There are many people in the church who live in constant suffering. If they are in the church, it should not be this way, but it is. The reason is that they have been led to believe the lie that they do not need to obey the holy and eternal Law of God to be in communion with the Lord. But the truth is that they are not well. God made it clear that blessings, protection, deliverance, and salvation are for His faithful children, who strive to follow His laws revealed in the Old Testament and in the Gospels by Jesus. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear Me and keep all My commandments always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!” Deuteronomy 5:29
No Gentile will be saved because they did not deserve it, but because they pleased God in their life, like Abraham, Enoch, Noah, Moses, David, Joseph, Mary, and the apostles. The false doctrine of “unmerited favor” has no support in the Old Testament or in the words of Jesus in the Gospels. Merit is something that belongs to God, who searches hearts and decides for Himself whether someone deserves it or not. Jesus taught us that it is the Father who sends us to the Son, and the Father only sends those who follow the laws He gave to the nation set apart for Himself with an everlasting covenant. God watches us and, seeing our obedience even in the face of opposition, He unites us with Israel and leads us to Jesus. This plan of salvation makes sense because it is true. | “Blessed are those who hear the word of God [Old Testament] and obey it.” Luke 11:28
If there were a plan of salvation for Gentiles outside of Israel and without the laws God gave to Israel, it would imply that God had broken the eternal covenant He made with Abraham, through which other peoples would be blessed through him. However, in no Gospel did Jesus say that He came to found a new religion for Gentiles, separate from Israel. Any Gentile can be brought to Jesus by the Father and be saved, but they must follow the same laws He gave to Israel, the nation chosen for His honor and glory. The Father sees the faith and courage of this Gentile, despite the challenges, pours out His love on them, unites them with Israel, and leads them to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. This is the plan of salvation that makes sense because it is true. | The Gentile who joins the Lord to serve Him, thus being His servant… and who holds fast to My covenant, I will also bring them to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
When a church teaches that it is good for a Christian to obey some of God’s commandments but that it does not affect salvation, it is being used by the serpent. The devil always speaks this way: evil disguised as good. If they said that it is not necessary to obey any commandment, the shock would be too great, and Satan is not foolish. The truth is that nowhere in the Old Testament or in the words of Jesus in the Gospels do we see that obeying God’s Law is optional for salvation. To be saved, the soul must be sent to the Son by the Father, and the Father will never send someone who knows the laws He gave us through His prophets but blatantly disobeys them. | “Ah, My people! Your guides lead you astray and destroy the paths you walk.” Isaiah 3:12
The situation of the Gentiles is much more serious than what leaders teach. Jesus’ focus was never on outsiders but on those who belong to His people: Israel. His contact with Gentiles was minimal, and to deny this is to reject the facts clearly described in the Gospels. The common teaching in churches suggests that God is eager to save Gentiles to the point of not even requiring them to obey His laws revealed by His Old Testament prophets. This teaching is completely false, and Jesus never taught such a thing. What Jesus taught is that it is the Father who sends us to the Son. And the Father only sends those who follow the same laws given to the nation He set apart for Himself with an everlasting covenant. God does not send declared disobedients to His Son. | “I have revealed Your name to the men You gave Me out of the world. They were Yours; You gave them to Me, and they have obeyed Your word [the Old Testament].” John 17:6
With mouths full of theological jargon and impactful phrases, many leaders teach that if someone who has accepted Jesus decides to obey all the commandments of Jesus’ Father, instead of going to heaven, God will send them to hell, because, according to them, that person would be rejecting the Son. This fantasy has no basis whatsoever in the words of Jesus in the Gospels and is therefore of human origin. What Jesus made more than clear is that it is the Father who sends us to the Son. And the Father only sends those who follow the same laws given to the nation He set apart for Himself with an everlasting covenant. God watches us and, seeing our obedience even in the face of opposition, He unites us with Israel and delivers us to Jesus. | “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:44
When Jesus said that everyone who believes in Him will be saved, He was speaking to Nicodemus, a Jewish leader. Like many Jews at the time of Jesus, Nicodemus strictly followed the laws of Israel, but he lacked the acceptance that Jesus was the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world, thus fulfilling the two divine requirements for salvation: to believe and to obey. For today’s Gentiles, the opposite occurs. They accept the authority of Christ but refuse to obey the laws of God revealed to the prophets in the Old Testament. The Father does not send the disobedient to the Son. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | The Gentile who joins the Lord to serve Him, thus being His servant… and who holds fast to My covenant, I will also bring them to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
Being blessed by God has always been linked to faith and obedience to His holy Law. What the church teaches about faith does not correspond to what God taught us through His prophets and Jesus. True faith is not related to positive thinking, as many believe. Faith only brings blessings, protection, and salvation when it manifests in physical actions, in what a person does, and not in what happens in their mind. When someone overcomes shame, fear of others’ judgment, and the whispers of the devil, and begins to follow all of God’s commandments, as Jesus and the apostles did, blessings will certainly come. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!” Deuteronomy 5:29
All beings in heaven live in holiness. Being holy involves two fundamental points: total obedience to God’s laws and separation from everything that is contrary to Him. Lucifer was holy until he disobeyed; Adam and Eve were holy until they fell. It is absurd that churches preach sanctification without obedience to the laws that God gave through the prophets in the Old Testament and by Jesus in the Gospels. Sanctification and rebellion are opposites. The Gentile who truly desires to sanctify themselves must first obey God’s laws. By doing so, they will have access to the Throne, and the Father will guide them on the holy path and send them to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. | “All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.” Psalm 25:10
The true reason why so many Gentiles reject God’s laws is that they consider them a nuisance. For them, it is much more comfortable to live without restrictions, doing what they like. The false doctrine of “unmerited favor” eliminates this nuisance, suggesting that, since God saves those who do not deserve it, obeying the commandments is irrelevant. They even believe that those who strive to obey are condemning themselves to the lake of fire. The problem is that neither God’s prophets nor Jesus taught anything so absurd. Jesus taught us that it is the Father who sends us to the Son, and the Father only sends those who follow the laws He gave to the nation set apart for Himself with an eternal covenant. God does not send rebels to His Son. | “My mother and brothers are those who hear God’s word [Old Testament] and put it into practice.” Luke 8:21
