"If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left." Option 1: Direct & Natural (Engaging Study Guide) Scripture Reference: Hebrews 10:26 "If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left." What is "Willful Sin"? In this setting, willful sin means knowingly and permanently turning your back on Yeshua. It warns those who fully understand the truth yet consciously choose to walk away and reject Him. Why "No Sacrifice Remains": Yeshua is the Father's ultimate, complete, and final offering for human sin. Once an individual rejects Yeshua, there is no second savior, no Levitical altar to run back to, and no alternate plan of Option 3: Side-by-Side Clarification (Common Misconceptions vs. Biblical Meaning) What It Does Not Mean What the Scripture Actually Teaches It does not mean someone loses their standing because they stumble into ordinary human failure or daily struggles. It specifically warns against apostasy—a settled, deliberate decision to abandon faith in Yeshua entirely. It does not mean the Father refuses repentance from a contrite heart seeking forgiveness. It addresses those who knowingly treat Yeshua’s blood as unholy, leaving themselves with no other sacrifice to cover their sins. Proponents emphasize that Yehovah (יְהֹוָה) is not a 16th-century Christian invention. It is documented with full pointing in over 1,000 Hebrew Bible manuscripts, including prominent early texts like the Leningrad Codex and the Aleppo Codex. They argue Masoretic scribes who guarded letter-by-letter accuracy would not have recorded "mistaken" vowels across centurie The Consonants (יהוה / YHWH): Appear 6,828 times in the Hebrew Masoretic Text. In the Dead Sea Scrolls (dating 2,000+ years ago), scribes often wrote these four consonants in archaic Paleo-Hebrew script to set the sacred Name apart from the surrounding square Aramaic-Hebrew script. 1,000 times across other medieval manuscripts), while the shortened two-vowel form served as the standard scribal reminder (qere perpetuum) to pronounce "Adonai".

Christians don't teach: You die once then comes judgment. Hebrew 9:27You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you…9 Of all the creatures that live in the water, whether in the sea or in the streams, you may eat anything with fins and scales, no pork product . Why hasn’t your Pastor shared these Verses? Barns Group survey. "Believers don't care what the truth Is, or care what Yehovah desires from us. We are afraid of looking into, it because it will draw a line in the sand, we know we don't want to make those decisions because at the end of the day, we want what we want, we are comfortable with our lives we are comfortable out traditions that are man-made. But you have a thought that pops into your head that's not what it means to me. The issue is it doesn't matter to you it matters to Yehovah He is the one being worshiped." The problem facing the church is not that people lack a complete set of beliefs the problem is that have a full state of beliefs in mind, which they think are consistent with biblical teachings, and they are neither open to being proven wrong nor learning new insights. The bottom line is among both clergy and laity was indifference toward their acknowledged lack of evaluation" Barrna Why hasn’t your Pastor shared these Verses? teach: You die once then comes judgment. Hebrew 9:27 You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you…9 Of all the creatures that live in the water, whether in the sea or in the streams, you may eat anything with fins and scales, no pork product of any kind. Leviticus 11:9 God calls homosexuality an abomination as well. (unclean and an abomination) Truth seekers Is it ok? The evening air in the study was cool, but the atmosphere around the heavy wooden table was charged. A small group, calling themselves the Truth Seekers, sat with open scrolls and Bibles spread wide. At the head of the table sat Thomas, an elder who had spent decades testing every church tradition against the raw, unvarnished text of Scripture. Across from him sat Marcus, a sincere young believer raised in mainstream church traditions, accompanied by Sarah, who was eager to measure her life solely by what was written. Thomas laid his hand flat on an open copy of the Torah. "We are here for one reason," Thomas began, his voice low and firm. "Not to validate what we grew up believing, but to bow to what is written. Belief does not determine truth. If our answer rejects what is written, it is either born of ignorance or driven by rebellion." Marcus leaned forward, a legal pad filled with questions in front of him. "Those are heavy words, Thomas. Ignorance or rebellion? Isn't there middle ground for sincere intent?" "Scripture knows no middle ground between obedience and disobedience," Thomas replied directly. "Let us test the four fundamental questions every believer faces." Part I: The Four Questions Thomas pointed to the first line on Marcus’s pad. 1. Is it ok to go to church on Sunday? "If you go to fellowship, that is your choice," Thomas said. "But if you treat Sunday as God’s holy day or a substitute for the Sabbath, the answer is no. Yehovah never sanctified the first day of the week. Man changed the day; God never did." 2. Is it ok to work on Saturday? "No. Exodus 20:8–10 leaves no room for debate: 'Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor... but the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah your God. In it you shall do no work.'on the seventh day is to break the Fourth Commandment." 3. Is it ok to eat anything with washed hands? "No. Physical water cannot make swine, shellfish, or scavengers clean," Sarah chimed in, turning to Leviticus 11. "Yeshua’s debate in Matthew 15 was over man-made ceremonial handwashing before eating bread—not declaring unclean animals clean to eat." 4. Did Christ rise on Sunday morning? "No. Yeshua gave only one sign of His Messiahship: three full days and three full nights in the heart of the earth (Matthew 12:40). A Friday evening burial to Sunday morning sunrise is barely 36 hours. When the women arrived while it was yet dark on the first day of the week, the tomb was already empty (John 20:1). He had already risen at the end of the Sabbath, fulfilling the 72 hours." Part II: The Fifty Excuses Marcus looked down at his notes, tracing the ten common arguments he had heard in sermons for years. "Whenever people are confronted with these four truths," Marcus admitted, "they bring out the same ten justifications. Are all ten of these really just excuses to replace God's written truth with human belief?" "Every single one," Thomas stated. "They fall squarely into those same two categories: Ignorance—being misled by tradition and lack of knowledge—or Rebellion—knowing what Yehovah commanded and refusing to obey." Together, the group went down the list, holding each claim up to the light of the Word: 1. "Didn't I pray the Sinner's Prayer and accept Jesus?" The Truth: A verbal prayer without obedience is meaningless. Yeshua said, "Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven" (Matthew 7:21). "2, Aren't we under grace, not the Law?" The Truth: Grace pardons past sin; it does not grant permission to break commandments. Paul wrote, "Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law" (Romans 3:31). 3, "Don't I go to church, give tithes, and do good works?" The Truth: External religious routines cannot replace Torah obedience. Yeshua warned that those who practice lawlessness will be turned away, regardless of their works (Matthew 7:23). 4. "Doesn't God know my heart and accept my sincerity?" The Truth: The heart is deceitful (Jeremiah 17:9). Worshiping according to human tradition while ignoring God's commands is vain worship (Matthew 15:9). 5. "Isn't baptism or church membership my golden ticket?" The Truth: Rituals without a life of covenant obedience carry zero weight before the Almighty (Matthew 3:8–10). 6. "Isn't the Old Testament only for the Jews?" The Truth: Scripturally, there is one Law for the native-born and the stranger grafted in (Exodus 12:49; Romans 11). 7. "Can't I worship God however I choose, as long as it's from the heart?" The Truth: Yehovah explicitly commanded never to adopt pagan customs or add to His instructions (Deuteronomy 12:30–32). 8.. "Didn't Paul teach that all foods are clean and days don't matter?" The Truth: Peter warned that Paul's letters are easily twisted by the lawless (2 Peter 3:15–17). Paul himself walked in obedience to the Law (Acts 21:24). 9. "Doesn't God love everyone unconditionally, so He won't exclude anyone who tries?" The Truth: The gate to life is narrow and strict, and few find it because few submit to His terms (Matthew 7:13–14). 10. "Didn't the Holy Spirit reveal new truth to our denomination?" The Truth: Yehovah does not change (Malachi 3:6). The Spirit will never contradict the written Torah. 11. "Didn't Jesus fulfill the Law so I don't have to keep it?" The Truth: Fulfilling the Law means setting the proper example of how to keep it, not abolishing it. Yeshua explicitly stated, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets... Till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till all is fulfilled" (Matthew 5:17–18). 12. "Isn't love all that matters now under the New Covenant?" The Truth: Scripture defines love by obedience to the Father's commandments, not by human emotion. John wrote, "For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome" (1 John 5:3; see also 2 John 1:6). 13. "Wasn't Sabbath changed to Sunday after the resurrection?" The Truth: Man has no authority to alter the Creator's set times and days. The seventh-day Sabbath remains an everlasting sign between God and His covenant people (Exodus 31:16–17), and there is zero Scriptural command authorizing a shift to Sunday. 13, "Isn't keeping the commandments trying to earn salvation by works?" The Truth: Salvation is a gift received through faith, but obedience is the evidence of true faith. Faith without works is dead (James 2:20), and commandment-keeping is the continuous expression of a redeemed life, not a means to purchase grace (Revelation 14:12). 15. "Aren't those dietary laws and feast days just shadows that passed away?" The Truth: Paul noted that the Biblical feasts are a shadow of good things to come, meaning they point to future prophetic events rather than expired ones (Colossians 2:16–17). Yeshua and the early believers kept the Torah's feasts and dietary standards, and they remain the eternal appointments of the Almighty (Leviticus 23:14, 21, 31, 41). 16. "Didn't the Law end when Jesus died on the cross?" The Truth: Messiah’s death paid the penalty of sin (death), not the obligation to stop sinning. Sin is defined as the transgression of the Law (1 John 3:4). If the Law ended at the cross, then sin no longer exists, making the gift of grace irrelevant (Romans 6:1–2). 17. "Aren't the commandments just burden-filled Old Testament bondage?" The Truth: Yahweh’s Torah was given as a guide for life, freedom, and blessing. David declared, "I will walk at liberty, for I seek Your precepts" (Psalm 119:45), and James referred to the royal commandment as the "perfect law of liberty" (James 1:25). Bondage comes from sin, not obedience. 18 ."Didn't Peter's vision in Acts 10 mean we can eat any animal now?" The Truth: Peter himself explained the meaning of the vision in Acts 10:28: God showed him that he should not call any man common or unclean. The sheet filled with animals was an object lesson about accepting Gentile believers into the covenant, not a instruction to ignore the Creator’s dietary laws. 19. "Isn't my pastor or church denomination responsible for teaching me the truth?" The Truth: Every individual will stand before the judgment seat of Messiah for themselves (2 Corinthians 5:10). The Bereans were praised because they searched the Scriptures daily to see if what the apostles taught aligned with the written Word (Acts 17:11). Human leaders cannot shield you from accountability. 20. "Didn't Paul rebuke the Galatians for trying to keep the Law?" The Truth: Paul rebuked the Galatians for turning to a false gospel that claimed legalistic adherence to man-made traditions or circumcision could earn justification (Galatians 2:16, 3:1–3). He was opposing legalism as a path to salvation, not rejecting Torah obedience as the outcome of faith. 21. "Can't we celebrate traditional holidays like Christmas and Easter as long as we mean well?" The Truth: God explicitly commands His people not to adopt the religious practices of surrounding pagan nations to worship Him (Deuteronomy 12:4, 30–31). Sincerity does not override direct instructions on how the Father desires to be honored. 22. "Doesn't the Letter of the Law kill, while the Spirit gives life?" The Truth: The letter kills when used as a system of self-righteous condemnation without faith. The Holy Spirit’s role is to write the Father's Law directly onto our hearts so that we can walk in His statutes (Ezekiel 36:26–27; Jeremiah 31:33). The Spirit leads into obedience, never lawlessness. 24. "Isn't the New Covenant completely different from the Old Covenant?" The Truth: The New Covenant is not a brand-new set of rules, but a renewed delivery system. The exact definition of the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31:31–33 and Hebrews 8:8–10 is the same Torah put into the mind and written on the heart, accompanied by the forgiveness of sins through Messiah's blood. 25. "Didn't Jesus break the Sabbath when He healed people on that day?" The Truth: Yeshua never broke the Sabbath command; He broke human, Pharisaic traditions that added restrictive rules God never commanded. If Messiah had broken the Sabbath, He would have sinned and failed as the unblemished Lamb (1 John 3:5; Deuteronomy 13:1–3). 