The absolute truth is that as a result of the Fall, all of humanity
has been forced to live as slaves to sin. There is no exception to
this, even though humanists claim so. As a result of that original
sin, we see pain, great deprivation, suffering, inequality, hatred,
and death all around us. But our Creator, Yehowah Elohim, who
has been forced to live as slaves to sin. There is no exception to
this, even though humanists claim so. As a result of that original
sin, we see pain, great deprivation, suffering, inequality, hatred,
and death all around us. But our Creator, Yehowah Elohim, who
loves the people, has sent His Son, born of a virgin, as a Savior
to atone our sins and free us from the slavery of all our sins. It is
freedom not to sin, if only we accept that gift in faith. It is a gift!
freedom not to sin, if only we accept that gift in faith. It is a gift!
What has Yeshua Mashiach freed us from?
A. Original sin, the sins we have committed, their consequences and slavery. Rom. 6:22-23
B. Unbelief and self-reliance. John 16:7-11
C. The futility of our sinful way of life inherited from our ancestors. 1 Pet. 1:18-19
D. The chains of lies. The truth is that Yeshua brought breaks the chains of lies. John 8:35-36
E. To love all Christians as he loved his disciples. John 13:34, John 15:9, 12
F. To love even our persecutors and enemies. Matt. 5:44
G. The chains of culture. It's often a waste of time and can lead to deception. John 8:12 and Matt. 19:21
H. On the elements of the world and the forced observance of all kinds of ceremonial feasts. Gal. 4:3-5 / Col. 2:8-10, 16-17, 20-23
- Gal. 4:3-5
>>3 So also we, when we were minors, were enslaved under the basic forces (or elements) of the world (or universe). 4 But when the appropriate time had come, Elohim sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the Law (of Moses), 5 to redeem those who were under the Law, so that we may be adopted as sons with full rights.<<

- Col. 2:8-10, 16-17, 20-23
>>8 Be careful not to allow anyone to captivate you through an empty, deceitful philosophy that is according to human traditions and the elemental spirits (or the rudiments) of the world, and not according to Mashiach. 9 For in him all the fullness of deity lives in bodily form, 10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
16 Therefore do not let anyone judge you with respect to food or drink, or in the matter of a feast, new moon, or Shabat days - 17 these are only the shadow of the things to come, but the reality is Mashiach!
...Those are some of the most important points to mention.
Do we believe in the saving work of our Savior?
Without faith in him, we would also be without a Creator and without hope in the world. Moreover, we would be on our way to eternal separation from him and to a place we would never want to go to and from which it is never possible to escape. This is Hell with all its horrors and where those who go there must spend all eternity in the company of the Devil and his fallen angels and the wicked.
A healthy fear of Elohim is to consider that terrible possibility before our time of searching here on earth ends. It is foolish to start thinking about this only when we are old or on our deathbed and only then to start repenting, because at that point faith is most often no longer there at all. Faith gives birth to hope. Of course, it is better to ask for mercy from Yeshua even then than never.
How can we ensure our salvation?
The only basis for our hope of salvation is to believe that our Savior Yeshua Mashiach has already completed the work of atonement and redemption for our souls on the cross of Golgotha. True faith also requires works of faith, for without works faith is dead. The first work of faith is to confess our sins and forsake them. The next step is to go to believers' baptism by immersion in the name of Yeshua HaMashiach. Mark 16:15-16.

By reading the Bible and following its instructions and avoiding all kinds of sin like the plague. We receive additional help from regular prayer, which we can perform with understanding and in the Holy Spirit, praying in new tongues. We can also be filled with the Holy Spirit through the psalms and spiritual songs of the Bible, who brings the love of Elohim into our hearts.
A local congregation, where the gifts of the Holy Spirit operate soberly, is a good place to grow in a healthy knowledge of our Savior and his will. Unfortunately, today the Devil has sown many different heresies that are so destructive that it is advisable to immediately leave all kind of congregations that have fallen into his power and pray for another place to take their place.
Close contact with others who truly believe in the teachings of the Bible and its promises helps us in our struggle for faith. For some of us, it may be as long as 100 years, their life time. Let us work hard to spread the message of salvation in our country and, if possible, also support the work of spreading the message of salvation abroad! All need the Good News!
It is very important to support poor believers in Yeshua the Mashiah in poor countries and disaster areas financially, because that is what we are called to do as Christians. Unfortunately, many Christians live in abundance, take expensive vacations to the south, and give only a little to charities. Don't they realize that the universal congregation includes all Christians in the world?
Let us beware of the temptations of the world!
The same Devil who succeeded in making our first parents sin still lives on earth and, with the help of his legions of angels of darkness, he is trying to seduce modern people into numerous sins that are unique to this age. They are spread by TV, radio, the internet, pornographic videos and magazines, as well as filthy films that are full of violence. Matt. 18:7
I have noticed how the songs containing vanity that I listened to on the radio as a child may start playing in my mind quite unexpectedly in the shower! Many songs have become embedded in people's subconscious and when the right moment comes, they come to mind, even though I no longer want to think about them. The same thing happens through bad films and videos. Let us avoid them!
The Devil knows that he has only a short time to spend on earth before he is imprisoned spiritually for 1,000 years. That is why he is trying to destroy children and youth in the first place. Unfortunately, he has succeeded in this, as Western countries have abandoned Biblical values even in elementary school. The value vacuum is filled by teaching about mixed sex, evolution, witchcraft, etc.
