Yehovah gave us a set of instructions He called the Torah. The Torah consists of the first five books of the bible. There are approximately 600 instructions in the Torah, some for men, some for women, some for Priests, some for children and others pertaining to the temple. The Complete Jewish Bible CJB Gods Commands 613 OT and 1050 NT Gods Instructions God’s Promises to Those Who Keep His Commands The Ten Commandments: God's Law of Love Video Marathon: The Ten Commandments 613 Laws of God Don't Just Hear Torah, Live Torah The purpose of life Video Taurat There is now one single law that rules both Jew and Greek alike: One law for Jews and Greeks: faith in the crucified and risen Jesus. That is why Paul can say in the very next breath after “neither Jew nor Greek”: “You are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s offspring, heirs according to the promise” (Galatians 3:28–29). Same promise. Same inheritance. Same law. No exceptions. No special tracks. This is what the Bible define sin Breaking the Sabbath? Yes (Exodus 20:8) — By working, shopping, or doing regular business on the 7th day. Gossip or Talebearing? Yes (Leviticus 19:16) — By sharing rumors or venting about others behind their backs. Dishonest Business/Time? Yes (Deuteronomy 25:13-15) — By cutting corners on the job or cheating an employer on hours. Holding a Grudge? Yes (Leviticus 19:18) — By keeping a mental scorecard or harboring hidden bitterness. Showing Favoritism? Yes (James 2:9) — By treating someone better because of their wealth or social status. Tuning Out God's Commands? Yes (Proverbs 28:9) — By actively closing your ears to the Law, which makes even your prayers detestable. Willful Ignorance? Yes (Leviticus 5:17) — By breaking a command even if you claim you "didn't realize" it; the Bible still holds you accountable. Refusing to Listen to Warning? Yes (Zechariah 7:11-12) — By stopping up the ears and making the heart like flint so the words of the Law cannot get through. Forgetting the Law Over Time? Yes (Hosea 4:6) — By neglecting to study or pass down the commandments until they are forgotten entirely. Replacing the Messiah's True Hebrew Name? Yes (Jeremiah 23:27, Exodus 23:13) — By substituting the original Hebrew name Yeshua (which means "Yahweh is Salvation") with translated names, which many scriptural literalists argue obscures His true identity, lineage, and the Hebrew roots of the faith. General Disobedience to God's Commandments? (1 John 3:4, Matthew 19:17) — By walking in intentional lawlessness and choosing not to live according to the rules and instructions laid out by the Father. Ignoring God's Appointed Days (Feasts/Moedim)? (Leviticus 23, Numbers 29:40) — By bypassing or replacing the set-apart calendar dates God specifically called "My Feasts" and commanded His people to keep forever. Instead keeping Pagan Christmas and Easter Violating God's Dietary/Food Laws? Yes (Leviticus 11, Deuteronomy 14) — By eating animals that God explicitly designated as unclean and forbidden, which defiles the body He called to be set apart. Teaching against obedience to God’s commandments is a betrayal of His Word because it directly undermines His authority in four ways: It Erases the Definition of Sin: Scripture explicitly defines sin as "the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4). If you throw out the Law, you destroy the only boundary that defines right from wrong. It Defies Yeshua’s Direct Warning: The Messiah specifically warned that anyone who breaks the commandments and teaches others to do so will be called the least in the Kingdom (Matthew 5:19).If "least" literally meant a low-ranking person inside the Kingdom, Yeshua would be saying that a carnal, commandment-breaking believer is somehow spiritually superior to John the Baptist. That makes no sense. But if "least" means the person who hasn't even entered yet (the mortal believer still waiting on the outside), the phrase makes perfect sense. Conclusion: Sin is the transgression of God's law (1 John 3:4) , then the key question is whether a particular action violates a command of God as revealed in Scripture. Therefore, determining what is or is not sin should come from God's Word rather than personal opinion, tradition, culture, or majority belief. If God commands it, obedience is righteousness; if God forbids it, disobedience is sin. The standard is not what people think, but what God has spoken. Spiritual separation from God: "Your iniquities have separated you from your God" (Isaiah 59:2). Ongoing sin creates distance in your relationship with God. Guilt, shame, and inner torment: Many people describe a heavy conscience, anxiety, or spiritual emptiness. Damaged character and bondage: Yeshua said, "Everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin" (John 8:34). Habits of lying, lust, anger, greed, etc., get stronger and harder to break. Earthly consequences: Broken relationships, health issues (e.g., from sexual sin, addiction, violence), financial ruin, loss of reputation, and legal problems. Eternal consequences: The New Testament warns that unrepentant, ongoing sin leads to spiritual death and hell (Romans 6:23 – "The wages of sin is death"). However, genuine repentance and faith Yeshua brings forgiveness. The Greatest Commandment And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.