The Lamb is the Savior, not the Law. But the Law is the standard by which God separates those who humble themselves and surrender from those who exalt themselves and resist. The Blood washes away sins, but it was not given to declare innocent those who insist on ignoring the Father’s commands. If it were automatic, there would be no judgment or separation. In every age, the Father sends to the Son those who please Him, and He is pleased with the Jew or gentile who seeks to live in faithfulness to His powerful and eternal Law. All the disciples, taught by Christ Himself, lived in obedience. They kept the Sabbath, circumcision, the forbidden meats, the tzitzits, the beard, and all the other statutes of the Lord. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority; obey while you are alive. | “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted by the Father.” (John 6:65)
The idea of dividing the history of redemption into “before” and ”after” the Messiah, as if God had changed the plan of salvation that has existed since creation, did not come from heaven. Jesus did not found a new religion for gentiles; He called men to the narrow path of faithfulness. Neither the prophets nor the Messiah Himself prophesied the sending of any human being, inside or outside the Bible, to institute a plan of salvation different from the one that has always existed: the sinner is only purified by the Blood of the Lamb when he surrenders and seeks to obey all of God’s Law, and this applies to both Jews and gentiles. Salvation is individual, do not follow the majority; obey while you are alive. | The gentile who joins himself to the Lord, to serve Him, thus becoming His servant… and who remains firm in My covenant, I will also bring him to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
Every primary doctrine, doctrines that have to do with the salvation of souls, must be filtered through the words of Jesus to be true. What is being preached to the gentiles about salvation is not based on the Gospels and, therefore, is false. Jesus never taught that His Father’s Law was canceled or altered to make salvation easier for gentiles. For centuries, our Jewish brothers who lived up to Jesus followed God’s laws in the Old Testament, including Jesus Himself, His relatives, friends, apostles, and disciples. There is nothing wrong with us; if they can do it, we can too. And not only can we, but we must, if we want the Father to send us to the 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)
Only those who seek to obey all the commandments of the Father testify that they truly believe in the Son and are part of His flock. True faith is always manifested in obedience, it was this way since Eden, it was this way in the days of the prophets, and it remains this way after the coming of the Messiah. This was also the profile of all the apostles and disciples of Jesus: simple men, but deeply committed to living out every commandment revealed by the Father. They followed the Son because they first honored the Father. Whoever wishes to be part of Christ’s flock must live as they lived, on the narrow path of obedience. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | “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 [Old Testament].” (John 17:6)
Jesus was clear with His apostles and disciples when He said that He was the only source of truth. He stated that everything He spoke, and even the way He spoke, came from the Father. At no time, in the four gospels, did He say that the truth would also come from men who would appear years after His return to the Father. The plan of salvation heard in most churches did not come from the lips of Jesus, but from flawed human beings, like all of us. The truth of Jesus is to believe that He was sent by the Father and to obey all the holy and eternal commandments of the Father, without exception. Do not follow the majority, follow Jesus. Obey while you are alive. | “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)
The plan of salvation taught in most churches wrongly claims that gentiles do not need to follow the laws God gave to His people in the Old Testament, for they were exempted from obedience with the coming of the Messiah. Jesus never taught disobedience to the commandments of the Father. This heresy was fabricated by humans inspired by the serpent, years after the ascension of Christ. The purpose is the same as in Eden: to convince souls to disobey the Creator and lead them to the lake of fire, prepared for Satan, his fallen angels, and rebellious men. The apostles and disciples, who learned from the lips of Jesus, faithfully obeyed God’s laws. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | The gentile who joins himself to the Lord, to serve Him, thus becoming His servant… and who remains firm in My covenant, I will also bring him to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
Tragically, many gentiles will face eternal death, even believing themselves to be Christians. They found Jesus, but rejected the process established by God since the beginning of humanity. The Father determined that salvation begins with obedience: man must please God by fulfilling the commandments He gave to His prophets in the Old Testament. Only then does the Father recognize him as part of Israel, His chosen people, and send him to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. This is how the apostles and disciples of Jesus attained salvation. Outside of this process, there is no reconciliation or eternal life. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord! will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew 7:21)
To say you have a relationship with Jesus but consciously ignore the wonderful commandments of Jesus’ Father is to live a dangerous illusion. The true relationship with the Son begins when the Father recognizes us as obedient to His will. Jesus does not receive the rebellious, but those whom the Father sends, and the Father will never deliver to the Son a soul that despises His laws given to the prophets in the Old Testament. The love of the Son is reserved for those who love the Father in actions, not just in words. Obedience is the link that unites the Father and the Son to those who desire salvation. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord! will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew 7:21)
The God of the Scriptures calls us to obedience. If your Christianity consists only of emotions, fleeting sensations, tears, or chills, you are placing your hopes in a man-made god, a biblically-shaped idol, but completely disconnected from the living God who demands faithfulness to His holy Law. The Father never taught that emotion saves; He taught that obedience saves. Jesus lived this way, the apostles lived this way, and any gentile who desires eternal life must live this way as well. True faith does not rely on feelings, but on practical, daily, and courageous obedience. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | “Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith in Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)
One of the main reasons that will lead millions of gentiles to the lake of fire is the almost irrational instinct to believe that the crowd must be right. Salvation is individual, and this is a blessing, because if it were collective, no one would ascend, since the majority stray from the narrow path that leads to the door of salvation. It is rare to find, even within the church, a soul that desires to please God to the point of obeying the laws He clearly commanded us. Once again, 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 because they are many. The end has already come! Obey while you are alive. | The gentile who joins himself to the Lord, to serve Him, thus becoming His servant… and who remains firm in My covenant, I will also bring him to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
