanation . No one can earn a gift let alone the gift of ETERNAL LIFE.

Lord bless you Brother. Exactly It's either we get into heaven because of our faithfulness or the Lord's faithfulness. The bible says Rom 10:9. Ephesians 2:8-9 Amen ❤

Amen 🙏 brother in our Lord Jesus Christ ✝️ God bless Thanks 😊 for rightly dividing service with salvation (Eternal Life).

I know that salvation is a free gift of God for what Jesus did on the cross. And I know works does not mean salvation. However, I feel bad that I have the ability to do very little works because I deal with extreme agoraphobia and panic attacks. My mind races sometimes and I can’t physically control the way my body acts. I want to get out and go places and tell people about Jesus. I want to go to church. I want to volunteer and help people who are struggling or the elderly that need help. But I can’t because of what I’m dealing with. I pray, I read the Bible, I watch church online. I pray. But yet I doubt my salvation because of what I am going through. It really messes with me sometimes and gives me more anxiety about my relationship with God sometimes. I take some medications but i am scared to take any new medication because I feel like i am putting my trust in the medicine and not God. Plus I’m just generally scared of crazy side effects. Anyhow, what do I do? I’m having a tough time. Prayers would be appreciated.

Faith ALONE in Christ saves!

Praise the Lord. Great teaching.

An amazing channel! Thanks, brother! Keep up the good work for God's glory!

I've about got all of that memorized Ono! Thanks for continuing to preach it!! 🙏 Ready for Jesus to come !

Such a great message.

This is why we must really read the Bible. The Bible is the only place that has the truth. I’m glad Oronato clarified John 6:40- the will of God-to believe on the son of God. The Bible explains itself in many places.

Important video, brother! God bless.

True brother 💛

God bless you, Brother.

Awesome video brother! Shared it. This is the truth. OnlyJesusSaves! TETELESTAI! May the Lord bless you, your family, and all the brothers and sisters in Christ. Much Love-Sarah

Thank you for your teachings ❤

" We are not SAVED on the basis of deeds done in righteousness, but by GRACE through FAITH" Apostle Paul

Exactly, people also get confused with the running the race verse that Paul wrote, there’s this guy in my bible studies that states you have to stay in the race, finish it. I am like dude Paul is mentioning the race of righteousness to receive rewards!

Thanks for another great message. Though whilst I place all my hope and faith in Christ alone, I still get the feeling from time to time, what if I am not really saved. It used to give me cold chills until I realised God could not lie. Therefore, I rest assured in His Word and not my fickle feelings. Thank you Jesus.

Amen

I love this man, preach the Great Word Sir 😭

100% correct!

Thankyou my brother for your teaching amen.

Im absolutely desperate to know this assurance. I understand the idea, but I just don't seem to get it. It's like I can't cross that line. I have no peace, no joy, and am gripped by the fear of death, I still consistently fail in blatant sin. I have begged God to save me from my sin and rescue me. I know scripture but I fail to understand something in it. I so desperately want to know for sure my salvation is sure and to walk with God daily.

Thank you.

Mr Ono, it would be great if everyone could have the revelation of their salvation as you have. The problem is .... millions of 'believers' dont. They beieve they are saved because they raised their hand during a good emotional deliverance service , felt warm n fuzzy for 2 weeks and then started doing the same old things. Then the same devil that tripped them up starts accusi g tnem. Thats their job n theyre good at it. The other group believes they are saved no matter what kind of life they live. Sooo... it is dangerous to base salvation by the proofs of your obedience but it is also dangerous to base salvation on that one moment when they 'think' they accepted the Lord and believed but dont live the life of christ. Salvation must be a Revelation directly from God to the individuals heart. Then the gates of Hell cannot prevail against that revelation.

Please do a video on revelation ch22: 18-19

God confirms our salvation and relationship with him. If you are a true born again Christian, then you should have no reason to doubt your salvation and relationship with God because God has confirmed it. I have never doubted my salvation and relationship with God since I because a Christian over thirty years ago. Such a thing hasn't been continued to be based upon faith either because when something gets confirmed you know it beyond all doubt.

We must come to Christ open without any preconceived ideas. We're to come to Christ with the open expectation of trusting him alone for our salvation as the Apostle Paul says in 1Cor.15:1-4, Eph.2:8,9, and that alone for salvation.

This is the real gospel being taught. 👍🏻

Amen ❤ Absolute Truth.

I wish I could find a church that preaches this way...

Good clear preaching!

🙏🙏

Does a saved person have fruit of the Spirit: love, joy, peace etc?