… And you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 2 Timothy 3:16 After the Ten Commandments, God gave the Israelites a vast body of laws, traditionally summarized as the Law of Moses, or the Torah. These laws, found primarily in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, provided a comprehensive framework for the Israelites' religious, social, and civil life. Jewish tradition holds that there are 613 commandments (known as the mitzvot) within this law. These commandments are often categorized into three main groups: Moral Laws: These are the ethical principles that reflect God's character and are universally applicable. The Ten Commandments are the core of this category, but it also includes principles like "love your neighbor as yourself" and prohibitions against gossip and injustice. Ceremonial Laws: These laws pertained to religious rituals and worship, designed to set the Israelites apart and teach them about holiness and atonement. They include instructions on: Sacrifices and Offerings: Detailed rules for different types of sacrifices for sin, peace, and thanksgiving. The Priesthood: Regulations for the priests (the tribe of Levi) and their duties in the Tabernacle. Festivals and Holy Days: Observances for events like Passover, the Day of Atonement, and the Feast of Tabernacles. Dietary Laws: The rules of kosher (clean and unclean) foods. Civil (or Judicial) Laws: These laws governed the daily life of the Israelite community and dealt with matters of justice, property, and social order. They were designed to create a just and compassionate society and included regulations on: Judicial Procedures: Rules for fair trials, the need for multiple witnesses, and punishments for various crimes. Property Rights: Laws concerning theft, damage, and inheritance. Social Justice: Specific protections for the poor, widows, orphans, and foreigners, reflecting God's concern for the vulnerable. The purpose of this extensive legal code was to establish Israel as a "kingdom of priests and a holy nation," distinct from the surrounding pagan cultures. The laws were not simply a list of rules, but a means to guide the Israelites in their covenant relationship with God and to prepare them for life in the Promised Land. Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them. 18 For I tell you truly, until heaven and earth pass away, not a single jot, not a stroke of a pen, will disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 So then, whoever breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do likewise will be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever practices and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.… The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; NIV The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. Psalms 19:7 Amsal 28:9 Siapa memalingkan telinganya untuk tidak mendengarkan hukum, doanya pun adalah kekejian. Pengkhotbah 12:13 Itulah keseluruhan ceritanya. Inilah kesimpulan terakhir saya: Takut akan Tuhan dan patuhi perintah-Nya, karena ini adalah kewajiban setiap orang. Roma 2:13 Karena bukan orang yang mendengar hukum yang benar di hadapan Allah, tetapi orang yang melakukan hukumlah yang akan dibenarkan. 1 Yohanes 2: 4 Jika seseorang berkata, "Aku mengenal Dia," tetapi tidak menuruti Perintah-perintah-Nya, dia adalah pendusta, dan kebenaran tidak ada di dalam dia. 5 Tetapi siapa yang menuruti firman-Nya, kasih Allah benar-benar telah disempurnakan di dalam dirinya. Dengan ini kita tahu bahwa kita ada di dalam Dia: … Taurat Tidak ada hukum Yehovah yang dihapus, diakhiri, dihancurkan, dihapus atau diterapkan secara berbeda apakah Yahudi atau bukan Yahudi (Kristen) Yehovah memberi kita satu set instruksi yang Dia sebut Taurat. Taurat terdiri dari lima buku pertama dari Alkitab. Ada sekitar 600 instruksi dalam Taurat, beberapa untuk pria, beberapa untuk wanita, beberapa untuk Pendeta, beberapa untuk anak-anak dan lainnya yang berkaitan dengan bait suci. Ayat-ayat berikutnya menjelaskan dengan sangat jelas bahwa Tuhan memberi kita pilihan yang memiliki hasil yang kekal. 16 Seluruh Kitab Suci dinafaskan oleh Tuhan dan berguna untuk mengajar, menegur, mengoreksi dan mendidik dalam kebenaran, 17 agar hamba Tuhan[a] diperlengkapi secara menyeluruh untuk setiap pekerjaan baik. 2 Timotius 3:16-17 (Perjanjian “Lama” dan “Baru” adalah pemisahan manusia dari firman Tuhan; seluruh Alkitab adalah instruksi Tuhan tentang bagaimana mengasihi Dia dan sesama kita. Dan itu berlaku untuk semua orang) _cc781905-5cde- 3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_ PENGHAKIMAN TERAKHIR "Dia yang menolak Aku dan tidak menerima kata-kataku memiliki satu yang menghakiminya: FIRMAN YANG AKU UCAPKAN, itulah yang akan menghakiminya di hari terakhir." Yohanes 12:48 Jika manusia menolak untuk menerima penghakiman Allah atas dosa di Kalvari dalam Mesias dan menolak untuk menghakimi diri mereka sendiri dengan Firman itu yang merupakan satu-satunya standar yang tidak dapat salah, maka yang tersisa hanyalah hukuman atas dosa mereka, yaitu penghakiman untuk kebinasaan. Kematian kekal adalah akibat dosa atas manusia yang belum lahir baru. Dan bangsa manakah yang begitu besar, yang memiliki ketetapan dan keputusan yang begitu adil seperti semua hukum ini, yang saya tetapkan di hadapan Anda hari ini? Ulangan 4:8 ● Seluruh Kitab Suci diilhami Allah dan berguna untuk mengajar, menegur, mengoreksi dan melatih dalam kebenaran, 17 sehingga hamba Allah mungkin diperlengkapi secara menyeluruh untuk setiap pekerjaan yang baik. 2 Timotius 3:16-17 Perintah yang saya berikan kepada Anda hari ini tidak terlalu sulit untuk Anda pahami, dan itu tidak di luar jangkauan Anda. Ulangan 30:11 Tuhan berkata Dia tidak berbohong atau mengubah pikiran-Nya dan membuat Anak-Nya jelas bahwa doktrin Allah bukanlah milik-Nya untuk diubah. Jika ada yang mengklaim bahwa hukum Tuhan telah diubah, bukankah mereka menyebut Tuhan pendusta? Bilangan 23:19 Karena Akulah Tuhan, Aku tidak berubah; oleh karena itu, kamu anak-anak Yakub tidak dikonsumsi Maleakhi 3:6 Jika dia menyebut mereka dewa, kepada siapa firman Tuhan datang, dan kitab suci tidak dapat dilanggar Yohanes 10:35 Instruksi Yehovah sempurna, menyegarkan jiwa. Ketetapan-ketetapan TUHAN dapat dipercaya, membuat orang bijak menjadi sederhana. 8Perintah TUHAN itu benar, membuat hati senang. Perintah-perintah TUHAN itu jelas, memberikan pengertian untuk hidup. 