Peace, light, delight and favors to you all, in the Name of YAOHÚSHUA - the true Messiah! We praise, glorify and thank YÁOHU UL, our Eternal Creator, for giving you the opportunity and desire to know Him and His Glorious Message through the original and true Messiah YAOHÚSHUA. Glory, praises, thanksgiving and adoration do we give to YÁOHU UL, in the Name of YAOHÚSHUA the Messiah and we believe that the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Sanctified Spirit of YÁOHU Ulhím) is the All-Knowing Eternal One Who always leads you into all truth, by the mercy, love and favors of YÁOHU UL, our true Eternal Creator.
'Even that query wouldn't have come up except for some so-called Yaohúshuahím (believers) there - false ones, really - who came to spy on us and observe what freedom we have in hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA, as to whether we obeyed the YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) laws or not. They tried to get us all tied up in their rules, like slaves in chains. But we did not give in for a single moment, for we did not want to confuse you into thinking that salvation can be earned by being circumcised and by obeying YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) laws.' - Galatians 2:4-5, Holy Scriptures. 'But what if we trust Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA to save us and then find out that we are wrong, and that we cannot be saved without being circumcised and obeying all the other YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) laws? Wouldn't we have to say that faith in YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY had ruined us? YÁOHU UL forbid that anyone dare to think such a way about our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA! Rather, we are sinners if we begin rebuilding the old system I have been dismantling, of trying to be saved by observing YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) laws, for it was through reading the Scriptures that I came to realize that I could never find YÁOHU UL's favor by trying hard - and failing - to obey the laws. I came to realize that acceptance with YÁOHU UL comes solely by believing in YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. I have been impaled with YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY: and I myself no longer live, but YAOHÚSHUA lives in me. And the real life I now have within this body is a result of my relying upon the Son of YÁOHU UL, Who loved me and gave Himself for me. I am not one of those who treat the death of Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA as meaningless. For if we could be saved by keeping YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) laws, then there was no need for Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA to die.' - Galatians 2:17-21, Holy Scriptures 'Yes, and those who depend on the YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) laws to save them are under YÁOHU UL's curse, for the Scriptures point out very clearly, 'Cursed is everyone who at any time breaks a single one of these laws that are written in YÁOHU UL's Books of the Law.' Consequently, it is clear that no one can ever win YÁOHU UL's favor by trying to keep the religious rituals, because YÁOHU UL has declared that the only way we can be right in His sight is by faith. As the prophet Habkóak (Habakkuk) says it, 'The man who finds life will find it through depending upon YÁOHU UL.' How different from this way of faith is the way of law which stipulates that a man is saved by obeying every law of YÁOHU UL, without one slip. But YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY has bought us out from under the doom of that system by taking the curse for our wrongdoing upon Himself. For it is inscribed in the Scriptures - 'Anyone who is hanged on a tree is cursed' as Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA was hung upon a wooden stake.' - Galatians 3:10-13, Holy Scriptures 'So Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA has made us free! Now make sure that you remain free and don't get all tied up again in the chains of slavery to YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) laws and ceremonies. Hearken to me carefully, for this is serious: if you are counting upon circumcision and keeping the YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) laws to make you right with YÁOHU UL, then Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA cannot save you! I'll say it again. Anyone trying to find favor with YÁOHU UL by being circumcised must always obey every other YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) law or perish. YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY is useless to you if you are counting on clearing your debt to YÁOHU UL by keeping those laws; you are lost from YÁOHU UL's grace (undeserved FAVOR)! But we, by the help of the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Sanctified Spirit) are depending on the death of YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY to clear away our sins and make us right with YÁOHU UL. And we to whom hol-MEHUSHKHÁY has given eternal life don't need to worry about whether we have been circumcised or not, or whether we are obeying the YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) ceremonies or not; for all we