The expression “unmerited favor” is not found in the Scriptures, and Jesus Himself, in the four Gospels, did not even remotely teach anything close to this concept. Even though this doctrine is popular in many churches, the sad reality is that it does not come from God, but was fabricated soon after the ascension of Christ to justify the false belief that Jesus will save the millions of Gentiles who openly disobey the laws that God gave to the nation set apart for His honor and glory. 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. | “I have revealed your name to the men you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me; and they have obeyed your word [the Old Testament].” (John 17:6)
According to the Lord’s prophets and the words of Jesus in the gospels, there is only one people set apart and blessed with an eternal covenant, sealed with the sign of circumcision. These are the natural descendants of Abraham and the Gentiles who joined them by obeying God’s laws. The Scriptures do not mention any covenant between God and Gentiles who are separated from Israel. The Gentile who wishes to be blessed and saved by Christ must follow the same laws that the Father gave to the chosen nation for His honor and glory. The Father observes the faith and courage of this Gentile, despite the difficulties. He pours out His love upon him, unites him to Israel, and leads him to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. This plan of salvation makes sense because it is true. | There shall be one law for the native-born and for the foreigner who lives among you. (Exodus 12:49)
The greatest heresy about salvation is not the one that attacks Jesus, but the one that uses His name to turn man away from obedience to the Father of Jesus. People praise Christ, but accept a “plan of salvation” that Christ never taught in the four gospels. The doctrine of ”unmerited favor” is the enemy’s masterpiece: it promises man that he will be received in heaven with hugs and kisses, even while ignoring the powerful and eternal Law of God. The Messiah spent years showing His apostles and disciples how to live to inherit eternal life, whether for Jews or for Gentiles. All of them obeyed the Sabbath, circumcision, the forbidden meats, the use of tzitzits, the beard, and all the other statutes of the Lord. Salvation is individual; obey while you are alive. | “You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.” (Psalm 119:4)
The church completely ignores Jesus’ warning that few even find the door to salvation. People prefer to cover their ears and pretend that everything is fine between them and God. But it is not! God was clear countless times in saying that there would be blessings and salvation for those who obeyed His laws, but curse and suffering for those who despised them. Almost no one diligently seeks to follow the laws that the Lord gave to the prophets in the Old Testament, and the consequences, both current and eternal, can already be seen. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. The end has already come! Obey while you are alive. | “Enter through the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many are those who enter through it.” Matthew 7:13
Many claim to know God, but true knowledge only happens when the soul decides to obey each of His powerful commandments, exactly as He ordered through His prophets in the Old Testament and by Jesus in the four gospels. It is in daily, sincere, and complete obedience that the heart draws near to the Creator, and it is on this narrow path that intimacy, blessings, and, in the end, salvation arise. Without obedience, no one knows God, they only have an idea about Him. The apostles and disciples of Christ lived in total obedience to the wonderful Law of God and so must we. Do not follow the majority, 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 2:2-5
Believing in Jesus is not just accepting that He really existed 2,000 years ago in Israel, but living as He lived and as He taught His apostles and disciples, men who learned everything directly from His lips, and not from mere human beings who appeared on the scene years after Jesus returned to heaven. True faith follows the example of the Master: obeys the same laws He obeyed, rejects human doctrines, and stands only on the commandments of the Father revealed in the Old Testament and in the four gospels. Whoever says he believes in Jesus but does not live as Jesus and His apostles lived is only deceiving himself. 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 he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew 7:21)
The greatest joy for us gentiles is when we finally discover the powerful Law of God, the Law of our wonderful, kind, and merciful Creator, revealed in the Old Testament and confirmed in the four Gospels. Hidden within it are the secrets of true peace, blessings, and communion with the Most High. Since Jesus returned to the Father, the devil has worked hard to hide this inexhaustible source of life, spreading lies so that gentiles remain blind and distant from obedience. But those whom the Lord awakens to the truth find in His Law the path of wisdom and salvation. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | “What does the Lord require of you, but to fear the Lord, to walk in all His ways, and to obey His commandments for your own good?” (Deuteronomy 10:12-13)
The Scriptures make it clear: the man who loves God and is faithful to all His laws, even facing opposition and difficulties, is the one who truly pleases the Lord. This is the man whom the Father blesses, protects, and leads to Jesus for forgiveness and salvation. But what is taught to gentiles today is the opposite of the truth. They try to convince us that it is when we do not deserve it, when we live in disobedience to the Lord’s laws, that we are saved, as if salvation came from rebellion. This is the serpent’s lie, not the gospel of Christ. Jesus never taught a doctrine of disobedience. The Father only sends to the Son those who follow His laws. 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 he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew 7:21)
The Christian who looks for excuses not to obey God’s commandments is deceiving himself by thinking he is guided by the Lord. The Holy Spirit does not lead anyone to disobedience, but rather reminds us of what Jesus has already taught. And the Master was clear: He lived and taught total faithfulness to the Law of the Father. The apostles and disciples, who heard Him every day, obeyed every commandment revealed in the Old Testament. So it must be with us as well. Only those who walk the same path of obedience are guided by God. 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)
Millions of Christians recognize that there is power in the name of Jesus, but do not benefit from this power because they live in disobedience to the powerful Law of the Father of Jesus. The truth is that there is no real relationship with the Son unless the soul is first sent by the Father, and Christ Himself affirmed that His true family is composed only of those who obey the will of the Most High. Any gentile can become intimate with Jesus by faithfully keeping all the commandments revealed by the prophets who came before the Messiah and by the Messiah Himself. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God [Old Testament] and do it” (Luke 8:21).