9 Penghormatan kepada TUHAN itu suci, tetap untuk selama-lamanya. Hukum TUHAN itu benar; masing-masing adil.10 Mereka lebih diinginkan daripada emas, bahkan emas terbaik. Mereka lebih manis dari pada madu, bahkan madu yang menetes dari sisir.11 Itu adalah peringatan bagi hambamu, pahala yang besar bagi mereka yang menaatinya. Mazmur 19:7 “Inilah perjanjian yang akan Kuadakan dengan orang Israel setelah waktu itu,” demikianlah firman Tuhan. “Aku akan menaruh hukum-Ku dalam pikiran mereka dan menuliskannya dalam hati mereka. Aku akan menjadi Allah mereka, dan mereka akan menjadi umat-Ku. Yeremia 33:31 ● Aku akan memberimu hati yang baru dan memberikan semangat baru di dalam dirimu; Aku akan mengeluarkan hati dari batu dari dagingmu dan memberimu hati dari daging. Aku akan menaruh Roh-Ku di dalam dirimu dan membuatmu berjalan menurut ketetapan-ketetapan-Ku, dan kamu akan berpegang pada penilaian-Ku dan melakukannya. Yehezkiel 36:26-27 1 Tesalonika 2:13 Dan kami juga mengucap syukur terus-menerus kepada Allah karena ketika kamu menerima firman Allah yang kamu dengar dari kami, kamu menerimanya bukan sebagai perkataan manusia, tetapi sebagaimana adanya, firman Allah yang memang ada. bekerja di dalam kamu yang percaya ● Pengkhotbah 12:14 Marilah kita mendengar kesimpulan dari seluruh masalah ini: Takut akan Tuhan dan menuruti perintah-perintah-Nya: karena inilah seluruh kewajiban manusia. Amsal 28:9 Siapa memalingkan telinganya untuk tidak mendengarkan hukum, doanya pun adalah kekejian. 1 Yohanes 3:4 Setiap orang yang melakukan dosa juga melakukan pelanggaran hukum (kejahatan). Memang, dosa adalah pelanggaran hukum. Keluaran 12:49 "Hukum yang sama berlaku untuk penduduk asli kepada orang asing yang tinggal di antara kamu." Ulangan 30:20 supaya kamu mengasihi TUHAN, Allahmu, supaya kamu menuruti suara-Nya, dan supaya kamu berpegang teguh kepada-Nya, karena Dialah hidupmu dan panjang umurmu; dan agar kamu dapat tinggal di tanah yang telah disumpah oleh Yehovah kepada nenek moyangmu Abraham, Ishak, dan Yakub, untuk memberikannya kepada mereka.” Yehezkiel 18:24 “Tingkah laku orang benar tidak akan menyelamatkan mereka jika mereka berbalik ke dalam dosa (dosa adalah pelanggaran hukum) dan tingkah laku jahat orang jahat tidak akan menghancurkan mereka jika mereka bertobat dan berbalik dari dosa mereka. (dan dibaptis) ● Yohanes 14:15 Jika kamu mengasihi Aku, kamu akan menuruti perintah-perintah-Ku. Matius 23:1 Kemudian Yeshua berbicara kepada orang banyak dan murid-murid-Nya: 2“Para ahli Taurat dan orang Farisi duduk di kursi Musa. 3 Jadi latih dan amati semua yang mereka katakan kepada Anda. Tetapi jangan lakukan apa yang mereka lakukan, karena mereka tidak mempraktekkan apa yang mereka khotbahkan ● 1 Timotius 1:8 Sekarang kita tahu bahwa Hukum itu baik, jika digunakan secara sah Mazmur 19: 7 Hukum (Taurat) Yehovah 7 itu sempurna, memberikan kekuatan baru bagi jiwa. Hukum yang Dia nyatakan pasti, menjadikan anak itu demikian pula. 8 Hukum Yehovah itu benar, menyenangkan hati. Firman Yehovah itu murni, menerangi mata. “Kitab Suci” yang dirujuk Timotius adalah apa yang oleh banyak orang disebut perjanjian lama, perjanjian baru belum ditulis. 2 Petrus 1:20-21 Tetapi ketahuilah ini pertama-tama, bahwa tidak ada nubuatan Kitab Suci yang merupakan masalah penafsiran sendiri. Amsal 10:8 Orang bijak akan menerima perintah, tetapi orang bodoh yang banyak bicara akan binasa Kebanyakan orang percaya bahwa hukum itu hanya untuk orang Yahudi atau dipakukan di kayu salib, namun, Yehovah berkata: Di bawah ini adalah bagan yang menunjukkan orang-orang penting sejak awal waktu, bagan tersebut mengidentifikasi apakah mereka orang Yahudi, dan apakah mereka mengikuti hukum dan patung Yehovah. Mereka akan disebut Israel sejati. Karena tidak ada perbedaan antara Yahudi dan Yunani; karena Tuhan yang sama adalah Yehovah adalah Elohim Tuhan segalanya, berlimpah kekayaan bagi semua orang yang berseru kepada-Nya; 13 untuk “SIAPA PUN YANG AKAN MEMANGGIL NAMA YEHOVAH AKAN DISELAMATKAN.

The Rose represents blessing and rewards, for those who keep Yehovah’s commandments, for those who refuse to practice sinning. The red color represents His blood His life, He shed for our sins, because of our disobedience. It comes with the crown of life. Gods gift to huminity the 10 commandments THE ROSE The Rose represents the blessings and rewards reserved for those who keep Yehovah’s commandments and refuse to live in deliberate sin. Its deep red color points to the life and precious blood of Yeshua , shed for our sins and disobedience, bringing with it the crown of life. The Thorns symbolize weeping, gnashing of teeth, and those left without hope. Because of our transgressions, Yeshua endured severe torture. The Nails represent the condemnation facing those who refuse to repent or keep the commandments —a judgment that ends in the second death. As Job 36:12 warns: “If they do not listen, they will perish by the sword and die without knowledge.” The decrees of Yehovah are completely trustworthy, imparting wisdom to the simple. The commandments of Yehovah are right, bringing pure joy to the heart. The directives of Yehovah are clear, illuminating how we ought to live. Reverence for Yehovah is pure, enduring forever. The laws of Yehovah are perfect truth ; every single one is fair and just. They are far more desirable than gold —even the finest, purest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping directly from the comb. By them Your servant is warned, and in keeping them there is great reward . (Psalm 19:7–11) The one who belongs listens and responds to Yehovah's words. If you don't listen and respond , it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47

