The following Word from God was given to us after much seeking to understand the ‘ ROOTS ‘ of our faith.

Please note that we “recognize ” Jesus, but since we have learned  His name given Him in the original language , which is correctly Yahuw ( also spelled Yahu) our ‘Yahushua’ ( savior) we no longer  call Him by a transliterated name and have given Him honor by being part of those in the earth today who are the trailblazers of the restoration of the name of the Father and the  Son, the Saviour of the world. We call the Father also by His name which is not ‘Lord’ – that is a title. His name being rendered YHWH as revealed to Moses , is in actual fact a beautiful name and correctly reads “Yahuah” or also spelled “Yahuwah”. Most Bibles ( right in the front of the Bible) will have the explanation of the reason why the name of  the Creator of the heaven and the earth, our heavenly Father,  is omitted , and in the place of His name, the word “Lord ” has been substituted  to replace his real and actual name) Do look in the front of your Bible and you will see the admittance of this fact and the ‘justification’ thereof.)  When we refer to The Lord, we often will call Him  (“The Lord,)Yahuwah. Praise the name of  Yahuwah!”

The name of The Son ( Yahuw) fits perfectly into the name of the Father ( Yahuwah) See our website for the videos for more information.

By FAITH confession is made unto salvation. One cannot have the ‘name’ without faith. We got saved by the name of Jesus by faith, because of the POWER of the SPIRIT .  But what we have learned since , is that now that His Light has brought forth the the original true Name, now that the language has been restored, we are to throw off the traditions of our fathers and follow only the Truth. The disciples did not call Him Jesus, as they did not speak English as English did not exist at that time. Our spirits have soared to have learned His name in the original language, but we are very emphatic, that it is BY FAITH  and not only by “the original letters” that we are saved. We at AmaniYah only wish to share with you the joy of the discovery of His original Name so as to bring Him joy , honor and respect for His truth in revealing this to us, so we can know ALL truth and WALK in it.

The Old Testament has always been translated from Hebrew.  But the New Testament had to ‘rely’ on Greek, as no original Hebrew language documentation/ scrolls were available anymore. But God is faithful to His Word  and the prayers of those who asked Him for the original language scriptures for the NT to be found and  in 2002 all the scrolls ( except Revelations) were discovered  and in 2009 a new translation of the New Testament has been published , translating the original language the scriptures were written in, into English and the Books from Matthew ( MatithYAHUW)  through Revelations  have been restored after these scrolls were discovered . The translation is called “The Word of YAH –  The Kings Covenant” and we encourage you to read the ‘renewed covenant’ (New Testament) translated from original Paleo Hebrew into English ,alongside your NIV, King James, NASB for a depth of fullness that will delight your heart.

Now before we go to the word teaching that the Father gave us on this subject, we want to make it clear to you that until this time we did not whatsoever understand  this concept ( “spiritual Israel” ) taught in the Word. The concept of  “the gentiles being a wild olive branch being grafted into the cultivated olive tree”  as written in Romans 11: 11-24 . As far as I have always believed, we are  now ‘set free from the law’ ; It is a new ‘dispensation’ and never really sought to understand Romans 11 in fulness. Then the Father brought overwhelming truth to us and prompted us to seek Him for revelation of this. To say, that the full revelation of this to a former “Dutch reformed Christian ” such as myself , was a bit unsettling, is to put it lightly.  It is not a concept that I grew up with or even understood, even in more mature years of my faith. Our understanding has been expanded greatly by His Word teaching to us and we would like to share it with you. We also continued , and gave scriptural validation to this teaching from the Father underneath this Word.

In conclusion here, we want you to keep the following in mind as you start to read this word : That ALL and we repeat, ALL who are born again by faith in Christ, ARE part of  ‘spiritual Israel ‘ NOT meaning physical Israel, and are forever included in everything that pertains to the truth of eternal life. We will now continue to explain to you exactly ‘what this means’ and exactly ‘why this is even important’ today, when we are ‘ not under the law’ anymore?