Could you pray for me? I've been struggling with once-saved-always-saved doctrine vs Jesus-plus-works salvation, back and forthright, for years. Lately it's been really anxiety producing because I really believe I'm a true Christian but truly unworthy and not living to my potential as a believer with lots of knowledge and little fruit, like the servant with several buried talents. According to one of those doctrine therefore I could lose salvation, so I really need to know, but no amount of researching seems to be helping.

Amen brother❤

When you said not to examine yourself/your works, it made me think of 2 Corinthians 13:5, where Paul says: "Examine yourselves, to see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not realize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?-unless indeed you fail to meet the test!" 2 Peter 1:10-11 possibly says the same or similar things. Curious your take on that...certainly possible that I'm not fully understanding the context in those verses. Thank you

GOD bless!

Its the flesh doubting salvation cause people need to believe they have to accomplish something to be saved. They need to feel as though they contributed to their salvation through their self righteousness.

OH YES I LIKE GOD JESUS WORD AND YOU KNOW THEM TO THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS

hey man! nice work, you should consider debating orthodox Christians and Catholics, they seem to not share your view afaik!

Doubt salvation? I've never thought about that. We have blessed assurance. the Bible says we can enter in to the Gods Throne of Grace through prayer, that we go boldly before the Lord in the highest of highest places in Heaven. With that said...doubt? No, I don't think so.

We are saved by grace alone and received alone through faith in Jesus Christ. No works are needed, nor can works ever add to the salvation we have received through faith. It’s also true to say that a changed heart/life, denial of self, and following Jesus Christ is evidence of your salvation to the world. Good works don’t prove salvation, but a true born again believer will have a different attitude towards sin and will seek to at least desire to please God over our flesh. And not by anything of ourselves, but because of the Holy Spirit dwelling in us. This feels like a middle ground of Free Grace and Lordship, which I think both focus so much on one end, they steer from talking about the other, unintentionally in most cases. Asking genuinely as I believe God has been helping me through the relation & differences in our changed lives and our salvation itself -> would you take issue to anything I said above?

Salvation='Enter the Kingdom of God' Born of water and Spirit which is an individual covenant between repentant sinner and Jesus. Salvation: John3:5=Acts2:38=Heb6:1-2=Titus3:3-7 Practical salvation: Acts 8:12-17, 10:44-48, 19:1-6 Titus 3:3-7 merge 'Salvation by Faith' with 'Salvation by Works' with 'Salvation by Grace'. Greetings from Sweden, Fritjof Persson

Man, in his pride.. does what HE wants to do.. what HE thinks is right.. what the traditions of man tell him to do.. and then justify themselves as righteous, believing they are doing what God desires them to do. You have to be brought to the point where you realize truthful statements: 1) You can do NOTHING.. you were born a sinner, and produce sin.. just as a tree produces fruit according to its kind. 2) It is the power of God that saves anybody, for God makes a bad tree good.. the tree cannot make itself anything other than what it is. 3) God is pure and doesn't need anything from you.. He simply desires to show mercy rather than judge us, as He has every right to. The kindness and goodness of God is something we cannot even comprehend, beyond a superficial understanding. 4) God prepared everything for your redemption and calls to all who would hear. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.. in the same pattern as those who believed when Moses lifted the bronze serpent in the wilderness and be saved.

Don't forget 1 John 3 : 23... And this is His commandment: that we should believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another, as He gave us commandment.

bars of faith and hoodie of drip🙏

We are saved by Jesus Christ our Lord and not ourselves. Matthew 7:22 is about false prophets, false brethren, fakes they didn't believe in Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus Is the Son of the Living God. Jesus was crucified and died for the sins of the world. Jesus was raised to Life by God. Jesus left the tomb. He was seen alive by Peter, the twelve, over 500 of the brethren at once, by James, all the Apostles, and last by Paul as one born out of due time. Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved.

Very good explained 💪

When I hear a women saysshe does OF content and say yes i am going to heaven because of Jesus, I believe this women. But when I hear a Christian say if your a real believer you wouldn't be doing that and start quoting scripture and say they aren't real Christians, in my mind I think you have no faith in christ but in yourself. When you really think about it how much more faith does this women have doing what she does and still believe she will go to heaven vs someone who thinks they must or not do something, as if there is anything they can do.

Colossians 2:6 AS ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, SO walk ye in him: How have you received Him??

1:41 onorato, is 1st John chapter 2 talks about signs of believers? please make a video about it. thank you

Please, could you do a video on the cessationists vs continuationists debate?

People will do anything to please another person, while at the same time trying to feel superior to him, often this syndrome applies to so-called "religious" people, meanwhile they are mere Pharisees who can't admit what a poor position they are in - as we all are - and only faith in Jeuss Christ saves us.