need is faith working itself through love!' - Galatians 5:1-6, Holy Scriptures 'When you are guided by the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' (Sanctified Spirit) you need no longer force yourself to obey YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) laws.' - Galatians 5:18 'For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just a single point is guilty of breaking ALL of it.' - YÁOHU-caf (James) 2:10, New Covenant, Holy Scriptures. Again, 'whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just a single point is guilty of breaking ALL of it!' - YÁOHU-caf (James) 2:10, Holy Scriptures. So how can anyone be saved by means of obeying the Mosaic laws? One must never commit a single sin from birth till death in order to be saved under that legalistic system which has long been discarded. Salvation is a FREE GIFT of YÁOHU UL, because He is full of favors, which means, He grants undeserved mercies to mankind. It isn't free when it is earned, but it is free! Salvation is the free gift of YÁOHU UL to the guilty, and not the reward to the self-righteous! At the Mount of Transfiguration, Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA was seen with Mehushúa - Moses (who represented the Law) and Uli-YÁOHU (Elijah) - who represented the prophets and the writings in the Tanakh or the Hebrew Scriptures. And what did YÁOHU UL declare from heaven? 'This is My beloved Son, obey Him!' So in cases of doubts in your mind as to whom to obey, whether Mehushúa and the Law, or any among the prophets of old, YÁOHU UL, the Most High in heaven, tells you: 'This is My beloved Son, obey Him!' This surely clears the matter once and for all. Obey Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY! YÁOHU UL, through the mouth of the prophet Yarmi-YÁOHU (Jeremiah) declared: 'The day will come when I will make a New Covenant with the people of Yaoshorúl (Israel) and YAOHÚ-dah (Judah). It won't be like the one I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt - a Covenant they broke, even though I was a Husband to them. But this is the New Covenant I will make with them: I will inscribe My laws upon their hearts, so they shall want to honor Me, then they shall truly be My people, and I will be their YÁOHU UL. At that time it will no longer be necessary to admonish one another to know YÁOHU UL. For everyone, both great and small, shall really know Me then, and I will forgive and forget their sins!'
- Yarmi-YÁOHU (Jeremiah) 31:31-34 Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA declared: 'Your souls are not harmed by what you eat, but by what you think and say!' - Mark 7:14-23, Holy Scriptures 'One day in Yaffó (Joppa), while I was praying, I saw a vision - a huge sheet, let down by its four corners from the sky. Inside the sheet were all sorts of animals, reptiles and birds (which we are not legally allowed to eat). Then I heard a voice say, 'Kill and eat whatever you wish.' 'Never!' I replied. 'For I have never eaten anything which is not kosher!' 'But the voice came again, 'Don't say it isn't right when YÁOHU UL declares it is!' This happened three times before the sheet with all it contained disappeared into heaven!'' - Acts 11:4-10, Holy Scriptures 'For I am not ashamed of this Glorious Message about hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA because it is YÁOHU UL's powerful method of bringing all who believe it to heaven. This message was proclaimed first to the YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) people alone, but now everyone is invited to come to YÁOHU UL through Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, the only Way. This Glorious Message lets you know that YÁOHU UL Himself makes us ready for heaven - makes us upright in His sight - when we put our faith and trust fully in hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA to save us. This is carried out from beginning to end by faith alone. As the Scriptures declare it, 'The man who finds life will find it by depending fully upon YÁOHU UL.' But YÁOHU UL shows His anger from heaven against all sinful, wicked persons who push away the truth from them. For the truth about YÁOHU UL is inbornly known to them, because YÁOHU UL has put this knowledge in their hearts. Since earliest times people have seen the earth and sky and all that YÁOHU UL made, and have known of His being alive and great eternal power. So they will have no excuse when they come before YÁOHU UL at Judgment Day. Yes, they knew about Him all right, but they wouldn't admit it or worship Him or even thank Him for all His daily care and provisions. And after awhile, they began to think up silly ideas of what YÁOHU UL was like and what He wanted them to do. The result was that their foolish minds became dark and confused. Claiming themselves to be wise without YÁOHU UL, they become utterly stupid. And then, in place of worshiping the great Eternal YÁOHU UL, they took wood and 'éban' (s-one) and made idols for themselves, carving them to look like mere birds and animals and snakes and ordinary humans! So YÁOHU UL let them go ahead into every sort of sexual sin, and do whatever they wanted to - yes, vile and wicked activities with each other's bodies. In place of believing what they knew was the truth about YÁOHU UL, they purposely preferred to believe lies. So they prayed to those which YÁOHU UL made, but wouldn't obey the magnificent YÁOHU UL Who created everything. They worshipped the creatures in place of the Creator! This is the reason why YÁOHU UL let go of them and let them do all kinds of wickedness, so even their women turned against YÁOHU UL's natural plan for them and indulged in sexual sins with each other. And the men, in place of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other, men doing shameful things with other men, and as a result, getting punished within their own bodies with the penalty they so rightfully deserved. So it was that when they gave YÁOHU UL up, and would not even acknowledge Him, YÁOHU UL gave them up to doing everything their crooked minds could think of. Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness and sin, of greed and hate, envy, murder, fighting, lying, bitterness and gossip. They became backbiters, haters of YÁOHU UL, insolent, stubborn, proud braggarts, always devising new ways of committing sin and continually being disobedient to their parents. They tried their best not to comprehend, broke their vows and promises, and were heartless - without pity. They were fully aware of YÁOHU UL's death penalty for these crimes, yet they went right on ahead and did them anyway, and encouraged others to do them, too. 'Well,' you may say, 'what terrible people you have been talking about!' But wait a minute! You are just as bad. When you conclude that they are wicked and should be punished, you are talking about yourselves, for you do these very same wicked activities. And we know that YÁOHU UL, in His justice, will punish anyone who does such wicked activities as these. Do you think that YÁOHU UL will judge and condemn others for doing them and overlook you when you do them, too? Don't you realize how patient He is being with you? Or don't you care? Can't you see that He has been waiting all this time without punishing you as you deserve, in order to give you time to turn from your sin? His kindness is meant to lead you to repentance. But no, you won't hearken; and so you are heaping up terrible punishment for yourselves because of your stubbornness in refusing to turn from your sins. For there is going to come a day of anger and wrath when YÁOHU UL will be the just Judge of all the world. He will give each one whatever his deeds deserve. He will grant Eternal Life to those who patiently do the will of YÁOHU UL, seeking for the unseen glory and honor and eternal life that He offers. But He also will terribly punish those who fight against the truth of YÁOHU UL and walk in evil ways - YÁOHU UL's anger will be poured out upon them. There will be sorrow and suffering for the YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) people and the Gentiles alike who keep on committing sins. But there will be glory and honor and peace from YÁOHU UL for all who obey Him, whether they are YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) or not. For YÁOHU UL is just, fair to everyone. YÁOHU UL will punish sin wherever it is found. He will punish the pagans when they sin, even though they never had YÁOHU UL's inscribed laws, for down in their hearts they know right from wrong. YÁOHU UL's laws are inscribed within them; their own conscience accuses them, or sometimes excuses them. And YÁOHU UL will punish the YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) people for committing sins because they have His inscribed laws but they don't obey them. They know what is right but don't do it. After all, salvation is not given to those who know what to do, unless they do it! The day will surely come when, at YÁOHU UL's command, Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY will judge the secret lives of everyone, their inmost thoughts and motives; this is all part of YÁOHU UL's grand plan which I proclaim. You YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) people think all is well between yourselves and YÁOHU UL because He gave His laws to you; you brag that you are His special friends. Yes, you know what He wants; you know right from wrong and you favor the right because you have been taught His laws from earliest youth. You are very sure of the way to YÁOHU UL that you could point it out to a blind man. You think of yourselves as beacon lights in the midst of darkness, directing people who are lost to YÁOHU UL. You think that you can guide the innocent and teach even children the affairs of YÁOHU UL, for you really know His laws, which are full of all knowledge and truth. Yes, you teach others - then why don't you teach yourselves also? You tell others not to steal - do you steal? You claim it is wrong to commit adultery - do you do it? You exclaim, 'Don't pray to idols!' and then make money your idol in its place! You are so proud of knowing YÁOHU UL's laws, but you dishonor Him by breaking them. No wonder the Tanakh says that the world speaks evil of YÁOHU UL because of you. Being a YAOHÚ-di (Jewish) is worth something if you obey YÁOHU UL's laws; but if you don't, then you are no better off than the pagans. And if the pagans obey YÁOHU UL's laws, won't YÁOHU UL give them all the rights and honors He planned to give the YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) people? In fact, those pagans will be much better off than you YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) people