As soon as the sheep hear the familiar voice of their
good shepherd, they quickly and happily run to him.
So also all the disciples of Adonai Yeshua rush to him,
give thanks to him, pray and willingly listen to him
and follow the instructions they receive from him.

We are the handiwork of Yehowah Elohim
We are like that especially if we have accepted the message of salvation that has been offered to us in the Scriptures of the New Covenant with the faith of the heart. So it is a matter of a personal decision of the heart to believe in the good news of Yehowah Elohim's work of redemption in his Son on the cross of Calvary and that he raised his Son from the dead on the third day after being nailed to the cross.
The Son of the Most High, Adonai Yeshua, reconciled us before his Father, us who had already before placed our hope of salvation only in him, and did not rely on any of our own good deeds, nor on our achievements. When we confess Adonai Yeshua also as our own Savior in front of people, then we receive the Holy Spirit as a seal until the day of redemption, as a guarantee of our heavenly inheritance.
Let us reject false traditions and customs!
Each of us, regardless of our starting point, has several false traditions and habits that it is important for us to give up so that Adonai Yeshua can use us as vessels of His grace to take the message of salvation to those who lack it. Many traditions and harmful habits have, as it were, come as a legacy from our families. We have adopted some of them from our acquaintances, school friends and co-workers.
Such habits include, for example, laziness, an unhealthy eating and drinking culture, and a wasteful lifestyle. Many people are used to making expensive trips abroad by plane, as if under the pretext of culture and civility, without thinking about how much their travel costs could help the poor and miserable people closest to them, e.g. in disaster areas and countries at war.
Regardless of the person, we will all have to stand before HaMashiach Yeshua's court to answer for everything we have done and failed to do on earth, even if we could have helped our suffering neighbors in many different ways. The best way now is to find out the various reliable channels through which we can support evangelization in a variety of ways with grants and prayers.
Let us always seek the favor of our Creator!
Often the opinions of our loved ones, friends, schoolmates and workmates are in conflict with what we ourselves understand to be the will of our Creator. Then we must choose the will of our Creator even at the risk of being rejected by those people.
I remind the reader of the apostle Paul's important teaching: Gal. 1:9-11
>>9 As we have said before, and now I say again, if any one is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, let him be condemned to hell! 10 Am I now trying to gain the approval of people, or of Elohim? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a slave of HaMashiach! 11 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that the gospel I preached is not of human origin.<<
The hope of salvation encourages us to do this!
Since we know that our life on earth is nothing compared to eternity, let us also act accordingly. After all, we have become partakers of that exceedingly precious salvation through grace and faith alone. Let us therefore be diligent in every kind of good work as we labor together with Adonai Yeshua in his vineyard. Sweating and toil will end soon.
Soon we will be able to rise up in the winds and clouds to our beloved Savior in the rapture of believers, at the sound of the seventh, last trumpet, and we will become incorruptible. We pass to that wonderful state of being, of which John saw the revelation, and which awaits us in Paradise and in the common hometown of the redeemed, the New Jerusalem. We read verses Rev. 7:16-17 about it
>>16 They will never go hungry or be thirsty again, and the sun will not beat down on them, nor any burning heat, 17 because the Lamb in the middle of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to springs of living water, and Elohim will wipe away every tear from their eyes.<<
