The most desperate people at the final judgment will be those who expected to be saved; those who heard the countless warnings about obeying God’s laws and still chose not to obey. It will not be the wicked, for they already know in advance what awaits them, but rather those who knew the commandments of the Most High in the Old Testament, but chose to follow the majority because it was more convenient. But there is still a little time. 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, laws that Jesus Himself and His apostles followed. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. The end has already come! Obey God’s Law 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)
For centuries, the church has taught that the individual who decides to obey God’s laws is rejecting the Son of God and will be condemned at the final judgment. Without a drop of support in the Old Testament or in the words of Jesus in the four Gospels, they claim that by following Christ, the sinner cannot obey God’s Law, but also cannot intentionally sin (which is to disobey the Law). It is one contradiction after another, but no one cares, because what they really like about this doctrine is the illusion of being able to enjoy worldly pleasures and still ascend with Jesus. The truth is that we are saved by pleasing the Father and being sent to the Son, and the Father will never send declared disobedient ones to Jesus. | “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)
The devil needed special permission to attack Job because he was faithful to God’s Law and pleased the Lord in everything. Nothing has changed today. When we love God and seek to follow His laws, given to the prophets of the Old Testament and to Jesus, the devil does not have free access to our lives. On the rare occasions when we suffer his attacks, it is because he presented his case to God, and the Lord allowed it, knowing that we would emerge victorious and stronger. But this special protection from God does not exist for those who know His laws and ignore them. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. The end has already come! Obey while you are alive. | “The Lord guides with unfailing love and faithfulness all who keep His covenant and obey His requirements.” (Psalm 25:10)
Jesus harshly rebuked the Pharisees because they were replacing the powerful and eternal Law of the Father with human traditions. If obedience to the Law had been abolished for gentiles, as many churches teach, He would have made this explicit, but this heresy is not found in the four gospels, nor is there any promise of someone who would come after Christ with this mission. All the apostles, trained by Him, obeyed in everything: Sabbath, unclean meats, circumcision, tzitzits, beard, and all the other commandments, showing the only way to eternal life for Jews and gentiles. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | “The assembly must have the same laws, which will apply both to you and to the foreigner living among you; this is a perpetual decree.” (Numbers 15:15)
Starting with Abraham, God created a nation for Himself and sealed a perpetual covenant with the sign of circumcision, which would apply to Abraham’s descendants and to the gentiles in his household. History has shown that this covenant would remain in force even during long periods of rebellion. The coming of the Messiah did not change this covenant, the very Jesus stated that He came only for His people. However, any gentile can attain forgiveness and salvation in Christ, provided he joins himself to Israel. When a gentile decides to obey the same laws given to Israel, the Father receives him, honors him, and then sends him to the Son. This is the true plan of salvation, the only one revealed by God and lived by the apostles and disciples of Christ. Do not follow the majority, obey while you are alive. | “The assembly must have the same laws, which will apply both to you and to the foreigner living among you; this is a perpetual decree.” (Numbers 15:15)
God does not show favoritism, whether Jew or gentile; we must all walk the same path of obedience if we wish to ascend. In His wisdom, God chose the nation of Israel as the means by which all who desire may have access to His laws, the forgiveness of sins, and salvation. With the judgment and innocent death of Jesus, the Messiah, the symbolism of the sacrificial system was fulfilled. However, this does not change our obligation to follow the same laws given to the prophets in the Old Testament. As it has always been, only those who wholeheartedly seek to obey God’s laws benefit from the blood of the Lamb for the forgiveness of sins. The Father does not send the disobedient to the Son. | “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)
Many leaders teach that the Messiah came to free us from obedience, when He actually came to free us from sin and to teach us faithfulness to the Father. Jesus was faithful to the Law and for more than three years taught the apostles to live as He did. They all kept the Sabbath, ate only the meats permitted by God, did not shave their beards, wore tzitzits, and were circumcised according to the eternal covenant. Most churches lie and teach gentiles to live without these signs of faithfulness. But the Father does not send to the Son those who despise His laws; He sends those who honor Him with obedience, both Jews and gentiles. Do not trade the Messiah’s path for the religion of the crowd. Salvation is individual. Obey while you are alive. | “The assembly must have the same laws, which will apply both to you and to the foreigner living among you; this is a perpetual decree.” (Numbers 15:15)
The Creator’s warning in Eden was clear: “On the day you eat of it, you will surely die.” That moment defined the destiny of all humanity. And the only way to prove to God that we do not want eternal death is by doing the opposite of what Adam and Eve did, by obeying, not disobeying. They violated one commandment; we must seek to obey them all. That is the difference between life and condemnation. Do not be deceived: the Father only sends to Jesus the gentile who follows the same laws He gave to Israel, the people He set apart for Himself with an eternal covenant, sealed by circumcision. 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)
God created billions of human beings and can create trillions more if He so wishes. The idea that He is in love with everyone and suffers when they ignore His laws to follow their own desires is a fantasy with no basis in the prophets or in the words of Christ. The free will that God gave to all rational beings includes the choice to obey or not His laws, given to the prophets of the Old Testament and to Jesus in the Gospels. The choice is individual and determines the final destiny of each soul, and the Lord accepts without issue whatever each one decides. The reality is that 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. The end has already come! Obey while you are alive. | “You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.” (Psalm 119:4)
The simplicity of the true plan of salvation is remarkable. The way has always been clear and has never changed. This is the plan that has been in effect since the beginning, and the Gospels do not record Jesus making any changes to it. We, the gentiles, are saved by following the same laws that the Father gave to the chosen nation for His honor and glory, the same ones that Jesus, the apostles, and the disciples obeyed. When the Father recognizes our sincere dedication, He unites us with Israel and then sends us to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. This is the plan that makes sense because it is genuine, eternal, and comes from God Himself. 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)