These three words, show God's love by Obedience, the only place to find Truth is in His Torah, and if we are not in His spirit we can't, please Him. The thing that haunts me most in life is on the day of judgment, you say Daddy why didn't you make me listen? DAD Untuk putriku yang cantik, dan keluargamu Saya hanya ingin memberi tahu Anda betapa bangganya saya terhadap Anda masing-masing, sebagai seorang putri, istri, dan ibu. Dan sebagai ayah dan anak suami. Saya berencana untuk memberikan buku saya, tanpa keraguan dan DVD berjudul The Way, DVD ini menggambarkan bagaimana Tuhan memanggil anak-anak-Nya keluar dari Gereja. DVD menjelaskan mengapa ibumu dan aku meninggalkan gereja. Saya berencana untuk memberikan buku saya kepada Anda sebelum saya menjalani operasi, namun, editor saya sedikit tertekan dan saya tidak mengirimkannya ke penerbit tepat waktu, saya benar-benar ingin Anda memiliki buku sumber saya jika saya tidak melakukannya. berhasil melalui operasi, saya juga berpikir Anda akan lebih cenderung untuk mempelajarinya. Tuhan berkata tujuan hidup adalah untuk mematuhi perintah-Nya Pengkhotbah 12:13. dan bagaimana dia ingin kita hidup dan mencintainya. Itu semua ada di buku-buku pertama dari Alkitab, gereja menyebutnya hukum, tetapi Tuhan mengatakan itu adalah perintah-Nya. Intinya adalah, apakah kita akan hidup sebagai Putra-Nya dan mematuhi perintah-perintah-Nya, yang menuntun pada kehidupan kekal atau Anda akan mengikuti tradisi buatan manusia, gereja Anda yang menuntun pada kematian kekal. Yohanes 3:36 Ini terdengar kasar, tapi itulah yang Tuhan katakan. Ketika Anda mempelajari buku-buku saya, Anda akan menemukan dengan cepat ada ayat-ayat yang melekat pada semuanya. Tuhan berkata "Dosa adalah tidak mematuhi perintah-Nya" 1 Yohanes 3:4, dan bukti bahwa Anda dilahirkan kembali adalah bahwa Anda akan menolak untuk berbuat dosa 1 Yohanes 3:9. Ayat berikut ini adalah ayat yang tidak akan pernah Anda dengar di gereja. Kita semua mati satu kali kemudian kita dihakimi oleh Tuhan, Ibrani 9:27. Sekarang bagian baiknya, Dia mengutus Anak-Nya, Dia membayar dosa-dosa kita, Dia memakukan kutukan dosa dan maut ke kayu salib; bukan hukum Allah. Galatia 3:13, dia menunjukkan kepada kita bagaimana hidup dengan menjaga Hukum makanan-Nya, Memelihara Sabat, Menjaga HARI-HARI PERAYAAN TUHAN dan menjaga semua Perintah. Dia memberi tahu kita kabar baik bahwa kerajaan Allah akan datang ke bumi yang baru Lukas 4:43 itu adalah kubus seluas 1.300 mil yang Dia sebut Yerusalem baru dan kemudian Dia akan tinggal di antara kita. Kita harus bertobat, dibaptis dalam nama-Nya Yeshua dan kemudian Dia akan memberi kita Roh-Nya Kisah Para Rasul 2:38. Roh akan mengajar kita dan membantu kita menaati perintah dan ketetapan Allah. Bukti kita bahwa kita dilahirkan kembali adalah kita akan menolak melakukan perbuatan dosa, hidup kita akan terlihat seperti Dia. Kemudian kita akan menjalani hidup kita untuk menyenangkan dia. 1 Yohanes 3:9. Sejak itu, saya menulis ulang buku saya, setelah kami menerima buku-buku dari penerbit, ibu saya menemukan beberapa kesalahan, saya membayar untuk pemeriksaan ejaan, namun itu mengubah arti dari beberapa kata. Saya percaya Tuhan mengilhami saya untuk menulis buku-buku ini, perlu diingat Dia memilih orang-orang seperti saya karena saya harus menjadi orang terakhir yang Anda harapkan untuk menyatukan kata-kata-Nya dalam bentuk ini. Antara kedua buku, ada lebih dari 60.000 kata dan lebih dari 700 ayat Alkitab. Saya akan bangun hampir setiap pagi sekitar jam 3 pagi dengan ayat lain yang membuktikan bahwa firman Tuhan mendukung sebagian besar ajaran Kristen. Pertanyaan yang saya tanyakan pada diri saya sendiri adalah, apakah saya siap menghadapinyaPenghakiman Allah yang marah? Saya ingat bagaimana saya pikir saya cukup baik untuk menjadi yang pertama dalam antrean melalui gerbang mutiara. Saya pergi ke gereja dua kali seminggu, belajar Alkitab seminggu sekali, saya bersaksi kepada orang asing, saya mengumpulkan sepatu, boneka binatang, sikat gigi, saya memberi makan para tunawisma, bersaksi kepada pasien di panti jompo, kami membagikan lebih dari 30,00 lagu dan saya membangun 3 situs web Kristen, saya membawa orang asing ke rumah kami. Kami membantu begitu banyak orang sehingga kami kehilangan hitungan. Saya bisa terus berjalan; namun, saya tidak mematuhi perintah Tuhan, saya menolak untuk mengikuti instruksi makanan Imamat-Nya, saya tidak memelihara Sabat Kudus-Nya dan pergi ke gereja pada hari yang saya pilih. Saya merayakan Natal, Paskah, dan Halloween Pagan sambil makan makanan yang tidak bersih. Dan saya tidak mengajari anak-anak saya Perintah-perintah-Nya, atau bagaimana kami harus hidup seperti yang dilakukan Putra-Nya. Saya bangun setiap pagi memikirkan apa yang bisa saya katakan untuk membuat Anda melihat Anda berada di jalur yang sama dengan saya. Jumlah informasi yang saya berikan kepada Anda sangat banyak. Tetapi itu tidak mengubah fakta bahwa Tuhan menuliskan instruksinya di dalam Taurat-Nya lima buku pertama dalam Alkitab dan Dia mengharapkan setiap orang untuk menaatinya dan mengikuti serta menaati Anak-Nya. Ayat-ayat ini adalah: Firman Tuhan sendiri, menolaknya berarti menolak Tuhan itu sendiri, yang memiliki konsekuensi kekal. Orang yang menjadi milik Tuhan mendengarkan dan menanggapi firman Tuhan. Yohanes 8:47 Sebagai ayahmu, aku tidak akan pernah berhenti berusaha untuk melindungimu, bahkan sampai nafas terakhirku, aku rela memberikan hidupku dan bahkan jiwaku untuk melindungimu dan keluargamu. Tuhan memberkati saya dengan semua informasi ini. dan saya memberikannya kepada Anda. Tiga kata ini, tunjukkan kasih Tuhan dengan Ketaatan, satu-satunya tempat untuk menemukan Kebenaran adalah di dalam Taurat-Nya, dan jika kita tidak dalam Roh-Nya kita tidak bisa, tolong Dia. Hal yang menghantui saya yang paling dalam hidup adalah pada hari penghakiman, Anda berkata Ayah mengapa Anda tidak membuat saya mendengarkan? DAD