26. "Isn't it impossible for anyone to actually keep all the commandments?" The Truth: God does not command what is impossible, nor does He set His people up to fail. While human perfection in our own strength is impossible, John affirms that His commandments are not burdensome (1 John 5:3), and Deuteronomy 30:11–14 states that the command is not too hard or far off, but near so that it can be done through a heart yielded to Him. 27. "Didn't the Jerusalem Council in Acts 15 say Gentiles only need to keep four rules?" The Truth: The four prohibitions given in Acts 15:20 were immediate requirements to break away from pagan temple worship and enter the community. James explicitly added that Gentile believers would learn the rest of the Torah every Sabbath in the synagogues (Acts 15:21). 28. "Isn't Jesus our Sabbath rest now, making a physical day obsolete?" The Truth: While Messiah provides spiritual rest from sin, He never annulled the creation ordinance of the seventh day. Hebrews 4:9 confirms, "There remains, therefore, a Sabbath-keeping for the people of God." Spiritual fulfillment never abolishes a literal commandment. 29. "Didn't Jesus clean all foods in Mark 7:19?" The Truth: The context of Mark 7 was a dispute over ceremonial handwashing traditions created by the elders, not Levitical dietary laws (Mark 7:2–3). Yeshua clarified that eating food with unwashed hands does not defile a person spiritually; He did not reclassify unclean animals as food. 30 "Aren't we saved by faith alone, so keeping commandments is unnecessary?" The Truth: Faith saves, but genuine faith produces obedience. Abraham was justified by faith, yet God praised him because he "obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws" (Genesis 26:5). True faith works through obedience, while faith without works is dead (James 2:24–26). 31. "Didn't the veil torn in the temple signify that the Law was done away with?" The Truth: The torn veil signified open access to the Holy of Holies through the blood of Messiah, removing the barrier between God and man (Hebrews 10:19–22). It demonstrated that the sacrificial barrier was overcome, not that the moral and holy standard of the Almighty had been dismantled. 32. "Isn't judging someone by what they eat, drink, or observe forbidden in Colossians 2:16?" The Truth: Paul told believers not to let outsiders judge them for keeping the Biblical feasts, new moons, and Sabbaths. The verse warns against letting pagan philosophy criticize believers for celebrating God's appointed times, not against keeping the commandments (Colossians 2:8, 16–17). 33. "Didn't Paul call the Law a 'ministry of death' in 2 Corinthians 3?" The Truth: Paul called the condemnation written on stone a ministry of death, because the Law convicts the sinner of death without providing the Spirit to overcome it. The Law itself is "holy, and the commandment holy and just and good" (Romans 7:12); the Spirit provides the power to walk in that holiness. 34. "Can't we just focus on the 'weightier matters' like mercy and justice, and ignore the minor details?" The Truth: Yeshua rebuked the religious leaders for neglecting justice and mercy, but He explicitly commanded that smaller details must not be left undone. He said, "These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone" (Matthew 23:23). 35. "Isn't the Law of Christ different from the Law of Moses?" The Truth: Messiah walked in perfect submission to the Father's Torah and taught others to do the same. The "Law of Christ" is the Torah fulfilled and applied through love and the Holy Spirit, not a replacement set of rules that contradicts the Father's voice (John 7:16; Galatians 6:2). 36. "Doesn't the doctrine of eternal security mean my walk won't forfeit my kingdom inheritance?" The Truth: Scripture repeatedly warns that practicing unrighteousness excludes a person from the Kingdom. Paul warned believers directly: "Do not be deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters... nor thieves... will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9–10; see also Revelation 22:14–15). 37. "Didn't Paul say, 'All things are lawful for me'?" The Truth: Paul was quoting a popular slogan of the licentious Corinthian culture only to refute it. He immediately countered their mindset twice by stating that not all things are beneficial and that he would not be mastered by anything (1 Corinthians 6:12, 10:23). Paul never taught that breaking God's written commandments was permissible. 38. "Wasn't circumcision abolished in the New Testament?" The Truth: Physical circumcision performed merely as a outward ritual for salvation without a heart surrendered to God was rejected. Paul clarified that "circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing, but keeping the commandments of God is what matters" (1 Corinthians 7:19). True covenant membership has always required the circumcision of the heart expressing itself through obedience (Deuteronomy 30:6; Romans 2:28–29). 39. "Didn't Jesus do away with the distinction between clean and unclean in Acts or Romans?" The Truth: Scripture explicitly states that the distinction between clean and unclean animals will remain intact all the way through Messiah's return and judgment. Isaiah prophesied that those consuming swine's flesh and abominable things at His coming will meet destruction (Isaiah 66:15–17), confirming that God's creation design for clean and unclean never changes. 40. "Isn't the Law only for those who want to be under a curse?" The Truth: The Law itself is not a curse; the curse of the Law is the death penalty resulting from disobeying it (Galatians 3:10–13). Messiah redeemed believers from the penalty of death through His sacrifice so that they could walk in obedience, not so they could freely remain in the sin that brought the curse in the first place. 41. "Didn't the Apostles change the day of worship because Jesus rose on the 'first day of the week'?" The Truth: The phrase "first day of the week" (mia ton sabbaton) in the Greek text of the Gospels and Acts refers to the counting of the weeks leading to Shavuot (Pentecost), an explicitly Torah-defined season (Leviticus 23:15–16). The apostles continued to assemble, preach, and keep the seventh-day Sabbath throughout the entire Book of Acts (Acts 13:42–44, 17:2, 18:4). 42. "Can't I rely on my spiritual gifts, prophecies, or miracles as proof I am in right standing?" The Truth: Spiritual manifestations are not proof of righteousness. Yeshua declared that many will say on that day, "Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?" and He will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!" (Matthew 7:22–23). 43. "Doesn't the Book of Hebrews say the Old Covenant is obsolete and passing away?" The Truth: Hebrews 8:13 addresses the sacrificial system and Levitical priesthood operating at the physical temple, which was rendered obsolete by Messiah's superior Melchizedek priesthood and ultimate sacrifice. The moral and behavioral standards of the Torah—the definition of sin itself—were never declared obsolete; rather, they are written upon the heart in that very same New Covenant (Hebrews 8:10). 44. "Didn't Jesus declare all meats clean when He said what enters the mouth doesn't defile a man?" The Truth: In Matthew 15:11, Yeshua was addressing the Pharisaic ritual of washing hands (netilat yadayim), not what Leviticus defines as food. Unclean animals were never considered "food" (broma) by any Israelite audience, and Yeshua concluded His instruction by explicitly stating, "to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man" (Matthew 15:20). 45. "Isn't keeping the Torah putting a yoke of bondage on Gentile believers?" The Truth: The "yoke" referred to by Peter in Acts 15:10 was the man-made oral traditions and Pharisaic legalism that demanded perfection for justification, not the Father's commandments. John confirms that God's commandments are not burdensome (1 John 5:3), and Yeshua stated, "My yoke is easy and My burden is light" (Matthew 11:30) as He modeled perfect Torah obedience. 46. "Doesn't the Holy Spirit inside me replace the need for written commandments?" The Truth: The explicit purpose of the Holy Spirit is to cause believers to keep the written Word. Yahweh promised, "I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them" (Ezekiel 36:27). The Spirit and the written Torah are in complete harmony; any spirit that leads away from the written Law is not the Holy Spirit. 47. "Didn't Paul teach that Christ is the end of the Law?" The Truth: The Greek word used in Romans 10:4 for "end" is telos, which means the ultimate target, goal, or outcome—not termination. Messiah is the goal to which the Law leads, revealing its true purpose and embodying its righteousness, so that everyone who believes may walk as He walked (Romans 8:3–4; 1 John 2:6). 48, "Isn't salvation purely a matter of personal relationship, not rules?" The Truth: Scripturally, a genuine relationship with the Creator is defined by keeping His instructions. John writes explicitly, "Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, 'I know Him,' and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him" (1 John 2:3–4). Relationship and obedience cannot be separated. 49. "Didn't God change His standards for the New Testament era?" The Truth: Yahweh explicitly declares, "For I am the Lord, I do not change" (Malachi 3:6), and James notes that with Him "there is no variation or shadow of turning" (James 1:17). Defining sin as transgression of the Law (1 John 3:4) means His moral standard for righteousness remains immutable across every generation. 50. "Can't we assume that majority church consensus over centuries reflects God's will?" The Truth: Messiah made it clear that majority consensus is rarely the indicator of truth. He warned, "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it" (Matthew 7:13). Truth is measured by the written Word, not by popular practice or human tradition (Mark 7:8). The Bottom Line Silence fell over the room as the weight of the Scriptures settled upon the table. Marcus folded his legal pad, looking up at Thomas and Sarah. The fog of church dogma had cleared, leaving only the unbending standard of the Creator. "So it comes down to how we walk," Marcus said quietly. "It always has," Thomas replied, closing his Bible. "Your life is your answer. It is the testimony you present before the Judge. If your walk relies on any of these ten excuses, the answer your life gives is either ignorant or rebellious. Set aside human preferences, discard the doctrines of men, and walk strictly in the written commandments of the Father and the path of Yeshua. That is what it means to be a true seeker of Truth." The Truth: God does not command what is impossible, nor does He set His people up to fail. While human perfection in our own strength is impossible, John affirms that His commandments are not burdensome (1 John 5:3), and Deuteronomy 30:11–14 states that the command is not too hard or far off, but near so that it can be done through a heart yielded to Him. You must endure until the end to be saved. Matthew 24:13 “I did not come to bring peace, but a sword “Matthew 10:34 “I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. “Matthew 15:24 We are to live as he did 1 John 2:6 He kept the Leviticus food law, the Sabbath, God's required feast days and all the commandments. That the wise men were not at his birth. Matthew 2:10 The Messiah taught the Gospel about the Kingdom of God. Mark 1;14-15. Nowhere in scripture does Yeshua say that the gospel is about Him coming to die for our sins? There is not one verse changing the Sabbath to Sunday. That new covenant is for the house of Judah and the house of Israel. Jeremiah 31:31 Peter's vision is not about eating unclean meat. He explains his vision. Acts 10:15 That the curse of the law of sin and death was nailed to the cross. Galatians 3:13 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Galatians 5:18 God detests the prayers of a person who ignores the law. Proverbs 28:9 John 3:36 they stop at John 3:16 We must be grafted into Israel. Romans 11:11-31 "Do not learn the ways of the nations. Jeremiah 10:2 Their ways are futile and Foolish. They cut down a tree, and a craftsman carved an idol.4 They decorate it with gold and silver and then fasten it securely with a hammer and nails so it won’t fall over. Jeremiah 10:3 Christians don't teach, every year, the priest of Ishtar would impregnate young virgins on an altar. The children were born on Christmas and the next year they were sacrificed at the Easter Sunday sunrise service. The priest would take Ishtar’s eggs and dye them in the blood of the sacrificed children. This was observed around 2000 years before Christ was born. “You shall not give any of your offspring to offer them to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God; I am Yehovah Leviticus 18:21 21 . Dear children, don’t let anyone deceive you about this: When people do what is right, it shows that they are righteous, even as Christ is righteous. 8 But when people keep on sinning, it shows that they belong to the devil, who has been sinning since the beginning. But the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Those who have been born into God’s family do not make a practice of sinning, because God’s life is in them. So, they can’t keep on sinning, because they are children of God. 10 So now we can tell who the children of God are and who are the children of the devil. Anyone who does not live righteously and does not love other believers does not belong to God. 1 John 3: But as for you, Christ has poured out his Spirit on you. As long as His Spirit remains in you, you do not need anyone to teach you. For His, Spirit teaches you about everything, and what he teaches is true, not false. Obey the Spirit's teaching, then, and remain in union with Christ. John 2:27 Test yourselves to discover whether you are true believers: put yourself under examination. Or do you not know that Yeshua Messiah is within you, unless you are insincere? 2 Corinthians 13:5

