For Your Edification and Encouragement

This video has been sent to me by several followers—and not just once.
It’s been showing up in my inbox and DMs for months. But when my son recently sent it and asked me what I thought, I felt compelled to speak out about this blatant perversion of the gospel of the grace of God.

I’ve heard this false message before. It’s nothing new. In fact, it’s been around for a long time (in one form or another)—ever since Paul first began preaching the gospel that saves around 40 AD. That’s why I’m including the video here: so you can see it and hear it for yourself.

🗣️ “You don’t get into heaven by faith alone. You get justified by faith alone… but to enter heaven, your faith must bear fruit, pursue holiness, and put sin to death.”

It sounds serious. It sounds theological.
But it’s not grace. It’s not Paul’s gospel.
And it’s not good news—because it places the burden back on you.

❌ His Own Words Condemn Him

What he proclaims does not align with the truth of God’s Word.
Yes, it may sound harsh—but it’s the truth.

And what makes it even more serious is this: not only is he under condemnation, but so are those who believe the false gospel he’s preaching.

This isn’t just my opinion—it’s the warning of the resurrected, glorified Lord Jesus Christ, who gave this message directly to the apostle Paul.

A warning so strong, He says it twice:

“But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.”
—Galatians 1:8

“As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.”
—Galatians 1:9

✅ What Is the Gospel That Saves?

So what is the gospel—the only gospel that saves in this age of grace?

It’s the gospel that was revealed directly to the apostle Paul by the risen, glorified Lord Jesus Christ:

“Moreover, brethren, I declare to you the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received and in which you stand,
by which also you are saved…
that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
and that He was buried,
and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures.”

—1 Corinthians 15:1–4

This is the gospel of the grace of God—that salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, apart from works, law, or performance.

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. 

—Ephesians 2:8-9

“But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness.”
—Romans 4:5

It is by this gospel by which all mankind will be judged:

“In the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.”

—Romans 2:16

🚨 Final Word

There is no such thing as “final salvation.”
You’re either saved or you’re not.

Justification is salvation. It’s not step one, it’s not a test run, and it’s not a probation period.
You don’t work your way into heaven after being justified.

This false message keeps people exhausted, insecure, and enslaved by fear.
And that’s exactly what the enemy wants.

“For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light.
Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness…”
—2 Corinthians 11:14–15

But the truth is simple. The truth sets you free.

For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

—1 Corinthians 1:18

✝️ Believe the Gospel—Nothing More, Nothing Less

In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,

—Ephesians 1:13

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

—Romans 10:9

For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 

—Romans 10:10

For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. 

—Romans 10:11

‘For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.’

—I Thessalonians 4:14