The real Jesus Watchman Message In the message in Hosea, Yehovah is saying my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. He is warning us that it is our responsibility to give them warning from Him, about the coming wrath that is coming on this earth. Our Father repeated these few verses, He wants us to understand that He is serious, and will hold us accountable if we don't warn them (“son of man" denotes mankind generally) Hebrew people, Tidak Ada yang Ingin Tahu Yeshua Matius 10:34-39 Oleh Pendeta Bryn MacPhail Jika saya meminta Anda hari ini untuk menyebutkan beberapa karakteristik Yeshua, apa yang akan Anda sebutkan? Jika Anda mendeskripsikan kepribadian Yeshua kepada seseorang, kata sifat apa yang akan Anda gunakan? Pikirkan beberapa di kepala Anda, dan saya akan membagikan kepada Anda hal-hal pertama yang muncul di benak saya. Tiga sifat yang langsung muncul di benak saya adalah: LEMBUT, PENGAMPUN, dan PENCINTA. Dugaan saya adalah sebagian besar dari Anda juga memikirkan Yeshua dalam istilah yang sama. Namun, ketika saya tiba di akhir pasal 10 dalam Matius, saya mendapatkan potret Yeshua yang sangat berbeda. Setelah membaca bagian ini, tidak banyak orang, sampai membaca bagian ini dalam Matius, mengetahui sisi Yeshua ini. Dan jika kita mengetahui sisi Yeshua ini, kita sering memilih untuk melupakannya. Kami sangat ingin mendengar bagaimana Yeshua mengasihi musuh-musuh-Nya, mengampuni pelacur, menyentuh penderita kusta, dan memberi makan yang lapar, tetapi hanya itu. Yeshua yang kita lihat di pasal 10, ayat 34-39–Yeshua ini, sejujurnya, adalah salah satu yang tidak ingin diketahui oleh siapa pun. Tetapi jika saya melewatkan bagian ini, Anda akan kehilangan sisi penting dari Yeshua.Sisi Yeshua yang MENUNTUT. Di sinilah Yeshua berada, apa yang mungkin Anda sebut "terus terang secara brutal". Dia tidak menahan apa pun di sini. "Jangan mengira bahwa aku datang untuk membawa damai di bumi; aku datang bukan untuk membawa damai, melainkan pedang" (ayat 34). Sungguh pernyataan yang mengejutkan! Yeshua "tidak datang untuk membawa damai, melainkan pedang"? Mengapa Dia mengatakan hal seperti itu? Apa yang Yeshua lakukan di sini adalah Dia mengoreksi asumsi yang salah tentang misi Mesias Yahudi. Menurut Yesaya 9:5-7, Mesias digambarkan sebagai "Raja Damai". Para penafsir Kitab Suci Ibrani mengartikan bahwa Mesias akan menjadi "Pangeran Damai" DI BUMI.Namun, itu bukanlah misi Yeshua. Tujuan akhir dari Injil bukanlah keharmonisan di bumi, tetapi DAMAI DENGAN ALLAH (Roma 5:1). Yeshua mengatakan, "Jangan berpikir bahwa saya datang untuk membawa perdamaian DI BUMI", tetapi Dia datang untuk mendamaikan Allah dan manusia (Roma 5:1). Aku akan mengirimi mereka masalah besar— BERTOBAT dan jalani semua hal yang mereka takuti. Ketika saya menelepon, mereka tidak menjawab. Ketika saya berbicara, mereka tidak mendengarkan. Mereka sengaja berdosa di depan mata saya dan memilih untuk melakukan apa yang mereka tahu saya benci.” Yesaya 66: 4 Lihatlah, Tuhan datang dengan api, dan keretanya yang cepat mengaum seperti angin puyuh. Dia akan mendatangkan hukuman dengan kemurkaan amarahnya dan nyala api dari tegurannya yang panas.16 Tuhan akan menghukum dunia dengan api dan pedangnya. Dia akan menghakimi bumi, dan banyak yang akan dibunuh olehnya.17 “Mereka yang 'menyucikan' dan 'menyucikan' diri mereka di taman suci dengan patungnya di tengah—berpesta dengan daging babi dan tikus dan daging menjijikkan lainnya—akan berakhir dengan mengerikan,” kata Tuhan. Yesaya 66:4 32“Setiap orang yang mengakui Aku secara terbuka di bumi ini, Aku juga akan mengakuinya di hadapan Bapa-Ku di surga. 33 Tetapi setiap orang yang menyangkal Aku di bumi ini, Aku juga akan menyangkalnya di hadapan Bapa-Ku yang di surga. 34“Jangan mengira bahwa Aku datang untuk membawa damai ke bumi!Aku datang bukan untuk membawa damai, melainkan pedang. 35'Aku datang untuk memisahkan orang dari ayahnya, anak perempuan dari ibunya, dan menantu perempuan dari ibu mertuanya. Musuhmu akan benar di rumahmu sendiri! 'l 37“Jika kamu mencintai ayah atau ibumu lebih dari kamu mencintaiku, kamu tidak layak menjadi milikku; atau jika Anda mencintai putra atau putri Anda lebih dari saya, Anda tidak layak menjadi milik saya. 38 Jika Anda menolak untuk memikul salib Anda dan mengikuti saya, Anda tidak layak menjadi milik saya. 39 Jika kamu berpegang teguh pada hidupmu, kamu akan kehilangannya; tetapi jika Anda menyerahkan hidup Anda untuk saya, Anda akan menemukannya. Matius 10:34-39 Pikul Salibmu dan Ikuti Yeshua Jika ada yang mau mengikuti saya, biarkan dia menyangkal dirinya dan memikul salibnya dan mengikuti saya 24 Kemudian Yeshua memberi tahu murid-muridnya, “. 25 Karena siapa pun yang ingin menyelamatkan nyawanya[a] akan kehilangan nyawanya, tetapi siapa pun yang kehilangan nyawanya demi aku akan menemukannya. 26 Karena apa gunanya seorang memperoleh seluruh dunia dan kehilangan jiwanya? Atau apa yang akan diberikan seseorang sebagai imbalan atas jiwanya? Matius 16:24 Dan setiap orang yang percaya kepada Anak Allah memiliki hidup yang kekal.Siapa pun yang tidak menaati Anak tidak akan pernah mengalami kehidupan kekal tetapi tetap berada di bawah penghakiman Allah yang murka.” Yohanes 3: 3Dan kita dapat yakin bahwa kita mengenalnya jika kita mematuhi perintah-perintahnya. 4Jika seseorang mengaku, “Aku mengenal Allah,” tetapi tidak menaati perintah-perintah Allah, orang itu adalah pendusta dan tidak hidup dalam kebenaran. 5 Tetapi mereka yang menaati firman Allah benar-benar menunjukkan betapa mereka mengasihi Dia sepenuhnya. Itulah cara kita mengetahui bahwa kita hidup di dalam Dia. 6 Mereka yang mengatakan mereka hidup di dalam Tuhan harus menjalani hidup mereka seperti yang Yeshua lakukan. 1 Yohanes 2:3 perintah. Mengapa kita tidak mengikuti satu-satunya contoh sempurna yang ada? “Jangan salah paham kenapa aku datang. Aku tidak datang untuk meniadakan hukum Musa atau tulisan para nabi. Tidak, saya datang untuk mencapai tujuan mereka. 8 Karena saya benar-benar memberi tahu Anda sampai langit dan bumi berlalu, tidak ada satu catatan pun, tidak ada goresan pena, yang akan hilang dari Hukum sampai semuanya selesai._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b -136bad5cf58d_ Kita harus mencari, melayani, dan mematuhi.
