Preachers and writers often talk about God’s plan for people’s lives, using Christian jargon and catchphrases, but rarely mention the key to God’s revelations: obedience. God does not reveal His plan to those who know His laws but do not follow them. Only when the soul rejects the serpent’s temptations and begins to obey the laws God gave to the prophets in the Old Testament and to Jesus in the Gospels will it have access to the Throne. Only then will God guide, bless, and send it to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. 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)
Faithfully following the laws that the Creator gave us through His prophets in the Old Testament is the basic requirement to be in harmony with Him and to be sent to the Lamb for forgiveness and salvation. There is no way around this. Any argument claiming that the Father will send someone to the Son while living in disobedience to His laws is invalid, for it contradicts everything God has taught us from the patriarchs, prophets, kings, to Jesus. Claiming to have learned this from human beings who appeared after Christ’s ascension is also invalid, because there are no prophecies about the sending of any man after Christ, whether inside or outside the Bible. There is no escape: the Father will not send declared disobedient people to the Son. | “You have commanded your precepts, that we should keep them diligently.” (Psalm 119:4)
Follow me! Every time Jesus called someone to follow Him, the invitation was always directed to members of His community, the people who, since the days of Abraham, followed the same religion, founded on the perpetual covenant established by God. Jesus never called gentiles, for He came exclusively for His people, and this remains unchanged. However, the Lord does not show favoritism, and any gentile can attain blessings and salvation by joining the Israel of God, following the same laws that the Father gave to His chosen people. The Father observes our faith and courage, even in the face of strong opposition, and we are sent to Jesus. This is the plan of salvation that makes sense because it is true. | “Jesus sent out the Twelve with the following instructions: Do not go among the gentiles or into any town of the Samaritans; but rather to the lost sheep of the people of Israel.” (Matthew 10:5–6)
Let it be clear: the devil is just a creature, like any other. Contrary to what some believe, God is not competing with the devil for the souls of the gentiles. The serpent inspired men to create a false plan of salvation that exempts gentiles from obeying God’s eternal laws, something Jesus never taught. But if someone prefers to listen to the serpent, God will not stop him, just as He did not stop Eve. The truth, however, is that our salvation comes by following the same laws that the Father gave to the chosen nation for His honor and glory. The Father is pleased with our faith and humility, unites us to Israel, and leads us to Jesus. This is the plan of salvation that makes sense, because it is the true one. | The foreigner who binds himself to the Lord, to serve Him, thus becoming His servant… and who holds fast to my covenant, I will also bring to my holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
The idea that the commandments God gave us in the Old Testament were only for the Jews and not for the gentiles has no support whatsoever in the four Gospels. Jesus never made a distinction between Jews and gentiles when it came to obedience to the Father’s will. That is why those who defend this diabolical error never quote the words of Christ and rely only on writings that appeared years after His ascension. But if Jesus, the only direct spokesperson of the Father, did not teach us this doctrine, it is because it is false. The Son and the Father speak the same language: that of obedience. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority , obey while you are 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)
God never abandoned Israel, although many individuals within Israel abandoned God. We, the gentiles, need to accept this truth, for salvation comes from the Jews. Rejecting the Israel of God is rejecting the process that the Lord established to bring blessings and salvation to all nations, as promised to Abraham in the perpetual covenant. There is no way to come to 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 disobedient people 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. The end has already come! Obey while you are alive. | The Lord your God has chosen you, Israel, to be His own people, out of all the peoples on the face of the earth. Deuteronomy 7:6
After Eden, obeying the Law is no longer sufficient for salvation, because sin has contaminated the entire human race. We need the sacrifice of the Lamb to be purified. But it is when we decide to be faithful to the Father’s Law that He sends us to the Son so that we may be saved , and the Son does not lose any of those whom the Father sends Him. The apostles and disciples understood this divine principle perfectly; that is why they not only recognized that Jesus was the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world, but also faithfully obeyed all the laws that the Lord revealed in the Old Testament. We, the gentiles, need to live exactly as they lived, if we truly wish to inherit eternal life. Do not follow the majority , obey while you are alive. | “And this is the will of Him who sent me: That I should lose none of all those He has given me, but raise them up at the last day.” John 6:39
The gentile who truly believes in Jesus must be willing to live exactly as He and His apostles lived, so that his faith results in blessings and salvation. Jesus taught, both by words and by example, that claiming to love God without faithfully obeying all His commandments is useless. 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. The Father sees the faith and courage of this gentile, despite the difficulties. 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. Do not be swayed by the majority just because they are many. We have reached the end. | “Here is the perseverance of the saints, those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)
Many claim to be followers of Jesus, but live as enemies of God, openly rejecting His holy and eternal Law. They do not keep the Sabbath, eat unclean meats, are not circumcised, and disobey the other laws that all the apostles and disciples obeyed. They reassure themselves because they are surrounded by people who believe and practice the same. They confuse popularity with divine approval, as if the number of voices could change what the Lord has decreed. But the Bible shows the opposite: God approves the few who fear and obey Him, while the majority reject the commandments delivered by the prophets and the Messiah. Do not trade truth for company. Salvation is individual. Obey while you are alive. | “Whoever says: I know Him, and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” (1 John 2:4)
The gospel that Jesus truly taught is demanding, but entirely possible for anyone who truly desires to inherit eternal life upon leaving this world. The proof of this is His apostles and disciples: simple, flawed, and limited men like all of us , and yet, they were saved. We, the gentiles, are neither better nor worse than they were; therefore, we must live exactly as they lived, obeying the entire powerful Law of God. They were circumcised, kept the Sabbath, maintained their beards, did not eat unclean meats, wore tzitzit, and observed all the other commandments. If they could do it, anyone can , you just need to love God enough to obey. 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)