We pray that you will be blessed in understanding this powerful chapter of scripture in Romans 11

Word given by the Spirit regarding this subject:

“The commandments and statutes that were provided for My people were given to My chosen nation, My Israel says Yahuwah.

Had I wanted them to be for the ‘Jews’ only, surely I would have waited for the emergence of the Yehudi from within the tribe of Yahuwdah ? I did not do such a thing says Yahuwah because My everlasting covenant was made with Israel. ALL that are part of Israel partake of the blessings of that covenant and are also subject to the requirements of that covenant.

My Son came to you so that all may partake of the blessings available through the covenant. He came so that the Torah could be properly understood and to remove the burden of the penalty for  sin which was death and remains death for all that are not counted among the children of Israel.

There are many lies being taught by the tares- that My chosen nation has been ‘un-chosen’- if that were the case, nothing would be certain and all faith would be misplaced.

Only through Israel can the inheritance be attained. Would a Father make a co-heir with his son from a stranger of unknown character from a foreign nation?

This is a simple picture says Yahuwah- there is one tree whose roots are fed from the very essence of My Spirit.

That tree is Israel the nation that I chose above all nations, the people with whom I made My everlasting covenant.

Becoming a brother to My Son bears the gift of confirmation of your nationality – you are no longer a stranger, but a part of Israel,the ‘wild branch’ which is part of the true tree of  Israel by the same roots and an equal partaker of the inheritance promises I made to that set apart nation says Yahuwah.

My Son is the WORD made flesh, the demonstration and interpretation of the Torah perfected and correctly interpreted.

The promise of the inheritance is pursued through the Torah.

Those that followed My Son in the flesh when He walked among you, gave a glimpse of the power available to the children of Israel who walk according to My Word using My Torah as their guide.

To deny your part in Israel is to cause you to sell your birthright as did Esau.

Your birthright is the same as for  all those that are born into  Israel literally  AND spiritually.

There is but ONE covenant and one inheritance, always to Israel and  Israel alone.

To aspire to the inheritance and refuse the nationality is a path that only leads to destruction.

Many are called, but few are chosen says Yahuwah.

I am ONLY calling Israel. The grace of My salvation provides you with a ‘passport’ that will gain you entrance into the nation.

In order to perfect the salvation of your soul, wherein lies the path to rewards and the ‘hope of the higher calling’ which is the resurrection of the chosen  from out of those that are called.

You have to prove yourself worthy and earn the right to partake of that part of the inheritance by running a good race.

To run the race effectively you must run strictly according to the rules- the commands and statutes given to your nation Israel are the rules says Yahuwah.

Follow them precisely and do not deviate lest you find yourself ‘off track’

Any such transgression will cause you to lose ground. Keep your eye on Yahuw , he already outlined the perfect application of the rules.

You will miss the mark in many respects on many occasions, else you could not remain on the earth. Mercifully the spiritual penalty of the ‘law’, eternal death and damnation has been removed  once and for all for all those counted among the children of  Israel. This was My grace-full gift says Yahuwah.

Now as children, you can aspire to be sons and if sons, even co-heirs to the fullness of the promises.

A child attains son-ship through maturity.

A son, either by birth OR adoption attains the rights of co-heir by the way he treats the Father.

If he follows the desires and instructions of his father , he will qualify for heirship and inherit his birthright.

The birthright for ALL the children of My chosen nation Israel is of unfathomable riches says Yahuwah.

Run your race well says Yahuawh, the closer you get to the prize, the more clearly you will hear My voice, shouting encouragement and willing you to win.”

