I couldnt watch the video, but I will take floss word about it, and of course the title is easily debunked, the title says salvation isnt by grace but repentance, the bible however says:Look nobody is forcing you to stop sinning... but if you want to be adopted as sons and daughters of God you must repent and stop sinning.
Eph 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.
When it comes to this idea that in order to be saved you must stop sinning, the fact is if you actually believe this, then by your own admission you can not be saved, nor will you ever be saved. The facts are you Sin ever single day. What does Scripture say about what Sin is? Most people want to think that Sin is some big outward things one does, like stealing or cussing, or sex ect, however Sin according to the Bible is defined much more strictly.
James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
So at any moment in life if there is something you know you ought to do but dont do it, that is Sin. This morning you know you ought to dedicate time to the Lord in Prayer, did you do it? Do you do it every single time?
What else does Scripture say?
2 Cor 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Would you like to tell me that you literally take every single thought captive and bring every thought you have into obedience of Christ? If you say yes, well you are a liar, if you say no then you are admitting that you dont do what you know you ought to do therefore you are Sinning, ALL DAY LONG.
Thankfully we know that Salvation come by Grace thru Faith and that Jesus died on the Cross for every single Sin we have or will ever commit, and we can rest assured that if we are Saved and Born Again, that we no longer need to worry about what will happen when we Sin. We know that Jesus has paid the price for us and we are Forgiven. When we do Sin we Repent and cry out for Mercy and God says He will indeed Forgive us.
If you think Salvation comes by Repentance of Sin, then you are forever doomed to Hell becase you will never be able to Repent of all your Sins, it is impossible, the Flesh ONLY craves Sin, there is a battle every day to overcome Sin and the facts are even Peter who lived with Christ still succumbed to Sin, even turning his back on Christ. You want people to think you are better than Peter? Better than all of the Disciples? Better than Paul? You want people to think you are Christ essentially and you are demanding others be Christ in order to be saved, that is nonsense.
If you think you have Repented from all your Sins, then you must believe you are perfectly Righteous, therefore Christ has no use to you anymore. Christ came for the Sick not the Righteous, there is no hope for those who think they are not Sick...