THE FINAL JUDGMENT "He that rejects Me and doesn't receive my words has one that judges him: the WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, the same shall judge him in the last day." ETERNAL JUDGMENT The truth about hell False prophet Christ said"There are more people going to Hell then Heaven" 1 John 3:4 in Everyone who makes a practice of sinning also practices lawlessness; sin is lawlessness. All who indulge in a sinful life are dangerously lawless, for sin is a major disruption of God's order. The word eternal means constant or forever. The Bible refers to the final judgment that God will declare on individuals. This judgment will determine our state for eternity. It's important to realize that all judgment comes through Jesus, the Son of God. This diagnostic test brings the entire scriptural warning to its absolute climax: the Great White Throne Judgment. It forces the reader to stand before the opened books of record and the standard of the Spoken Word, confronting whether their lifestyle is being actively washed clean by the blood of the Lamb through a return to the Torah, or if they are coasting toward eternal destruction. 📋 The "Great White Throne & The Opened Books" Test Instructions: Answer these 4 final questions with absolute sobriety, evaluating your life against the infallible, courtroom evidence of the heavenly court. Question 1: The Standard of the Courtroom In John 12:48, the Judge declares the exact law book of the court: "He that rejects Me and doesn't receive my words has one that judges him: the WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN , the same shall judge him in the last day." When you stand before the throne, what standard will determine your destiny? A) The Spoken Word. You recognize that the unchanging Word of God—the Torah, the statutes, and the life-giving commands practiced by Yeshua—is the final law of the land. You are actively aligning your life, your diet, and your Sabbath with that standard today. B) Human Tradition . You believe that your modern church culture, personal opinions, or the consensus of the crowd will be accepted as a valid defense, assuming the Judge will overlook your disregard for His spoken commands. Question 2: The Evidence in the Books Revelation 20:12 states that the dead will be judged "according to their works, by the things that were written in the books." Knowing that 1 John 3:4 defines sin explicitly as the practice of lawlessness (anomia), what does the daily record of your actions look like right now? A) Cleaned and Transformed. The books record a life that stopped practicing lawlessness. Your past sins have been washed clean by the Blood of the Lamb, and your current record shows a dedicated pursuit of righteousness and obedience. B) Continuous Lawlessness . The books are actively recording a lifestyle that mimics the world. You routinely cross His boundaries, ignore His calendar, and live without regard for His laws, falsely hoping the record won't matter on that day. Question 3: The Severity of Willful Defiance The scripture asks a terrifying question in 1 Peter 4:17–18: If judgment begins at the house of God, "what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? " If the Father did not spare His own Son when He took on our sin, how do you view your personal accountability? A) Fearful Reverence. You realize that Yehovah is righteously incapable of overlooking unrepented sin. You treat His commands with the highest regard, knowing that the willful and rebellious will face retribution and total exclusion from the Kingdom. B) Presumptuous Security . You assume that because you made a verbal confession, you have a pass to remain willful and sloppy in your lifestyle, believing a loving God would never actually execute His written wrath on you. Question 4: The Sifting of the Book of Life At the final accounting, Daniel 7:10 and Revelation 20:12 show that the heavenly court will sit, and a meticulous search will be made through the Book of Life for the names of those standing there. What is the evidence today that a name is securely written in that book? A) You Listen and Respond . As John 8:47 states, because you belong to Yehovah, you actively listen to and physically obey His words. Your faith is visible, tangible, and set apart from the world. B) You Look and Walk Away. You talk about God, but your feet walk the broad highway to destruction (Matthew 7:13). Your life lacks the physical fruit of the New Covenant, proving that you are only fooling yourself. The Final Verdict: Look at where your checked boxes land. There is no appeal process at the Great White Throne, and there are no hidden motives that the light of His face will not expose. If your choices land squarely on B, the mirror delivers the ultimate, uncompromised truth: How you live your life is the only real evidence of what you believe internally. A major disruption of God's order cannot enter His future Kingdom. If you refuse to judge yourself by the Word today, you will be broken by that same Word on the last day. The books are being written every single hour you have breath. Turn away from the broad road of lawlessness, drop the traditions of men, and submit your walk completely to the King while the door of repentance is still open. ETERNAL JUDGMENT THE REASON FOR JUDGMENT 1. Because of sin against His laws. "As many as have sinned [missed the mark] in the law, shall be judged by the law " (Romans 2:12) "The soul that sins shall die" (Ezekiel 18: 4; also, Romans 3:23) 2. Because of disobedience - in that Yehovah is righteous and cannot overlook sin, the penalty for the broken law must be met. Those who do not know Yehovah as well as those who do not obey the gospel incur His wrath. There are two categories cited in 2 Thessalonians 1: 8; Romans 2: 8, 9 Because ungodliness and unrighteousness are unacceptable to His holiness, and sinners cannot come into His presence . Hebrews 7:26; 1 Peter 1:15,16; 1 Timothy 6:13-16; Revelation 15:4 His justice demands retribution upon those who have violated His commands, and exclusion from His presence and His future kingdom. 2 Thessalonians 1: 9; Revelation 21:27, 8 5. To limit the effects of individual and collective sin so that man may come to repentance and be saved from eternal destruction. When His judgments are embraced, they work salvation Psalm 94:12-13; 2 Peter 3: 9 'Eternal' life and 'eternal' punishment would have to be equated as the same length of time, or else of the same nature, being spoken of in the same way - i.e. that which is enduring. Eternal judgment awaits every human soul. Yeshua our Messiah will return, the dead will be raised, and they will be judged by Him and receive their eternal destiny. This will be a visible public and universal judgment. The Lamb's victory over sin, death, and Satan will be fully manifested and executed. IDENTITY OF THE JUDGE The Father is the instigator of the judgment to bring to completion His plan for the ages by bringing an end to sin and lawlessness and bringing in everlasting righteousness. See also Daniel 12: 2, 3 God the Father is cited as the judge of all - Hebrews 12:23; 1 Peter 4: 5 The Son has been given the authority to judge because He is the Son of Man. John 5:27 "He has fixed a day when He will judge the world righteously by a Man whom He has destined and appointed for that task" Romans 3: 6 Amplified Version - See also Acts 10:42 "For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son, " John 5:22 THE FINAL JUDGMENT "He that rejects Me and doesn't receive my words has one that judges him : the WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, the same shall judge him in the last day." John 12:48 If men refuse to accept God's judgment of sin at Calvary in Messiah and refuse to judge themselves by that Word which is the only infallible standard, then there only remains the penalty for their sin, which is a judgment to destruction. Eternal death is the consequence of sin upon unregenerate man . If Yehovah did not spare His wrath upon His own Son Whom He made to be sin for us (in order to spare us), what will be the state of the willful, the lawless, and the rebellious? 1 Peter 4:17-18; John 3:36 For each person that departs this life, there will be an expectation of resurrection as well as an expectation of judgment. "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" Hebrews 9:27 "We shall all stand before the judgment seat (throne) of Messiah. For it is written: As I live, says Yehovah, every knee shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So, then each of us shall give an account of himself to God " Romans 14:10-12; Isaiah 45:23 "And I saw a Great White Throne, and Him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. "And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God, and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged according to their works, by the things that were written in the books" Revelation 20:11,12 The "books" are opened. These are the records of all that each person has thought, said, and done upon earth that has not been taken out and washed clean by the Blood of the Lamb. The "Book of Life" is also opened, allowing us to understand that a search will be made through it for a record of the names of those standing before the throne on this occasion. THE OPENED BOOKS An earthly court of law proceeds upon evidence. The scriptures tell us that the heavenly court will be set for the proceedings to go forth, and all the evidence will be brought forth. The heavenly court will be seated, and the books opened. Daniel 7:10 1. THE SCRIPTURES "The word that I have spoken will judge him on the last day " John 12:48 He is the eternal Word Who spoke to Moses and gave us the Law. We will be held accountable to have obeyed His revealed Word. Hebrews 2: 1-4 2 THE BOOK OF LIFE The entries in the Book of Life will be a major determining factor of eternal destinies. Luke 10:20; Phil. 4:3; Daniel 12:1 However Yehovah said to Moses that whoever had sinned against Him in idolatry would have his name blotted out. See Exodus 32:33 & Deuteronomy 9:14. Also the ungodly - Psalm 69:28 (Christmas, Easter) Also again emphasized, that whoever turned away and followed the gods of the world, his name would be blotted out of the Book of Life. Deuteronomy 29:14, 18-20 Those of Sardis who overcame the lusts of the flesh were guaranteed their names will not be blotted out. Revelation 3:5 THE BOOK OF REMEMBRANCE "Then they that feared Yehovah spoke often one to another and Yehovah listened and heard them; So a Book of Remembrance was written before Him for those who fear Yehovah and who meditate on His name." and the promise - "And they shall be Mine, says Yehovah of host On the day that I make them My jewels." (Malachi 3:16) Note Revelation 21:19, 20 - the gemstones of New Jerusalem BOOK OF PRAYER/INTERCESSION The prayers of the righteous are recorded by the ministration of angels. "Put my tears into Your bottle; are they not in Your book? When I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back. " Psalm 56: 8, 9 "My face is flushed from weeping .... ..... and my prayer is pure. Surely even now my witness [record KJ] is in heaven, and my evidence is on high" Job 16:16-19 'BOOK' OF STEWARDSHIP Accounting is made of each one's faithfulness in stewardship over the things entrusted to their care. Yeshua gave a parable of a nobleman going away and entrusting his servants to continue his business, with the instruction to "occupy till I come" (Luke 19:12-27) He gave another parable where a steward was called to "Give an account of your stewardship" Luke 16:2-13 RECORDS OF WORDS AND COUNSELS OF THE HEART The heart of man will be judged by the things he has said, "for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks" (Matthew 12:34, 36-37) An account will be required for every unprofitable, worthless word. "For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known" Luke 12: 2 He will bring to light all the hidden, secret counsels of the heart and every secret work. 1 Corinthians 4:5; Romans 2:16; Luke 8:17; Matthew 6: 4-6, 17-18 RECORDS OF ALL DEEDS Everything down to a cup of water that we give to one of His, (Matthew 10:41-42) and kind acts were done to a child in His Name (Matthew 18: 5) are recorded. Consider, even the hairs of our head are numbered and not one sparrow falls to the ground, but He knows. Psalm 139:16 Our Father has an excellent accounting system. THE JUDGMENT ACCORDING TO WORKS “the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; " 1 Peter 1:17; 4: 1-5, 17-18 "Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man For God will bring every work into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil." Ecclesiastes 12:14 "For we must all appear before the judgment seat (throne) of Messiah, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad." 2 Corinthians 5:10 "eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality; but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness - indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of a man who does evil, the Jew first and also of the Greek. For there is no partiality with God." Romans 2:7-9, 11 (Note. Jew and Greek (nations) cover all believers - see verses 1-6 of the same chapter) FOR THAT REASON - the apostles of Messiah said, "Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Yeshua the Messiah" Colossians 1:28 " to present you holy, and blameless and above reproach in His sight" Colossians 1:22" That you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Messiah, being filled with the fruits of righteousness " Philippians 1:10-11 "Who will confirm you to the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord, Yeshua the Messiah." 