Scriptural Validation ( from above Word from God that will appear in blue italics each time)

“ the commandments and statutes that were provided for My people were given to My chosen nation, My Yasarel, says Yahuwah ”

In Rom. 9: 4-5 we see one of numerous references to this:  ‘theirs is the adoption as sons, theirs the divine glory, the covenants, the receiving of the law, the temple worship and the promises’  NIV

“Had I wanted them to be for the ‘Yehudi (Jews)’ only, surely I would have waited for the emergence of the ‘Yehudi (Jews)’ from within Yahuwdah (Judah)? I did not do such a thing says Yahuwah because My everlasting covenant was made with Yasarel”

The united kingdom of Yasarel was divided after the death of Solomon. After the reign of King Solomon his son Rehoboam became king . But Yahuwah said to Solomon in 1 Kings 11:11  “so Yahuwah said to Solomon ‘ since this is your attitude ( in 11:4 it says ‘ as Solomon grew old his wives turned his heart after other gods’) and you have not kept My covenant and My decrees, which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates.

12” nevertheless, for the sake of David your father, I will not do it during your lifetime. I will tear it out of the hand of your son” NIV

This came true when Rehoboam rejected advice from the elders that served his father ( 1 Kings 12: 5-15) and took advice from ‘the young men that grew up with him’ and it resulted in placing a heavier yoke of ‘harsh labor’ on the Yasarelites. And so it came to be that in verse 16 it says “ when all Yasarel saw that the king refused to listen to them, they answered the king: what share do we have in David, what part in Jesse’s son? To your tents O Yisrael! Look after your own house O David! 17. But as for the Yisraelites (Israelites) who were living in the towns of Yahuwdah (Judah), Rehoboam still rules over them”NIV

Thus out of the 12 Tribes of Yasarel, Rehoboam ruled over Yahuwdah (Judah) and Benjamin who stayed true to the House of Judah.

The Ephraimite, Jeroboam, was made king over the remaining 10 tribes and when a civil war loomed the Lord said in 12: 23 ‘ say to Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, to the whole house of Judah and Benjamin and to the rest of the people.24. This is what the Lord says: Do not go up and fight against your brothers, the Israelites. Go home, every one of you, for this is My doing” NIV

Therefore Israel in its complete united state are all of the 12 tribes, but the Scriptures made a distinction between ‘Israel and Judah’ due to this pivotal historic moment and you will find in the Word written often ‘ the TWO houses of Israel- meaning the house of Israel ( also called the house of Ephraim  interchangeably and meaning the same thing) and the house of Judah( incorporating Benjamin)

Thus when the Almighty God creator of the heavens and the earth made this everlasting covenant with Israel , he made it with ALL of Israel, not only with the ‘Jews’. The Jews are called by this identification because they are from the House of Judah.

• covenant- see full explanation at bottom of page

Gal 3:29 : If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

“ALL that are part of Israel partake of the blessings of that covenant and are also subject to the requirements of that covenant.”

In Romans 11: 1 – 24, Paul makes a passionate argument to support this truth by the Holy Spirit speaking through him .

I am quoting only part of the chapter, but do read all of it.

Verse 2 “ God did not reject His people whom He foreknew”

verse 5 ‘ so too at the present time there is a remnant chosen by grace”

6. and if by grace, it is NO longer by works,

Verse 7 ‘what then? What Israel sought so earnestly it did not obtain, but the elect did. The others were hardened’

Verse 11’ again I ask” did they stumble so as to fall beyond recovery’ Not at all !”

Verse 14 “ in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?

If the part of the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.

If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, do not boast over those branches. If you do , CONSIDER THIS; You do NOT support the root, but the root supports you. You will say then’ branches were broken off so that I could be grafted in. Granted. But they were broken off because of unbelief, and you stand by faith. Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. For if God did not spare the natural branches, he will not spare you either

verse 23.  and if they do not persist in unbelief, they will be grafted in for God is able to graft them in again.

24. After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches be grafted into their own olive tree!”

The reason why the Lord put emphasis on this truth is that once a believer in His Son is being born again through faith in the blood, he is ‘grafted into the olive tree’ and the ROOT of that tree is the same for ALL who come to believe , whether you are a Jew who come to believe in Christ , the Messiah or a Gentile who come to believe.