Study the whole Bible and you'll be grounded in the truth !!

Can you explain the sheep and the goats parable, thanks .

Onorato: I am all for OSAS, as Ive always been. Anything else is traumatizing. There are still a lot of Red Letters and other Scripture that creep me out, though. What gives?

My salvation is not based on what I can or can't do, if it were so, then my salvation would be of works. There's nothing that I can or can't do that will affect the security of my salvation in any way because my salvation was eternally secured even before the worlds were formed.

If you have the EVIDENCE of FAITH, you have eternal life.

❤❤❤

How do you define the word "seeth" the son is it relates to believeth on Him"?

How did you find a church that teaches the gospel truth? Do I go from church to church with a list of questions, so I will know if it is a safe church or not?

Faith plus nothing.

The Matthew 7 people: “Wait; how am I not saved? How can an unsaved person do all these good things that I’ve been doing?” Jesus: “I don’t know you, and never did. Every ‘good thing’ you did was not done by faith in Me, so they are lawlessness. See Hebrews 11:6.”

Amen🩸🚨🎺❤️‍🔥🙌

Gods will be done is Jesus Christ and Gods will is believing in Jesus Christ and his salvation for all who believe in him when this is not the message its not from the Lord it is a result of free will, Jesus Christ never debated he only revealed the truth and for the many who cant except the truth they debate and cause fear and confusion and doubt because of free will they trust in themselves and others instead of God, Jesus Christ alone is salvation and judgement is a result of him, trust in him alone for salvation , no one can explain what they don't know but everyone explains what they assume free will, the way the truth and the life amen

The bible says "he who has begun a good work in you will be faithful to finish it unto the day of the Lord Jesus Christ" whatever God starts he finishes then do you see God saying "oh I started saving that human and now ive changed my mind I think I will condemn them instead" yet bible says "therefore there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus" and "Its not in Gods will that any should perish" and as for sin "it is not I who sin but sin that dwells in me" and "if sin abounds grace abounds also" then this - Christians dont go to hell as long as they are not christian flavoured satanists aka satanists aka wolves in sheeps clothing. If you dont want to be a wolf in sheeps clothing and you really want to be saved and want to please God then you are more than likely saved . It is impossible to please God without faith bible says so and we are saved by faith not by the law Abels faith sacrifice offering pleased God whereas Cain's law abiding did not kill plant sacrifice offering did not please God and Cain zealous for the law and angry with his brother for murdering the animal sacrifice which was a kill not murder then made Cain commit murder which a correlation can be found from legalistic so called christians offering the law (plants) then wanting to kill christians salvations that are by faith(symbolic of Abels faith offering) by saying "you are not saved by faith" often these are angry enough to kill or at least condemn like Cain. You cant evangelise properly if you have not got Gods gift of salvation. Which it is a gift Gods precious amazing gift and if you tried evangelising this way "Id like to ask you if you would receive Christ and maybe be saved, because you could lose your salvation we dont really know" does that not sound stupid? So if you evangelise and you know that once you have recieved salvation you well and truely have it which is why its wonderful and an awesome gift then you can evangelise and see people come to Christ explaining that the gift is so good you can know you are saved.

Soul Purified Now in Christ's Blood ! Realize you are a sinner being sorry. Sin is lying, evil thoughts, lust,etc. Therefore, do not trust in your own works to go to heaven because you realize, being a sinner, you cannot offer the perfect blood sacrifice that God requires to pay for sin. Instead, believe, meaning fully trust, that in Christ's love for you, on the cross, His one perfect blood sacrifice, when Christ bled, suffered and died, in your place, paid for your sins in full, past, present and future ! Believe that Jesus rose from the dead ! Believe Jesus is God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore ! And believe that the sinless blood of Jesus Christ is what cleanses you from all sin, which purifies your soul ! Then the Lord Jesus will forgive you,save you from hell and give you eternal life ! And you will be sealed with the Holy Spirit who will dwell within you forever! And thank Jesus ! Rom.3:25,5:8,9,10:9, Is.53:5,6, II Cor.5:21, Ephes.1:7,13,4:30, Heb.10:14,38,39, I John 1:7, 5:7,13,20

How can i be sure if i am indwelt by Holy Spirit?

Why did Christ mention the sheeps works ..

I’ve heard some say you can be born again multiple times. (Ex. Falling into sin or having a “bad heart” which causes one to want to have a fresh restart and be “born again” when it’s already happened before). What are your thoughts on that?

Can a Christian then be a weed dealer and still make it with faith in Christ ❤