1 Corinthians 1: 8 Yeshua said, "And that servant who knew his master’s will and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him, they will ask the more." Luke 12:47-48 The measure of accountability will be according to the measure of knowledge of our Father's will, as also the measure of disciplinary punishment. Indicating that Yeshua is speaking here of corrective punishment for those who receive 'few stripes'. However, Yeshua says that for those who go into unrighteous living that He "will be cut in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers" Luke 12:45-4 In Matthew 24:51 Yeshua is quoted as applying it to hypocrites, and that to be cut in two is an appropriate punishment for one who has lived a double life. "There shall be weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth" - great remorse is the resultant reaction of the one who is punished in this way That which is evident is that all who do not live the life, lose their inheritance in the kingdom of God along with the hypocrites and incur the same judgment as of the unbelievers. With this, the rest of scripture agrees. "But fornication and all uncleanness of covetousness let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Messiah and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore, do not be partakers with them." Ephesians 5: 3- 7 "Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are adultery, fornication (sexual relationship outside of marriage), uncleanness ( moral impurity), lewdness (lustfulness, wantonness, lasciviousness), idolatry (worship of things or people (Christmas and Easter)- identities & ideologies), sorcery (all involvement in occultic, psychic or witchcraft practices), hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions (divisions), heresies (doctrine contrary to foundational principles), envy (coveting), murders, drunkenness, revelries and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I told you in times past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God." Galatians 5:19-21 "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. (Lit. 'led astray') Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals (sexual abusers), nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Corinthians 6: 9-10 "For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift (salvation), and have become partakers of the Roach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) and have tasted the good Word of Yehovah and the powers of the world to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of Yehovah (Messiah), and put Him to an open shame." Hebrews 6: 4-6 The warnings are there to caution us and to guard us against being overcome by the deceptions of the enemy. "But beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes things that concern salvation, though we speak in this manner." Hebrews 6: 9 Judgment upon all sin is certain, "But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah." 1 Thessalonians 5: 8, 9 "Wherefore are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises, so that through these you might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." 2 Peter 1: 4"Be diligent to be found in Him in peace, without spot and blameless." 2 Peter 3:14

Furthermore, Scripture also declares that obeying God's commands is not an unreasonable burden for believers . Why? Because Scripture says that His commandments are not burdensome 1John 5:3 The Walk of Yeshua Test: Walk Imitation Metric “He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.” — 1 John 2:6 Many modern doctrines invite us to accept $Yeshua$ as Savior but encourage us to ignore His actual life. They teach that the physical way He walked—Sabbath keeping, scriptural clean eating, celebrating biblical feast days, and honoring the Father's Law—is obsolete. This simple 6-question diagnostic directly compares your daily walk with the footsteps of $Yeshua$. Part 1: The 6 Footstep Questions Review these six aspects of the Messiah's physical life on earth. Ask yourself honestly: Do you walk as He walked, or do you walk differently? Footstep 1: The Sabbath Custom The Footstep: $Yeshua$’s weekly custom was to rest and honor the Father’s Seventh-day Sabbath ($Shabbat$, Saturday). Do you follow this same rhythm, or do you observe Sunday / believe the Sabbath is irrelevant? Option A : I Walk As He Walked (Yes, keeping the seventh-day Sabbath) Option B: I Walk Differently (I keep Sunday, any day, or no day) Footstep 2: The Table of Yeshua The Footstep: $Yeshua$ maintained biblical clean eating as laid out in Leviticus 11, abstaining from unclean items like pork or shellfish. Do you follow His dietary separation, or do you eat unclean foods? Option A: I Walk As He Walked (I only eat biblically clean foods) Option B: I Walk Differently (I eat pork, shellfish, or other unclean foods) Footstep 3: The Holy Feasts The Footstep: $Yeshua$ traveled to celebrate the Father's Appointed Times ($Moedim$ like Passover, Tabernacles, Weeks). Do you celebrate these biblically established prophetic times, or do you substitute them with pagan-originated holidays? Option A: I Walk As He Walked (I celebrate the Father's Appointed Feasts) Option B: I Walk Differently (I celebrate Christmas, Easter, or no biblical feasts) Footstep 4: The Physical Remembrance The Footstep: $Yeshua$ wore tassels ($tzitzit$) on the corners of His garments as commanded in Numbers 15 (which a bleeding woman touched in Matthew 9:20). Do you wear physical reminders of God's law as He did? Option A: I Walk As He Walked (Yes, I utilize physical reminders of the Law) Option B: I Walk Differently (I do not use physical reminders of the Law) Footstep 5: The Authority of the Torah The Footstep: $Yeshua$ declared He did not come to destroy the Law ($Torah$), but to fulfill it (fully preach, reveal, and live it). Do you believe the $Torah$ is still the binding standard of righteousness for your walk today? Option A: I Walk As He Walked (Yes, the Torah remains the eternal standard) Option B: I Walk Differently (I believe the Law has been abolished or is obsolete) Footstep 6: Traditions vs. The Word The Footstep : $Yeshua$ exposed and rejected human religious traditions that invalidated God's literal words. Do you reject church dogmas that bypass written scriptural commands, or do you prioritize denominational habits? Option A : I Walk As He Walked (I reject human traditions that contradict Scripture) Option B : I Walk Differently (I prioritize denominational traditions or church customs) Part 2: The Diagnostic Verdicts Count your responses to determine your level of alignment with the Walk of the Messiah. 🏆 80% to 100% Aligned (5 to 6 "Walk As He Walked" Answers) Verdict: Restoring the Ancient Paths Praise the Father! Your walk reflects a profound commitment to walk as $Yeshua$ walked. By aligning your time, your table, and your actions with His instructions, your spiritual mirror is facing the Creator, restoring your scriptural sight and hearing. ⚖️ 40% to 79% Aligned (3 to 4 "Walk As He Walked" Answers) Verdict: A Divided Reflection You are beginning to see the value in $Yeshua$’s Hebrew walk, but traditional dogmas are still holding parts of your mirror captive. You may agree with parts of the $Torah$, but you are still letting church conditioning dictate how you worship. 🚨 Under 40% Aligned (0 to 2 "Walk As He Walked" Answers) Verdict: A Traditional Detour While you may sincerely love $Yeshua$, your physical daily walk is almost completely different from His. You are honoring a traditional church template that has replaced the $Torah$ with human dogmas— leaving you with eyes that cannot see the value of His commandments. Part 3: Scriptural Walk Proofs Here are the literal scriptural blueprints verifying exactly how the Messiah lived and walked: The Sabbath Pattern: Scripture: Luke 4:16 / Exodus 20:8 The Truth: $Yeshua$’s weekly custom was the seventh-day Sabbath. If we claim to live in Him, our resting pattern should reflect His weekly standard, not a replacement day authorized by Constantine. The Table Boundaries: Scripture: Leviticus 11:1-47 / Matthew 5:17 The Truth: $Yeshua$ never ate unclean animals. He kept the Father's separation laws. Bypassing dietary restrictions copies the surrounding culture rather than His set-apart image. The Prophetic Calendar: Scripture: Luke 22:15 / Leviticus 23 The Truth: $Yeshua$ kept God's feasts, which act as a prophetic calendar pointing to His redemption. Reversing this walk to celebrate syncretistic holidays tilts your mirror away from Him. The Fringes of Obedience: Scripture: Matthew 9:20 / Numbers 15:38-39 The Truth: $Yeshua$ wore physical tassels ($tzitzit$) as tools to guard His eyes from slipping into worldly idolatry. Honoring this physical instruction keeps us aligned with His exact posture. The Eternal Law: Scripture: Matthew 5:17-19 / 1 John 5:3 The Truth: $Yeshua$ stated that anyone who teaches that the least of God's commandments is done away with will be called least in the Kingdom. He established the $Torah$ as eternal, loving instruction. Dismantling Traditions: Scripture: Mark 7:8-9 / Colossians 2:8 The Truth: $Yeshua$ vehemently opposed letting "the traditions of men" override the written commandments of the Father. If we walk as He did, we must throw out any church rule that contradicts Scripture. 1 Peter 2:21 For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps. James 2:17 We cannot claim we have faith in the truth of the Word of God and live our lives against it in practic e.: 1 Peter 2:21 For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in His steps. ● John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life!" Yeshua answered. "Without me, no one can go to the Father. Matthew 22:13 Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14 For many are called, but few are chosen.” John 3:36 And anyone who believes in God's Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn't obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remain under God's angry judgment. 1 John 1:6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth What we do is the evidence of what we believe internally. Our actions define for others our inward beliefs. 1 John 2:.3 Now by this we know that we know Him if we keep His commandments. 4 He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 5 But whoever keeps His word, truly the love of God [a]is perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him. 6 He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked ● John 14:23 Yeshua replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them.” ● John 14:24 Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Fathers who sent me John 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: John 15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Matthew 16:24 Then said Yeshua unto his disciples, if any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [that] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you. Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. Hebrews 10:26-27 For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. ● John 3:3 Yeshua answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again; he cannot see the kingdom of God.” In the next verse, Yehovah is telling us that sinning is to not keep His commandments . By this the children of God and the children of the devil can be distinguished: So according to scripture; whose child, are you? 1 John 3:4 Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness. Indeed, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that Christ appeared to take away sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 No one who remains in Him keeps on sinning. No one who continues (practice) to sin has seen Him or known Him. 7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Christ is righteous. 8 The one who practices sin is of the devil because the devil has been sinning from the very start. This is why the Son of God was revealed, to destroy the works of the devil. 9 Anyone born of God refuses to practice sin because God’s seed abides in him; he cannot go on sinning , because he has been born of God. 10 By this the children of God and the children of the devil can be distinguished: Anyone who does not practice righteousness is not of God, nor is anyone who doesn't love his brother. Matthew 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’…23 Then I will tell them plainly, “I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness. 22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him because we keep His commandments and do those things that are pleasing in His sight. The popular Christian teaching about "righteousness by faith" is that God's righteousness is "imputed" in those who "believe" in "Yeshua." In other words, in their view the righteousness which the believer has is a "theoretical" righteousness - you don't actually have to be living in a righteous way to be seen by God as "righteous". They say, "When God looks at you, he sees the righteousness of Christ because you are in Christ" John makes it very clear about those who are considered righteous in the Almighty's sight, by making this simple-to-understand statement: John 3:19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.” The Sword of the Gospel, Not Peace, But Division Luke 12:51 Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on, five in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.” James 1:2 But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. Definition of transgress; To violate a command or law: SIN: to go beyond a boundary or limit. To go beyond limits set or prescribed by: VIOLATE transgress divine law. So, this is your question, do you practice sin? Do you keep Yehovah’s laws? So then, by their fruit, you will recognize them? 1 John 3:7 Little children, let no one deceive you: The one who practices righteousness is righteous, just as Yeshua is righteous. It doesn't get any easier to understand than that. There is no question in what The Son of the living God said or did. Yehovah’s words and His Son’s actions need no human to interpret them.

