Just as we, Jew and non-Jew, together make “one new man” so does the Old Covenant and the New together make one Word, Yahshua (Jesus) Himself, the Living Word (Ephesians 2:14-16, John 1:1).
“Take care, brethren, there not be in any one of you an evil, unbelieving heart that falls away from the living God. But encourage one another day after day … so that none of you will be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.”
Satan is out to destroy us when we open the door to sin. We must keep our eyes fixed on Yahshua (Jesus), the safeguard against the deadly serpent bites, against the sinful nature, and the consequence of sin, which is death.
“The Spirit of Yahshua (Jesus) and the bride [those who are working out their salvation to be ready for the Bridegroom] say ‘Come.’ … And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost”
“Whoever keeps His word, in him the love of Yahveh has truly been perfected. By this we know that we are in Him: the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked” (1 John 2:5-6).
Do You love Him with a pure love that causes you to want to leave everything behind to do His bidding, to seek and to save the lost, to feed His sheep, and to glorify Him in word and deed, according to His uncompromised truth?
Yahshua (Jesus), You are truth, You are Spirit, and You are life. You are the Word and You will sanctify us. Yahveh, cleanse our hands even now. Let them be holy hands that are lifted high and surrendered to You, the King of kings.
You are at a crossroad beloved; are you craving what your flesh wants; foolishly ignoring the blood of the Lamb and His mighty outstretched arm that can deliver you from eternal death and the love of the things of this world?
Blessed is the person who acknowledges that “the flesh is as nothing” to Yahveh (the LORD) (John 6:63). All we are to boast in is that we know, love, and understand Him; anything short of this is pure hypocrisy.
Yahshua (Jesus) says, “If you love Me, obey Me. ”Obey Him; is it such a hard concept? What could be so difficult? our God and Savior says “My grace is sufficient to cause My people to fulfill all righteousness.”
The time of ignorance is over when you know the truth, but there are plenty of times we do what is wrong and we justify it. Self-justification is like Satan from the Garden of Eden, repeating, “Did Yahveh really say that?”
The whole issue is the glory of Yahveh and His purpose for His people to be brought out and established in faith and obedience to His Commandments. The purpose of our salvation is to bring Him glory, that is our responsibility.
There is no room for error in righteousness; however, there is mercy through the blood of Yahshua (Jesus) to cover the sins of those who humbly repent. Our loving Heavenly Father does not keep a record of our confessed sins.
“The world is passing away and also it’s lusts; but the one who does the will of (YAHveh) God lives forever.” As we diligently “work out our salvation, we must continually strive to stay on “the narrow path” that leads to eternal life.
The Almighty has set before us a choice, a free-will choice, and you have to choose. Heaven and earth are witnesses. They are going to be watching you to see what you are going to choose daily, hourly, and moment by moment.
It is not too late to turn back, but we have to return to Him with all of our hearts. “Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of Yahveh” (Acts 3:19).
The faith that pleases Yahshua (Jesus) is the faith that will cause us to overcome whatever must be endured personally. We must master our flesh because sin will crouch, like a demon from hell, at the doors of our lives.
Yahveh is a jealous God; we are not share the affection that is due to Him with anyone or anything else. It is all for Him. “He will strongly support those whose hearts are completely His …” (2 Chronicles 16:9).
Our Savior proclaimed, “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.” “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” “For whoever does the will of God, he is My brother and sister and mother.”
Dissipation is the frivolous, preoccupation with things that have no value, other than Satan’s value, to get you out of Yahveh’s perfect will and protection. Be on your guard against that dissipating spirit, it seeks to harm all.