- False Salvation | Answers 4 Saints
False Salvation God cannot stand the prayers of anyone who disobeys his Law.Proverbs 28:9 Is Simple Salvation the Truth? False Salvation You were born into a ready made religion Can a Christian be Unconverted? Real Salvation 4 signs of a True Christian A true sign that Christians recognize Yeshua is our only Savior, therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, for, “Everyone who calls on the name of Yeshua will be saved.” True Christians keep the Law of God. True Christians walk as Yeshua walked and lived. True Christians must overcome sin. Spiritual Blindness The spiritually blind hear the truth, but they cannot see what it means. They cannot see the “big picture” of salvation, and they are unable to see how it applies to their own life. They have trouble confessing the truth because they have difficulty believing what they cannot see. For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; What are the 18 steps to salvation? Hear the Gospel. (Matthew 4:17John 8:32) Believe the Gospel (Hebrews 11:6, John 20:31) Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30) Confess faith in Jesus Christ (Romans 10:10, Matthew 10:32) Be Baptized (Galatians 3:27, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38) Be faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10) For all who obey him eternal salvation Hebrews 5:9 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.1 John 2:6 But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. James 1:2 And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. Romans 8:1 We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.” Acts 5:32 “whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved.Romans 10:13-15 For But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. Matthew 19:16-26 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life…John 3:15,16 For we live by faith, not by sight. (Hebrews 11:6) And without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.2 Corinthians 5:7 And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.” John 3: Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”John 3:3 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.James 2:17-23 Barns Group survey. "Believers don't care what the truth Is, or care what Yehovah desires from us. We are afraid of looking into, it because it will draw a line in the sand, we know we don't want to make those decisions because at the end of the day, we want what we want, we are comfortable with our lives we are comfortable out traditions that are man-made. But you have a thought that pops into your head that's not what it means to me. The issue is it doesn't matter to you it matters to Yehovah He is the one being worshiped." The problem facing the church is not that people lack a complete set of beliefs the problem is that have a full state of beliefs in mind, which they think are consistent with biblical teachings, and they are neither open to being proven wrong nor learning new insights. The bottom line is among both clergy and laity. Revelation 22:14 14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. Acts 5:32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey Him.” 3

21 Steps to Salvation Calvinism vs Arminianism bottom of page click on God cannot stand the prayers of anyone who disobeys his Law. Proverbs 28:9 In Isaiah 66:15-17, we see that in the context of the Lord’s return, when He returns, He is clearly upset that people are eating pork. If He cares then, why would we assume that He does not care now? 1. Hear the True Gospel The first step of the build is listening to the unfiltered, original message of God. “From that time Yeshua began to preach and to say, ‘Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.’” — Matthew 4:17 “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” — John 8:32 What this means: You cannot build a straight wall if you are reading a warped blueprint. Hearing the true Gospel means listening to the actual Word of God—not human traditions, clever shortcuts, or watered-down messages that just make people feel good in the pew. It is the moment you hear the real standard for the very first time. 2. Believe the True Gospel True belief is not just agreeing with facts; it is placing your absolute confidence and weight on the message. “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” — Hebrews 11:6 What this means: Believing means you look at the plumb line and say, "That string is perfectly straight, and I trust it completely." It is an inner conviction that drives you to action. If you don't truly believe the blueprint is accurate, you will never bother to change how you are laying your bricks. 3. Repent of Past Sins Repentance is a deliberate, U-turn in direction. It means stopping your lawlessness and turning back toward the Law of God. “I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” — Luke 13:3 What this means: Since 1 John 3:4 tells us that sin is breaking God's law, your old wall was naturally leaning and crooked. Repentance is the moment you drop your tools, admit your wall is out of line, and make a firm decision to tear down the old, lawless way of living so you can rebuild it straight. 4. Confess Faith in Yeshua Messiah Confession is the public declaration of who is in charge of your building site. “For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” — Romans 10:10 What this means: Confession is nailing your colors to the mast. It means standing up and declaring out loud to the world, to the adversary, and to the assembly: "Yeshua is my Master, and I am building my life on His foundation from this day forward." 5. Be Baptized Baptism is the physical and spiritual washing away of the rubble from your old life. “Then Peter said to them, ‘Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Yeshua Messiah for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’” — Acts 2:38 What this means: Going under the water is the formal burial of the old, crooked structure. You don't build a new house on top of old trash. You clear the lot. Baptism washes away the stain of past lawlessness so you can step out of the water onto a clean, solid foundation. 6. Be Faithful Unto Death Loyalty to the Creator must be absolute, even when the pressure of the world threatens to break you. “Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” — Revelation 2:10 What this means: This is the ultimate test of the structure. When the storms of persecution, sickness, or trials hit the wall, a true believer refuses to let a single brick slip. It means your loyalty to the Master Builder stays intact even if holding the line costs you your physical life. 7. Obey Him for Eternal Salvation The author of salvation specifically identifies who His work is for: those who follow His instructions. “And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him.” — Hebrews 5:9 What this means: The Master Builder only claims ownership of the walls that actually followed His blueprints. Faith that refuses to obey is an illusion. Salvation belongs to the people who don't just call Him "Lord," but who actually submit to His authority and do what He asks. 8. Live Exactly as Yeshua Did The Messiah's walk on this earth is the ultimate, flawless example for our daily lives. “He who says he abides in Him ought himself also to walk just as He walked.” — 1 John 2:6 What this means: Yeshua is the living plumb line. If you want to know how to treat people, how to handle temptation, or how to keep God's commands, you look at His life. If a custom or a lifestyle choice doesn't square up with how Yeshua walked, it does not belong in your wall. 9. Do What the Word Says, Don't Just Listen True faith is an active, hands-on construction project, not a spectator sport. “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” — James 1:22 What this means: Sitting in a pew and nodding along with a sermon doesn't build anything. If you know what the Bible says but don't practice it on Monday morning, you are fooling yourself. True faith requires you to pick up the trowel and actually lay the bricks according to the instructions. 10. Possess the Spirit of Christ True conversion requires the supernatural presence of the Holy Spirit living inside you. “Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.” — Romans 8:9 What this means: The Holy Spirit is the gravity that keeps the plumb line straight. Without the Spirit living inside your heart, you have no power to keep the wall in line, and you don't belong to the Owner of the house. You must have His seal on the inside. 11. Receive the Holy Spirit Through Obedience God places His Spirit inside those who have a heart bent toward submission. “And we are His witnesses of these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.” — Acts 5:32 What this means: God does not pour His Holy Spirit into a vessel that intends to stay rebellious and lawless. The Spirit is given as a helper to help you keep the Law. When you step out in willingness to obey, God anchors His supernatural strength deep inside your life. 12. Call on the Name of Yeshua Messiah Deliverance and strength come from actively crying out to the authority and identity of the Son. “For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’” — Romans 10:13 What this means: When the wall is leaning, when your own strength fails, or when the enemy attacks, you don't rely on yourself. You call on the name and the legal authority of Yeshua. It is an active cry for help to the only One who has the power to hold the structure together. 