SALVATION TO ALL

Isaiah 56:1-6
1 Thus says the LORD:

“ Keep justice, and do righteousness,
For My salvation is about to come,
And My righteousness to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man who does this,
And the son of man who lays hold on it;
Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”
3 Do not let the son of the foreigner
Who has joined himself to the LORD
Speak, saying,

“ The LORD has utterly separated me from His people”;
Nor let the eunuch say,

“ Here I am, a dry tree.”
4 For thus says the LORD:

“ To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And hold fast My covenant,
5 Even to them I will give in My house
And within My walls a place and a name
Better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
That shall not be cut off.“

Today I write to you from a sad observation and personal emails that we receive regarding those who have turned away from gathering with the saints due to the bigotry and haughtiness of the church. I understand that at times friendship with the world can seem (& maybe is) much more genuine than a relationship with a fellow Believer. Many of you have been hurt by your church family and now equate or blame Jesus for your pain. Beloved, I really do get it, but do not allow the shortcomings of any man to destroy your walk with Christ. Jesus Is Lovely and pure, and a shield to those who put their trust in Him (Proverbs 30:5).

There is so much confusion today about Jew & Gentile and how we all fit in, that some have forgotten Jesus came for everyone. Salvation is not just for the select few, but for all who call upon the Name of The Lord Our God. Romans 10:12 tells us, “For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.”

Look at the following Psalms:

“For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.” Psalm 86:5
“The LORD is near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.” Psalm 145:18

There are many whom I personally know that have made a clique and a religion out of labeling themselves as a Zionist or Messianic Jew, as if they now belong to a 'Club Elite!' They abstain from eating foods once enjoyed, dissect and destroy the simplicity of The Word of God, and are so bound with Legalistic rules and regulations, that they have made void the Power of The Cross in their lives: These beloved are those whom Jude referred to as, " spots in your love feasts" "..while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; 13 raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever." Jude 1:12-13
In other words, Apostates!

Religious bondage has shackled mans freedom of conscience from the beginning of time. Get your Bible and read Matthew chapter 23 to see how Jesus delivered a blistering rebuke to the Pharisees and religious leaders of His day: This rebuke still applies today and many are being led astray by false interpretations!

He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 2 Corinthians 3:6

NOT LEGALISM, BUT CHRIST
Colossians 2:16-23
16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. 18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.
20 Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— 21 “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” 22 which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.

Those who Walk In Jesus, established in the faith and abounding in Thanksgiving, are delivered from the bondage of self imposed religious interpretation. Those who allow the bigotry of any man to sway them from The Love of The Father through Christ Jesus are in danger of forfeiting their salvation! Beloved, if the latter describes you, turn around and place your feet once again on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ, for He is always near and ever present.

Praise my Lord of Glory!

Jesus tells us that He came to give us life more abundant: Physically, spiritually and monetarily. Satan came to destroy all that you are and will ever be: Which will you choose?

10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10:10

On a final note: If you want to leave a worthy inheritance to your children, find a church home that teaches who the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is to them. Find a church that believes and boldly proclaims, Jesus IS Lord and The Only Way to The Father.
Fill your household with lasting memories of a happy, healthy family who loves God, obeys His Word, and lives life to the fullest every single day! For who knows how many more days will pass before your time runs out! Why would you waste one moment?

Until next time,
Ponder Ecclesiastes 9:10
