No matter how complicated a person’s life is, they will be blessed when they decide, with all their strength, to faithfully and permanently obey the laws of God given to His prophets in the Old Testament, just as Jesus and the apostles obeyed. The Lord’s deliverance is guaranteed. First, God will resolve the existing problems, one by one. Then, He will protect them so that new problems do not arise. As long as the person remains faithful, blessings will follow them. 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
God does not accept partial obedience. There is simply no support for partial obedience in the Old Testament or the Gospels. Imagine if Abraham, instead of a knife, had brought an axe to amputate Isaac. It is almost certain that the angel would not have stayed his hand, and he would have ended his days with a disabled son and without being called a friend of God and the father of faith. So it is with us today. Almost all Gentiles obey God only partially and mistakenly think that everything is fine with the Lord. It is not. No Gentile will be taken to heaven without seeking to follow the same laws that Jesus and His apostles followed. There is no other way. Do not follow the majority just because they are numerous. Obey while you are alive. | “You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.” Psalms 119:4
The Gentile who truly believes in Jesus must be willing to live exactly as He and His apostles lived, so that their faith results in blessings and salvation. Jesus made it clear, both in words and by example, that saying you love God without faithfully obeying all His commandments is useless. The Gentile seeking salvation in Christ must follow the same laws that the Father gave to the chosen nation for His honor and glory. The Father recognizes the faith and courage of that Gentile, even in the face of difficulties. He pours out His love on them, unites them with Israel, and leads them to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. Do not be deceived by the majority, just because they are many. The end has come. | “Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you.” Deuteronomy 4:2
The true way to relate to God has always been through the physical. With each act of physical obedience, we draw closer to God and show that we trust our destiny to Him. It has been this way from the beginning: Noah had to build an ark, Abraham had to leave his land, Moses had to confront Pharaoh, and the apostles had to abandon their boats and nets. Only when the individual seeks, with all their strength, to obey the laws that God gave to the prophets of the Old Testament, even if everyone opposes, do they prove to the Lord that they are determined to inherit eternal life. The Father sees their faith and courage, despite the difficulties. He pours out His love on them, unites them with Israel, and leads them to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. | “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
The true plan of salvation, created by God and not by men, is simple, holy, and easy to understand and follow: seek to be faithful to the Father’s laws given to His prophets, and He will send you to the Son for the forgiveness of sins. All the apostles and disciples knew they had to continue being faithful to the Father’s laws to follow the Son and be saved. The idea that they could ignore God’s laws because the Messiah had come never crossed their minds. This absurdity is what has been taught to the Gentiles for centuries, and no one cares that there is not a single word from Jesus in the Gospels that supports such teaching. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “Blessed are those who hear the word of God [Old Testament] and obey it.” Luke 11:28
When Jesus sent the apostles to the nations to make disciples, He did not tell them to create a gospel adapted for the Gentiles, but to preach what already existed among them: faith in the Messiah and fidelity to the Father’s laws. Both Jesus and the apostles followed all of God’s commandments revealed to the prophets in the Old Testament: they were circumcised, kept the Sabbath, wore the tzitzit, maintained their beards, and did not eat unclean foods. What the Gentiles are learning in churches is not Jesus’ teaching, but something invented by men inspired by the serpent. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “Here is the patience of the saints; here are those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” Revelation 14:12
Merit is for God to decide, as He searches the hearts. One thing is certain: whoever insists on not deserving salvation will certainly reap what they have sown. God did not leave us without guidance; He gave us specific laws so that we can be sent to Jesus and receive forgiveness and salvation. The person who thinks: “I do not deserve to be saved, I will not follow God’s laws, but even in disobedience, Jesus will save me” lives in an illusion, with no support in what Jesus taught in the Gospels. Salvation is individual. No Gentile will ascend without seeking to follow the same laws given to Israel, laws that Jesus Himself and His apostles followed. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day.” (John 6:39)
Many in the church like to say that they do not deserve to be saved, using this phrase to project an image of great humility. They act as if they obey God’s laws, but still believe they could do more to please Him. The truth, however, is that they almost never even tried to obey the holy and eternal laws that God gave to the prophets and Jesus. They continue to ignore God’s commandments, believing that their false humility impresses the Lord. But the Father searches the hearts and knows the real motivation of each one. God does not send the disobedient to His Son. | “You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.” Psalms 119:4
The Lord is a God who forgives and forgets the offenses of those who repent. To repent is to acknowledge that one has erred and to do everything to not repeat the mistake. The kings of Israel are examples of this, as God forgave even the most wicked when they admitted their sins. However, millions in the churches live in open disobedience to the laws of God revealed in the Old Testament and by Jesus in the Gospels. They do not admit any fault and see no reason to repent. Yet, they believe they will be welcomed with kisses and hugs in heaven. This world of illusion is the result of centuries of brainwashing caused by the false doctrine of “unmerited favor.” The Father does not send the disobedient to the Son. | “You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.” Psalms 119:4
God does not accept substitutions. He is pleased with those who do exactly what He asks and rejects those who know His requirements but do something different. The first proof of this rule was with Abel and Cain. Cain did not offer something bad to God; in his mind, the fruits of the earth seemed like a good offering. However, God rejected it because it was not what He had asked for. God gave us His laws through the prophets of the Old Testament and Jesus in the Gospels to be obeyed exactly as they were given. Only those who are willing to follow what God has commanded us, as it was said, please the Father and are sent to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. | “You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.” Psalms 119:4