There is NOT another ‘way in’ for a Jew that believes on the Blood of the Saviour . There is ONE way for both Jews and Gentiles.

Have the Jews rejected the Messiah at His first coming? ‘Yes’ !

And since that time, whilst countless Gentiles came to accept Jesus ( Yahuw, His Hebrew name) and run with the gospel preaching the truth till today, nearly two thousand years since, what about the Jews? Those that in this period of time ( and the many that in the last few decades increased in number as believers) come to believe in Him? Are they not part of the same ‘tree’ as you and I who are Gentiles?

Yes! As the verse above says clearly ‘ their own olive tree’ !

Why ‘their own’? Because of the root! And the root is? Abraham in the physical and Christ the TRUE root of the Word. Because it is with Abraham that the covenant was made and his FAITH, NOT works,  set all of this in motion. From this root came Isaac and then Jacob and then his 12 sons that became the tribe of Israel the olive tree. From this root came the prophets, the law (Torah, which purely mean ‘instructions’) the Kings, specifically David and then the Savior Christ , Yahuw the Messiah the TRUE ROOT which is the WORD.

And it is ALL by faith , it never was any other way.

“ Isaiah 27: 6 “ In days to come Jacob will take root, Israel will bud and blossom and fill all the world with fruit’”

Now Paul says in Romans 11- we as Gentiles are now the wild olive branch that that has been grafted into the cultivated olive tree with the root of Abraham. Most ( save for a remnant – as in verse 5) of the Jews have been ‘cut off due to unbelief’ and we grafted in because of faith.

So we now share in the sap from the root . But so does the Jew who believes ! ( thus ALL gentiles and ALL Jews who do not believe are both outside of this tree- the Jews, being ‘cut off’ and the unbelieving Gentiles ‘never grafted in’)

What then does the Jew do that gets grafted in? become a gentile believer? NO! He now stands on faith in the blood of Christ and is NOT under the law of SIN and DEATH anymore . PLUS he is standing on the blessings of the covenant.

What now of the Gentile that gets grafted in? Does he become a Jew, because the tree is Israel that he is grafted into? NO! But us Gentile believers are now PART OF ISRAEL. NOT physical Israel . Why is the olive tree SPIRITUAL Israel? Because Abraham the ROOT was justified by FAITH and not by legal works ( ” law “) !

That is why all of us who are justified by faith is of the SEED of Abraham- Jew or Gentile!

As Paul emphatically states and I give only 1 of many examples  Romans 2: 29 ‘ No,  a man is a Jew if he is one inwardly, and circumcision ( the sign in the flesh was under law for PHYSICAL Israel) is circumcision of the heart, by the SPIRIT, NOT by the written code. Such a man’s praise is not from men, but from God”

Now that it has dawned on a very shocked Christian that he is part of the olive tree which is Spiritual Israel, does that now mean he is also under the blessings and curses of the covenant God made with Abraham – the father of ALL who have faith in Christ? The answer is a resounding yes! We are NOT under the law you say.. and YES we are NOT under the law, as you rightly said.

And which ‘law is that’ ?

The law of SIN and DEATH.

And therefore we will give you the sobering truth from the New Covenant (Testament), which confirms that which you do know , that “we are not under law but under grace.’’ But this truth carries with it a deep deep maturing of your faith to be a suffering servant ( suffering in the flesh towards the lusts and temptations of the world, the flesh and the devil) to be part of the Bride of Christ.

We explain this in depth under the teaching  ‘who is the bride of Christ?’

We continue further.

“ALL that are part of Israel partake of the blessings of that covenant and are also subject to the requirements of that covenant.

My Son came so that all may partake of the blessings available through the covenant. He came so that the Torah could be properly understood and to remove the burden of the penalty for sin which was death and remains death for all that are not counted among the children of Israel.

