The soul that desires to please God and ascend with Jesus must have this phrase as a principle of life: “I may not understand everything in the Scriptures, but I know that my Creator gave me laws to obey, and with all my strength, I will seek to follow them faithfully. May God do with me as He wills, but His laws I will obey.” This was the spirit of Job, who said: ”Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him.” God never abandons this kind of person; He gently leads them to still waters and sends them to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. The end has already come! Obey while you are alive. | “You have laid down your precepts, that we should fully obey them.” (Psalm 119:4)
A Christian cannot be light or salt to the world while living in disobedience. Light does not come from rebellion, and salt does not preserve without aligning with the Creator. Millions of people who claim to be followers of Jesus openly ignore the commandments of the Father of Jesus, believing that attending churches replaces faithfulness. However, all the apostles and disciples of Jesus obeyed God’s laws. Those who reject the commandments may even speak of Jesus, but do not reflect His light nor carry His salt. 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 only way to ensure a healthy, blessed spiritual life, full of protection and peace, with the certainty of ascending with Jesus, is to obey fully the laws of God revealed in the Old Testament and the words of Jesus in the Gospels. The person who lives this way continually experiences the hand of God guiding, protecting, and blessing their life. This is not difficult. There may be challenges at first, but when God sees that the person’s decision is sincere and permanent, He straightens the crooked paths until the difficulties disappear. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority just because they are many. The end has already come! Obey while you are alive. | “Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!” (Deuteronomy 5:29)
If the plan of salvation taught today were true, it would have been taught by Jesus. But it was not. In the days of the Messiah and the apostles, there was no salvation without total obedience to the Law of God given to the prophets of the Old Testament. Both Jews and gentiles needed to walk in faithfulness to benefit from the blood of the Lamb. The idea that someone can be saved while living in disobedience only appeared years later, when men, inspired by the serpent, began to teach what Jesus never taught. This plan did not come from heaven. The Father only sends to the Son those who honor Him through obedience. Salvation is individual. Do not follow the majority. Obey while you are still alive. | “The assembly is to have the same laws for you and for the foreigner living among you; this is a lasting ordinance.” (Numbers 15:15)
Since Eden, the devil has had a single goal for humanity: to prevent man from obeying God. This has always been the center of the spiritual battle. That is why the plan of salvation that most churches teach, based on the comfortable lie of “unmerited favor”, is false and serves as the tool by which the serpent continues to achieve his purpose. The truth remains unchanged: there are not two plans of salvation; there is only one. The gentile who does not follow the same laws that God gave to the nation He set apart for Himself does not please the Father and, therefore, is not sent to Jesus for forgiveness and salvation. 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 fast to My covenant, I will also bring him to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
All beings in heaven live in holiness. To be holy implies two fundamental points: total obedience to God’s laws and separation from everything that is contrary to Him. Lucifer was holy, until he disobeyed; Adam and Eve were holy, until they fell. It is absurd that churches preach sanctification without obedience to the laws that God gave through the prophets in the Old Testament and through Jesus in the Gospels. Sanctification and rebellion are opposites. The gentile who truly wishes to sanctify himself must first obey God’s laws. By doing so, he will have access to the Throne, and the Father will guide him on the holy path and send him to the Son for forgiveness and salvation. | “The Lord guides with unfailing love and constancy all who keep His covenant and obey His requirements.” (Psalm 25:10)
God’s revelations require prior authority and delegation to be valid. We know that Jesus is the one sent by the Father because He fulfilled the prophecies of the Old Testament, but there are no prophecies about sending other human beings with new teachings after Christ. Everything we need to know about salvation ends in Jesus. The gentile who is not satisfied with what Jesus taught and seeks comfort in the teachings of men who arose after Christ returned to the Father has already been deceived by the serpent, just as Eve was in Eden. No one will ascend without following the laws of the Father in the Old Testament; laws that Jesus Himself and His apostles followed. Only fools follow the majority just because they are many. | The foreigner who joins himself to the Lord, to serve Him, thus becoming His servant… and who holds fast to My covenant, I will also bring him to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
Many Christians live in rebellion against God, but expect everything to end well because they follow the same teachings as most of their friends; they feel safe belonging to a large group, as if the crowd were proof of truth. However, when we read the Scriptures, we see that it was always only a few souls whom God approved, and that the majority, in every age, rejected the laws that the Lord revealed through the prophets who came before the Messiah and through the Messiah Himself. Do not trust doctrines without a basis in the words of Jesus; trust in obedience to the Law of God, which leads us to the Lamb. 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 of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)
If there were a plan of salvation for gentiles outside of Israel and without the laws that God gave to Israel, this would imply that God had broken the eternal covenant He made with Abraham, by which other peoples would be blessed through him. However, in no gospel did Jesus say He came to found a new religion for the gentiles, separate from Israel. Any gentile can be brought to Jesus by the Father and be saved, but must follow the same laws He gave to Israel, the nation chosen for His honor and glory. The Father sees the faith and courage of this gentile, despite the challenges, 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 foreigner who joins himself to the Lord, to serve Him, thus becoming His servant… and who holds fast to My covenant, I will also bring him to My holy mountain. (Isaiah 56:6-7)
Jesus knew that after Him men would arise teaching false doctrines that do not come from the Father. For this reason, He guaranteed that the Holy Spirit would bring to remembrance His words and examples, so that we would know what is true and what is false. The doctrine of “unmerited favor,” taught in many churches, is totally false and heretical, for it is not found in the four gospels. What exists in the gospels is the example of Jesus and the apostles on how Jews and gentiles should live. They all kept every commandment of God: the Sabbath, circumcision, forbidden meats, the use of tzitzits, the beard, and all the other statutes of the Lord. 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 of Jesus.” (Revelation 14:12)