Acts 2:29 “Men and brethren, let me speak freely to you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. 30 Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne, 31 he, foreseeing this, spoke concerning the resurrection of the Christ, that His soul was not left in Hades, nor did His flesh see corruption. 32 This Yeshua God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses. 33 Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.34 For David did not ascend into heaven, but he himself says: ‘The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at My Right hand, The verses below describe when we die, we go to the grave and await the resurrection . ● John 5:28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. Revelation 20:4 Then I saw the thrones, and those seated on them had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony of Yeshua and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or hands. And they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Revelation 20:5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these, the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years. John 5:24 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life. 25 Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God; and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in Himself, so He has granted the Son to have life in Himself, 27 and has given Him authority to execute judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. 28 Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice 29 and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. 30 I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous because I do not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. Daniel 12:2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt.3 Those who are wise shall shine. John 11:23 Yeshua said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”24 Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Yeshua said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” Act 4:1 Now as they spoke to the people, the priests, the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees came upon them, 2 being greatly disturbed that they taught the people and preached in Yeshua the resurrection from the dead. Acts 23:6 But when Paul perceived that one part were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, “Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee; concerning the hope and resurrection of the dead I am being judged!” ● Act 24:15-16 I have hope in God, which they themselves also accept, that there will be a resurrection of the dead, both just and the unjust. 16 This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men. ● 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14) For since we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, we also believe that Yehovah will bring with Yeshua those who have fallen asleep in Him. 15) For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.16 For the Yeshua Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17) Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so, shall we ever be with the Lord. 18) Wherefore comfort one another wit h these words” What did Jesus say about a man going to heaven? John 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. Is King David, a man after God’s heart, in heaven? Acts 2:34 For David is not ascended into the heavens... Is King David still in the grave? Acts 2:29 Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulcher is with us unto this day What did Jesus say about those dead in the grave? John 5:28 Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice. What did Jesus call this event when all that are dead would hear His voice? John 5:29 and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of judgment. (ASV) At the resurrection, will you live forever? Luke 20:36 Neither can they die anymore: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

Yehovah gave us a set of instructions He called the Torah. The Torah consists of the first five books of the bible. There are approximately 600 instructions in the Torah, some for men, some for women, some for Priests, some for children and others pertaining to the temple. The Complete Jewish Bible CJB Gods Commands 613 OT and 1050 NT Gods Instructions God’s Promises to Those Who Keep His Commands The Ten Commandments: God's Law of Love Video Marathon: The Ten Commandments 613 Laws of God Don't Just Hear Torah, Live Torah The purpose of life Torah video There is now one single law that rules both Jew and Greek alike: One law for Jews and Greeks: faith in the crucified and risen Jesus. That is why Paul can say in the very next breath after “neither Jew nor Greek”: “You are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:28–29). Same promise. Same inheritance. Same law. No exceptions. No special tracks. This is what the Bible define sin Breaking the Sabbath? Yes (Exodus 20:8) — By working, shopping, or doing regular business on the 7th day. Gossip or Talebearing? Yes (Leviticus 19:16) — By sharing rumors or venting about others behind their backs. Dishonest Business/Time? Yes (Deuteronomy 25:13-15) — By cutting corners on the job or cheating an employer on hours. Holding a Grudge? Yes (Leviticus 19:18) — By keeping a mental scorecard or harboring hidden bitterness. Showing Favoritism? Yes (James 2:9) — By treating someone better because of their wealth or social status. Tuning Out God's Commands? Yes (Proverbs 28:9) — By actively closing your ears to the Law, which makes even your prayers detestable. Willful Ignorance? Yes (Leviticus 5:17) — By breaking a command even if you claim you "didn't realize" it; the Bible still holds you accountable. Refusing to Listen to Warning? Yes (Zechariah 7:11-12) — By stopping up the ears and making the heart like flint so the words of the Law cannot get through. Forgetting the Law Over Time? Yes (Hosea 4:6) — By neglecting to study or pass down the commandments until they are forgotten entirely. Replacing the Messiah's True Hebrew Name? Yes (Jeremiah 23:27, Exodus 23:13) — By substituting the original Hebrew name Yeshua (which means "Yahweh is Salvation") with translated names, which many scriptural literalists argue obscures His true identity, lineage, and the Hebrew roots of the faith. General Disobedience to God's Commandments? (1 John 3:4, Matthew 19:17) — By walking in intentional lawlessness and choosing not to live according to the rules and instructions laid out by the Father. Ignoring God's Appointed Days (Feasts/Moedim)? (Leviticus 23, Numbers 29:40) — By bypassing or replacing the set-apart calendar dates God specifically called "My Feasts" and commanded His people to keep forever. Instead keeping Pagan Christmas and Easter Violating God's Dietary/Food Laws? Yes (Leviticus 11, Deuteronomy 14) — By eating animals that God explicitly designated as unclean and forbidden, which defiles the body He called to be set apart. Teaching against obedience to God’s commandments is a betrayal of His Word because it directly undermines His authority in four ways: It Erases the Definition of Sin: Scripture explicitly defines sin as "the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). If you throw out the Law, you destroy the only boundary that defines right from wrong. It Defies Yeshua’s Direct Warning: The Messiah specifically warned that anyone who breaks the commandments and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom (Matthew 5:19).If "least" literally meant a low-ranking person inside the Kingdom, Yeshua would be saying that a carnal, commandment-breaking believer is somehow spiritually superior to John the Baptist. That makes no sense. But if "least" means the person who hasn't even entered yet (the mortal believer still waiting on the outside), the phrase makes perfect sense. Conclusion: Sin is the transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4) , then the key question is whether a particular action violates a command of God as revealed in Scripture. Therefore, determining what is or is not sin should come from God's Word rather than personal opinion, tradition, culture, or majority belief. If God commands it, obedience is righteousness; if God forbids it, disobedience is sin. The standard is not what people think, but what God has spoken. Spiritual separation from God: "Your iniquities have separated you from your God" (Isaiah 59:2). Ongoing sin creates distance in your relationship with God. Guilt, shame, and inner torment: Many people describe a heavy conscience, anxiety, or spiritual emptiness. Damaged character and bondage: Yeshua said, "Everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin" (John 8:34). Habits of lying, lust, anger, greed, etc., get stronger and harder to break. Earthly consequences: Broken relationships, health issues (e.g., from sexual sin, addiction, violence), financial ruin, loss of reputation, and legal problems. Eternal consequences: The New Testament warns that unrepentant, ongoing sin leads to spiritual death and hell (Romans 6:23 – "The wages of sin is death"). However, genuine repentance and faith Yeshua brings forgiveness. The Greatest Commandment And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.… And you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 2 Timothy 3:16 After the Ten Commandments, God gave the Israelites a vast body of laws, traditionally summarized as the Law of Moses, or the Torah. These laws, found primarily in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, provided a comprehensive framework for the Israelites' religious, social, and civil life. Jewish tradition holds that there are 613 commandments (known as the mitzvot) within this law. These commandments are often categorized into three main groups: Moral Laws: These are the ethical principles that reflect God's character and are universally applicable. The Ten Commandments are the core of this category, but it also includes principles like "love your neighbor as yourself" and prohibitions against gossip and injustice. Ceremonial Laws: These laws pertained to religious rituals and worship, designed to set the Israelites apart and teach them about holiness and atonement. They include instructions on: Sacrifices and Offerings: Detailed rules for different types of sacrifices for sin, peace, and thanksgiving. The Priesthood: Regulations for the priests (the tribe of Levi) and their duties in the Tabernacle. Festivals and Holy Days: Observances for events like Passover, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles. Dietary Laws: The rules of kosher (clean and unclean) foods. Civil (or Judicial) Laws: These laws governed the daily life of the Israelite community and dealt with matters of justice, property, and social order. They were designed to create a just and compassionate society and included regulations on: Judicial Procedures: Rules for fair trials, the need for multiple witnesses, and punishments for various crimes. Property Rights: Laws concerning theft, damage, and inheritance. Social Justice: Specific protections for the poor, widows, orphans, and foreigners, reflecting God's concern for the vulnerable. The purpose of this extensive legal code was to establish Israel as a "kingdom of priests and a holy nation," distinct from the surrounding pagan cultures. The laws were not simply a list of rules, but a means to guide the Israelites in their covenant relationship with God and to prepare them for life in the Promised Land. Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. 18 For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.… The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; NIV The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. Psalms 19:7 The decrees of Yehovah are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The commandments of Yehovah are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of Yehovah are clear, giving insight into living. Reverence for Yehovah is pure, lasting forever. The laws of Yehovah are true; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. Psalm 19:7 The one who belongs listens and responds to Yehovah's words. If you don't listen and respond , it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47 Some say that God's promises to those who obey him include: Being blessed Being saved Being watched over Being taken care of Being given what you ask for Being happy Living longer Lacking nothing good Proverbs 28:9 He who turns away his ear from listening to the law, even his prayer is an abomination. Ecclesiastes 12:13 That's the whole story. Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone's duty. Romans 2:13 For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified. 1 John 2:4 I f anyone says, “I know Him,” but does not keep His Commandments, he is a liar, and the truth is not in him . 5 But if anyone keeps His word, the love of God has been truly perfected in him. By this we know that we are in Him: … The Torah Nothing in the law of Yehovah has been removed, ended, destroyed, deleted, or applied differently whether Jew or Gentile (Christian) Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, God will take away from that person any share in the Tree of Life and blot your name from the Book of Life. Revelation 22:18-19 DEUTERONOMY 4:2 Yehovah provided us with a complete foundation for living through His Torah—the first five books of the Bible. Within these scriptures are 613 instructions, perfectly complemented by over 1,500 commands in the New Covenant writings as lived out and taught by Yeshua. These instructions are tailored for every walk of life—some for men, some for women, others for parents, children, priests, and temple service. As the following verses reveal, Yehovah places choices before us that carry profound, eternal consequences. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-1721 (The “Old” and “New” Testaments are man’s separation of God’s word; the entire Bible is God’s instructions for how to love Him and our fellow man. And it applies to everyone) THE FINAL JUDGMENT "He that rejects Me and doesn't receive my words has one that judges him: the WORD THAT I HAVE SPOKEN, the same shall judge him in the last day." John 12:48 If men refuse to accept God's judgment of sin at Calvary in Messiah and refuse to judge themselves by that Word which is the only infallible standard, then there only remains the penalty for their sin, which is judgment to destruction. Eternal death is the consequence of sin upon unregenerate man. And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day? Deuteronomy 4:8 ● All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 This command I am giving you today is not too difficult for you to understand, and it is not beyond your reach. Deuteronomy 30:11 God said He doesn't lie or change His mind and His Son made it clear that God’s doctrine is not His to change. If anyone makes the claim that God’s law was changed aren't they calling God a liar? Numbers 23:19 For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore, ye sons of Jacob are not consumed Malachi 3:6 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken John 10:35 The instructions of Yehovah are perfect, reviving the soul. The decrees of the LORD are trustworthy, making wise the simple. 8 The commandments of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are clear, giving insight for living. 9 Reverence for the LORD is pure, lasting forever. The laws of the LORD are true; each one is fair.10 They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb.11 They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. Psalms 19:7 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people. Jeremiah 33:31 ● I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Ezekiel 36:26-27 1 Thessalonians 2:13 And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word, but as it actually is, the word of God, which is indeed at work in you who believe ● Ecclesiastes 12:14 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Proverbs 28:9 He that turned away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. 1 John 3:4 Everyone who practices sin practices lawlessness (evil) as well. Indeed, sin is lawlessness. Exodus 12:49"The same law shall apply to the natives to the stranger who sojourns among you." Deuteronomy 30:20 That you may love the Yehovah your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the Yehovah swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.” Ezekiel 18:24 “The righteous behavior of righteous people will not save them if they turn to sin (sin is transgression of the law) nor will the wicked behavior of wicked people destroy them if they repent and turn from their sins. (and are baptized) ● John 14:15 If you love Me, you will keep My commandments. Matthew 23:1 Then Yeshua spoke to the crowds and to His disciples: 2“The scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So practice and observe everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach ● 1 Timothy 1:8 Now we know that the Law is good if one uses it legitimately Psalm 19: 7 The law (Torah)of the Yehovah is 7 is perfect, giving new strength to the soul. The Law He has made known is sure, making the child-likewise. 8 The Laws of the Yehovah are right, giving joy to the heart. The Word of the Yehovah is pure, giving light to the eyes. The “scripture” Timothy refers to is what many people call the Old Testament, the New Testament was not yet written. 2 Peter 1:20-21 But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation. Proverbs 10:8 The wise will receive commandments, but a babbling fool will come to ruin Most people believe that the law was only for the Jews or that it was nailed to the cross, however, Yehovah said: Below is a chart showing important people from the beginning of time, the chart identifies whether they were Jewish, and did they followed Yehovah laws and statutes. They would be called true Israel. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Yehovah is Elohim God of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him; 13 for “WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE YEHOVAH WILL BE SAVE D.

