For the Gentile today, obeying God’s laws exactly as they were given to His people in the Old Testament is inconvenient and requires an immense desire to please the Lord. That is why this Gentile receives many blessings and protection. Divine protection is abundant, for he automatically becomes a constant target of the forces of evil. The devil and his hosts fear the influence he can have on others. We are living in the last days, and God is calling some courageous Gentiles to break the lie of salvation without obedience that has been propagated since the ascension of Jesus. The Father does not send declared disobedient ones to the Son. | 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 them to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
Worthiness is something that belongs for the Lord to decide. God judged that Noah deserved to be saved from the flood, that Enoch and Elijah should be taken to heaven without experiencing death, and that Moses did not need to wait for the final judgment. He thought that David deserved Saul’s throne and that Mary deserved to be the mother of the Messiah. The doctrine that no one deserves anything from God is a human invention, inspired by the serpent. People like this phrase because it seems like a demonstration of humility, but in reality, they are avoiding obeying God’s laws, which both Jews and Gentiles were called to fulfill. The Father does not send the disobedient to the Son. | “You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.” (Psalm 119:4)
It is revealing to realize that the plan of salvation preached today cannot be found in the four Gospels. In Jesus’ day, no one was taught to ignore God’s Law to be saved; on the contrary, obedience was always the path that led to the blood of the Lamb, both for Jews and Gentiles. The “new gospel” that dispenses with the commandments revealed to the prophets who came before the Messiah only appeared years after the ascension, created by men inspired by the serpent, who preferred lies to the truth. But the true plan was not revoked. The Father does not send the disobedient to the Son. 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)
Since ancient times, Gentiles such as Jethro, Rahab, Ruth, Uriah, and Obed-Edom joined Israel, and God made it clear that the laws and blessings intended for the Jews also applied to them. This is the only path of salvation for Gentiles created by God, and the Lord made this evident to Abraham when He established His covenant of faithfulness, sealed by the act of circumcision: the Gentiles in his household would also be circumcised and become part of the covenant. All the relatives, friends, and apostles of Jesus were faithful to God’s laws, including circumcision, and in none of the four Gospels did Jesus teach that Gentiles were exempt from His Father’s laws. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. Obey while you are alive. | There shall be one law for the native-born and for the foreigner who lives among you. (Exodus 12:49)
The Messiah was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, both the natural descendants of Abraham and the Gentiles who joined Israel through faith and obedience to the laws given to the nation that God set apart for Himself. This means that the true plan of salvation involves Jews and Gentiles, but always through Israel. Jesus did not change this plan, and His apostles and disciples faithfully obeyed every one of God’s mighty commandments, without exception. We must also live this way, if we truly wish to rise with Christ. 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)
Jesus never needed to teach His listeners about observing the eternal laws of His Father. That is because they were all already faithful: they were circumcised, kept the Sabbath, wore tzitzit, had beards, just like He and His apostles. We must also know that Jesus never even hinted that Gentiles were exempt from these same laws. The idea that Jesus founded a new religion for Gentiles is false. The Gentile who wishes to be saved by Christ will have to follow the same laws that the Father gave to the chosen nation for His honor and glory. The Father observes our faith and courage, unites us to Israel, and sends us to Jesus. This is the plan of salvation that makes sense, because it is true. | 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)
Adam and Eve had the choice to follow God’s voice and live, but they chose death, not the first death, which we all face, but eternal death, the definitive separation from the Creator, the source of life. God, however, devised a plan of salvation so that all of us, descendants of Adam, would have the same right of choice they had in Eden: to obey or disobey. We are saved when we obey the commandments God gave us through the prophets in the Old Testament and through Jesus in the four Gospels. The Father sees our dedication, recognizes our faithfulness, and sends us to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. This plan of salvation makes sense because it is the true one. 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)
Many leaders wrongly teach that Gentiles only began to obtain salvation after Christ, but the Scriptures show the opposite: there was never a time when only Jews had access to the Blood of the Lamb, Jesus. Gentiles have always been able to draw near to the God of Israel through obedience to His mighty Law. On the other hand, the Father does not send the disobedient to the Son, whether Jew or Gentile. The apostles and disciples, who learned directly from the Messiah, understood this and sought to obey all the commandments: Sabbath, unclean meats, circumcision, beard, tzitzits, and other laws given to the prophets. Do not follow the teachings of men; follow Jesus. Obey while you are still alive and be blessed. | 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)
Our access to the spiritual world is limited, and that is why it is difficult to know if we are being deceived by some lie of the devil. That is why God left us His holy Law and instructed us through His Son. With all our strength and with the help of the Holy Spirit, we must strive never to stray from the laws the Lord gave us in the Old Testament. Furthermore, Jesus never prophesied about any man, inside or outside the Bible, who would be authorized to change even a jot or tittle of His Father’s Law. Do not be deceived: we are saved by pleasing the Father and being sent to the Son, and the Father is pleased with the Gentile who follows the same laws that Jesus and His apostles followed. | “You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.” (Psalm 119:4)
Many leaders teach that when we accept Jesus as Savior, we Gentiles become part of the chosen people, but, unlike the Jews, we can ignore God’s holy Law revealed in the Old Testament. However, this idea has no basis whatsoever in the words of the prophets or in the teachings of Jesus. At no time did the Lord declare that obedience would cease to be necessary. The blood of the Lamb does not cover the rebellious, but only those who seek to obey the entire Law of the Lord. This is how the apostles and disciples lived, in full harmony with the Father’s Law and the example of the Son. 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)