who know so much about YÁOHU UL and have His promises but don't obey His laws. For you are not a real YAOHÚ-di (Jewish) just because you were born of YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) parents or because you have gone through the YAOHÚ-di (Jewish) initiation ceremony of circumcision. No, a real YAOHÚ-di (Jewish) person is any individual whose heart is right with YÁOHU UL! For YÁOHU UL is not looking for those who cut their bodies in actual body circumcision, but he is looking for those with changed hearts and minds. Whoever has that kind of change in his life will get his praise from YÁOHU UL, even if not from you. Then what's the use of being a YAOHÚ-di (Jewish)? Are there any special benefits for them from YÁOHU UL? Is there any value in the YAOHÚ-di (Jewish) circumcision ceremony? Yes, being YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) has many advantages. First of all, YÁOHU UL trusted them with His laws so they could know and do His will. True, some of them were unfaithful, but just because they broke their promises to YÁOHU UL does not mean that YÁOHU UL also will break His promises. Absolutely not! Though everyone else in the world is a liar, YÁOHU UL is not! Do you remember what the book of Tehillím (Psalms) says about this? That YÁOHU UL's words will always prove true and right, no matter who objects to them. 'But,' some may say, 'our breaking faith with YÁOHU UL is fine, our sins serve a beneficial purpose, for people will notice how kind YÁOHU UL is when they see how bad we are. Is it fair, then, for Him to punish us when our sins are helping Him?' (That is the way some people talk.) YÁOHU UL forbid! Then what kind of YÁOHU UL would He be, to overlook sin? How could He ever condemn anyone? For He could not judge and condemn me as a sinner if my dishonesty brought Him glory by enhancing His honesty, which is in contrast to my lies. If you follow through with that idea you come to this: the worse we are, the better YÁOHU UL likes it! But the damnation of those who say such matters is just. Yet some claim that this is what I proclaim. Well, then, are we YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) people better than others? No, not at all, for we have already shown that all people alike are sinners, whether YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) or Gentiles. As the Scriptures declare:
So the judgment of YÁOHU UL speaks to those under the law; not one of them has any excuse; in fact, all the world remains hushed, guilty before the All-Powerful YÁOHU UL. Now do you see it? No one can ever be made right in YÁOHU UL's sight by doing what the law commands. For the more we know of YÁOHU UL's laws, the clearer it becomes that we are not obeying them; His laws serve only to make us see that we are sinners. But now YÁOHU UL has shown us a different way to heaven - NOT by being upright enough and trying to keep His laws, but by a new and living way (though not really new, really, for the Scriptures told about it long ago). Now YÁOHU UL says He will accept and acquit us - declare us 'not guilty' - if we trust Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY to take away our sins. And we all can be saved in this same way, by coming to hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA, no matter who we are or what we have been like before. Yes, all have sinned; all fall short of YÁOHU UL's glorious ideal; yet now YÁOHU UL declares us 'not guilty' of offending Him if we trust YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, Who, in His kindness, FREELY takes away our sins! For YÁOHU UL sent YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY to bear and suffer the punishment for our sins and to end all of YÁOHU UL's anger against us. He used the 'DAM' (blood) of ha-MEHUSHKHÁY and our faith as the means of saving us from His wrath. In this way, He was being entirely just, even though He did not punish those who sinned in former times. For He was looking forward to the time when hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA would come and take away those sins. And now in these days also, He can receive sinners in this same way, because YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY took away their sins. But isn't this unfair for YÁOHU UL to let criminals go free, and declare that they are innocent? No, for He reckons it on the basis of their trust upon Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA Who took away their sins. Then what can we boast about doing, to earn our salvation? Nothing at all! Why? Because our acquittal is not based upon our upright deeds; it is based upon what hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA has carried out and our faith in Him. So it is that we are saved by faith in hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA and not by the upright deeds we do. And does YÁOHU UL save only the YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) people in this way? No, the Gentiles, too, may come to Him in this same manner! YÁOHU UL treats us all the same; all, whether YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) or Gentiles, are acquitted if they have faith. Well then, if we are saved by faith, does this mean that we no longer need to obey YÁOHU UL's laws? Just the opposite! In fact, only when we trust YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY can we truly obey Him. Abruhám was, humanly speaking, the founder of our YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) nation. What were his experiences about this matter of being saved by faith? Was it because of his upright deeds that YÁOHU UL accepted him? If so, he would have something to boast about. But from YÁOHU UL's point of view, Abruhám had no basis at all for pride. For the Scriptures tell us Abruhám believed YÁOHU UL, and that is why YÁOHU UL canceled his sins and declared him 'not guilty' - not punishable. But didn't he earn his rights to heaven by all the upright deeds he performed? No, for being saved is a GIFT; if a person could earn it by being upright enough, then it wouldn't be FREE - but it is! It is given to those who do NOT work for it. For YÁOHU UL declares sinners to be upright in His sight if they have faith in YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY to save them from YÁOHU UL's wrath. King Dáoud (David) spoke of this, describing the happiness of an undeserving sinner who is declared 'not guilty' (not punishable) by YÁOHU UL. 'Blessed, to be envied,' he said, 'are those whose sins are forgiven and put out of sight. Yes, what delight there is for anyone whose sins are no longer counted against him by YÁOHU UL.' Now then, the query: Is this benefit given only to those who have faith in hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA and also keep the YAOHÚ-dim laws, or is the favor also given to those who do NOT keep the YAOHÚ-dim rules, but only trust upon hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA? Well, what about Abruhám? We say that he received these favors through his faith. Was it by faith alone? Or because he also kept the YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) rules? For the answer to that query, answer this one: When did YÁOHU UL give this favor to Abruhám? It was BEFORE HE BECAME a YAOHÚ-di (Jewish)! Even before he went through the YAOHÚ-di (Jewish) initiation ceremony of circumcision. It wasn't until later on, AFTER YÁOHU UL had promised to favor him because of his faith, that he was circumcised. The circumcision ceremony was a sign that Abruhám already had faith and that YÁOHU UL had already accepted him and declared him just, upright in His sight - before the ceremony took place. So Abruhám is the spiritual father of those who believe and are saved without obeying YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) laws. We now see that those who do not keep these rules are justified (declared innocent) by YÁOHU UL through faith. And Abruhám is also the spiritual father of those YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) people who have been circumcised. They can see from his example that it is not this ceremony that saves them, for Abruhám found favor with YÁOHU UL by faith alone, BEFORE HE WAS CIRCUMCISED! It is clear, then, that YÁOHU UL's promise to give the whole earth to Abruhám, and his offsprings was not because Abruhám obeyed YÁOHU UL's laws but because he relied upon YÁOHU UL to keep His promise. So if you insist to claim that YÁOHU UL's favors go to those who are 'upright enough,' then you are saying that YÁOHU UL's promises to those who have faith are meaningless, and faith is foolish. But the fact of the matter is this: when we try to gain YÁOHU UL's favor and salvation by keeping His laws, we always end up under His anger, for we always fail to keep them. The only way we can keep from breaking laws is not to have any to break in the first place! So YÁOHU UL's favors are given to us by faith, as FREE GIFTS; we are sure to get them whether or not we follow YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) customs, if we have faith like Abruhám's, for Abruhám is the father of us all when it comes to these matters of faith. That is what the Scriptures mean when they say that YÁOHU UL made Abruhám the father of many nations. YÁOHU UL will accept all people in every nation who trust YÁOHU UL as Abruhám did. And this promise is from YÁOHU UL Himself, Who makes the dead live again and speaks of future events with as much assurance as though they were already past. So, when YÁOHU UL told Abruhám that He would give him a son who would have many offsprings and become a great nation, Abruhám believed YÁOHU UL even though such a promise just couldn't come to pass! And because his faith was firm, he didn't worry about the fact that he was too old to be a father, at the age of one hundred, and that Sarah his wife, at ninety, was also much too old to bear a child. But Abruhám never doubted. He believed YÁOHU UL, for his faith and trust grew ever firmer, and he praised YÁOHU UL for this favor even before it happened. He was completely sure that YÁOHU UL was well able to do anything He promised. And because of Abruhám's faith, YÁOHU UL forgave his sins and declared him 'not punishable.' Now this amazing declaration - that he was accepted and approved through his faith - wasn't just for Abruhám's benefit. It was for us too, assuring us that YÁOHU UL will accept us in the same way he accepted Abruhám - when we believe the promises of YÁOHU UL Who brought back our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY from the dead. He died for our sins and rose again to make us right with YÁOHU UL, filling us with YÁOHU UL's