The following prophetic Scriptures speak about a coming greater Exodus of the Children of Israel (all 12 tribes) from among all the nations of the Earth. God will gather all his children (Israel) from among all the nations where we have been scattered and will return us to the Land of Israel. Passover and The Second Exodus The greater Exodus part 1-2-3 video Greater exodus part 2 Eddie Chummney To the Church in Philadelphia 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth. To the Church in Laodicea, This church will go through the tribulation 14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. Prophetic Regathering of Israel (Biblical/Jewish perspective): Many biblical prophets, particularly in the Old Testament, speak of a future, even greater, regathering of the scattered people of Israel from "all nations" where they have been dispersed due to sin. This is distinct from the return from Babylonian exile, as the prophecies often refer to a worldwide dispersion. This "second exodus" or "greater exodus" involves the reunification of all twelve tribes, including the "lost" ten tribes of the northern kingdom, and their return to the land of Israel. This event is often tied to the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of God's kingdom on Earth. The Second Exodus This expansion weaves the foundational promise of the physical return to the Land (the gathering from the four corners of the earth) into the diagnostic structure. It contrasts the prophetic reality of a literal, physical return to the soil of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob with the spiritualized, hands-off view that treats the Promised Land as a mere metaphor. 📋 The "Gathered from the Nations" Return Test Instructions: Answer these 4 simple questions to see if your vision of the final restoration matches the physical, literal return promised by the prophets, or if you are looking at the land through a filtered, allegorical lens. Question 1: The Literal Soil of the Promise In Amos 9:15, Yehovah makes an uncompromising declaration: "I will plant them in their land, and no longer shall they be pulled up from the land I have given them." When you read about the land given to Abraham's seed, what does that space mean to you? A) You see it as literal, physical soil—the specific geography on the mountains of Israel where the King will physically rule and where His gathered people will build houses and plant vineyards. B) You spiritualize the Land away, treating it as a metaphor for "heaven," an internal state of mind, or a generic religious concept that requires no physical connection to the Middle East. Question 2: The Purpose of the Exile's End When the Father promises to "bring back the captives of My people Israel" and gather them out of the nations where they were sifted (Amos 9:14, Jeremiah 31:33), what is the primary indicator that a person has been spiritually prepared for that physical return? A) They have already returned to the laws of the Land. Before their feet ever touch the dirt of Israel, their hearts have submitted to the King’s calendar, His diet, and His Seventh-Day Sabbath. B) They want the benefits of the inheritance without the rules of the household, assuming they can be gathered into the holy Land while stubbornly clinging to the pagan traditions and lawless lifestyles of the nations. Question 3: Building the Waste Cities vs. Modern Comfort The prophet states that when they return, "They shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; they shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them" (Amos 9:14). How does this call to physical restoration intersect with your daily focus? A) You view your current life as a training ground, learning the agricultural, dietary, and covenant patterns of the Torah today so you are ready to be a productive citizen of the restored Kingdom tomorrow. B) You are fully invested in building and securing your own comfort within the modern Babylonian system, giving little thought to the literal restoration of the desolate places of Israel. Question 4: The Voice That Gathers The text concludes with the absolute authority of the Caller: "'Says the LORD your God'" (Amos 9:15). When the final trumpet sounds to gather the scattered remnants of Israel back to the borders of the Promise, what kind of flock will answer the call? A) A unified, clean flock that recognizes the voice of the One Shepherd because they have spent their lives practicing His walk (1 John 2:6) and obeying His statutes. B) A confused, mixed multitude that gets left behind because they spent their lives arguing that the Shepherd's voice, His Torah, and His physical Land were obsolete relics of the past. The Sovereign Verdict: Review your final selections. If your checkboxes continue to look for excuses (B), the mirror provides one last warning. Our Father is not looking for spiritual tourists to inhabit a metaphorical kingdom; He is gathering a physical, cleansed nation back to a literal, covenant Land. You cannot truly pray for the return of Israel if you are actively rejecting the very Torah, Sabbath, and identity that defines her. The "Throne of David & The Remnant" Test Instructions: Answer these 4 final questions to determine if your heart is truly prepared to submit to the literal, resurrected King David and the physical restoration of the Tribes of Israel, or if you are clinging to a sanitized, comfortable version of the future. Question 5: The Literal Prince Forever In Ezekiel 37:24–25, Yehovah makes a clear, physical promise: "David My servant shall be king over them... and My servant David shall be their prince forever." When you read this plain scriptural text, how do you handle the literal reality of David’s future resurrected authority? A) You take the Father at His Word. You accept that the historical King David will literally be resurrected to rule on this physical earth as the prince and under-shepherd beneath the Messiah, maintaining perfect order according to the Torah. B) You spiritualize or gloss over the passage because a literal, resurrected David ruling over a physical, Torah-keeping nation doesn't fit into your modern, hands-off view of "heaven in the clouds." Question 6: The Gathering of the Lost Identity The prophets declare that the Father will gather the outcasts of Israel and the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth (Amos 9:9, Ezekiel 37:22). When you look at your own ancestry and identity, where do you place your loyalty? A) You realize that through the blood of Christ, you have been brought near to the Commonwealth of Israel. Your primary identity is no longer your Gentile nationality or Western church culture; you are an incorporated citizen of the literal Tribes of Israel, bound to her laws. B) You view yourself proudly as a "Gentile Christian" who is separate from Israel, treating the gathering of the literal twelve tribes as a side-project that has nothing to do with your personal walk, lifestyle, or diet. Question 7: The Standard of the Royal Court King David wrote extensively in Psalm 119 about his deep, burning love for the Law: "Oh, how I love Your law! It is my meditation all the day... Your word is a lamp to my feet." If you expect to dwell in a Kingdom where David is the Prince forever, how does your current view of the Torah compare to his? A) You share David's heart. You look at the Sabbaths, the clean dietary laws, and the statutes as a beautiful delight, actively practicing them now so you are in harmony with the royal court of the Kingdom. B) You view the very Law that David loved as a "dead burden" or "legalism," creating a bizarre scenario where you expect to inherit a Kingdom ruled by a Prince whose entire life, passion, and government are based on instructions you reject. Question 8: The Sieve of the Nations In Amos 9:9, the Father states that He will sift the house of Israel among all nations "as grain is sifted in a sieve; yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground." As the world plunges deeper into lawlessness, how is this sifting manifesting in your life today? A) You are being separated out of the world. The sifting is stripping away the pagan holidays, the lawless lifestyle, and the human traditions you inherited, leaving you as pure grain aligned with the Word of God. B) You are slipping straight through the mesh of the sieve, blending seamlessly into the culture around you because you look, eat, rest, and celebrate exactly like the rest of the world. The Sovereign Verdict: Look back over the entire diagnostic check. If your answers consistently chose B, the mirror has delivered its final, sobering reality check. Our Father is not staging a metaphorical rescue for a lukewarm, lawless church that ignores His instructions. He is executing an iron-clad covenant promise to gather a physical, cleansed, twelve-tribe nation back to literal soil—to be ruled by one Shepherd and governed by a resurrected King David who loves the Torah. You cannot truly say you love the King if you are actively spending your life resisting the very laws, the very King, and the very nation He is coming to establish forever. " Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are on the sinful kingdom, And I will destroy it from the face of the earth, yet I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob," Says the LORD. " For I will surely command, And will sift the house of Israel among all nations, As grain is sifted in a sieve; Yet not the smallest grain shall fall to the ground. Who Is Involved in the Greater Exodus? All of God’s people—both Jews and Gentiles who are grafted in through faith (see Romans 11)—are seen as participants. Many believe it includes a physical return to the Land of Israel and a spiritual return to God’s covenant ways. Ezekiel 36:24-29 I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. Then you shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; you shall be My people, and I will be your God. I will deliver you from all your uncleanness. I will call for the grain and multiply it and bring no famine upon you. Amos 9:11-15 “ On that day I will raise up The tabernacle of David, which has fallen down, And repair its damages; I will raise up its ruins, And rebuild it as in the days of old; That they may possess the remnant of Edom, And all the Gentiles who are called by My name,” Says the LORD who does this thing. Behold, the days are coming,' says the LORD, ' When the plowman shall overtake the reaper, And the reaper of grapes him who sows seed; The mountains shall drip with sweet wine, And all the hills shall flow with it. I will bring back the captives of My people Israel; T hey shall build the waste cities and inhabit them; They shall plant vineyards and drink wine from them; They shall also make gardens and eat fruit from them. I will plant them in their land, and no longer shall they be pulled up From the land, I have given them,” Says the LORD your God. Jeremiah 31:31-34 "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD. But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, "Know the LORD," for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more." Isaiah 27:12-13 And it shall come to pass in that day That the LORD will thresh, (page 28) From the channel of the River to the Brook of Egypt; And you will be gathered one by one, O you children of Israel. So it shall be in that day: The great trumpet will be blown; They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria, And they who are outcasts in the land of Egypt, And shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem. Jeremiah 16:14-15 “Therefore behold, the days are coming,” says the LORD, “that it shall no more be said, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of Egypt,’ but, ‘The LORD lives who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north and from all the lands where He had driven them.’ For I will bring them back into their land which I gave to their fathers. Ezekiel 11:17-20 Therefore say, "Thus says the Lord GOD: "I will gather you from the people, assemble you from the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel." And they will go there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there. Then I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them, and take the stony heart out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh, that they may walk in My statutes and keep My judgments and do them; and they shall be My people, and I will be their God (page 36) Ezekiel 37:22-28and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions, but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God. “David My servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes and do them. Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children’s children, forever; and My servant David shall be their prince forever. Moreover , I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed, I will be their God, and they shall be My people. The nations also will know that I, the LORD, sanctify Israel when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.”’” Amos 9:8-9 One Nation with One King Ezekiel 37:25…24 My servant David will be king over them, and there will be one shepherd for all of them. They will follow My ordinances and keep and observe My statutes. 25They will live in the land that I gave to My servant Jacob, where your fathers lived. They will live there forever with their children and grandchildren, and My servant David will be their prince forever. 26And I will make a covenant of peace with them; it will be an everlasting covenant. I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary among them forever.…

- Jesus Declare All Food Clean, | Answers4saints.com