13. Keep the Commandments to Enter Into Life When asked directly how to inherit eternal life, the Messiah pointed straight back to God's boundaries. “Jesus said to him... ‘If you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.’” — Matthew 19:17 What this means: Commandments are not heavy burdens; they are the side-guards that keep the wall from warping. Since sin is breaking the law, keeping the commandments is how we show we love God and want our lives to stay completely square with His righteousness. 14. Trust the Son to Not Perish Escape from the penalty of lawlessness requires absolute reliance on the sacrifice of the Messiah. “That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.” — John 3:15,16 What this means: No matter how hard we try to build straight, our past sins would condemn us if not for Jesus. Trusting the Son means knowing that His blood covers our imperfections and saves our structure from facing the ultimate collapse of spiritual death. 15. Walk by Faith, Not by Sight The Christian walk requires trusting God’s structural blueprint even when circumstances look dark and confusing. “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” — 2 Corinthians 5:7 What this means: Sometimes the fog of life rolls in, and you can't see two feet in front of you. Walking by faith means you don't guess or look around at what everyone else is doing. You trust the plumb line in your hand because you know God's weight is true, even when your eyes can't see the top of the line. 16. Obey the Son to Avoid Angry Judgment Rejecting the instructions of the King leaves a person exposed to the holy consequences of rebellion. “He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.” — John 3:36 What this means: You cannot claim to believe in Jesus while actively refusing to listen to Him. Intentional disobedience is rebellion, and a wall built in open defiance of the Blueprints will eventually face inspection and be completely demolished under divine judgment 17. Be Born Again Salvation requires a radical, supernatural transformation from above—not just a superficial patch-job. “ Yeshua answered and said to him, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.’” — John 3:3 What this means: God doesn't just want to fix a few cracks in your old wall; He wants to give you a brand-new nature. Yeshua told Nicodemus that what is born of the flesh is flesh, and what is born of the Spirit is spirit, moving like the wind. If you claim you are already fully "born again" right now, why are you still trapped in a temporary body of flesh and blood instead of a glorified, immortal spirit body? Are you confusing the earnest promise of the Holy Spirit inside you today with the actual, physical rebirth that only happens at the resurrection of the dead? True rebirth replaces the temporary structure of flesh with an immortal house from heaven. 18. Produce Good Deeds So Faith Isn't Dead Active obedience and good fruit are the unmistakable evidence of a living faith. “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.” — James 2:17 What this means: Faith is invisible until it shows up in your actions. If someone claims to be a master builder but has never laid a single brick or done a single good deed, their claim is useless. True, saving faith will always show up clearly in the work you do for God's kingdom. 19. Worship God in Spirit and Truth True service to the Father requires complete honesty, removing the masks of religious pretense. “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” — John 4:24 "What this means: This means stop pretending to be a flawless saint in the church pew if you are falling apart on the inside. Worshiping in truth means standing perfectly vertical before God, baring your soul, and saying, "Lord, here is exactly where my wall is leaning." Furthermore, Acts 5:32 states that God gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey Him. This principle emphasizes that a willing, obedient heart is a key condition for receiving and experiencing the empowering presence of the Spirit. If you do not have the Spirit of Christ, you are none of His. Because 1 John 3:4 warns that "sin is the transgression of the law," walking in the Spirit is the only way to overcome the flesh and keep from breaking God's boundaries. 20. Endure Until the End Salvation is a marathon, not a sprint. The prize is given to those who finish the entire construction project. “But he who endures to the end shall be saved.” — Matthew 24:13 What this means: It’s not about how fast you start; it’s about whether your structure stands the test of time. True believers don't pack up their tools and walk away when the culture turns against them or when things get tough. They stay on the wall, checking the line, until the project is completely finished. 21. Be Grafted Into Israel Believers from the nations are joined directly into God’s original, enduring covenant family tree. “And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree...” — Romans 11:17 What this means: You are not a lone house sitting out on an island by yourself. By faith in the Messiah, God links your life directly into the great, historic fortress of His covenant people—Israel. You share in their root, their history, their promises, and their responsibilities to the King. 3 Commonly Misunderstood Bible Questions Answered For it is by grace [God’s remarkable compassion and favor drawing you to Christ] that you have been saved [actually delivered from judgment and given eternal life] through faith. Many are called but few are saved. Matthew 22:14 And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [not through your own effort], but it is the [undeserved, gracious] gift of God; God has pronounced that the penalty of sin is spiritual death and separation from God in a place of judgment called hell: “For the wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). Jesus clearly taught that sinners were condemned in sin and would perish and go to hell if they didn't believe in Him as their Savior (John 3:16-18). What are the 21 steps to salvation? 1 John 3:4 Whosoever committed sin transgression also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. Hear the True Gospel. (Matthew 4:17 John 8:32) Believe the True Gospel (Hebrews 11:6, John 20:31) Repent of past sins (Luke 13:3, Acts 17:30) Confess faith in Yeshua Messiah (Romans 10:10, Matthew 10:32) Be Baptized (Galatians 3:27, Mark 16:16, Acts 2:38) Be faithful unto death (Revelation 2:10) For all who obey him eternal salvation Hebrews 5:9 Whoever claims to live in him must live as Yeshua did.1 John 2:6 But don't just listen to God's word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. James 1:2 And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. Romans 8:1 We are witnesses of these things and so is the Holy Spirit, who is given by God to those who obey him.” Acts 5:32 “whoever calls on the name of the Yeshua Messiah shall be saved.Romans 10:13-15 For But if thou wouldest enter into life, keep the commandments. Matthew 19:16-26 That whosoever believe i n him should not perish, but have eternal life…John 3:15,16 For we live by faith, not by sight. (Hebrews 11:6) And without faith it is impossible to please God because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.2 Corinthians 5:7 And anyone who believes in God’s Son has eternal life. Anyone who doesn’ t obey the Son will never experience eternal life but remains under God’s angry judgment.” John 3: Yeshua Messiah replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again. ”John 3:3 So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds , it is dead and useless. James 2:17-23 You must worship God in TRUTH and SPIRIT John 4:24 You must endure until the end to be saved . Matthew 24:13 We must be grafted into Israel. Romans 11:11-31 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Yeshua Messiah so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Galatians 3:14 Explanation Obedience is a requirement for receiving the Holy Spirit, along with faith in Christ's sacrifice. Repentance, or turning away from sin and toward obedience, is also required. The Holy Spirit gives guidance and companionship, and enables people to obey, kill sin, and be sanctified. "Born of the Spirit" (regeneration) is a spiritual rebirth, a work of the Holy Spirit that gives us new life and makes us capable of understanding and responding to God. Without this spiritual birth, one cannot "see" or "enter" the Kingdom of God (heaven). 1. The Holy Spirit Indwells Believers as a Mark of Salvation :The Holy Spirit Indwells Believers as a Mark of Salvation: 2.The Holy Spirit is the Seal and Guarantee of Our Inheritance : Ephesians 1:13-14: "In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until we acquire possession of it, to the praise of his glory." 