RUSSELL BRAND Personal Testimony - "Why I Came to Faith" - Well Worth Watching!
Russell gives very relaxed, detailed and honest testimony behind his journey to faith in Jesus Christ with fellow Christians Andy Steiger and Wesley Huff from the Apologetics AC Podcast Channel.
In this interview, Russell Brand speaks of his life before giving his life to Christ and his journey towards faith in Jesus Christ. He has come to the understanding that God came to earth to show everyone He is real and can change people’s lives for good. He is a God full of grace and
He wants everyone to come to faith before he returns to earth to rule as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
READ BELOW THE EXACT SCRIPTURES WHERE HE SAYS IT - THEN, BELIEVE AND RECIEVE just as Russell has done!
John 14:6
Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to God.
“Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. ... No one comes to the Father except through me.” (Bible: New American Standard Version 1995)
Peter 3:1-12
The Day of the Lord
“Dear friends, this is now my second letter to you. I have written both of them as reminders to stimulate you to wholesome thinking. 2 I want you to recall the words spoken in the past by the holy prophets and the command given by our Lord and Savior through your apostles.
3 Above all, you must understand that in the last days scoffers will come, scoffing and following their own evil desires. 4 They will say, “Where is this ‘coming’ he promised? Ever since our ancestors died, everything goes on as it has since the beginning of creation.” 5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens came into being and the earth was formed out of water and by water. 6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed. 7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.
8 But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. 9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise,as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything done in it will be laid bare.[a]
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.[b] That day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. Many people have questioned whether Russell’s claim to faith is real, but it seems pretty clear that the words he uses and the power of his testimony in this interview most certainly suggest that he is. (New International Version)
FOR RUSSELL - As with all claims to faith in Christ being the ONLY WAY TO GOD, only time will tell, and the proof will be seen in the fruits of how he works out the rest of his life. In the meantime, our role as Christians is to learn from God’s Word in the Bible - not to be too quick to judge but to continue to pray for Russell and all others who proclaim their faith publicly that they may finish their journey well ….
Galatians 5:22-23
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. but pray for those who dare to speak about their faith openly and do not be too quick to judge. (New International Version Bible)
1 Simon Peter, a servant and apostle of Jesus Christ,
To those who through the righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ have received a faith as precious as ours:
2 Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge of God and of Jesus our Lord.
Confirming One’s Calling and Election
2 Peter 1:3-10
The Christian’s Call and Election
3 His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who has called us by His own glory and excellence, 4 by which He has given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, so that through these things you might become partakers of the divine nature and escape the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 For this reason make every effort to add virtue to your faith; and to your virtue, knowledge; 6 and to your knowledge, self-control; and to your self-control, patient endurance; and to your patient endurance, godliness; 7 and to your godliness, brotherly kindness; and to your brotherly kindness, love. 8 For if these things reside in you and abound, they ensure that you will neither be useless nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 But the one who lacks these things is blind and shortsighted because he has forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins.
10 Therefore, brothers, diligently make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never stumble. (Modern English Version Bible)
WARNING: Be Careful - Do not be too quick to judge the truth of the Return of Jesus to this planet - because The Word of God tells us that IT WILL HAPPEN
On the YouTube Channel, in the description, we can read - ‘Hollywood has long been home to generations of stars who have shaped the entertainment industry—from sitcoms to cult classics, comedy to controversy. But at the heart of it all are individuals in need of Jesus. This week on the AC Podcast, Wes and Andy sit down with actor, comedian, and online personality Russell Brand. Once captivated by the power of celebrity, Brand now seeks to “switch brands,” sharing his newfound faith in Jesus Christ. He opens up about how the truth of the gospel has dismantled the idols in his life, leading him to a genuine relationship with Christ, his Saviour.
