Gentiles who are truly serious about ascending with Jesus must follow the instructions of Jesus’ Father to the letter. This means not obeying partially or adapting. Few Gentiles are that serious, and that is why few will ascend. As Jesus said, most do not even find the narrow gate, let alone enter through it. The only way to please the Father and be sent to the Son is to strictly follow the laws that the Lord gave us in the Old Testament. God watches us and, seeing our obedience even in the face of opposition, He unites us to Israel and gives us to Jesus for forgiveness and salvation. This plan of salvation makes sense because it is the true one. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. | “Do not add to or subtract from the commandments I give you. Simply obey the commandments of the Lord your God.” (Deuteronomy 4:2)
Jesus possessed perfect righteousness and never negotiated with the flesh; after performing physical and spiritual deliverances, His warning was: “Go and sin no more!” But what does it really mean to sin? Scripture itself answers: to sin is to transgress the Law of God. Even so, millions of Christians live in open disobedience to the powerful commandments revealed by the prophets before the Messiah and by the Messiah Himself, deceiving themselves with beautiful words while rejecting the only evidence the Father accepts. Whoever continues to violate the Law remains in sin, and whoever remains in sin will not be sent to the Son. 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)
There is a completely guaranteed way to be blessed in this life and have our place reserved in heaven: to live exactly as the apostles of Jesus lived when they were with Him. They fulfilled God’s two requirements for blessings and salvation: obeying His laws given to the prophets of the Old Testament and recognizing Jesus as the Messiah of Israel. Any Gentile who lives the same way will be treated by God as they were. But whoever chooses to follow the false teaching that they do not need to obey God’s laws will not have access to Jesus. The Father does not send declared disobedient people to the Son. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. The end has already come! 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)
According to history, after the ascension of Christ, several apostles obeyed the great commission and took the gospel taught by Jesus to the Gentile nations. Thomas went to India, Barnabas and Paul to Macedonia, Greece, and Rome, Andrew to Russia and Scandinavia, Matthias to Ethiopia, and the good news spread. The message they were to preach was the same taught by Jesus, focused on the Father: believe and obey. Believe that Jesus came from the Father and obey the Father’s laws. The Holy Spirit would remind them of what Jesus taught. Jesus did not found a new religion for the Gentiles. 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 just because they are many. | 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)
Most Gentiles do not realize what really happens in their worship services and events. The devil entertains them like children, diverting their focus from obedience to God’s laws to fleeting emotions, songs, impactful phrases, and tears, as if the Most High were interested in feelings without action. God does not seek emotion; He seeks obedience. From the prophets to Jesus, the message has always been the same: keeping the Father’s commandments is the way to please Him. And the Father only sends to the Son those who please Him. No worship service will substitute for a life of faithfulness to God’s Law. 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)
The main factor for salvation is pleasing the Creator. No Jew or gentile will enter heaven if God is not pleased with that person. No one will be saved just for thinking, speaking, or singing beautiful things about God and Jesus while ignoring His eternal laws. However, when the gentile decides to obey the Creator, no matter the cost, everything changes between him and God. The gentile who seeks 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, even in the face of challenges, pours out His love on 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. | “We receive from Him whatever we ask because we obey His commandments and do what pleases Him.” (1 John 3:22)
Whenever Jesus refers to the Scriptures, He is speaking of the Old Testament, not of writings that would arise after His return to the Father. The true plan of salvation for the gentiles is also based on the Old Testament and the words of Jesus in the Gospels. If God had sent instructions for salvation through someone after Christ, He would have warned us through the prophets and His Son, but there is no prophecy about sending another person after Christ. We must listen only to Jesus, who taught us that the Father sends us to the Son, and the Father sends only those who follow the laws given to Israel, the same laws that Jesus and His apostles followed. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. | “All that the Father gives me will come to me; and whoever comes to me, I will never cast out.” (John 6:37)
Many in the church mistakenly believe that the laws of God that must be obeyed depend on the will and circumstances of each person. They were taught that God understands everyone’s situation and accepts the acts of obedience that the person chooses to do, as long as they are from the heart. This “god” (with a lowercase g) is an invention, a product of the false doctrine of ”unmerited favor,” which everyone loves. What Jesus really taught is that it is the Father who sends us to the Son, and the Father only sends those who follow the laws He gave to the nation He set apart for Himself with an eternal covenant. God observes our obedience and, seeing our faithfulness, unites us to Israel and delivers us to Jesus. | “All that the Father gives me will come to me; and whoever comes to me, I will never cast out.” (John 6:37)
When God made the eternal covenant with Abraham and sealed it with the sign of circumcision, He stated that all the nations of the earth, not just the Jews, would be blessed through this covenant. It is a mistake to think that Jesus came to found a new religion for the gentiles. From His birth to His death on the cross, Jesus remained faithful to Israel and never suggested that gentiles would be saved apart from Israel. The gentile who wishes to be saved by Christ must follow the same laws that the Father gave to the chosen nation for His honor and glory. The Father sees the faith and courage of this gentile, despite the difficulties. He pours out His love on him, unites him to Israel, and leads him to Jesus for forgiveness and salvation. This is the plan of salvation that makes sense because it is true. | The gentile 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)
With their mouths full of theological jargon and impactful phrases, many leaders teach that if someone who has accepted Jesus decides to obey all the commandments of Jesus’ Father, instead of going to heaven, God will send them to hell, because, according to them, that person would be rejecting the Son. This fantasy has not the slightest support in the words of Jesus in the Gospels and is therefore of human origin. What Jesus made more than clear is that it is the Father who sends us to the Son. And the Father only sends those who follow the same laws given to the nation He set apart for Himself with an everlasting covenant. God observes us and, seeing our obedience, even in the face of opposition, He unites us to Israel and delivers us to Jesus. | “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.” (John 6:44)
