The only way to reach Jesus is through Jesus’ Father, and the only way to reach the Father is by uniting with the people He chose for Himself with an eternal covenant. Whether we like it or not, God did not choose many peoples, but only one: Israel. This is the only and true divine process to achieve salvation, for, as Jesus made clear, salvation comes from the Jews. Trying to bypass the process established by the Father to access the Son is futile. Salvation is individual. No Gentile will rise 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. | 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)
The advocates of the doctrine of “unmerited favor” claim that people can obey God, but not to achieve salvation, for if obedience is with the purpose of being saved, they would be trying to ”earn” salvation, which, according to them, is ”rejecting Christ” and leads to hell. But why would someone die to this world, not steal, not commit adultery, turn the other cheek, and follow all the orders of the Father and the Son, if all the while they have to remember that none of this contributes to their salvation? And for what reason would the Lord give us these commandments? Jesus never taught this absurdity. No one will rise 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. | “Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.” Revelation 14:12
God never abandoned Israel, though many individuals within Israel abandoned God. We Gentiles must accept this truth, for salvation comes from the Jews. Rejecting God’s Israel is rejecting the process the Lord established to bring blessings and salvation to all nations, as promised to Abraham in the perpetual covenant. There is no way to reach Jesus without going through this process. Jesus made it clear that no one comes to the Son unless the Father sends him, but the Father does not send declared disobedients to Jesus; He sends those who seek to follow His laws, given to Israel, laws that Jesus Himself and His apostles followed. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | The Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth. Deuteronomy 7:6
For centuries, churches have taught things Jesus never said. They put non-existent instructions and warnings into the words of Christ in the four Gospels. They teach that Jesus’ death would exempt Gentiles from obeying His Father’s laws to be saved, and that if someone insists on obeying the Father, they would be rejecting the Son and lose their salvation. None of this came from the lips of Jesus, yet they teach it as if Christ wanted Gentiles to follow these lies to be saved. Since Eden, it is the serpent that teaches disobedience to God, not Jesus. Salvation is individual. No Gentile will rise 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. | “Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.” Psalms 119:4
The prophets of the Old Testament, such as Abraham, Moses, Jeremiah, and Isaiah, were the human beings with whom God communicated most directly. Through these faithful servants, He gave us instructions on how to be blessed and forgiven of our sins through the sacrifice of the Lamb. However, churches teach that the laws God gave through these messengers are no longer valid, and claim that those who insist on obeying these laws have rejected Christ and will go to hell. Jesus never taught such a thing, but people prefer to live in the illusion that, even while openly disobeying God, they will be welcomed into heaven with smiles and hugs. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | “Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.” Amos 3:7
Many Jews recognized, and Jesus confirmed, that John the Baptist was the one who would come in the spirit of Elijah, as prophesied in the Old Testament. Jesus Himself relied on the prophecies to show that He was the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Prophecies are essential to know what comes from God and what comes from the enemy. Neither in the Old Testament nor in the words of Jesus are there prophecies about sending someone, within or outside the Bible, to teach the doctrine of “unmerited favor,” used by millions to live in disobedience to God’s Law. Salvation is individual. No Gentile will rise 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. | “Notwithstanding they would not hearken unto me, but rebelled against me, and walked not in my statutes, neither kept my judgments, which if a man do, he shall even live in them.” Ezekiel 20:21
Many in the church think that the salvation of Gentiles began only after Christ returned to the Father, but this is not true. Two thousand years before Jesus was born, when God set apart a people for Himself and chose Abraham and his descendants, He also included the Gentiles who lived with Abraham in the eternal covenant sealed with the sign of circumcision. Nothing has changed. Today, we Gentiles are saved in the same way, by following the same laws that the Father gave to the chosen nation. The Father sees our faith and courage despite the challenges, unites us with Israel, blesses us, and sends us to Jesus for forgiveness and salvation. This plan of salvation makes sense because it is the true one. | “One ordinance shall be both for you of the congregation, and also for the stranger that sojourneth with you, an ordinance for ever in your generations: as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.” (Numbers 15:15)
We may not know much about the devil, but Jesus taught us that he is the father of lies. We also know that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Any teaching that is not in complete alignment with the words of Jesus, who is the truth, is a sign that it comes from the devil, whose language is lies. Millions in churches live in open disobedience to God’s laws given to the prophets in the Old Testament, based on the doctrine of “unmerited favor,” something Jesus never taught, and therefore comes from the enemy. What Jesus taught is that no one comes to the Son unless the Father sends him, but the Father does not send declared disobedients to Jesus; He sends those who seek to follow His laws, laws that Jesus Himself and His apostles followed. | “And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.” John 6:65
An extraordinary thing Jesus said is that His sheep do not follow another voice, only His. This means that any doctrine that did not come from the lips of Christ must be ignored by those who are part of His flock. It also means that everything necessary for salvation is in the four Gospels. The doctrine of “unmerited favor” is not in the Gospels, but arose after Jesus’ ascension. Though popular, this teaching comes from the serpent, with the same goal as in Eden: to make people disobey God. Salvation is individual. No Gentile will rise 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. | “He that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.” John 10:2-5
The sacrifice of Jesus is a gift from God to His faithful children, who love Him and show this love by striving 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 fidelity to His instructions. No 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. Obey while you are alive. | “My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God [Old Testament] and do it.” Luke 8:21
