Are you among the millions of people who are oblivious to your need for a Savior to save you from eternal death? Do you think there is no such thing as eternal death? Do you think there will be no consequences/rewards for the way you lived your life? Do you think there is no divine being who you will answer to for the evil, unrighteous, wicked things you have done? Do you think you are a good person who will go to heaven on your own merits? I encourage you to think again after you have considered the information provided below.

There is, indeed, a Divine Being who created the heavens and the earth and who brought you into existence. Contrary to popular belief, mankind did not evolve from monkeys (and before that; fish, one celled creatures, and “chemical soup”).

I have made the earth, and created man upon it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded. . . For thus says Yahweh that created the heavens; The Mighty One himself that formed the earth and made it; He has established it, He created it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited: I am Yahweh; and there is none else. (Isaiah 45:12, 18)

This fact of the existence of a Divine Creator is evident in creation itself.

For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Deity; so that they are without excuse: (Romans 1:20)

Do not be deceived by men who profess to be wise and come up with all sorts of unscientific theories about how creation and life came to be. They are merely guessing, having not been eyewitnesses to creation. Actually, it is more like wishful thinking. They do not want to admit to the existence of a Divine Creator because then they would need to be subject to Him and His commandments. Their willful ignorance allows them to continue in their sinful ways without fear of judgment. However, a judgment day is coming.

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasure up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of [Yahweh]; Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honor and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But glory, honor, and peace, to every man that works good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with [Yahweh]. (Romans 2:5-11)

The question for you is, “How are you going to fare come judgment day? Will you receive a favorable judgment and be granted eternal life or an unfavorable judgment and be granted eternal death?

For [Yahweh] so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For [Yahweh] sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believes on him is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of [Yahweh]. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For every one that does evil hates the light, neither comes to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that does truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in [Yahweh]. (John 3:16-21)

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that hears my word, and believes on him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of [Yahweh]: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself; and has given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice, And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation. (John 5:24-29)

You may ask, “On what grounds would I be condemned to eternal death? I am a good person and help others whenever I can.”

Your Creator, Almighty Yahweh, has a holy law that you and all men have broken. When that law is broken it is called “sin”.

Whosoever commits sin transgresses also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. (1 John 3:4)

All men have sinned (broken Yahweh’s law).

For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of [Yahweh]; (Romans 3:23)

The payment or consequence for sin is death.

For the wages of sin is death; (Romans 6:23a)

Now ask yourself, “Have I sinned by breaking Yahweh’s law?” If you ever stole anything, lied, worked on Yahweh’s Sabbath Day (Saturday), committed adultery, desired something you could not lawfully have, etc., then you have sinned and are under the death penalty. That penalty will be carried out come judgment day. Are you ready to face your judge? Do you have a defense ready that will free you from death?

There is only one way to be freed from sin and from the death penalty imposed upon you. His name is Yahshua (also known as Jesus).

Yahshua said unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)

Yahshua said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believes in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this? (John 11:25-26)

Do you believe this? If not, you will die an eternal death. If so, you will live forever.

“How can that be” you ask? “How can believing in a man have such an effect on my eternal destiny?”

Since the payment for sin is death, someone had to take your place and die for you. Someone had to take your sin and punishment upon himself. That someone was Yahshua, the only begotten Son of your Creator, Yahweh.

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.  All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken. And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth. Yet it pleased Yahweh to bruise him; He has put him to grief: when you shall make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of Yahweh shall prosper in his hand. He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. (Isaiah 53:5-12)

For even hereunto were you called: because Messiah also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps: Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed. For you were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls. (1 Peter 2:25)

The Bible teaches that sin and death entered the world through one man, Adam.

Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (Romans 5:12)

The Bible also teaches that through one man’s obedience, righteousness and life were made available again to all mankind.

For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Yahshua Messiah.

Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life.

For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. (Romans 5:17-19)

Yahshua the Messiah is that one man, the only man that lived a sinless life by obeying all of Yahweh’s laws.

For He has made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of [Yahweh] in him. (2 Corinthians 5:21)

Because he was sinless, Yahweh was able to use him to bear the sins of the world.

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and Yahweh hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53:6)

Let’s recap your situation.

You sinned by breaking Yahweh’s holy law.

You placed yourself under the death penalty for sin.

You have no hope of escaping eternal death.

You are reading this article and now have hope.

You found out that Yahshua took the sins of the world upon himself so they would not have to die an eternal death, but live forever.

Now ask yourself, “How can I receive this incredible forgiveness of my own sins and live forever?”

And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Master Yahshua Messiah, and you shall be saved, and your house. (Act 16:31)

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Yahshua Messiah for the remission of sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Act 2:38)

To “repent” involves confessing your sins to Yahweh, asking Him to forgive you and turning away from them by not committing those sins again.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of [Yahweh], even to them that believe on his name: (John 1:12)

To “receive” the Master Yahshua is to accept him as your Master and Savior and allowing him to lead you through life. It includes choosing to obey his commandments.

That if you shall confess with thy mouth the Master Yahshua, and shall believe in your heart that [Yahweh] has raised him from the dead, you shall be saved. For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. (Romans 10:9-10)

You make a public confession that Yahshua has become your Master and Savior when you get baptized (totally immersed under water to wash away your sins and symbolizing putting to death your old sinful self in the watery grave and rising up out of the grave a new man).

Once you have made such a commitment and received this precious salvation as a free gift from your Creator, you should begin walking in obedience to not only His commandments, but Yahshua’s as well. Obedience to the commandments is a fruit of your salvation and is brought about by the work of the Holy Spirit within you.

And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my judgments, and do them. (Ezekiel 36:27)

It is that same Holy Spirit that lives within a true believer that will bring about your resurrection from the dead.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against [Yahweh]: for it is not subject to the law of [Yahweh], neither indeed can be. So then they that are in the flesh cannot please [Yahweh]. But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of [Yahweh] dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Messiah, he is none of his. And if Messiah be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Yahshua from the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Messiah from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwells in you. (Romans 8:11)

There are many promises made by Yahweh that the believer will receive from Him. The gift of the Holy Spirit and eternal life are only two of them. If Yahweh permits, I will lay out those promises in a future article.

So dear friend, you have reached a crossroads in your life. A decision must be made to either receive Yahshua as your Master and Savior and all the blessings that that entails or reject him and continue in your present ways until judgment day and then suffer the consequences.

“What are the consequences of rejecting Yahshua” you may ask?

He that believes on him (Yahshua) is not condemned: but he that believes not is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of [Yahweh]. (John 3:18)

Who is a liar but he that denies that Yahshua is the Messiah? He is anti-Messiah, that denies the Father and the Son. Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: (but) he that acknowledges the Son has the Father also. ( 1 John 2:22-23)

He that believes on the Son of [Yahweh] has the witness in himself: he that believes not [Yahweh] has made Him a liar; because he believes not the record that [Yahweh] gave of His Son. And this is the record, that [Yahweh] has given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that has the Son has life; and he that has not the Son of [Yahweh] has not life. (1 John 5:10-12)

He that overcomes shall inherit all things; and I will be his [Yahweh], and he shall be my son. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. (Revelation 21:7-8)

Choose wisely dear reader.
