Jesus came with a dual mission - to save the lost, but also to bring God's judgment on unbelievers. Just as fire purges and purifies, Christ's gospel either saves people or condemns based on their response. Jesus bore God's judgment for believers by dying on the cross. But unbelievers will face judgment after death. Jesus warns against lacking spiritual discernment of the times and failing to see the danger of rejecting him.

Dr. Michael Youssef teaches on the profound meaning of the word "sincere," tracing its roots to the Roman Empire's deceptive practices with marble. By examining Luke chapter 12, Dr. Youssef emphasizes the pervasive nature of hypocrisy in society, likening hypocrites to actors. Stressing the importance of truth in a world filled with deception, he urges believers to focus on three non-negotiables: honoring the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In an environment where false teachings can easily sway many, the central message is clear: prioritize and uphold the teachings of the triune God to steer clear of hypocrisy's influence. The ultimate reward? Eternal protection and blessings in Jesus, regardless of worldly challenges.

Dr. Michael Youssef tackles the question "Who will be saved and go to heaven?" He explains that only those who repent and believe in Jesus will enter heaven. Good works, church attendance, or simply calling yourself a Christian is not enough. Salvation requires surrendering your sin and pride to Christ. Dr. Youssef vividly describes hell and warns against false gospels that deviate from biblical truth. He proclaims the uncompromising message that Jesus Christ is the only way to salvation.
