Many imagine that, before Jesus, the gentiles lived without hope of salvation; this is ignorance of the Scriptures. The sacrifice of the Lamb has always reached the gentile who surrendered to the true God and aligned himself with the people of the covenant, keeping the powerful Law that the Lord has always required. The Father observes his faith, welcomes the soul, and sends it to the Son, because no one comes to the Messiah without being sent, whether Jew or gentile. On the other hand, the Father never sends to the Son the person who rejects clear laws, such as the Sabbath, unclean meats, circumcision, the beard, the use of tzitzits, and the other commandments that the apostles and disciples never abandoned. 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)
One of the greatest benefits of following God’s laws is the spiritual barrier that the Lord places around those who obey Him. As long as the person remains on the path of obedience to all the laws given to the prophets and to Jesus, he will be under divine protection, far from the serpent’s deceptions. On the other hand, whoever refuses to obey, for whatever reason, does not have this protection, and the devil can freely enter his life. God can still protect him as Creator, but not as Father. 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 desire to fear me and to obey all my commandments. Then all would go well with them and with their descendants forever!” (Deuteronomy 5:29)
We gentiles need humility and gratitude if we want to rise with Jesus. Over the centuries, the serpent has managed to instill great pride in the churches, creating the false belief that Christ founded a special religion for the gentiles, with its own doctrines, traditions, and without the laws of Israel. However, none of this finds support in the four Gospels. The truth is that God chose Israel so that, through this people, all nations could have access to the Lamb. God gives us the chance to join the chosen people, but no one is accepted without obeying the commandments that were given to Abraham and his descendants. We are not superior to the prophets, apostles, and disciples. | “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)
The phrase “if it were by the Law, Jesus would not have needed to come” sounds nice, but it is empty and unbiblical. It was never said that the Law saves; what God revealed from the beginning is that obedience to the Law leads the sinner to the sacrifice that purifies. In Israel, only the obedient had access to the blood of the lamb that covered sins; today, only the obedient have access to the blood of the Messiah that removes sins. The Father sends to the Son those who honor His Law, not those who despise it. The apostles and disciples believed in Jesus and obeyed the entire Law of the Father. Salvation is individual. Obey while you are still 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)
It is not possible to consider oneself a servant of God and treat His commandments as if they were optional, but this is how millions of Christians live. The Sabbath is set aside; forbidden meats, tzitzits, circumcision, and the beard , all of this is ridiculed. All these laws were faithfully obeyed by the apostles, the disciples, and Jesus Himself. And why are they not alarmed? Because they live surrounded by people who do the same, as if a crowd could turn disobedience into virtue. But the Lord is not impressed by numbers; He honors those who fear Him and obey the commandments given by the prophets and by the Messiah. Do not trade the truth for the approval of men. Salvation is individual. Obey while you are alive. | “He who says: I know Him, and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” (1 John 2:4)
Many were taught to believe that, with the coming of the Messiah, God would have inaugurated a “new phase” of the plan of salvation, in which seeking to obey the Law was no longer required. This narrative does not come from the Lord. Jesus did not found a new religion for gentiles; He came for His people and remained faithful to the Father’s laws, calling everyone to follow the same path. No prophet, not even Jesus Himself, prophesied a man, inside or outside the Bible, in charge of updating the plan of salvation. Since Eden, the Blood of the Lamb is applied to the soul that seeks to follow the whole Law of God, whether Jew or gentile. Salvation is individual. Obey the Creator’s Law while you are still alive. | “Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith in Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)
When a church teaches that it is good for a Christian to obey some of God’s commandments, but that this does not affect salvation, it is being used by the serpent. The devil always speaks this way: evil with the appearance of good. If they said that it is not necessary to obey any commandment, the shock would be too great, and Satan is not a fool. 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! Those who lead you mislead you and destroy the way of your paths.” (Isaiah 3:12)
Everything we gentiles need to know to obtain blessings in this life and achieve salvation was communicated by the Father through His prophets in the Old Testament and by Jesus Himself in the four Gospels. There is no prophecy announcing new teachings about salvation after Christ; any later doctrine that alters or replaces the plan revealed by God does not come from heaven. The Father has already determined the way: to obey the commandments given to the prophets who came before Jesus. It is this faithfulness that the Father recognizes, honors, integrates the soul into His people, and delivers to the Son for forgiveness and eternal life. Flee from the crowd , obey while you are still 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)
Nowhere in the gospels does Jesus say that He came into the world so that we would not need to obey His Father’s laws for salvation. Although this teaching is preached in many churches, it does not come from Christ, but was an invention that arose as soon as Jesus returned to the Father. After Jesus gave the apostles the command to go and preach His message to the world, the devil devised various deceptions to lead the gentiles away from what Jesus really taught. What Jesus said is that the Father 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. This plan of salvation makes sense, because it is the true one. | “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)
Much of what is preached today is not the gospel announced by Jesus Himself, but words of mere men , men inspired by the same serpent who, since Eden, has worked tirelessly to lead souls away from the path of obedience and into eternal death. These pleasant and easy messages are nothing but repetitions of the old lie: that man can ignore the Lord’s commandments and still inherit eternal life. But the true gospel remains exactly what the Messiah taught: to faithfully obey every commandment revealed by the Father. That is how His apostles and disciples lived. Obey while you are still 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)
