Russell Brand Reveals One of the Greatest Blessings Since Embracing Christ

Russell Brand reveals one of the greatest blessings he has experienced since embracing Christ. In a powerful and moving moment, the actor, author and podcast host talked about what he believes is one of the best things about being a follower of Jesus Christ. Watch the short clip to hear what Russell says has been an absolute blessing and why.

None of us would have a chance without the wholly unearned and undeserved love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ. All would be lost, condemned and destined to spend eternity separated from Him. Instead of the possibility of Heaven, we’d be facing a much darker, bleaker and frightening destination after our time on Earth ends.

But Christ entered the world and changed everything, giving people hope and a future. In a clip posted on YouTube, Russell mentions what else Christ has done that many may overlook. He calls it one of the greatest blessings that he has experienced since he began following Jesus Christ.

“Since coming to Christ or Christ coming to me, one of the massive benefits of this has been that I’m no longer left as a solitary adventurer when it comes to determining what moral cause to make through issues,” he said. “Because it’s already sort of predetermined by not only Scripture but by actions of Christ.”

Later in the clip, Russell mentions that Christ's teachings, words and examples have and always will go beyond and hold much greater power and worth than anything from any government or ruling power on Earth.

“It’s also a set of morals that supersede whatever governmental moral authority might be used to oppose it,” he said.

As Russell so elegantly and articulately expresses, Christ’s words and actions are the example and guideline of how to go about living daily life.
