God accepted Abel but rejected Cain for offering something different from what the Lord requires. This spirit of “I do it my way” dominates most churches. Leaders and members choose which of the Father’s commandments they will accept, treating God’s powerful and unchanging Law like a restaurant menu. The fact is, whether Jews or Gentiles, we only please God and obtain salvation in Christ if we live as Jesus and His apostles lived, obeying God to the letter: the Sabbath, circumcision, forbidden meats, the use of tzitzits, the beard, and all the other statutes of the Lord. The Blood of the Lamb does not cover rebels. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | “You have commanded your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.” (Psalm 119:4)
God never demands anything from us without first enabling us to fulfill what He asks. To say that no one can obey the laws the Lord revealed in the Old Testament is blasphemy disguised as humility. Whoever says this is, in fact, accusing the Almighty of being unjust, as if He asked something impossible of His children. But the Father is just in everything He commands. Those who claim it is impossible to obey have generally never even tried. The apostles and disciples, who heard directly from Jesus, faithfully obeyed all of God’s laws, and we must also obey. 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)
The true plan of salvation, which is in total agreement with what God revealed through the prophets of the Old Testament and through Jesus in the Gospels, is simple and direct: seek to be faithful to the Father’s laws, and He will send you to the Son for the forgiveness of sins. In contrast, the plan of salvation based on the false doctrine of “unmerited favor” cannot resolve the difficulties and contradictions, even if it were detailed in a thousand books. Yet, this doctrine is loved by all, for it offers the illusion that it is possible to enjoy the pleasures of this world and still be received in heaven with smiles and hugs. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. The end has already come! Obey while you are alive. | “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)
In the words of Jesus recorded in the four gospels, there is no mention of a separate plan of salvation for the Gentiles. The way has always been the same for everyone: to believe in the Messiah sent by the Father and to obey the laws that God revealed to the nation He set apart for His honor and glory. Thus, any Gentile can indeed be sent to the Son for forgiveness and salvation, but only if they seek to follow the same laws given to Israel in the Old Testament. Any doctrine of salvation that did not come from the lips of Jesus does not come from the Father, but from the enemy, whose strategy since Eden has been to lead souls into disobedience. 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)
The serpent has only one mission on earth, and it is determined to follow it to the end: to lead every human being to disobey God. Unfortunately, millions of souls have already fallen into its trap, living in open disobedience to God’s laws, revealed to the prophets and to Jesus, based on the false doctrine of “unmerited favor.” They deceive themselves, believing they are pleasing God and that they will ascend with Christ. Jesus never taught such an absurdity. What Jesus taught 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 does not send declared disobedient ones to His Son. | “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them; and I will raise them up at the last day.” (John 6:44)
Salvation is individual, but many feel secure by being part of a large religious group. This confidence in the majority is fatal, because the majority of Gentiles today follow a plan of salvation that did not come from the lips of Jesus nor has support from the Lord’s prophets who came before the Messiah. Multitudes believe they can be saved without obeying the laws that God gave to the nation He set apart for Himself, but this path was never approved by the Father. Jesus taught that no one comes to the Son unless the Father sends them , and the Father only sends those who please Him through obedience. 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 great difference between the Israel of God and rabbinic Judaism. The rabbis created their own religion which, in addition to the Old Testament, considers other writings as sacred. Over the centuries, they also added their own doctrines and traditions. The Israel of God, on the other hand, is composed of Jews and Gentiles faithful to the eternal covenant of circumcision made with Abraham and to the laws given to the chosen people. When giving His laws to Moses, God emphasized that everyone, including Gentiles, should follow them. Any Gentile can join the Israel of God by following the same laws given to Israel. The Father observes his faith and courage, unites him to Israel, and leads him to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. Jesus is the Messiah promised to Israel for the forgiveness of sins. | “The assembly must have the same laws for you and for the foreigner living among you; this is a lasting ordinance.” (Numbers 15:15)
The simple fact of considering oneself a Christian does not guarantee that the Blood of Christ will be applied to the person. Jews or Gentiles, the sacrifice of the Lamb has always been intended for those who seek, from the heart, to obey the powerful and eternal Law of God. By demonstrating reverence through obedience, the soul pleases the Father, who blesses it and sends it to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. There is no other way to reach the Lamb except through obedience. Jesus taught obedience to the apostles and, just 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 the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew 7:21)
The sacrifice of Jesus is a gift from God for His faithful children, who love Him and demonstrate this love by seeking, with all their strength, to obey His holy and eternal laws. Every human being is born in sin and needs Christ, but God does not send everyone to Christ, only those who please Him. The only way to please God is through faithfulness to His instructions. Not a drop of the Lamb’s blood will be applied to those who live in declared disobedience to the laws that the Lord gave to the prophets in the Old Testament and to Jesus in the Gospels. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. The end has already come! Obey while you are alive. | “My mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God [Old Testament] and put it into practice.” (Luke 8:21)
The millions of Christians who live in disobedience to the commandments of God revealed in the Old Testament did not arrive at this by chance , they were taught this way. Each generation inherited doctrines that arose years after the ascension of Jesus; doctrines created to ease the conscience and keep Gentiles away from the obedience that leads us to the Lamb. But God does not ignore those who lead His sheep astray. Every leader, from ancient times until today, who taught the people to despise the holy commandments of the Lord, will give account before the Throne and receive just punishment. The Father is just and does not acquit the guilty. Do not follow the majority , obey while you are alive. | “Oh! My people! Those who guide you mislead you and destroy the way of your paths.” (Isaiah 3:12)
