God does not evaluate us based on a point system, where each obeyed law makes us gain and each ignored one makes us lose, and in the end, if we accumulate enough, we are approved. This understanding is incorrect and has no basis in Scripture. God’s approval comes when the soul decides, with all its strength, to be faithful to all the laws that the Lord revealed through the prophets and His Son. This requires great determination to please God and is not for the weak, which is why few make this decision. Only these few find the narrow gate mentioned by Jesus. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.” Psalms 119:4
The two most important things God did to restore the relationship with the human race after the fall were, first, to give us His laws so that we could understand what He demands of us, and second, to send His Son as the final sacrifice for the sins of those who wish to be restored. The sending of the Messiah was prophesied and accompanied by signs so that we would know He was the Father’s sent one. But as for God’s laws, all are eternal, and there are no prophecies about any messenger, inside or outside the Bible, with the mission to cancel them, alter them, or adapt them. The truth is: 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. | “You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.” Psalms 119:4
The true value of free will will only be fully recognized in heaven, and only by those few who chose the narrow path and the small gate mentioned by Christ. These few will be greatly rewarded because, even under intense pressure from the church and family, they decided to follow with all their strength each of the holy laws that God gave to His prophets in the Old Testament and to Jesus in the Gospels. As for those who chose the broad path, who followed the majority in the church and lived in open disobedience to God’s laws, they will also receive the just payment for their personal choices. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. | “All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.” Psalms 25:10
Faithfully following the laws that the Creator gave us through His prophets in the Old Testament is the basic requirement to be in harmony with Him and be sent to the Lamb for forgiveness and salvation. There is no way around this. Any argument that claims the Father will send someone to the Son, even while living in disobedience to His laws, is invalid, as it contradicts everything God has taught us from the patriarchs, prophets, kings, to Jesus. Claiming to have learned this from human beings who appeared on the scene after Christ’s ascension is also invalid, because there are no prophecies about the sending of any man after Christ, whether inside or outside the Bible. There is no escape: the Father will not send declared disobedient people to the Son. | “You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.” Psalms 119:4
The soul that truly desires to be well with God the Father and Jesus must obey all the orders that were clearly given by the Lord through His prophets in the Old Testament and by His Son in the four Gospels. Why does something so obvious seem difficult for millions of people in the churches to understand? The sad truth is that many of them do not want to understand, because they know that if they are faithful to God, they will have to abandon many worldly pleasures that they still love. 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. Obey while you are alive. | “All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.” Psalms 25:10
Since Eden, the serpent has sought to make humans disobey God. Jesus, however, teaches us to faithfully obey the Father. He rebuked the leaders for loosening God’s Law given to the prophets of the Old Testament, revealing, for example, that adultery begins with a look and murder with hatred. Millions in the churches have been deceived and accepted the lie that now God no longer wants obedience to the laws, but only that they trust in Jesus to guarantee heaven, as if the Son had come to save declared disobedient people. The deception is evident, but they do not want to see it, because, just like in Eden, the serpent’s offer seems too good to refuse. As God warned: You will surely die. | “Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God [Old Testament] and obey it.” Luke 11:28
Jews and Gentiles are equal: both sinners who need God’s mercy and forgiveness to be saved. The only difference is that God decided to choose a small and fragile nation to bring His Messiah, and He chose Israel. At heart, we are all the same, and it could have been any other nation, but God chose Israel, and whether we like it or not, salvation comes from the Jews. We must accept this divine choice and abandon the illusory idea that there is salvation outside of Israel. Any Gentile can join Israel and be sent to Jesus by the Father for salvation, but they will need to follow the same laws that He gave to Israel, laws that Jesus Himself and the apostles followed. | The foreigner who joins himself to the Lord, to minister to him, to love the name of the Lord, and to be his servant… who holds fast my covenant, these I will bring to my holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
When God gave His laws to Israel, He was clear in saying that they should be obeyed exactly as given, applying to both Jews and Gentiles who were part of the people separated by the eternal covenant with Abraham. This is how Gentiles obtain forgiveness for their sins and salvation through Jesus, the Messiah of Israel. This original plan of salvation, created by God Himself, is the only one in existence and will remain until the end of this world. The plan of salvation taught by the churches emerged shortly after Jesus returned to the Father, being a creation of men inspired by the serpent, with the aim of diverting Gentiles from the truth that liberates and saves. | “The community is to have the same rules for you and for the foreigner residing among you; this is a lasting ordinance.” (Numbers 15:15)
Some people will never obey God’s holy and eternal commandments. No matter how much one argues, their hearts are already hardened. No matter how evident what God the Father revealed in the Old Testament about His Law and what Jesus taught in the Gospels, these souls will cling to any lie of the serpent, even without any support in Christ’s words. Trying to convince them, as Jesus said, is like casting pearls before swine. Those, however, who listen and accept to follow God’s laws—the same laws that Jesus and the apostles followed—will be blessed by the Father and sent to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!” Deuteronomy 5:29
At the final judgment, no argument will save the Gentile who consciously rejected God’s laws. Saying they did not know will be a lie, as the laws are in all Bibles. Relying on the doctrine of “unmerited favor” will not work, because Jesus never taught such a thing. Claiming to have learned from men who came after Christ will also not be accepted, as there are no prophecies about other men after Him. Following leaders will not be a justification, because salvation is individual. There is no valid excuse. 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. He pours out His love on them, unites them with Israel, and leads them to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. | “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