There are many lies being taught by the tares- that My chosen nation has been ‘un-chosen’- if that were the case, nothing would be certain and all faith would be misplaced.

Only through Israel can the inheritance be attained. Would a Father make a co-heir with his son from a stranger of unknown character from a foreign nation?

This is a simple picture says the Lord- there is one tree whose roots are fed from the very essence of My Spirit.

That tree is Israel, the nation that I chose above all nations, the people with whom I made My everlasting covenant.”

NAS Jeremiah 31:35 Thus says the LORD, Who gives the sun for light by day, And the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar; The LORD of hosts is His name: 36 “If this fixed order departs From before Me,” declares the LORD, “Then the offspring of Israel also shall cease From being a nation before Me forever.” 37 Thus says the LORD, “If the heavens above can be measured, And the foundations of the earth searched out below, Then I will also cast off all the offspring of Israel For all that they have done,” declares the LORD.

Yahuw ( Jesus) came so that the Instructions ( the Torah) could be properly understood.

Matt 5: 17 NIV  and bold letters mine to emphasize “ Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law ( Torah) or the prophets; I have NOT come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, UNTIL heaven and earth disappear , not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law, until everything is accomplished”

Then He continues to say !

19. Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Does this sound ‘contradicting’ from ‘ You are not under the law’?

If  Christ came to ‘abolish the law’ , then it means that ‘you could murder, right? And you could steal and covet ?

No! He IS the very Word of God, now made flesh, and would NOT contradict Himself. He kept the PERFECT law as He IS the Word, He is the Law of the Word.

Heb 13: 8 ‘ Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever”

The perfect Law showed us what sin is . As Paul says “ Rom 7:7

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said ‘do not covert’. But sin, SEIZING the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead. Once I was alive apart from law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life ad I died.

Verse 11 “ ……and through the commandment PUT me to DEATH’

12. so then the LAW is HOLY, and the commandment is HOLY, RIGHTEOUS and GOOD”

Now does Paul contradict himself ‘too’? NO!

In the New Covenant (Testament) we will see that Christ died to SET us FREE from what? The Law? NO! the law is Holy and righteous and good! ( verse 12 above, and Christ also said ” I did NOT come to abolish the law”)

He came to set us free from the PENALTY and CURSE of the law that brought DEATH and eternal damnation for man.

Now reconciling us to God through His blood we are FREE from the PENALTY of sin and death from the Law , but not from the commandments of the law which is Holy and righteous.

“ Rom 8 1” Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the LAW of the Spirit of life set me free from the LAW of sin and death”

When we now, after being born again and having been set free from the curse of the law, NOW fall short of the mark ( the good, perfect, set-apart ( holy) Word- the righteous ( word-abiding) decrees, commands, statutes precepts, WE REPENT. And if we live our entire natural life on earth seeking more the desires of the flesh, the world and despising or falling away from, being disobedient and not repenting from the holy and righteous and good ” instruction of the Word”, we will suffer loss. Our eternal salvation is sealed in Christ, but we have to ” work out our salvation with fear and trembling” and this refers to the salvation of our souls unto rewards for the millennium Kingdom of the 1000 years reign of Christ on earth.

We are now part of Spiritual Israel, from the root of that tree , the covenant God made with Abraham- that through his seed ALL nations ( Jews and Gentiles) will be blessed.

And to Spiritual Israel whom the Gentile is part of, has many promises been made to- many blessings (and curses for disobedience,) plus beautiful everlasting festivals that is set apart ( holy) to keep unto the Lord and the 7^th day of the week!)

But after this statement you want to ‘fall off your chair’ ! because your flesh and mind screams “ I am NOT under the Old covenant but the New!

True- but again what does this mean? The New covenant is the one made in the Blood of Christ that paid for the penalty of sin and death- yes!, and so we are now grafted into Spiritual Israel and the blessings that come through OBEDIENCE to all that God requires. Christ did NOT abolish the Torah ,( the instructions) the law. He upheld it, He fulfilled it, He completed it, He interpreted it. He abolished the penalty that came with it.