Mark 7 There is no such thing as unclean food! You will not find any definition of what is food in the new testament, only in the book of Leviticus, God's food laws it is not optional, The translators added (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) Jesis declared all food clean That Which Defiles Test — Answers from Mark 7 1.Did the Pharisees question Yeshua because His disciples ate with unwashed hands? (Mark 7:5) Yes 2.Does Scripture say the washing was a tradition of the elders ? (Mark 7:3) Yes 3.Did Yeshua say, "You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions "? (Mark 7:8) Yes 4.Did Yeshua quote Isaiah, saying, "Their teachings are merely human rules" ? (Mark 7:7) Yes 5.Did Yeshua say that nothing entering a person from outside can defile them? (Mark 7:15) Yes 6.Did Yeshua say that what comes out of a person is what defiles them? (Mark 7:20) Yes 7.Does Mark 7:2 identify the issue as eating with defiled (unwashed) hands ? Yes 8.Does Mark 7:3 state that the practice came from the tradition of the elders ? Yes Summary from the Passage The subject raised by the Pharisees was eating with unwashed hands (Mark 7:2, 5). The washing was identified as a tradition of the elders (Mark 7:3). Yeshua rebuked those who held to human traditions while neglecting God's commandments (Mark 7:7–8). Yeshua taught that what proceeds from the heart defiles a person (Mark 7:20–23). Defile means to make something unclean, impure, polluted, or contaminated. In Mark 7, Yeshua explained that true defilement is not caused by eating with unwashed hands , but by the sinful things that come from the heart. "There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him... but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man." (Mark 7:15) Yeshua later explained: "For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things come from within, and defile the man." (Mark 7:21–23) Biblical Meaning of Defile Ceremonially unclean – made unclean according to ritual laws (Leviticus). Morally defiled – corrupted by sin, evil thoughts, and disobedience. Spiritually defiled – polluted before God by wickedness and idolatry. In Mark 7 The Pharisees were concerned about defiled hands (unwashed according to tradition). Yeshua directed attention to a greater issue: A person's heart can be defiled by sin, and that defilement comes from within. (Mark 7:20–23) That Which Defiles 1 The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus 2 and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. 3 (The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders. 4 When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers, and kettles. a ) 5 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, “Why don’t your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?” 6 He replied, “Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written: “ ‘These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. 7 They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.’ b 8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions.” 9 And he continued, “You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe c your own traditions! 10 For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and mother,’ d and, ‘Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.’ e 11 But you say that if anyone declares that what might have been used to help their father or mother is Corban (that is, devoted to God)— 12 then you no longer let them do anything for their father or mother. 13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.” 14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, “Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. 15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them.” [16] f 17 After he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about this parable. 18 “Are you so dull?” he asked. “Don’t you see that nothing that enters a person from the outside can defile them? 19 For it doesn’t go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body.” (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) There is nothing to indicate changing the Gods food restrictions. it was about washing before eating man made traditions. check Leviticus for classification of animals that are created to be scavengers all these animals carry bacteria and unfit for consumption . They eat dead animals. Jesus declared all food clean was added to this verse not what Yeshua said The biblical instruction to not add to or take away from God's word is found in both the Old and New Testaments. It serves as a solemn warning against distorting, altering, or misrepresenting divine truth. [Revelation 22:18-19: Deuteronomy 4:2 Mark 7 There is no such thing as unclean food! You will not find any definition of what is food in the new testament, only in the book of Leviticus, God's food laws it is not optional, The translators added (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.) What Defiles a Person For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, that defiled man. Supporting facts He gave a parable that Yeshua was disappointed with His disciples for not understand. (Thus he declared all foods clean.) this was added to the text, If he said this it would have shown he was not the messiah because he would have sinned,the messiah was without sin.
- 21 steps to salvation | Answers 4 Saints
21 Steps to Salvation Calvinism vs Arminianism bottom of page click on God cannot stand the prayers of anyone who disobeys his Law. Proverbs 28:9 In Isaiah 66:15-17, we see that in the context of the Lord’s return, when He returns, He is clearly upset that people are eating pork. If He cares then, why would we assume that He does not care now? 1. Hear the True Gospel The first step of the build is listening to the unfiltered, original message of God. “From that time Yeshua began to preach and to say, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’” — Matthew 4:17 “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” — John 8:32 What this means: You cannot build a straight wall if you are reading a warped blueprint. Hearing the true Gospel means listening to the actual Word of God—not human traditions, clever shortcuts, or watered-down messages that just make people feel good in the pew. It is the moment you hear the real standard for the very first time. 2. Believe the True Gospel True belief is not just agreeing with facts; it is placing your absolute confidence and weight on the message. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” — Hebrews 11:6 What this means: Believing means you look at the plumb line and say, "That string is perfectly straight, and I trust it completely." It is an inner conviction that drives you to action. If you don't truly believe the blueprint is accurate, you will never bother to change how you are laying your bricks. 3. Repent of Past Sins Repentance is a deliberate, U-turn in direction. It means stopping your lawlessness and turning back toward the Law of God. “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” — Luke 13:3 What this means: Since 1 John 3:4 tells us that sin is breaking God's law, your old wall was naturally leaning and crooked. Repentance is the moment you drop your tools, admit your wall is out of line, and make a firm decision to tear down the old, lawless way of living so you can rebuild it straight. 4. Confess Faith in Yeshua Messiah Confession is the public declaration of who is in charge of your building site. “For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” — Romans 10:10 What this means: Confession is nailing your colors to the mast. It means standing up and declaring out loud to the world, to the adversary, and to the assembly: "Yeshua is my Master, and I am building my life on His foundation from this day forward." 5. Be Baptized Baptism is the physical and spiritual washing away of the rubble from your old life. “Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Yeshua Messiah for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’” — Acts 2:38 What this means: Going under the water is the formal burial of the old, crooked structure. You don't build a new house on top of old trash. You clear the lot. Baptism washes away the stain of past lawlessness so you can step out of the water onto a clean, solid foundation. 6. Be Faithful Unto Death Loyalty to the Creator must be absolute, even when the pressure of the world threatens to break you. “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” — Revelation 2:10 What this means: This is the ultimate test of the structure. When the storms of persecution, sickness, or trials hit the wall, a true believer refuses to let a single brick slip. It means your loyalty to the Master Builder stays intact even if holding the line costs you your physical life. 7. Obey Him for Eternal Salvation The author of salvation specifically identifies who His work is for: those who follow His instructions. “And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.” — Hebrews 5:9 What this means: The Master Builder only claims ownership of the walls that actually followed His blueprints. Faith that refuses to obey is an illusion. Salvation belongs to the people who don't just call Him "Lord," but who actually submit to His authority and do what He asks. 8. Live Exactly as Yeshua Did The Messiah's walk on this earth is the ultimate, flawless example for our daily lives. “He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” — 1 John 2:6 What this means: Yeshua is the living plumb line. If you want to know how to treat people, how to handle temptation, or how to keep God's commands, you look at His life. If a custom or a lifestyle choice doesn't square up with how Yeshua walked, it does not belong in your wall. 9. Do What the Word Says, Don't Just Listen True faith is an active, hands-on construction project, not a spectator sport. “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” — James 1:22 What this means: Sitting in a pew and nodding along with a sermon doesn't build anything. If you know what the Bible says but don't practice it on Monday morning, you are fooling yourself. True faith requires you to pick up the trowel and actually lay the bricks according to the instructions. 10. Possess the Spirit of Christ True conversion requires the supernatural presence of the Holy Spirit living inside you. “Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” — Romans 8:9 What this means: The Holy Spirit is the gravity that keeps the plumb line straight. Without the Spirit living inside your heart, you have no power to keep the wall in line, and you don't belong to the Owner of the house. You must have His seal on the inside. 11. Receive the Holy Spirit Through Obedience God places His Spirit inside those who have a heart bent toward submission. “And we are His witnesses of these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.” — Acts 5:32 What this means: God does not pour His Holy Spirit into a vessel that intends to stay rebellious and lawless. The Spirit is given as a helper to help you keep the Law. When you step out in willingness to obey, God anchors His supernatural strength deep inside your life. 12. Call on the Name of Yeshua Messiah Deliverance and strength come from actively crying out to the authority and identity of the Son. “For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’” — Romans 10:13 What this means: When the wall is leaning, when your own strength fails, or when the enemy attacks, you don't rely on yourself. You call on the name and the legal authority of Yeshua. It is an active cry for help to the only One who has the power to hold the structure together. 13. Keep the Commandments to Enter Into Life When asked directly how to inherit eternal life, the Messiah pointed straight back to God's boundaries. “Jesus said to him... ‘If you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.’” — Matthew 19:17 What this means: Commandments are not heavy burdens; they are the side-guards that keep the wall from warping. Since sin is breaking the law, keeping the commandments is how we show we love God and want our lives to stay completely square with His righteousness. 14. Trust the Son to Not Perish Escape from the penalty of lawlessness requires absolute reliance on the sacrifice of the Messiah. “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” — John 3:15,16 What this means: No matter how hard we try to build straight, our past sins would condemn us if not for Jesus. Trusting the Son means knowing that His blood covers our imperfections and saves our structure from facing the ultimate collapse of spiritual death. 15. Walk by Faith, Not by Sight The Christian walk requires trusting God’s structural blueprint even when circumstances look dark and confusing. “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7 What this means: Sometimes the fog of life rolls in, and you can't see two feet in front of you. Walking by faith means you don't guess or look around at what everyone else is doing. You trust the plumb line in your hand because you know God's weight is true, even when your eyes can't see the top of the line. 16. Obey the Son to Avoid Angry Judgment Rejecting the instructions of the King leaves a person exposed to the holy consequences of rebellion. “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” — John 3:36 What this means: You cannot claim to believe in Jesus while actively refusing to listen to Him. Intentional disobedience is rebellion, and a wall built in open defiance of the Blueprints will eventually face inspection and be completely demolished under divine judgment 17. Be Born Again Salvation requires a radical, supernatural transformation from above—not just a superficial patch-job. “ Yeshua answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’” — John 3:3 What this means: God doesn't just want to fix a few cracks in your old wall; He wants to give you a brand-new nature. Yeshua told Nicodemus that what is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit, moving like the wind. If you claim you are already fully "born again" right now, why are you still trapped in a temporary body of flesh and blood instead of a glorified, immortal spirit body? Are you confusing the earnest promise of the Holy Spirit inside you today with the actual, physical rebirth that only happens at the resurrection of the dead? True rebirth replaces the temporary structure of flesh with an immortal house from heaven. 