God’s formula for deciding whom He sends to Jesus for salvation is a mystery that not even the angels know. But one thing the Lord has revealed to us clearly: He is pleased with those who obey Him. The only way to be included among those whom the Father sends to the Son is to faithfully obey each of His powerful commandments , those given to us by the prophets in the Old Testament and by the Messiah Himself in the four Gospels. No commandment, however small, can be ignored, altered, or softened. This is true faith, the one that moves the Father’s heart and opens the way to salvation. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority , obey while you are alive. | “I have revealed your name to the men you gave me out of the world. They were yours, and you gave them to me; and they have obeyed your word [the Old Testament].” (John 17:6)
Everything the human race needs to know about salvation was taught by Jesus. He is the highest and final authority for all of us. When doubts arise, it is to His words that we must turn. In none of the four Gospels did Jesus mention the absurdity that obeying the laws that God gave us through the prophets in the Old Testament would be rejecting the Messiah. This diabolical teaching did not come from the lips of Christ, but from men who appeared years after His ascension, guided by the spirit of deception. The true disciple follows what Jesus taught: obedience to the Father’s Law and faith in the Savior He sent. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority , 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)
The devil influences people through other people. As soon as Jesus returned to the Father, the serpent used talented men to convince us gentiles to believe the lie that we need to disobey some of God’s laws to ascend with Christ: circumcision, the Sabbath, unclean meats, and others. Neither the prophets nor Jesus taught such a thing. The apostles and disciples of Jesus, who learned how to live directly from His lips, were faithful to every law that God gave us in the Old Testament , and we gentiles are no different at all. If we want to inherit eternal life, we must live as they lived: believing in the Son and faithful to the Father’s Law. | 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 them to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
The greatest deception of the Christian is to believe that he will have time later to obey God, when the only opportunity to show faithfulness to the Creator is now, while he breathes. Obedience does not begin at judgment, but in daily life, when a man decides to honor each commandment exactly as it was given by the prophets and reaffirmed by Jesus. The truth is simple and unchanging: no one belongs to the people of God while ignoring His commandments. It was this way in Eden, in the desert, in the days of the prophets, and in the days of Christ. The apostles lived in total faithfulness to the Father’s Law, and all who truly wish to be accepted by Him must follow the same path: obey while you are alive. | Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord! will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew 7:21)
None of the sermons that dominate churches today align with what God instructed us through the prophets and the Messiah. The Lord never changed His requirements nor simplified His laws to please men. The orders are clear: we must fulfill each commandment exactly as it was given, without reservations or exceptions. Partial obedience is disguised disobedience, and whoever lives this way will never please the Father. Jesus was faithful to all the Father’s laws and taught His disciples to do the same. The Father only sends to the Son those who please Him through total obedience. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority , obey while you are alive. | “Do not add to or take away anything from the commandments I give you. Simply obey the commandments of the Lord your God.” (Deuteronomy 4:2)
Any effort to approach Jesus without going through the Father will be in vain. Someone may exalt Jesus all their life, but if the Father does not bring him to the Son, it will all be in vain. Jesus said clearly that no one comes to Him unless the Father brings him. For us to be brought to the Son and receive forgiveness and salvation, we must please the Father, and this is done through obedience to the same laws that were given to Israel, the nation chosen by God Himself. The Father sees the faith and courage of this gentile, despite the challenges. He pours out His love upon him, unites him to Israel, and leads him to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. This is the plan of salvation that makes sense because it is true. | “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted by the Father.” (John 6:65)
God hears the prayers of those who obey Him. Raised hands, altered voice, or background music do not convince the Most High. He is not impressed by appearances, but by faithfulness. The Lord inclines His ears only to those who love Him by striving to fulfill all the commandments He revealed to the prophets in the Old Testament and to the Messiah in the four Gospels. The disobedient speak much, but their words do not rise. The obedient speak little, but are heard. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority , obey while you are alive. | “We receive from Him whatever we ask because we obey His commandments and do what pleases Him.” (1 John 3:22)
When we die, each soul goes to the final destination it chose. The prophets and Jesus taught that we must obey the Father to inherit eternal life. Many claim, however, that disobeying God’s laws does not affect salvation. Do not accept this, for there will be no other chance after death. What needs to be done to ascend with Christ must be done now, while we are alive. 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, despite the challenges. He pours out His love upon him, unites him to Israel, and leads him to the Son 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 remains firm in My covenant, I will also bring them to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
In the lake of fire, many Christians will remember how many times they heard “this is no longer necessary” from their leaders and how many times they accepted this without checking if Jesus taught such a thing in the four gospels. Their hatred will be great, because they were led by men who despised the powerful and eternal Law of God. But there will be no return, because the truth was available the whole time. Jesus never stated that gentiles would be saved without obeying the Father. There is only one plan of salvation, and Christ confirmed it by training apostles and disciples in total obedience. Jews or gentiles, we must live as they did, keeping the Sabbath, circumcision, forbidden meats, tzitzits, the beard, and all the other statutes of the Lord. Salvation is individual: 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)
Nothing in the Scriptures is clearer than the laws of God. Everyone understands what it means not to steal, not to kill, not to commit adultery, to keep the Sabbath, to wear the tzitzit, to keep the beard, and to follow the other laws. The gentile who knows these laws but chooses not to obey has already lost any basis for defense at the final judgment due to his conscious disobedience. Claiming that he disobeyed because Jesus died on the cross will not be accepted, since Jesus never taught this. And saying that he learned it from someone else will not be accepted either, for there are no prophecies about anyone coming after Jesus with the mission to change God’s laws 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 because they are many. 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 them to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