And now that we are not under the penalty of the curse of sin and death, why should we keep the Torah ( the instructions)? Why should I not covet? Why should I not steal? Am I not ‘free’ from the penalty of the law?

Now you are asking the ‘mystery questions’ ! And I put it in abbreviated commas’ as it is not really a mystery, but it has been so hidden in the man made teachings of unenlightened Christian teachers, that is has become a ‘mystery’.

I do want to add though, Christ never broke any of the Torah- including the Sabbath- the 7^th day ( “Saturday”) but He chastised and ridiculed and nullified the man made laws of the Pharisees.

One example I learned which amazed me was that in this ‘law’ which is called the ‘Tokanot ‘ of the Jews, is actually one stipulation that a ‘man cannot made mud ( clay) on the Sabbath and put on his eyes’

What a strange thing to command people?! That is why Jesus ( Yahuw, His Hebrew name) did EXACTLY that, to ‘break’ their man made laws when He healed the man born blind on the Sabbath by spitting on the ground ( which is another of their laws- ‘one may not spit on the Sabbath’ ) and making ‘mud’ in His hands and putting on the mans eyes. And He then subsequently ‘broke’ a third of their laws on the same Sabbath when He said “ wash in the Pool of Siloam’  as there are certain  ‘rules’ to how far you can walk and whether it is to the pool or from the pool ( and the list is endless!)

Now what are these ‘mystery truths’?  We understand the truth of ‘not under the law’ , but under GRACE and yet you as a Christian or Jew who is born again, do not ‘murder’ ?  Are you now ‘keeping the law’ you are ‘set free’ from” ?

That is why Paul stated so clearly in Romans with exclamation marks , as the believers understood exactly this ‘argument’

Romans 6: 1 NIV “ What shall we say then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means!”

The key is as Paul continues “ we died to sin, how can we live in it any longer? Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death? “

And again in Romans 6: 15 ‘ What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law , but under grace ? By no means! ( he repeats the exact words twice!!)

Romans 6:11-12 ” in the same way, count yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus. Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires” And this is the key- you are now DEAD to sin and when it now comes to tempt you, you can master it. You can overcome it by the blood and the word of your testimony, by the power of the Holy Spirit within you and thus not “let sin reign in your mortal body”

verse 13 ” do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to Him as an instrument of righteousness. For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace”

Romans 7:21 “” so I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being, I delight in God’s law; but I see another law at work in me,waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me What a wretched man I am ! Who will rescue me from this body of death?Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!. So then, I myself  in my mind am a slave to God’s law, but in my sinful nature a slave to the law of sin”     We will also quote Romans 7:23-25 from the translation in “The King’s Covenant”

23 but I see a different power (fleshly law) in my members, warring against the power (law) of my mind and trying to bring me into captivity under the Dark Power of sin which is in my members. 24 What a wretched unbelieving man I was. Who could deliver me out of the body of this death? 25 I thank Almighty Loving YA of All Creation through YAHUW The Saving King of YAsarel, our Master. He did. So then with my mind, I myself serve Almighty Loving YA of All Creation‘s Law, but with the flesh, it seeks the law of rebellion against YAH. Yet I have impaled my flesh that I might live with my Savior YAHUWshua (YAHUW our salvation).

And here is the ‘battle’ between sin and righteousness ( ‘word abiding-ness’) for as long as you have a body. And ONLY those who are in Christ can overcome.

We are now grafted into the olive tree and partaking from the sap from the holy root and thus have an obligation to the righteous commands of the law, now that we are FREE  from the curse of the law brought by sin.

