As a human race, we are on the way to better times, even though the coming years will be filled with pain. Our Creator, Yehowah Elohim, has given us many promises of a better future.
Let us always seek the holy face of our Creator and Savior and strive to obey the gospel of glory, loving our Creator above all things and our neighbors as ourselves.
I will only include hymns of praise in this study, because listening to them is the most effective and pleasant way to be filled with the Holy Spirit and to banish all the worries and unnecessary concerns of this world from our minds.
I have been writing these shabat articles for almost 2½ years. My eyes can no longer stand sitting at the PC for long periods of time, and my lower back hurts more than before. That's why I'm taking a break after this.
I thank you for the encouraging feedback I've received, and if anyone still wants to read my shabatical studies after this, they can read the previous studies, because the message of the Bible takes time.
The message of Salvation is eternal
The opportunity for salvation that our Savior Yeshua the Messiah has purchased for us on the cross of Golgotha is uniquely valuable. A person who does not care about it will be eternally separated from his Creator. He does not cease to be a person, because just before the final judgment, the bodily resurrection of all who have lived on earth will also take place and the nations will be gathered before the judgment seat of the Mashiach.
Matt. 25:31-46 Unfortunately, many who consider themselves Christians neglect the following acts of love and are in danger of being placed among those on the left hand of the King and from there into eternal punishment and perdition!
34 Then the King will say to those on His right, Come, the blessed of My Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35 For I hungered, and you gave Me food to eat; I thirsted, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you took Me in; 36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.
37 Then the righteous will answer, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungry, and fed You ; or thirsting, and gave You drink? 38 And when did we see You a stranger, and took You in; or naked, and clothed You ? 39 And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and came to You?
40 And answering, the King will say to them, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did it to one of these, the least of My brothers, you did it to Me.
41 Then He will also say to those on His left, Go away from Me, cursed ones, into the everlasting fire having been prepared for the Devil and his angels. 42 For I hungered, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I thirsted, and you gave me nothing to drink; 43 I was a stranger, and you did not take Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.
44 Then they also will answer Him, saying, Lord, when did we see You hungering, or thirsting, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to You?
45 Then He will answer them, saying, Truly I say to you, Inasmuch as you did not do it to one of these, the least, neither did you do it to Me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into everlasting life.<<
Acts of love were also required during the Law Covenant
We read the following verses about the poor among us: Deut. 15:9-10
>>9 Beware that there is no evil thought in your heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release draws near; and your eye be evil against your needy brother, and you give him nothing, and he cry to Yehowah against you and it be sin to you. 10 You shall surely give to him, and your heart shall not be grieved when you give to him, because Yehowah your Elohim will bless you for this thing, in all your work, and in all that you put your hand to.<<
Sanctification is essential
We must absolutely strive for perfect holiness in our thoughts, words and deeds, and not allow any sin to dwell within us, but must confess and forsake it. Let us ask for the blood of the Lamb, Yeshua the Messiah, to cleanse us from all our sins. We must pray for strength to endure temptations, for it is certain that the Devil will try to make us fall later into the same sins again.
Rom. 6:19
>>I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.<<
1 Thess. 4:7
>>For Elohim has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.<<
Heb. 12:14
>>Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Adonai.<<Let us cheerfully give of our own to the poor!
If we truly love our Savior, we know that our possessions are not our own, but are the false mammon entrusted to us. With them, we can make friends for eternity. Once there, they will invite us as guests to their eternal homes! Genuine faith in Yeshua the Mashiach leads to living acts of love! Luke 12:29-33
>>29 And you, do not seek what you shall eat, or what you shall drink, and stop being in anxiety. 30 For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need these things. 31 But seek the Kingdom of Elohim and all these things will be added to you.
32 Stop being afraid, little flock, because your Father was pleased to give you the Kingdom. 33 Sell your possessions and give alms. Make for yourselves purses that do not grow old, an unfailing treasure in Heaven, where a thief cannot come near, nor moth can corrupt.<<