18. Produce Good Deeds So Faith Isn't Dead Active obedience and good fruit are the unmistakable evidence of a living faith. “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” — James 2:17 What this means: Faith is invisible until it shows up in your actions. If someone claims to be a master builder but has never laid a single brick or done a single good deed, their claim is useless. True, saving faith will always show up clearly in the work you do for God's kingdom. 19. Worship God in Spirit and Truth True service to the Father requires complete honesty, removing the masks of religious pretense. “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” — John 4:24 "What this means: This means stop pretending to be a flawless saint in the church pew if you are falling apart on the inside. Worshiping in truth means standing perfectly vertical before God, baring your soul, and saying, "Lord, here is exactly where my wall is leaning." Furthermore, Acts 5:32 states that God gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey Him. This principle emphasizes that a willing, obedient heart is a key condition for receiving and experiencing the empowering presence of the Spirit. If you do not have the Spirit of Christ, you are none of His. Because 1 John 3:4 warns that "sin is the transgression of the law," walking in the Spirit is the only way to overcome the flesh and keep from breaking God's boundaries. 20. Endure Until the End Salvation is a marathon, not a sprint. The prize is given to those who finish the entire construction project. “But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” — Matthew 24:13 What this means: It’s not about how fast you start; it’s about whether your structure stands the test of time. True believers don't pack up their tools and walk away when the culture turns against them or when things get tough. They stay on the wall, checking the line, until the project is completely finished. 21. Be Grafted Into Israel Believers from the nations are joined directly into God’s original, enduring covenant family tree. “And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree...” — Romans 11:17 What this means: You are not a lone house sitting out on an island by yourself. By faith in the Messiah, God links your life directly into the great, historic fortress of His covenant people—Israel. You share in their root, their history, their promises, and their responsibilities to the King. 3 Commonly Misunderstood Bible Questions Answered For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. Many are called but few are saved. Matthew 22:14 And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; God has pronounced that the penalty of sin is spiritual death and separation from God in a place of judgment called hell: “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). Jesus clearly taught that sinners were condemned in sin and would perish and go to hell if they didn't believe in Him as their Savior (John 3:16-18). What are the 21 steps to salvation? 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committed sin transgression also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Hear the True Gospel. (Matthew 4:17 John 8:32) Believe the True Gospel (Hebrews 11:6, John 20:31) Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30) Confess faith in Yeshua Messiah (Romans 10:10, Matthew 10:32) Be Baptized (Galatians 3:27, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38) Be faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10) For all who obey him eternal salvation Hebrews 5:9 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Yeshua did.1 John 2:6 But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. James 1:2 And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. Romans 8:1 We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.” Acts 5:32 “whoever calls on the name of the Yeshua Messiah shall be saved.Romans 10:13-15 For But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. Matthew 19:16-26 That whosoever believe i n him should not perish, but have eternal life…John 3:15,16 For we live by faith, not by sight. (Hebrews 11:6) And without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.2 Corinthians 5:7 And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’ t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.” John 3: Yeshua Messiah replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. ”John 3:3 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds , it is dead and useless. James 2:17-23 You must worship God in TRUTH and SPIRIT John 4:24 You must endure until the end to be saved . Matthew 24:13 We must be grafted into Israel. Romans 11:11-31 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Yeshua Messiah so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Galatians 3:14 Explanation Obedience is a requirement for receiving the Holy Spirit, along with faith in Christ's sacrifice. Repentance, or turning away from sin and toward obedience, is also required. The Holy Spirit gives guidance and companionship, and enables people to obey, kill sin, and be sanctified. "Born of the Spirit" (regeneration) is a spiritual rebirth, a work of the Holy Spirit that gives us new life and makes us capable of understanding and responding to God. Without this spiritual birth, one cannot "see" or "enter" the Kingdom of God (heaven). 1.

The Holy Spirit Sanctifies and Transforms Us: Chist redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: " Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree. " He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Yeshua Messiah so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Galatians 3:14 The decrees of Yehovah are trustworthy , making wise the simple. The commandments of Yehovah are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of Yehovah are clear, giving insight into living. Reverence for Yehovah is pure , lasting forever. The laws of Yehovah are true ; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. Psalm 19:7 The one who belongs listens and responds to Yehovah's words. If you don't listen and respond , it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47 Some say that God's promises to those who obey him include: Being blessed Being saved Being watched over Being taken care of Being given what you ask for Being happy Living longer Lacking nothing good God's Law Reflects God's Character (Who He Is): The ultimate source of all truth is God Himself. He is perfectly holy, just, righteous, good, and loving. His law, therefore, is not arbitrary rules, but an expression of His very nature. It reveals what is inherently true, good, and right because it stems from the perfectly true, good, and righteous God. Psalm 119:142 says, "Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Your law is truth. " This verse directly links God's righteousness (His character) with His law being truth. The Law as Divine Instruction and Revelation: In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word "Torah" (often translated as "Law") literally means "instruction," "teaching," or "guidance." It's not just a list of prohibitions, but a comprehensive revelation of God's will and wisdom for how humanity should live and how they can have a relationship with Him. Since God is truth, His instructions are true. They accurately describe reality, the nature of good and evil, and the path to genuine life and flourishing. Psalm 19:7-9 beautifully describes the law: "The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." Notice the consistent emphasis on truth, purity, and righteousness. The Law Exposes Sin and Points to Reality: The law serves as a mirror, showing humanity its imperfection and sinfulness in contrast to God's perfect standard. In this sense, it is "true" because it accurately diagnoses the human condition. Romans 3:20 states, "for through the law comes knowledge of sin." The law truthfully reveals what is wrong, what deviates from God's intended design for creation and humanity. Jesus Christ Embodies and Fulfills the Law/Truth: Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). He is the ultimate revelation of God's truth. He also stated that He came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). He perfectly lived out the Law and, through His sacrifice, perfectly satisfied its righteous demands on behalf of humanity. Therefore, the truth found in the Law ultimately points to and is embodied by Jesus Christ. The Law Guides Towards a True and Abundant Life: Living in accordance with God's law, empowered by the Holy Spirit, leads to a life that is truly abundant, meaningful, and aligned with God's design. This is not about earning salvation, but about living out the reality of being a new creation in Christ. The moral principles embedded in the law are timeless and beneficial for human flourishing, regardless of one's belief system. For example, honesty, faithfulness, and respect for life are universally recognized as good. In summary, when we say "the law is truth," we mean that God's law is a direct reflection of His unchanging, perfect, and truthful character. It is a divine revelation that accurately defines reality, distinguishes right from wrong, exposes sin, and ultimately points to Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of all truth and the source of true righteousness. It provides guidance for a life that is genuinely good and pleasing to God. Key Differences and Implications The Reformed (Calvinist) Order of Salvation The Armenian/Wesleyan Order of Salvation What is the Order of Salvation? The ordo salutis (Latin for "order of salvation") is a theological construct in Christian soteriology that describes the logical (not always strictly chronological) sequence of God's saving acts applied to the believer. It originates from Reformed theology but has been adapted across traditions, highlighting the interplay between divine sovereignty and human response Rooted in passages like Romans 8:29–30 (the "golden chain" of salvation), it underscores salvation as God's initiative from eternity to consummation. While all orthodox Christians affirm the core elements—such as Christ's atonement, faith, justification, and glorification—the order varies significantly between Reformed (Calvinist) and Arminian /Wesleyan views. Reformed theology prioritizes monergism (God's sole work), placing regeneration before faith, while Arminianism emphasizes synergism (cooperation via free will enabled by grace), placing faith before regeneration. The Reformed (Calvinist) Order of Salvation In this view, salvation begins with God's eternal decree and proceeds irresistibly, with human faith as a result of divine regeneration rather than its precondition. A typical sequence includes: Election/Predestination: God's sovereign choice of individuals before creation, based on His will alone (Ephesians 1:4–5). Calling: An outward gospel proclamation and inner, effectual call by the Spirit (Romans 8:30). Regeneration: The Holy Spirit imparts new spiritual life to the elect, enabling faith (Titus 3:5; Ezekiel 36:26). Conversion (Faith and Repentance): The regenerated sinner trusts Christ and turns from sin, as gifts from God (Ephesians 2:8–9). Justification: God declares the believer righteous, imputing Christ's merit (Romans 5:1). Adoption: Believers enter God's family as heirs (Galatians 4:4–7). Sanctification: Progressive growth in holiness, empowered by the Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Perseverance: God's preservation of the saints unto the end (Philippians 1:6). Glorification : Final perfection at Christ's return (Romans 8:30). This order emphasizes that no one can contribute to their salvation, avoiding any implication of merit. The Arminian/Wesleyan Order of Salvation Arminians stress prevenient (preceding) grace that restores free will to all sinners, making faith the condition for receiving salvation's benefits. Regeneration follows faith, and perseverance is conditional on continued belief. Roger Olson's classical Arminian sequence is: Electing Grace in Christ: God's election of all who will believe (foreseen faith). Atonement: Christ's universal provision for sinners. Prevenient Grace: God's enabling grace through the gospel, convicting and illuminating (Titus 2:11). Conversion (Repentance and Faith): The sinner's free response to believe and repent. Regeneration, Justification, Adoption , Union with Christ, Indwelling Spirit: Initial saving acts upon faith (John 3:3–5; Romans 5:1). Sanctification: Progressive (and potentially entire) holiness. Glorification: For those who persevere through faith. A broader Arminian outline includes universal/resistible calling before faith, with sanctification open to full freedom from sin's power in Wesleyan thought. Key Differences and Implications Faith vs. Regeneration: Reformed: Regeneration causes faith (monergistic). Arminian: Faith precedes and conditions regeneration (synergistic). Election: Reformed: Unconditional (individual selection). Arminian: Conditional (based on foreseen faith or corporate election in Christ). Calling and Perseverance: Reformed: Irresistible and guaranteed. Arminian: Resistible and dependent on human cooperation. Practical Ramifications: Reformed views foster assurance in God's sovereignty; Arminian emphasizes responsibility and warning against apostasy (Hebrews 6:4–6). These frameworks unite in affirming salvation by grace through Christ alone, differing mainly in emphasis to guard biblical truths like sovereignty (Reformed) and love for all (Arminian).