For Almighty God, on the Day of Judgment will look at every believer who is under the blood , Jew and Gentile , ALL of Spiritual Israel, and grant unto us everlasting life because of the Blood, BUT WILL judge us . But NOT the Blood, which God cannot judge as Christ paid the penalty in our place already, but for what we have done IN THE BODY whether good or bad, for rewards or loss. Did you live righteously in the fear of God or did you live as the world?  Did you ‘pick up the burden of the cross? Did you deny your flesh the lusts of the world? Did you lay down your own free will to rather obey His Word? Did you cut off, rid yourself of, said ‘no’ to , threw off,

1 Pet 1:13 “rid yourself of all malice and deceit, hypocrisy ,envy and slander of every kind. Like new born babies crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good”

Heb 12: 4 “In your STRUGGLE against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood” and in verse 7 “ Endure hardship as a discipline, God is treating you as sons”

After salvation NO man is now perfect. Now he must grow up in his salvation and ‘renew his mind’ ( because his spirit is now renewed ( born again) but not so the flesh or mind and THAT is the crux of the matter why we have to submit our minds and bodies to God. And if your mind and flesh is running at the pace of the world , your spirit will suffer under that. You are still saved by the blood of Christ that paid the penalty of your sin, but by not keeping the Torah of God’s Word ( the instructions in the Word of God) you will suffer great loss on the day of judgment.

LOSS? This sounds harsh you say. But the answer is a resounding yes.

Your spirit is saved by the Blood , but by the same faith you must now OVERCOME your flesh and the desires of the flesh that leads to SIN ( from which the penalty is removed by the Blood but for which you have to repent every day) and LAY down your  life of ‘self’ and submit yourself to Gods perfect Word in ALL totality.

Now is the time to grow up in your faith, and ‘work out your faith with fear and trembling’

1 Pet 4:1 ” Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because those who have suffered in their bodies are done with sin”

1 Pet 2:20 ” but how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example that you should follow in His steps”

Phill 1:29 ” for it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe on Him, but also to suffer for Him, since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have’

We thus have to live no longer for ourselves once being born again, but for Christ.

1 Cor 7:29 ” What I mean brothers, is that the time is short. From now on those who are married should live as if they are not; those who mourn, as if they did not;those who are happy, as if they were not;those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away”

These are just  a few of the Scriptural truths – see our other teachings on the website  that deals with loss for believers even unto exclusion from being part of the bride of Christ, yet saved unto eternity.

1 Cor 3: 1” Brothers, I should not address you as spiritual, but as worldly- mere infants in Christ”. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not ready for it”

1 Pet 2: 2 ‘ like newborn babies crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation”

Phill. 2: 12 Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling,

Heb 5: 1 2In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food!

Hebrews 5:14 NIV But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

1 Cor 3.10 NIV

“By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should be careful how he builds. ¹¹For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. ¹²If any man builds on this foundation using gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay or straw, ¹³his work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man’s work. ¹⁴If what he has built survives, he will receive his reward. ¹⁵If it is burned up, he will suffer loss; he himself will be saved, but only as one escaping through the flames.

II Cor 5: 10 NIV “For we must all appear before the Judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while IN THE BODY, whether good or bad”

A person who comes to Christ MUST believe ( NOT believe PLUS some man made rule to salvation) he must BELIEVE plus nothing.

A sinner cannot ‘repent for his sins’ and THEN come to Christ. That is totally unscriptural

A sinner MUST believe and THEN after he comes to believe he must always walk in repentance.

Why? Because not only is the Blood he is standing on Holy and the covenant he is now under is holy and perfect because Christ IS that holy blood and Word of covenant and when you now sin, you err under the blood and HAVE to repent SO that you DO NOT build on your new foundation ( 1 Cor 3: 10-20) with hay, stubble and straw that burns up!

Romans 10: 8 NIV “ But what does it say? The word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, that is, the word of faith we are proclaiming:

That if you confess with your mouth “Jesus is Lord’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved”

Acts 16:30 “ ……………Sirs what must I do to be saved? They replied “ Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved- you and your whole household”

John 20:31 “ But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name”

John 5:24 “ I ( Jesus) tell you the truth, whoever hears My Word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life and will not be condemned, he has crossed over from death to life”

A man who has never been born again, an unbeliever, does not have a foundation from which he can ‘fall’.

