Something very strange happens among the gentiles: they claim to believe in Jesus, but follow a plan of salvation that has nothing to do with what He actually taught in the four Gospels. The true teaching of Jesus was clear , salvation comes from the Jews, that is, it comes from the laws, the promises, and the people that God set apart for Himself with an eternal covenant. We, gentiles, if we want to be saved, must follow the same laws that the Lord gave to His people. This is not a new doctrine: it was exactly how Jesus lived and what He taught daily to His apostles and disciples, who faithfully obeyed all of God’s commandments. 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 to my holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
Many feel secure by attending church and using the name of Jesus in songs and prayers, but this does not prove that the Blood of the Lamb is upon them. Jews or gentiles, God has always set apart His own by the same criterion: whoever fears the Lord seeks to obey His powerful and eternal Law. This obedience does not save, but it reveals who truly wants to belong to the Most High. Then the Father blesses that soul and leads it to the Son for forgiveness and eternal life. Jesus taught obedience to the apostles and, like them, we have to keep the commandment of the Sabbath, circumcision, forbidden meats, tzitzits, the beard, and all the other statutes of the Lord. 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)
We believe that Jesus is the Messiah sent by God because He fulfilled all the messianic prophecies of the Old Testament. Details about the birth, life, death, and message of Jesus were revealed, including the most important: He would bear the sins of all who believe in Him. In none of these prophecies is it said that part of His mission would be to exempt gentiles from obeying each of the laws given to Israel, the people set apart by God. No man, whether inside or outside the Bible, received authority to change even a comma of God’s eternal Law. This is the greatest test of faithfulness in your life: to follow the prophets and Jesus, or to follow those who came after Him? | “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God [Old Testament] and do it.” (Luke 8:21)
Many in the church create doctrines without basis in the words of Jesus and spread them as truths, just because they sound good. One of these inventions is the lie that gentiles do not need to obey God’s laws, because no one would be able to, and that is why Jesus died. However, none of this is mentioned by the Lord’s prophets regarding the role of the Messiah, and in none of the gospels does Jesus affirm such a thing. Jesus came as a sacrifice for the sins of those who love the Father, and prove that love by seeking to follow all the laws that God gave to the chosen nation, sealed by a perpetual covenant. The Father does not send to the Son those who rebel against His laws. | “You have commanded your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.” (Psalm 119:4)
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 is manifested in physical actions, in what the person does, not in what happens in their mind. When someone overcomes shame, the 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, the blessings will surely come. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. The end has already come! Obey while you are alive. | “If only they always had in their hearts this disposition to fear me and to obey all my commandments. Then all would go well with them and with their descendants forever!” (Deuteronomy 5:29)
Every day we see a battle being fought for our soul. There is a constant evil force that opposes God’s action in our lives, trying to draw us away from the narrow path. And there is only one way to win this spiritual war: to stand firmly on the side of the Most High, obeying without exception everything He requires. This is how all the faithful servants lived , from the patriarchs to the prophets, from the disciples to the apostles , men and women who chose to honor every commandment revealed by the prophets before the Messiah and by the Messiah Himself. Whoever wants to win this war needs to walk the same path. Salvation is individual. Obey while you are still alive. | “Be careful to act exactly as the Lord your God has commanded you. Do not turn aside, neither to the right nor to the left.” (Deuteronomy 5:32)
The religion to which Jesus always belonged and which He preached in the four gospels is not the same as what is being preached to the gentiles. The plan of salvation they spread has no support in the words of Jesus and, therefore, is false, even if old and popular. The apostles, who for more than three years learned directly from the Master, are the example of how the Father and the Son expect both Jews and gentiles to live. They were faithful to the entire Law of God: the Sabbath, circumcision, forbidden meats, tzitzits, the beard, and all the other commandments. Salvation is individual; obey while you are alive. | “The assembly shall have the same laws, which will apply both to you and to the gentile who lives with you; this is a perpetual decree.” (Numbers 15:15)
Obeying the Father does not mean rejecting the Son. This is one of the most diabolical lies that has ever existed on this planet, yet millions of people in churches accept it without question. This lie is part of a set of doctrines created by men, inspired by the devil, soon after Jesus returned to heaven, with the aim of leading gentiles into disobedience, which leads them to eternal death. People love this doctrine because it feeds a false hope of salvation without the need to follow God’s laws. The truth is that, to be saved, the gentile needs to 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. | “Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)
When God freed the people of Israel from Egypt, He did not lead them directly to the promised land, but first to the desert, where He gave them His laws. This shows that, for God, obedience comes before possession. Many in the churches seek God’s blessings, but show no interest in obeying the laws He gave us through His prophets in the Old Testament and through Jesus in the four gospels. These blessings they seek so much will only be received when they show the Lord that they truly love Him, through a life of obedience. This is how the apostles and disciples of Christ lived, and that is why they were blessed. Do not follow the majority , follow only the Lord. | “Today I set before you blessing and curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God; the curse, if you do not obey.” Deut 11:26-28
Never before have the signs of Jesus’ return been so evident. Let no Christian imagine that the sound of the trumpets will be the moment to begin obeying the Lord , at that instant, the fate of each soul will already be decided and recorded before God. The appearance at the final judgment court will be just a formality. Today is the day to live as the apostles and disciples of Jesus lived: believing that He is the Messiah of Israel and faithfully obeying each of God’s commandments in the Old Testament , they were circumcised, kept the beard, observed the Sabbath… and all the other commandments. 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 of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)