uprightness. So now, since we have been made right in YÁOHU UL's sight by faith in His promises, we can have real peace with Him because of what Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY has carried out for us. For because of our faith, He has brought us into this place of highest privilege where we now are, and we confidently and happily look forward to actually becoming all that YÁOHU UL has had in mind for us to be. We can exult too, when we run into problems and trials because we know that they are beneficial for us - they help us learn to be patient. And patience develops firmness of character in us and helps us to trust YÁOHU UL more each time we use it, up to the point where our hope and faith become finally firm and enduring. Then, when that happens, we are able to hold our heads high no matter what happens and know that all is well, for we know how dearly YÁOHU UL loves us, and we feel His warm love everywhere within us because YÁOHU UL has given us the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' to fill our hearts with His love. When we were utterly helpless with no way of escape, hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA came at just the right time and died for us sinners who had no use for him. Even if we were upright, we really wouldn't expect anyone to die for us, though, of course, that might be barely possible. But YÁOHU UL showed His great love for us by giving up hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA to die for us while were still sinners. And since by His 'DAM' (blood) He did all this for us as sinners, how much more will He do for us now that He has declared us not guilty? Now He will surely save us from all of YÁOHU UL's wrath to come! And since, when we were His enemies, we were brought back to YÁOHU UL by the death of His Son, what favors He must have for us now that we are His friends, and He is living within us! Now we are glad in our amazing new relationship with YÁOHU UL - all because of what our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY has carried out in dying for our sins - making us friends of YÁOHU UL. When Adam sinned, sin entered the entire human race. His sin spread death throughout all the world, so everything began to grow old and die, for all sinned. We know that it was Adam's sin that caused this because although, of course, people were committing sins from the time of Adam until Mehushúa (Moses), YÁOHU UL did not in those days judge them guilty of death for breaking His laws - because He had not yet given His laws to them, nor told them what He wanted them to do. So when their bodies died, it was not for their own sins since they themselves had never disobeyed YÁOHU UL's special law against the eating of the forbidden fruit, as Adam had. What a contrast between Adam and hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA Who was yet to come! And what a difference between man's sin and YÁOHU UL's forgiveness. For this one man, Adam, brought death to many through his sin. But this one Man, YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY, brought forgiveness to many through YÁOHU UL's mercy. Adam's one sin brought the penalty of death to many, while hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA freely takes away many sins and gives glorious life in its place. The sins of this one man, Adam, caused death to be king over all, but all who will take YÁOHU UL's gift of forgiveness and acquittal are kings of life because of this one Man, YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. Yes, Adam's sin brought punishment to all, but the uprightness of YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY makes people right with YÁOHU UL, so they can live. Adam caused many to become sinners because he disobeyed YÁOHU UL, and hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA caused many to be made acceptable to YÁOHU UL because He obeyed. The Ten Commandments were given so all could see the degree of their failure to obey YÁOHU UL's laws. But the more we see our sinfulness, the more we see YÁOHU UL's abounding favor in forgiving us. Before, sin ruled over all men and brought them to death, but now YÁOHU UL's kindness rules in its place, giving us a right relationship with YÁOHU UL and gives life eternal through our Molkhiúl YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY. Oh, Yaoshorúl (Israel), My people! Oh, my YAOHÚ-dim (Jewish) brethren! How I long for you to come to hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA. My heart is heavy within me and I grieve bitterly day and night because of you. Hol-MEHUSHKHÁY YAOHÚSHUA knows and the 'RÚKHA hol-HODSHÚA' knows that it is no mere pretense when I say that I would be willing to be forever damned if that would save you. YÁOHU UL has given you so much, but still you will not hearken to Him. He took you as His own special, select people and led you along with a bright cloud of glory and told you how very much He wanted to bestow favors upon you. He gave you His rules for daily life so you would know what He wanted you to do. He let you worship Him, and gave you amazing promises. Great men of YÁOHU UL were your forefathers, and YAOHÚSHUA hol-MEHUSHKHÁY Himself was One of you, a YAOHÚ-di (Jewish) insofar as His human nature is concerned, He Who now rules over everything. Praise YÁOHU UL forever!
