We will all live for eternity!

The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob made us in His image designing us to live for eternity. Where will that be? The Hebrew Bible says that Heaven or Hell are the only two choices we have. And once you pass on from this life, so does the ability to choose. What destination awaits you?

The Hebrew Bible says that man’s sins separate him from a perfect and Holy God.

God declares that we are all sinners and deserve the wrath of God. We do not measure up to His perfect and Holy standards. Man currently experiences separation (spiritual death) between himself and God because of sin. But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have Hid his face from you, that he will not hear (Isaiah 59:2). For there is not a just man on earth who does good and does not sin (Ecclesiastes 7:20). And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27). And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt (Daniel 12:2).

God requires blood sacrifice for the atonement of sin.

Leviticus 17:11: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul."

In the past, God atoned for man’s sin by implementing the Levitical system of animal blood sacrifices pointing forward to the perfect and final sacrifice for sin made by Messiah Himself (Leviticus chapters 1-7).

In Isaiah, we view Messiah’s sacrificial death for the atonement of our sins.

Isaiah 53:5-12: 5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: 6 ... and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 7 ... he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, 10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he had put him to grief: when He shall make his soul an offering for sin, 12 ... because he had poured out his soul unto death: ... and he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

Hebrews 9:12: Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us (New Covenant).

John 1:29: The next day John saw Jesus (Yeshua) coming toward him, and said, Behold the Lamb of God which takes away the sin of the world (New Covenant).

1 Corinthians 15:3-4: ... 3 how that Messiah died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: (New Covenant).

Romans 5:8: But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Messiah died for us (New Covenant).

1 John 1:7 ... and the blood of Messiah Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. Romans 5:9: ... being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath

through him (New Covenant).

By his sacrificial death and resurrection, the atoning blood of Messiah inaugurated and ratified the new covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34) between God and man promising a complete forgiveness of sin (Isaiah 53).

Messiah was crucified on Passover, and his body, the sinless bread of life, was broken and buried during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Three days later, he was raised to life on the Feast of Firstfruits. God’s plan of redemption was perfectly timed and we see that it was God's plan all along for Messiah to suffer, die and be resurrected as an atonement for our sins (Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 53, Psalm 16:10).

Salvation by Faith

We must believe God as our father Abraham did.

Genesis 15:6: And he (Abraham) believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness.

Habakkuk 2:4: ... but the just shall live by his faith.
New Covenant (Brit-Chadashah)

John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 6:29: Jesus answered and said to them, This is the work of God, that you believe on Him whom He has sent.

John 3:36: He that believes on the Son has everlasting life; and he that believes not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.

1 Thessalonians 5:9: For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Messiah Jesus-Yeshua.

Ephesians 2:8: For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob sent His Son Messiah Yeshua (Jesus)
to provide the ultimate blood atonement for the remission of sin. On our behalf, Messiah Jesus perfectly obeyed God's Holy Law, died as the final sacrifice for the forgiveness of sin, was buried and resurrected providing salvation for both Jews and Gentiles who accept His final atoning sacrifice for the forgiveness of their sins. His free gift of salvation is for those who place their faith in His sacrificial death, burial and resurrection.

Believe in Jesus-Yeshua, God’s promised Messiah and Deliverer, and the moment you do, like Abraham, God counts your faith as righteousness and gives you the gift of eternal life and peace with God
and you are now “born again” spiritually.

Happy Birthday Again!