3. The Holy Spirit Regenerates and Gives New Life: 4. The Holy Spirit Sanctifies and Transforms Us: Chist redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: " Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree. " He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Yeshua Messiah so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. Galatians 3:14 The decrees of Yehovah are trustworthy , making wise the simple. The commandments of Yehovah are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of Yehovah are clear, giving insight into living. Reverence for Yehovah is pure , lasting forever. The laws of Yehovah are true ; each one is fair. They are more desirable than gold, even the finest gold. They are sweeter than honey, even honey dripping from the comb. They are a warning to your servant, a great reward for those who obey them. Psalm 19:7 The one who belongs listens and responds to Yehovah's words. If you don't listen and respond , it is because you don't belong to Yehovah." John 8:47 Some say that God's promises to those who obey him include: Being blessed Being saved Being watched over Being taken care of Being given what you ask for Being happy Living longer Lacking nothing good God's Law Reflects God's Character (Who He Is): The ultimate source of all truth is God Himself. He is perfectly holy, just, righteous, good, and loving. His law, therefore, is not arbitrary rules, but an expression of His very nature. It reveals what is inherently true, good, and right because it stems from the perfectly true, good, and righteous God. Psalm 119:142 says, "Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, And Your law is truth. " This verse directly links God's righteousness (His character) with His law being truth. The Law as Divine Instruction and Revelation: In the Old Testament, the Hebrew word "Torah" (often translated as "Law") literally means "instruction," "teaching," or "guidance." It's not just a list of prohibitions, but a comprehensive revelation of God's will and wisdom for how humanity should live and how they can have a relationship with Him. Since God is truth, His instructions are true. They accurately describe reality, the nature of good and evil, and the path to genuine life and flourishing. Psalm 19:7-9 beautifully describes the law: "The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." Notice the consistent emphasis on truth, purity, and righteousness. The Law Exposes Sin and Points to Reality: The law serves as a mirror, showing humanity its imperfection and sinfulness in contrast to God's perfect standard. In this sense, it is "true" because it accurately diagnoses the human condition. Romans 3:20 states, "for through the law comes knowledge of sin." The law truthfully reveals what is wrong, what deviates from God's intended design for creation and humanity. Jesus Christ Embodies and Fulfills the Law/Truth: Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). He is the ultimate revelation of God's truth. He also stated that He came not to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17). He perfectly lived out the Law and, through His sacrifice, perfectly satisfied its righteous demands on behalf of humanity. Therefore, the truth found in the Law ultimately points to and is embodied by Jesus Christ. The Law Guides Towards a True and Abundant Life: Living in accordance with God's law, empowered by the Holy Spirit, leads to a life that is truly abundant, meaningful, and aligned with God's design. This is not about earning salvation, but about living out the reality of being a new creation in Christ. The moral principles embedded in the law are timeless and beneficial for human flourishing, regardless of one's belief system. For example, honesty, faithfulness, and respect for life are universally recognized as good. In summary, when we say "the law is truth," we mean that God's law is a direct reflection of His unchanging, perfect, and truthful character. It is a divine revelation that accurately defines reality, distinguishes right from wrong, exposes sin, and ultimately points to Jesus Christ as the fulfillment of all truth and the source of true righteousness. It provides guidance for a life that is genuinely good and pleasing to God. Key Differences and Implications The Reformed (Calvinist) Order of Salvation The Armenian/Wesleyan Order of Salvation What is the Order of Salvation? The ordo salutis (Latin for "order of salvation") is a theological construct in Christian soteriology that describes the logical (not always strictly chronological) sequence of God's saving acts applied to the believer. It originates from Reformed theology but has been adapted across traditions, highlighting the interplay between divine sovereignty and human response Rooted in passages like Romans 8:29–30 (the "golden chain" of salvation), it underscores salvation as God's initiative from eternity to consummation. While all orthodox Christians affirm the core elements—such as Christ's atonement, faith, justification, and glorification—the order varies significantly between Reformed (Calvinist) and Arminian /Wesleyan views. Reformed theology prioritizes monergism (God's sole work), placing regeneration before faith, while Arminianism emphasizes synergism (cooperation via free will enabled by grace), placing faith before regeneration. The Reformed (Calvinist) Order of Salvation In this view, salvation begins with God's eternal decree and proceeds irresistibly, with human faith as a result of divine regeneration rather than its precondition. A typical sequence includes: Election/Predestination: God's sovereign choice of individuals before creation, based on His will alone (Ephesians 1:4–5). Calling: An outward gospel proclamation and inner, effectual call by the Spirit (Romans 8:30). Regeneration: The Holy Spirit imparts new spiritual life to the elect, enabling faith (Titus 3:5; Ezekiel 36:26). Conversion (Faith and Repentance): The regenerated sinner trusts Christ and turns from sin, as gifts from God (Ephesians 2:8–9). Justification: God declares the believer righteous, imputing Christ's merit (Romans 5:1). Adoption: Believers enter God's family as heirs (Galatians 4:4–7). Sanctification: Progressive growth in holiness, empowered by the Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Perseverance: God's preservation of the saints unto the end (Philippians 1:6). Glorification : Final perfection at Christ's return (Romans 8:30). This order emphasizes that no one can contribute to their salvation, avoiding any implication of merit. The Arminian/Wesleyan Order of Salvation Arminians stress prevenient (preceding) grace that restores free will to all sinners, making faith the condition for receiving salvation's benefits. Regeneration follows faith, and perseverance is conditional on continued belief. Roger Olson's classical Arminian sequence is: Electing Grace in Christ: God's election of all who will believe (foreseen faith). Atonement: Christ's universal provision for sinners. Prevenient Grace: God's enabling grace through the gospel, convicting and illuminating (Titus 2:11). Conversion (Repentance and Faith): The sinner's free response to believe and repent. Regeneration, Justification, Adoption , Union with Christ, Indwelling Spirit: Initial saving acts upon faith (John 3:3–5; Romans 5:1). Sanctification: Progressive (and potentially entire) holiness. Glorification: For those who persevere through faith. A broader Arminian outline includes universal/resistible calling before faith, with sanctification open to full freedom from sin's power in Wesleyan thought. Key Differences and Implications Faith vs. Regeneration: Reformed: Regeneration causes faith (monergistic). Arminian: Faith precedes and conditions regeneration (synergistic). Election: Reformed: Unconditional (individual selection). Arminian: Conditional (based on foreseen faith or corporate election in Christ). Calling and Perseverance: Reformed: Irresistible and guaranteed. Arminian: Resistible and dependent on human cooperation. Practical Ramifications: Reformed views foster assurance in God's sovereignty; Arminian emphasizes responsibility and warning against apostasy (Hebrews 6:4–6). These frameworks unite in affirming salvation by grace through Christ alone, differing mainly in emphasis to guard biblical truths like sovereignty (Reformed) and love for all (Arminian). For deeper reading, explore primary sources like the Westminster Confession (Reformed) or Arminius's writings.

God’s Promises to Those Who Keep His Commands God will reveal Himself to us. “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him” (John 14:21 ). God will dwell with us. “If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him” (John 14:23 ). We will abide in God’s love and our joy will be full. “If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love. These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full” (John 15:10–11 ). We will know that we know and love God. “And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. . . . Whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him” (I John 2:3 , 5 ). “If ye love me, keep my commandments ” (John 14:15 ). We will show love to God’s children. “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments” (I John 5:2 ). We will be friends of Christ. “Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you” (John 15:14 ). Our prayers will be answered. “And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight” (I John 3:22 ). We will be disciples. “A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
