The Gentiles are so blinded by the doctrine of unmerited favor that they even claim the blasphemy that the heavy burden Jesus offered to relieve was the laws of the Father Himself, and not the weight of sin and eternal condemnation that the wicked carry. To claim that God sent His Son to “relieve” people of His holy and eternal Law goes beyond ignorance and spiritual blindness; it is something demonic and approaches the unforgivable sin. The truth is that no one is saved unless the Father sends him to the Son, and the Father will never send someone who lives in declared disobedience to His laws given to the prophets in the Old Testament and to Jesus. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. The end has already come! Obey 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)
No Gentile will be saved because he did not deserve it, but because he pleased God in his life, like Abraham, Enoch, Noah, Moses, David, Joseph, Mary, and the apostles. The false doctrine of “unmerited favor” has no support in the Old Testament nor in the words of Jesus in the Gospels. Worthiness is something that belongs to God, who searches hearts and decides for Himself whether someone is worthy or not. Jesus taught us that it is the Father who sends us to the Son, and the Father only sends those who follow the laws He gave to the nation set apart for Himself with an everlasting covenant. God observes us and, seeing our obedience even in the face of opposition, He unites us to Israel and leads us to Jesus. This plan of salvation makes sense because it is true. | “Blessed are those who hear the word of God [Old Testament] and obey it.” (Luke 11:28)
To claim that God’s powerful Law was changed or abolished is the same as accusing the Creator of having made a mistake in creation, as if something perfect needed correction. This is blasphemy. God is perfect in everything He does, and everything that comes from Him reflects that perfection, including all the laws revealed by the prophets. The Most High does not regret what He has commanded, nor does He revise His commandments to accommodate human disobedience. The Law is eternal and unchangeable, and it is precisely by seeking to obey the Father’s Law that the soul is recognized, accepted, and sent to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. Salvation is individual. Obey while you are still alive. | “Do not add to or subtract from the commandments I give you. Simply obey the commandments of the Lord your God.” (Deuteronomy 4:2)
Do not confuse God’s eternal Law with the traditions of the rabbis. Jesus always taught obedience to His Father’s Law, but severely rebuked the rabbis who mixed the Scriptures with human traditions. We, Gentiles, must do as the apostles did: obey the Law of the Father and the Son and reject any teaching that originates from men. Most churches today do not follow rabbinic traditions, but make the same mistake by promoting the doctrine of “unmerited favor,” something Jesus never taught. This lie was created by men inspired by the serpent, years after Jesus returned to the Father, to draw Gentiles away from obedience. 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)
When God made the covenant with Abraham, He already knew that the people would be unfaithful many times and that few would accept Jesus as the promised Messiah. Even so, the Lord made it clear that the covenant was perpetual and sealed it with the physical sign of circumcision. Nowhere in the Old Testament or in the words of Jesus in the Gospels does it say that Gentiles would have access to the Messiah without going through Israel. This lie of the serpent is taught in practically all churches and will be the cause of the perdition of millions of souls. 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. The end has already come! Obey while you are alive. | “Just as the laws of the sun, the moon, and the stars are immutable, so also the descendants of Israel will never cease to be the nation before God forever.” (Jeremiah 31:35-37)
Jesus is the Messiah of Israel, including both the descendants of Abraham and the Gentiles who have joined Israel. Jesus, His relatives, and all His apostles and disciples obeyed the laws of God revealed in the Old Testament: do not kill, do not steal, circumcision, keeping the Sabbath, wearing tzitzit, keeping the beard, and other commandments. Neither God the Father nor our Savior established different rules for the Gentiles. However, many churches are teaching a plan of salvation that Jesus never taught, created by men who arose years after Christ. Do not follow the majority, 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 him to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
When Jesus said that whoever believes will be saved, He was talking about believing that everything He taught came from the Father, and the Father never taught disobedience. At no time did Jesus say that following the commandments revealed in the Old Testament would prevent anyone from being saved; on the contrary, He lived in total faithfulness to the Law and taught His disciples to do the same. The popular idea that obeying the Law keeps one from salvation did not come from heaven, but from the serpent, whose goal has always been the same: to prevent us Gentiles from obeying God. The Father only sends to the Son those who honor Him through obedience. Salvation is individual. Obey while you are still alive. | Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord! will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven (Matthew 7:21)
The man of God, who was sent to condemn Jeroboam’s altar, had received a direct order from the Lord not to eat or drink in that city. However, another prophet, claiming to have spoken with an angel, persuaded him to disobey, and the unfaithful prophet died for his lack of obedience. In the same way, today, any soul who disobeys God’s laws in the Old Testament, justifying their disobedience with the words of some man, whether inside or outside the Bible, even if it is a highly respected person, will receive their due punishment. The Father does not send the disobedient to the Son. No Gentile will ascend without seeking to follow the same laws given to Israel, laws that Jesus Himself and His apostles followed. | “You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.” (Psalm 119:4)
Almost always, the people who say that no one can obey God’s laws have never even tried. They like this phrase because it sounds convincing and seems to free them to continue in sin. But this argument does not fool God, who knows the real reason why they do not follow His commandments. The truth is that no one will be blessed by God or saved by Jesus if they do not seek to follow all the laws He gave to the nation He set apart for His honor and glory. The Father observes the dedication of those who follow His laws, blesses them, and leads them to the Son. Any excuse for not obeying God is useless. | “Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith in Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)
The foundation that supports the entire Bible is the commandments of God. Since the fall in Eden, the Creator has given us His laws so that we would know exactly what He requires of us to be restored to the relationship we had before sin. This has always been the foundation of true faith. Contrary to what is taught in most churches, no one is washed by the blood of the Lamb while living in a way that displeases the Father. First, we seek to faithfully keep the commandments revealed by the prophets before the Messiah; then the Father is pleased, receives us as His own, and sends us to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. Salvation is individual. Obey while you are still 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 [Old Testament].” (John 17:6)
