Many leaders teach that the Messiah came to free us from obedience, when He actually came to free us from sin and to teach us faithfulness to the Father. Jesus was faithful to the Law and for more than three years taught the apostles to live as He did. They all kept the Sabbath, ate only the meats permitted by God, did not shave their beards, wore tzitzits, and were circumcised according to the eternal covenant. Most churches lie and teach gentiles to live without these signs of faithfulness. But the Father does not send to the Son those who despise His laws; He sends those who honor Him with obedience, both Jews and gentiles. Do not trade the Messiah’s path for the religion of the crowd. Salvation is individual. Obey while you are alive. | “The assembly must have the same laws, which will apply both to you and to the foreigner living among you; this is a perpetual decree.” (Numbers 15:15)
The Creator’s warning in Eden was clear: “On the day you eat of it, you will surely die.” That moment defined the destiny of all humanity. And the only way to prove to God that we do not want eternal death is by doing the opposite of what Adam and Eve did, by obeying, not disobeying. They violated one commandment; we must seek to obey them all. That is the difference between life and condemnation. Do not be deceived: the Father only sends to Jesus the gentile who follows the same laws He gave to Israel, the people He set apart for Himself with an eternal covenant, sealed by circumcision. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | The foreigner who joins himself to the Lord, to serve Him, thus becoming His servant… and who holds firmly to My covenant, I will also bring to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
God created billions of human beings and can create trillions more if He so wishes. The idea that He is in love with everyone and suffers when they ignore His laws to follow their own desires is a fantasy with no basis in the prophets or in the words of Christ. The free will that God gave to all rational beings includes the choice to obey or not His laws, given to the prophets of the Old Testament and to Jesus in the Gospels. The choice is individual and determines the final destiny of each soul, and the Lord accepts without issue whatever each one decides. The reality is that 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. | “You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.” (Psalm 119:4)
The simplicity of the true plan of salvation is remarkable. The way has always been clear and has never changed. This is the plan that has been in effect since the beginning, and the Gospels do not record Jesus making any changes to it. We, the gentiles, are saved by following the same laws that the Father gave to the chosen nation for His honor and glory, the same ones that Jesus, the apostles, and the disciples obeyed. When the Father recognizes our sincere dedication, He unites us with Israel and then sends us to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. This is the plan that makes sense because it is genuine, eternal, and comes from God Himself. Salvation is individual. Obey while you are still alive. | The foreigner who joins himself to the Lord, to serve Him, thus becoming His servant… and who holds firmly to My covenant, I will also bring to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
The error of the churches is to treat the salvation of the gentiles as if it were a new plan, when in fact there has always been only one way, both for Jews and for gentiles: to obey the powerful Law of God and be sent to the Lamb for the forgiveness of sins. Any gentile who seeks to obey the laws that God gave us through the prophets is considered part of Israel and heir to the promise. But, Jew or gentile, no one is sent to Jesus while living in contempt for the explicit commandments: Sabbath, unclean meats, circumcision, beard, tzitzits, and everything that the disciples and apostles practiced daily. This is the plan of salvation that makes sense, because it is the true one. | 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)
If anyone begins to teach something that invalidates the holy and eternal Law of God, we must stop listening to him immediately. At that very moment, this person reveals himself to be the same voice that convinced Eve that nothing bad would happen if she disobeyed God. The serpent remains determined in its mission to make every child of Adam disobey the Lord. After Eden, its greatest success was the creation of the doctrine of “unmerited favor,” on which millions rely to live in open disobedience to God’s laws, believing that even so, they will ascend with Jesus. God does not send the disobedient to His Son, but only the soul that is willing to follow the same laws given to Israel, the nation He chose for Himself. | “Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)
The hope of many gentiles to be blessed by God while rejecting His Law finds no support in the Old Testament nor in the four gospels. Jesus was clear in declaring that the focus of blessings and salvation is the chosen people, the salvation comes from the Jews. This does not mean there is no blessing or salvation for us, gentiles; it only means that there is a divine process that must be followed. The gentile becomes part of the Israel of God when he decides, from the heart, to obey the same laws that the Lord revealed in the Old Testament, exactly as Jesus, the apostles, and all the faithful disciples did. 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 to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
There will be no spiritual or material progress in the life of a gentile until he has faith, courage, humbles himself, and joins the nation that God set apart for Himself with an everlasting covenant. There is no plan of salvation for gentiles outside of Israel. This lie of the devil has blocked countless blessings and deliverance, because the most precious promises of Scripture are reserved for Israel. The gentile who seeks blessings and salvation in Jesus must follow the same laws that the Lord gave to the nation He set apart for Himself with an eternal covenant. The Father sees the faith and courage of this gentile, despite the challenges. He pours out His love on him, unites him to Israel, and sends him to the Son. This plan of salvation makes sense because it is true. | “If only they had such a heart as this always, to fear Me and to obey all My commandments. Then it would go well with them and with their descendants forever!” (Deuteronomy 5:29)
There is no “plan B” to reach the Lamb. Jews or gentiles, the purifying Blood has always been intended for those who sincerely seek to obey God’s powerful and eternal Law, even when facing opposition. When God sees this reverence, He protects, blesses, and leads the soul to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. The Father does not lead those who despise His commands, because the Blood of Christ is not a license to continue in disobedience. Jesus taught obedience to the apostles, and like them, we must 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 he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew 7:21)
The test for us, gentiles, is simple: will we follow the Messiah or the rebellious church? Jesus lived in full obedience to the Father, and His apostles imitated this obedience: all of them kept the Sabbath, did not eat unclean meats, did not shave their beards, wore tzitzits, and were circumcised. Many churches, however, teach gentiles to despise these commandments and call disobedience “unmerited favor,” something our Savior did not even remotely suggest in the four Gospels. The crowd may applaud the lie of disobedience, but God’s judgment will fall on all of them. Salvation is individual. Do not trade eternal life for the comfort of the majority. | “Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)