That is why John the Baptist could say to the Jews “ repent! For the Kingdom of God is near” They had the Torah and law which is their foundation from which they fell and now we who are under the Blood has the perfect foundation of Christ the Word – Gods perfect Torah ( law) and if we err, we have to repent each and every time.

Works? What ‘works’? We are not saved by works but by faith you say. Yes that is correct.

Eph 2: 8 “ For it is by grace you have been saved through faith- and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- not by works, so that NO ONE CAN BOAST”

Any works by your flesh that is not birthed by the works of faith through the Holy Spirit in you , is again “hay, stubble and straw”

Why then a Judgment seat ? God cannot judge my foundation of blood , it is a free gift by faith. Yes! But it is your life IN THE BODY from the day of salvation – (“work OUT your salvation with fear and trembling’ ) that will be !

Rom 2: 16 “ This will take place on the day when God will judge men’s secrets through Jesus Christ, as my gospel declares”

This is only the tip of the iceberg on the ‘strong meat’ truth of the Word on this particular subject and we will publish several other teachings that deal with mans rewards/loss/inheritance in the millennium Kingdom of Christ ( when Satan is bound for 1000 years and is separate from eternal kingdom of God)

Look under our section “ the Kingdom Truths” – there are several topics that deal with ‘rewards and loss’, as once man has come to ‘believe in Christ and is saved by the blood’, he now has a sobering responsibility to ‘save his soul’

1 Pet 1: 9 for you are receiving the GOAL of your faith, the salvation of your souls’’ Greek word ‘psuche’ that is translated life or soul ( and this is NOT eternal salvation, but soul salvation (deeds done whilst in the body on earth)

Heb 5: 12 “    ¹¹ We have much to say about this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to understand. ¹² In fact, though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you the elementary truths of God’s word all over again. You need milk, not solid food! ¹³ Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. ¹⁴ But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.

6:1 Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death”

It is quite sobering that the ‘milk’ we get every Sunday in church is ‘laying the foundation’ ! We ought by now to walk in utter conviction of Matt 16.

Now that we ,by faith have come to believe, NOW we PICK UP our cross and DENY ourselves. ( a sinner CANNOT deny himself OR pick up his cross- he HAS TO BELIEVE plus ‘nothing’ – NO “works” of ‘picking up his cross, lest he ‘can boast’ !

But after the foundation is laid , we now are to deny ourselves and pick up the burden of the cross ( that is the Word – the Torah in ALL its fullness – not only the ‘bits we like’) and become holy like our Savior is holy. That we can ONLY do NOT by ourselves lest we fall short  by doing our own works of the flesh, but by submitting ourselves to the Holy Spirit to bear FRUIT in us so that we will not be ashamed on the Day of Judgment that we were saved by grace and then lived like the world!

as quoted earlier, 1 Pet 4:1 ” Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because those who have suffered in their bodies are done with sin. As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.

verse 5 ” but they will have to give give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. For this reason the gospel was preached even to those who are now dead, so that they might be judged according to human standards in regard to the body, but live according to God in regard to the spirit”

Romans 7:4 ” so my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead in order that we might bear fruit to God. For when we were controlled by the sinful nature, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death. But now by dying what once bound us, we have been released from the law , so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not of the old way of the written code”

Now that we understand the difference of “the penalty of sin and death by the law” and ” keeping of the righteous commands of the law” in order to bear fruit, we can NOW move into growing up in our salvation. And in suffering in our bodies ( in our struggle against sin and overcoming sin by the blood and the Spirit) we will enter into the Judgment and hear the King say ” well done My good and faithful servant” ( as God cannot commend you saying ‘well done’ because of the free gift of the blood of His Son!)but by overcoming in this life BECAUSE of Christ’s finished work.

AMEN!
